Page 3: Overview
1.2 WARRANTY The warranty for Trane machines is 12 months from the date the machine is operated for the first time but no more than 18 months from the date of the invoice. The warranty is reduced to 6 months from the start up date for units running continuously, that is more than 12 hours a day. - Page 4 2.2 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS The operator must only intervene on the unit commands; he or she must not open any panels except for the one which gives access to the command module. The installer must only intervene on the connections between the plant and the machine; he or she must not open any machine panels nor carry out any commands.
- Page 5 • if the unit is to be moved after a year of being in the site or if it has to be dismantled contact Trane. VERY IMPORTANT No refrigerant high pressure safety valve is installed on RAUX (RAUS mounts a refrigerant safety valve instead).

INSTALLATION 4.1 MOVING AND POSITIONING THE UNIT The units have been designed to be lifted from above by means of eyebolts and holes in the base members. Use retractor bars to keep the lifting wires or chains away from the unit. Figure 1 Correct lifting procedure Lifting procedures provided with the unit have to be respected. - Page 10 4.2 MINIMUM SPACE REQUIREMENTS Dimensional drawing shall be respected to avoid: • Noise • Incorrect heat exchange and ventilation • Difficult maintenance or inaccessibility to components It is fundamental to respect minimum distances on all RAUS / RAUX units, in order to ensure optimum ventilation for the condenser coils.

4.6 PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THE PRESENCE OF FOLIAGE AND FOREIGN BODIES Avoid installing the unit in the immediate vicinity of plants that can prevent proper intake and discharge air. 4.7 CONTROL OF COMPRESSOR FASTENING The compressors are fitted on shock absorbers. For fixing through spring anti-vibration mounts, it is necessary to remove blockages put to fasten the compressors, as indicated on the label on compressors body. -
Page 12: How To Size Refrigerant Lines
HOW TO SIZE REFRIGERANT LINES In the dimensioning of refrigerant lines of air conditioning systems equipped with two sections, the designer has to take into account that, due to the pressure loss of the refrigerant circuits, cooling capacity decrease and compressors power input increase may occur. - Page 13 RAUX connection kit includes: nr.2 check valves, nr.1 mechanical expansion valve, nr.2 safety valves on liquid line. Additional R410A refrigerant charge for a linear meter of pipe Diameter (mm) Gas (Kg/m) Liquid (Kg/m) 0.0014 0.0133 0.005 0.051 0.008 0.079 0.014 0.139 0.019 0.182...
- Page 14 7.3 CALCULATION OF THE EQUIVALENT PRESSURE DROP For a correct and quick dimensioning of refrigerant lines please refer to the following table, developed for R410A refrigerant. Table 1: Cooling capacity corresponding to different tubes diameter referred to different pressure drops or speed values. This table refers to the pressure drop values or speed values (for the liquid line) indicated in the column heading.
- Page 15 Those fictitious lengths are shown in the table 2 and shall be considered effective for fully open valves. Table 2: Equivalent lengths (in meters) for concentrated drops. The table1 is referred to a condensation temperature of 40°C. In case of different condensation temperatures the following correcting values shall be applied to the cooling capacity. Cond.
- Page 16 pressure drops that would occur on the line using the diameter corresponding to the cooling capacity of the unit. The equivalent length is about 60 meters, then with a pressure drops of 0.02 K / m the total pressure drops are equal to: T = 60x0,02 = 1.2 K These pressure drops are higher than the maximum specified by ASHRAE.
- Page 17 Table 3: Minimum capacity (kW) ensuring the oil flowing in vertical sections of the suction line (R410a refrigerant). The cooling capacity shown in table 3 refer to 40°C of condensing temperature: in case of different temperature values of the liquid line, the capacities must be adjusted according to the following factors: Liquid temperature (°C) Correction factor...
- Page 18 It might be guessed that in order to guarantee the proper speed ensuring the correct oil flow, if the compressor is working at partial loads, the diameter shall be reduced, therefore a too much high speed is obtained when the compressor is working at full load. This is cause of excessive pressure drops.
- Page 19 If the two evaporators are installed at different levels there are two possible solutions shown in figure2. On the discharge line, there is the same problem due to the oil flow on the suction line. The solution to the problem is the same. In this case, the most important issue could be the oil drop towards the compressor.

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the liquid receiver location for RAUX versions shall be evaluated in accordance to the refrigerant charge delta of the two cycles. If the higher refrigerant charge is required for the chiller mode the liquid receiver shall be placed in a location that ensure the proper filling during the operation in heat pump mode and the proper emptiness during chiller mode. -
Page 25: Electrical Panel
The electrical panel supply is 400V/3ph+n/50Hz suitable for TN-S system and no additional power supply is necessary. If the unit is powered by a TN-C, TT or IT power supply system the Trane catalogue option “power supply without neutral 400V/3ph/50Hz” must have been ordered and implemented in the unit’s electrical cabinet. -
Page 26: Operator Responsabilities
11 OPERATOR RESPONSABILITIES It is important that the operator is properly trained and familiar with the equipment before working on the unit. In addition to reading this manual, the operator must study the manual operation of the microprocessor and the wiring diagram to understand the sequence of start- up, operation, shutdown sequences, and the criterion of operation of all safety devices. -

Page 31: Maintenance
Every unit comes with a logbook, in which the user or the person delegated to machine maintenance can keep all the required notes, in order to keep a historical log of the Trane unit. A lack of notes in the logbook could be considered proof of careless maintenance. - Page 32 “dirty” or corrosive environment. Cleaning with cleansers or detergents is strongly discouraged due to the all- aluminum construction; straight water should prove sufficient, if not please contact Trane. Any breach in the tubes can result in refrigerant leaks IMPORTANT: Only in extreme cases should any type of chemical cleaner or detergent be used on microchannel coils.
