Risks for contact with the Vapors don’t take any effect. Splashes or sprinklers can cause chill burns. In those cases it is necessary to eyes rinse the eyes with water or with solution for ocular washings for 10 minutes. The intervention of a doctor is needed. Should it happen, it causes chill burns.

l. WARNING – HIGH PRESSURE SAFETY VALVE No high pressure safety valve is installed on the unit. The unit fail safe is assured by cut-out of the electrical power supply to the coils of the compressors contactors. The cut-out action is carried out by the electrical contact of the dedicated high pressure switch PA highlighted in the figure below “Part of the refrigerant circuit drawing which includes the high pressure switch PA”.
only with Only CONDENSING with CONTROL ambient (OPTIONAL) temp. kit 3. OPERATING LIMITS STORAGE The units can be stored within the following environmental conditions: Min ambient temperature -10°C Max ambient temperature 53°C Max relative humidity 95% not condensable CAUTION: The storage in a very high humidity space (condensation) can damage electronic components. OPERATING LIMITS Unit operation is permitted within the limits indicated in the diagram provided in 3.3.
CHILLER MODE Glycol only with CONDENSING CONTROL (OPTIONAL) Leaving water temperature [°C] Low ambient air temperature kit down to -20°C: Electrical heater in the control box Low temperature resistant electrical cables Hydrofil treated coil Additional coil heater IMPORTANT The low ambient air temperature kit is mandatory for temperatures from -20 °C to -10 °C. 4.
Minimum space requirements reported in the 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 units to ensure optimum ventilation for the condenser coils. Limited installation space could reduce the normal air flow, thus significantly reducing the unit performance and considerably increasing consumption of electrical energy.

Follow proper lock out/tag out procedures to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized. For variable frequency drives or other energy storing components provided by Trane or others, refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s literature for allowable waiting periods for discharges capacitors. Verify with an appropriate voltmeter that all capacitors have discharged.

REFRIGERANT CHARGE Refrigerant replacement procedure with unit stopped and in vacuum (refrigerant charge in the liquid phase) Open the shut off valve as far as possible so that it closes the service coupling. Connect the refrigerant cylinder to the service coupling without tightening the coupling.
Refrigerant replacement procedure with unit running (refrigerant charge in the vapour phase) Caution: charge vapour only. Do not charge liquid because it may damage the compressor. Connect the refrigerant cylinder to the service valve without tightening the coupling. Drain the connection piping and tighten the coupling.

STARTING UP All the compressors mounted on Trane units are factory charged with oil whose chemical characteristic of stability are very good, so it is not necessary to change frequently the lubricant oil. The scroll compressors are equipped with an oil sight glass from which you can control the level. In tandem or trio performances, pay particular attention to oil level.
The oil temperature must be at least 5°C higher than the saturation temperature of the refrigerant inside the compressor. • Place the unit in the “ON” and wait until the unit is indicated on the display-On. • Turn on the pump (at max speed if with inverter). •...

the operating parameters of the unit. The collection of these data will be very useful to technicians if assistance is requested. Compressor Maintenance IMPORTANT! This inspection must be performed by qualified and trained personnel. The analysis of vibration is a great tool for checking the mechanical conditions of the compressor. It is recommended to check the value of the vibration immediately after starting and periodically on an annual basis.
