About this manual

Operation and maintenance

information for models CVGF

are covered in this manual. This

includes both 50 and 60 Hz.

CVGF centrifugal chillers

equipped with the Tracer CH530

Chiller Controller system.

Carefully review this information

and follow the instructions given

to successfully operate and

maintain a CVGF unit.

If mechanical problems do

occur, contact a qualified service

organization to ensure proper

diagnosis and repair of the unit.

Cooling Cycle

The refrigeration cycle of the

CVGF chiller can be described

using the pressure-enthalpy

diagram shown in Figure 3. Key

state points are indicated and

will be referred to in the

following discussion. A

schematic of the system

showing refrigerant flow is given

in Figure 4.

Evaporator - A liquid vapor

refrigerant mixture enters the

evaporator at state point 1.

Liquid refrigerant is vaporized to

state point 2 as it absorbs heat

from the system cooling load.

The vaporized refrigerant flows

into the compressor first stage.

Compressor first stage -

Refrigerant vapor is drawn from

the evaporator into the first

stage compressor. The first stage

impeller accelerates the vapor

increasing its temperature and

pressure to state point 3.

Condenser 4

2nd stage

Compressor

1st stage

CVGF-SVU02B-E4

Compressor second stage -

Refrigerant vapor leaving the

first stage compressor is mixed

with cooler refrigerant vapor

from the economizer. This

mixing lowers the enthalpy of

the vapor entering the second

stage. The second stage

impeller accelerates the vapor,

further increasing its

temperature and pressure to

state point 4.

Condenser - Refrigerant vapor

enters the condenser where the

system cooling load and heat of

compression are rejected to the

condenser water circuit. This

heat rejection cools and

condenses the refrigerant vapor

to a liquid at state point 5.

Economizer and refrigerant

orifice system - Liquid

refrigerant leaving the

condenser at state point 5 flows

through the first orifice and

enters the economizer to flash a

small amount of refrigerant at

an intermediate pressure

labeled P1. Flashing some liquid

refrigerant cools the remaining

liquid to state point 8.

Another benefit of flashing

refrigerant is to increase the

total evaporator Refrigeration

Effect from RE’ to RE. The

economizer provides around 4

percent energy savings

compared to chillers with no

economizer.

To complete the operating cycle,

liquid refrigerant leaving the

economizer at state point 8

flows through a second orifice.

Here refrigerant pressure and

temperature are reduced to

evaporator conditions at state

point 1.

An innovative design feature of

the CVGF chiller is maximizing

the evaporator heat transfer

performance while minimizing

refrigerant charge requirements.

This is accomplished by the

Trane-patented falling film

evaporator design. The amount

of refrigerant charge required in

CVGF is less than that in

comparably sized chillers of

flooded evaporator design.

Compressor Description

The CVGF compressor consists

of three distinct sections: the

two-stage centrifugal

compressor, the motor, and the

gear box with integral oil sump.

See Figure 5.

Compressor

The centrifugal compressor is

two-stage with high-strength

aluminum alloy fully shrouded

impellers. The impellers are

tested at 25 percent over design

operating speed. The rotating

assembly is dynamically

balanced for vibration of less

than 5.1 mm/sec (0.2 ips peak

velocities) at nominal operating

speeds. The control system

affords 20 to 100 percent

capacity modulation by

electrically actuated guide vanes

upstream of each impeller.
