Installation - Mechanical
Pre-Installation
Report any damage incurred during handling or installation to the Trane sales
office immediately. An Installation Check Sheet is provided at the end of the
Section
"Installation -
Electrical".
Location Requirements
Noise Considerations
Locate the RTWA/RTUA unit away from sound sensitive areas. If required,
install rubber vibration isolators in all water piping and use flexible electrical
conduit. Refer to Paragraph
instructions on mounting isolators under the unit. Consult an acoustical
engineer for critical applications.
Foundation
Provide rigid, non-warping mounting pads or a concrete foundation of suffi-
cient strength and mass to support the applicable operating weight (i.e.,
including completed piping, and full operating charges of refrigerant, oil and
water). Refer to Tables 1,
the unit must be level within 1/4" (6.4 mm) over its length and width. The
Trane Company 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 mainte-
nance personnel unrestricted access to all service points. Refer to submittal
drawings for the unit dimensions, to provide sufficient clearance for the
opening of control panel doors and unit service. Refer to Figures
and
11
for minimum clearances. In all cases, local codes which require
additional clearances will take precedence over these recommendations.
NOTE: If the unit configuration requires a variance to the clearance dimen-
sions, contact your Trane Sales Office Representative. Also refer to Trane
Engineering Bulletins for application information on RTWA, RTUA and RTCA
chillers.
Rigging
The Model RTWA/RTUA chiller should be moved by lifting, if the optional skid
is removed. The RTCA should always be moved by lifting.
Refer to Figures 2,
7
and
to the rigging diagram that ships with each unit for specific "per unit" weight
data.
