Insulation

Unit Insulation Requirements

Factory-installed insulation is available as an option for
all units. Factory installation does NOT include
insulation of the chiller feet; if required, insulation for
chiller feet is provided by others. In applications where
the chiller is not factory-insulated, install insulation
over the areas outlined and highlighted with dashed
lines as shown in the figure in
Insulation," p.
41.
Insulate all 1/4-in. (6.35-mm) eductor lines, one from
the suction cover and one from the evaporator, to
prevent sweating.
The quantities of insulation required based on unit size
and insulation thickness are listed in the following
table. Insulation thickness is determined at normal
design conditions which are:
Standard comfort-cooling leaving chilled water
temperature
85°F (29.4°C) dry bulb ambient temperature
75 percent relative humidity
Operation outside of normal design conditions as
defined in this section may require additional
insulation; contact Trane for further review.

3/4-in. (19.05-mm) sheet insulation is installed on the evaporator, evaporator waterboxes, suction elbow, and suction cover.
(b)
3/8-in. (9.525-mm) sheet insulation is installed on all economizers. All liquid lines and other pipes require the use of 1/2-in. (12.7-mm) pipe insulation or
3/8-in. (9.525-mm) sheet insulation. Copper oil eductor tube lines require pipe insulation.

N N o o t t e e : : If the unit is not factory-insulated, install
insulation around the evaporator bulbwells and
ensure that the bulbwells and connections for
the waterbox drains and vents are still accessible
after insulation is applied. The sensor modules
(Low Level Intelligent Devices [LLIDs]) and
interconnecting four-wire cable inter-processor
communication (IPC) bus must be raised up
above the field-installed insulation. Secure the
IPC bus to the insulation top/outer surface after
insulation is completed.
