General Information Unit Identification - Nameplates When the unit arrives, compare all nameplate data with ordering, submittal, and shipping information. A typical unit nameplate is shown in Figure Figure 1 Standatd Unit Nameplate Figure 2 Pump Package Unit Nameplate Nameplates The RTAA outdoor unit nameplates are applied to the exterior of the Control Panel.
Request an immediate, joint inspection of the damage with the car- rier and the consignee. • Notify the Trane sales representative and arrange for repair. Do not repair the unit, however, until damage is inspected by the transportation repre- sentative.
The units are factory charged with refrigerant and oil. The RTAA series features Trane's exclusive Adaptive Control™ logic with Clear Language Display. It monitors the control variables that govern the operation of the chiller unit. Adaptive Control logic can adjust these variables, when necessary, to optimize operational efficiencies, avoid chiller shutdown, and keep producing chilled water.

Operating Principles This section describes the mechanical operating principles of Series R air-cooled chillers equipped with microcomputer-based control systems.

Page 68
Operating Principles Compressor Rotors The compressor is a semi-hermetic, direct-drive helical rotary type compressor. Each compressor has two rotors - “male” and “female” - which provide compression. See Figure 33 The male rotor is attached to, and driven by, the motor, and the female rotor is, in turn, driven by the male rotor. Separately housed bearing sets are provided at each end of both rotors.
Operating Principles Compressor load capacity is determined by the positions of the unloader valves. They divert refrigerant gas from the rotors to the compressor suction, thus unloading the compressor. This varies the compressor capacity to match the load and reduces the KW draw of the compressor motor. The two-position female unloader will fully open or fully close a port on the rotor housing, at the discharge end of the female rotor.
Page 70
Operating Principles Compressor Bearing Oil Supply Oil is injected into the bearing housings located at each end of both the male and female rotors. Each bearing housing is vented to compressor suction, so that oil leaving the bearings returns through the compressor rotors to the oil separator.

Controls Interface Operational Features Entering Evaporator Water Temperature When one or both compressors are running, the UCM continually monitors and compares the entering and leaving evaporator water temperatures. If the temperature of the entering water drops more than 2 F below the leaving water temperature for more than 100 degree F seconds, the UCM uses this to indicate a loss of water flow through the evaporator.
Page 95
Controls Interface Current Overload Protection The UCM continually monitors compressor current to provide unit protection in the event of an overcurrent or locked rotor condition. Protection is based on the phase with the highest current and, if limits are exceeded, the UCM will shutdown the compressor and will display an MMR diagnostic.

Page 97
Controls Interface Leaving Water Temperature Cutout This temperature cutout provides protection against freezing caused by low leaving water temperature. The setpoint is both factory set and adjustable from the Service Settings Menu. Temperatures below the setpoint will cause the UCM to accelerate reduction of chiller capacity, even to the point of compressor shutdown.
Page 98
Controls Interface Table 17 Leaving Fluid Temperature Setpoints The leaving chilled water temperature is not the same as the ice termination setpoint. The ice termination setpoint is based on entering chilled water temperature. Therefore, the ice termination setpoint, minus temperature drop across the evaporator while in the ice making mode, equals the leaving chilled water temperature.

Controls Interface Low Refrigerant Temperature Cutout and Low Pressure Cutout Retry If the LRTC or LPC trips despite the low ambient temperature start logic, the circuit will be permitted to shutdown and retry one time. If the LRTC or LPC trips within the first 20 minutes after initial start but after the low ambient ignore time (grace period), the compressor stops immedi- ately and the Restart Inhibit timer is set to one minute.
Controls Interface ----------------------------- - = phase with greatest difference from lave (without regard to sign) If Phase Unbalanced Protection (Service Settings Menu) is enabled, and the average three phase current is greater than 80% RLA, and the percent of imbalance is calculated to exceed 15%, the UCM will shutdown the compressor and display a CMR diagnostic.

Pre-Start Checkout Unit Voltage Power Supply WARNING Live Electrical Components! During installation, testing, servicing and troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary to work with live electrical components. Have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual who has been properly trained in handling live electrical components perform these tasks.
Pre-Start Checkout Unit Voltage Phasing It is important that proper rotation of the compressors be established before the unit is started. Proper motor rotation requires confirmation of the electrical phase sequence of the power supply. The motor is internally connected for clockwise rotation with the incoming power supply phased A, B, C.
Pre-Start Checkout CAUTION Compressor Damage! Do not interchange any load leads that are from the unit contactors or the motor terminals. Reopen the unit disconnect and disconnect the phase indicator. Water System Flow Rates Establish a balanced chilled water flow through the evaporator. The flow rates should fall between the minimum and maximum values given in Table 1.

Start-Up Procedures refrigerant charge or excessive pressure drop in the liquid line. A restriction in the line can sometimes be identified by a noticeable temperature differential between the two sides of the restriction. Frost may form on the line at this point.

Page 110
Start-Up Procedures Figure 37 Unit Sequence of Operation RTAA-SVX01A-EN...
Start-Up Procedures • A shortage of refrigerant is indicated if operating pressures are low and subcooling is also low. If the operating pressures, sight glass, superheat and subcooling readings indicate a refrigerant shortage, gas-charge refrigerant into each circuit, as required. With the unit running, add refrigerant vapor by connecting the charging line to the suction service valve and charging through the backseat port until operating conditions become normal.
Unit Shutdown Procedures Temporary Shutdown and Restart To shut the unit down for a short time, use the following procedure: 1. Press the Stop key on the Clear Language Display. The compressors will continue to operate and, after unloading for 20 seconds, will stop when the compressor contactors de-energize.
Unit Shutdown Procedures CAUTION Accidental Start-up Damage! Lock the disconnects on the “OPEN” position to prevent accidental start-up and damage to the system when it has been setup for extended shutdown. 5. At least every three months (quarterly), check the pressure in the unit to verify that the refrigerant charge is intact.

Trane assumes no responsibility for equipment failures which result from untreated or improperly treated water, or saline or brackish water.
Periodic Maintenance Perform all maintenance procedures and inspections at the recommended intervals. This will prolong the life of the equipment and minimize the possi- bility of costly failures. Use an “Operator's Log”to record an operating history for the unit. The log serves as a valuable diagnostic tool for service personnel.
Periodic Maintenance • Manually rotate condenser fans to insure proper clearance on the fan openings. Annual Maintenance • Perform all weekly and monthly maintenance procedures. • Check the oil level and refrigerant charge. Refer to “Maintenance Proce- dures” . Routine changing of oil is not required. See Oil Separator Level Check in the Maintenance section of this manual.
