RTWS Operating Principles This section contains an overview of the operation of RTWS Series R chillers equipped with microcomputer-based control systems. It describes the overall operating principles of the RTWS water chiller. Note: To ensure proper diagnosis and repair, contact a qualified service organization if a problem should occur.
Refrigeration (Cooling) Cycle Overview The refrigeration cycle of the Series R chiller is conceptually similar to that of other Trane chiller products. It makes use of a shell-and-tube evaporator design with refrigerant evaporating on the shell side and water flowing inside tubes having enhanced surfaces.
Page 84
RTWS Operating Principles Figure7.3 Pressure/Enthalpy Curve Evaporation of refrigerant occurs in the evaporator. A metered amount of refrigerant liquid enters a distribution system in the evaporator shell and is then distributed to the tubes in the evaporator tube bundle. The refrigerant vaporizes as it cools the water flowing through the evaporator tubes.
Page 85
RTWS Operating Principles system (State Pt. 5). The mixture is distributed evenly over the tube bundle in the evaporator. The RTWS chiller maximizes the evaporator heat transfer performance while minimizing refrigerant charge requirements. This is accomplished by metering the liquid refrigerant flow to the evaporator’s distribution system using the electronic expansion valve.
RTWS Operating Principles Oil System Operation Overview Oil that collects in the bottom of the oil separator is at condensing pressure during compressor operation; therefore, oil is constantly moving to lower pressure areas. As the oil leaves the separator, it passes through the oil cooler. It then goes through the service valve and filter.
RTWS Operating Principles Compressor Motor A two-pole, hermetic, induction motor (3000 rpm at 50 Hz, 3600 rpm at 60 Hz) directly drives the compressor rotors. The motor is cooled by suction refrigerant gas from the evaporator, entering the end of the motor housing through the suction line. Compressor Rotors Each compressor has two rotors - “male”...
RTWS Operating Principles Figure7.6 RTWS Compressor Oil Separator The oil separator consists of a vertical tube, joined at the top by the refrigerant discharge line from the compressor. This causes the refrigerant to swirl in the tube and throws the oil to the outside, where it collects on the walls and flows to the bottom.
Controls Interface CH530 Communications Overview The Trane CH530 control system that runs the chiller consists of several elements: • The main processor collects data, status, and diagnostic information and communicates commands to the starter module and the LLID (for Low Level Intelligent Device) bus. The main processor has an integral display (DynaView).
Controls Interface DynaView Interface The DynaView share the same enclosure design: weatherproof and durable plastic for use as a stand-alone device on the outside of the unit or mounted nearby. The display on DynaView is a 1/4 VGA display with a resistive touch screen and an LED backlight. The display area is approximately 4 inches wide by 3 inches high (102mmx60mm).
Controls Interface increment(+) or decrement(-) arrows. Action Buttons Action buttons are buttons which appear temporarily and provide the operator with a choice such as Enter or Cancel. The operator indicates his choice by touching the button of choice. The system then takes the appropriate action and the button typically disappears. Hot Links Hot links are a graphical user interface (GUI) model used to navigate from one view to another view.
