Trane will document and photograph the status of the
unit prior to shipment and carry out the instructions
detailed in the factory order regarding in-shop
preparation of units for long-term storage.
Customer Responsibilities
Upon receipt of a chiller system, the customer must
conduct thorough internal and external inspections,
removing packaging material as needed for access to
all components.
Visible damage must be noted on the signed and dated
bill of lading. The customer may request a carrier
inspection by telephone or in person, but any such
request should be confirmed in writing. It is
recommended that the customer request that the
carrier inspect the damage within 72 hours of
notification.
The customer must store the chiller system in a dry,
non-corrosive, dust- and vibration-free environment
due to the exposure sensitivities of the microprocessor
controllers and to prevent electrical terminations from
deteriorating from non-use. Conditions in storage
locations should not fall below -20 °F (-29 °C) or exceed
150 °F (66 °C).
Components sealed in plastic shrink-wrap are not
exempt from these storage requirement. Moisture can
potentially collect inside the plastic film, resulting in
corrosion of the cabinet and electronic components.
Any chiller system packaging that is removed must be
replaced with similar protective covering as soon as
possible.
Failure to adhere to these long-term storage
requirements may void the Trane warranty. Any
component that is damaged or inoperable due to
improper storage may have its warranty voided.
Handling of the Modules
The packaging from the factory permits lifting with a
suitable crane. Ensure straps are in good working
condition and that they are rated for the weight of the
machines. Spreader bars may be required for effective
rigging and to avoid damage to the chiller modules.
The chiller modules arrive fully charged with
refrigerant. As required under Federal regulations,
installation, start-up and service should be performed
by fully-qualified, factory-certified, personnel.

Site Preparation and Clearances
Chiller modules must be installed on a level surface
that has been checked by a qualified structural
engineer to support the weight of the fluid-filled
modules and the connective piping to and from the
chiller. Installations must account for minimum service
access clearances as may be practical or required by
local building codes.
Chiller Clearances
One of the most critical factors affecting the
performance of air-cooled chillers is air flow above and
around the chiller modules. Walls, roofs, overhangs,
and nearby mechanical heat sources can all degrade
chiller performance. The further an air-cooled chiller is
from such obstacles, the more efficiently it will operate.
