Installation responsibilities

Generally, the contractor must do the

following when installing an

RTUB/RTCA unit.

• Install the units on a flat

foundation, level (within 1/4"

[6 mm] across the length of the

unit), and strong enough to support

unit loading.

• Install the units per the instructions

contained in the Installation section

of this manual.

• Install any optional sensors and

make electrical connections at the

UCM-CLD.

• Where specified for the RTUB,

provide and install valves in the

water piping upstream and

downstream of the evaporator

water connections, to isolate the

evaporator for maintenance and to

balance and trim the system.

• Furnish and install a flow switch

and/or auxiliary contacts to prove

chilled-water flow.

• Furnish and install pressure gauges

in the inlet and outlet piping of the

evaporator (for RTUB).

• Furnish and install a drain valve to

the bottom of the evaporator water

box (for RTUB).

• Supply and install a vent cock to the

top of the evaporator water box (for

RTUB).

• Furnish and install strainers ahead

of all pumps and automatic

modulating valves.

• Furnish and install check valves on

the discharge lines (between oil

separators and condenser) in order

to avoid any refrigerant migration

leading to catastrophic damages to

evaporator and/or compressor (due

to freeze-up or liquid slugging).

• Interconnect the RTUB and the

remote condenser.

• Provide and install field wiring.

• Install heat tape and insulate the

chilled-water lines and any other

portions of the system, as required,

to prevent sweating under normal

operating conditions or freezing

during low-ambient temperature

conditions.

• Start the unit under the supervision

of a qualified service technician.

Storage

If the chiller is stored for a long period

of time prior to installation, the

following precautionary measures must

be taken:

• Store the unit in a safe place

sheltered from bad weather

• At least every three months

(quarterly), check the pressure in

the refrigerant circuits to verify that

the nitrogen holding charge is

intact. If it is not, contact a qualified

service organization and the

appropriateTrane sales office.

• Close the discharge and liquid-line

isolation valves.

Installation

Special Lifting and Moving

Instructions

A specific lifting method is

recommended as follows:

1. Four lifting points are built into the

unit.

2. Slings and spreader bar to be

provided by rigger and attached to

the four lifting points.

3. Minimum rated lifting capacity

(vertical) of each sling and

spreader bar shall be no less than

the tabulated unit shipping weight.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN

This unit must be lifted with the

utmost care. Avoid shock load by

lifting slowly and evenly.

WWAARRNNIINNGG

To prevent any damage, position the

lifting bar so that the slings do not

touch the unit.

Isolation

The most effective form of isolation

is to locate the unit away from any

sound-sensitive area. Structurally

transmitted sound can be reduced by

elastomeric vibration eliminators.

Spring isolators are not

recommended for units equipped

with helical rotary compressors.

Consult an acoustical engineer in

critical sound applications. For

maximum isolation effect, isolate

water lines and electrical conduit.

Wall sleeves and rubber- isolated

piping hangers can be used to

reduce the sound transmitted

through water piping.To reduce the

sound transmitted through electrical

conduit, use flexible electrical

conduit. State and local codes on

sound emissions should always be

considered.

Foundation

Provide rigid, non-warping mounting

pads or a concrete foundation of

sufficient strength and mass to

support the unit's operating weight

(that is, including completed piping,

and full operating charges of

refrigerant, oil, and water). After it is

in place, the unit must be level

within 1/4" [6 mm] over its length

and width. Use shims if necessary.

The manufacturer is not responsible

for equipment problems resulting

from an improperly designed or

constructed foundation.

Note for RTCA:The unit must be

positioned so that the airflow

through the condensation coils is not

hindered by any obstacle.The
