Installation Mechanical

Location Requirements

Sound Considerations

Locate the unit away from sound-sensitive areas.
Install the optional elastomeric isolators under the unit.
See Isolation and Sound Emission section.
Chilled water piping should not be supported by chiller.
Install rubber vibration isolators in all water piping.
Use flexible electrical conduit.
Seal all wall penetrations.
Note: Consult an acoustical engineer for critical
applications.

Foundation

Provide rigid, non-warping mounting pads or a concrete
foundation of sufficient strength and mass to support the
applicable operating weight (completed piping and full
operating charges of refrigerant, oil and water). Attached
piping must be fully supported by an independent structure/
system, without being connected to the waterbox. Once in
place, the unit must be level within 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
across its length and width. Trane is not responsible for
equipment problems resulting from an improperly designed
or constructed foundation.

Clearances

Provide enough space around the unit to allow the
installation and maintenance personnel unrestricted
access to all service points. See submittal drawings for the
unit dimensions to provide sufficient clearance for the
opening of control panel doors and unit service. See
Dimensions and Weights chapter for minimum clearances.
In all cases, local codes which require additional
clearances will take precedence over these
recommendations.

Restricted Airflow Situations, Ascend™ Chiller Models

Lifting and Moving Instructions

WARNING
Heavy Object!
Failure to follow instructions below could result in
unit dropping which could result in death or serious
injury, and equipment or property-only damage.
Ensure that all the lifting equipment used is properly
rated for the weight of the unit being lifted. Each of the
cables (chains or slings), hooks, and shackles used to
lift the unit must be capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Lifting cables (chains or slings)
may not be of the same length. Adjust as necessary
for even unit lift.
WARNING
Improper Unit Lift!
Failure to properly lift unit in a LEVEL position could
result in unit dropping and possibly crushing
operator/technician which could result in death or
serious injury, and equipment or property-only
damage.
Test lift unit approximately 24 inches (61 cm) to verify
proper center of gravity lift point. To avoid dropping of
unit, reposition lifting point if unit is not level.
WARNING
Proper Lifting Configuration Required!
Failure to follow instructions below could cause the
unit to drop which could result in death, serious injury
or equipment damage.
Use ONLY lifting locations designated with label
shown below. DO NOT use locations marked with do-
not-lift label. See following figures for acceptable
lifting configuration, and refer to labels on the unit.
Figure 9. Lift/Do Not Lift labels
NOTICE
Equipment Damage!
Moving the chiller using a fork lift could result in
equipment or property-only damage.
Do not use a fork lift to move the chiller!
