Application Considerations
Condenser Water Temperatures
With the model RTHD chiller, condenser head pressure control is necessary only if the unit starts
with leaving condenser water temperatures below or cannot rise to within 10 minutes.
When the application requires startup temperatures below the prescribed minimums, a variety of
system implementation options are available. Here are two recommended methods to control the
unit operating conditions for the purpose of refrigerant differential pressure control.
1. Condenser Entering Water Temperature Control
• Tower bypass may also be a valid control method if the chiller temperature requirements can
be maintained and the loop is small.
2. Condenser Water Flow Control
• To control a 2-way or 3-way valve, select the Condenser Regulating Valve Control option for
the Tracer® UC800 controls. This option enables the UC800 controls to send an analog
electronic signal for opening and closing the valve as necessary to maintain chiller
differential refrigerant pressure.
The minimum acceptable refrigerant pressure differential between condenser and evaporator is 23
psid (158.6 kPa) at all load conditions in order to ensure adequate oil circulation. The condenser and
evaporator pressure differential must be 15 psid (103.4 kPa) within 2 minutes of start up. This
equates to the condenser leaving water temperature being 14°F (7.8°C) higher than evaporator
leaving water temperature within 2 minutes of startup at typical operating conditions.
Trane chillers start and operate successfully and reliably over a range of load conditions with
controlled condenser pressure. Reducing the condenser water temperature is an effective method
of lowering chiller power input required, but the ideal temperature for optimizing total system
power consumption will depend on the overall system dynamics. From a system perspective,
some improvements in chiller efficiency may be offset by the increased tower fan and pumping
costs required to achieve the lower tower temperatures. Contact your local Trane systems solution
provider for more information on optimizing system performance.

Variable Evaporator Flow and Short Evaporator Water Loops


Variable evaporator flow is an energy-saving design strategy which has quickly gained acceptance
as advances in chiller and controls technology have made it possible. With its superior unloading
compressor design and advanced UC800 controls, the chiller has excellent capability to maintain
leaving water temperature control within +/-0.5°F (0.28°C), even for systems with variable
evaporator flow.
Some basic rules should be followed whenever using these system design and operational savings
methods with the chiller. The proper location of the chilled water temperature control sensor is in
the supply (outlet) water. This location allows the building to act as a buffer, and it assures a slowly
changing return water temperature. If there is insufficient water volume in the system to provide
an adequate buffer, temperature control can be lost, resulting in erratic system operation and
excessive compressor cycling. To ensure consistent operation and tight temperature control, the
chilled water loop should be at least two minutes. If this recommendation cannot be followed, and
tight leaving water temperature control is necessary, a storage tank or larger header pipe should
be installed to increase the volume of water in the system.
For variable-primary flow (VPF) applications, the rate of chilled water flow change should not
exceed 10 percent of design per minute to maintain +/- 0.5°F (0.28°C)leaving evaporator
temperature control. For applications in which system energy savings is most important and tight
temperature control is classified as +/-2°F (1.1°C), up to 30 percent change in flow per minute are
possible. Flow rates should be maintained between the minimum and maximum allowed for any
particular chiller configuration.

RLC-PRC020J-EN 9
Application Considerations

With the help of a software analysis tool such as System Analyzer™, TRACE™, or EnergyPlus™,
you can determine whether the anticipated energy savings justify the use of variable-primary flow
in a particular application. Existing constant flow chilled water systems may be relatively easily
converted to VPF and benefit greatly from the inherent efficiency advantages.

Series Chiller Arrangements


Another energy-saving strategy is to design the system around chillers arranged in series, on the
evaporator, condenser, or both. It is possible to operate a pair of chillers more efficiently in a series
chiller arrangement than in a parallel arrangement. It is also possible to achieve higher entering-
to-leaving chiller differentials, which may, in turn, provide the opportunity for lower chilled water
design temperature, lower design flow, and resulting installation and operational cost savings
(including downsizing a chiller).
The Trane screw compressor also has excellent “lift” capabilities which afford an opportunity for
savings on the evaporator and condenser water loops. Like series arrangements on the evaporator,
series arrangements on the condenser may enable savings. This approach may allow reductions
in pump and tower installation and operating costs.
Maximizing system efficiency requires that the designer balance performance considerations for all system
components; the best approach may or may not involve multiple chillers, or series arrangement of the
evaporators and/or condensers. This ideal balance of design integrity with installation and operating cost
considerations should be researched by consulting a Trane systems solutions provider and applying the TRACE
building energy and economic analysis program.

Application Considerations

Dry Cooler
The RTHD can be used with dry coolers. Generally this application is selected to minimize the
spread of airborne contaminates associated with open tower systems. In addition, other drawbacks
of cooling towers are avoided: water consumption, production of vapor, need of water treatment,
etc. Another benefit of dry coolers is the ability to operate in low ambient conditions. With the use
of a third party heat exchanger this design can also be used to provide free cooling to the chilled
water loop during cold weather.

Heat Recovery
At a time when energy costs are high and continue to rise, reducing energy usage has become
increasingly important. By using a RTHD chiller with heat recovery, utilization of energy can be
improved by using heat from the condenser that would otherwise be wasted. Leaving condenser
water control option provides the ability to control the heating setpoint up to 114°F (45.6°C).
The use of heat recovery should be considered in any building with simultaneous heating and cooling
requirements or in facilities where heat can be stored and used at a later time. Buildings with high year-round
internal cooling loads are excellent opportunities for heat recovery. Heat recovery can be accomplished with
the RTHD by recovering heat from the water leaving the standard condenser and using it in conjunction with a
third party heat exchanger.

Application Considerations

Water Treatment
The use of untreated or improperly treated water in chillers may result in scaling, erosion,
corrosion, and algae or slime buildup. It is recommended that the services of a qualified water
treatment specialist be engaged to determine what treatment, if any, is advisable.

Water Pumps
Where noise limitation and vibration-free operation are important, Trane strongly encourages the
use of 1750-rpm (60 Hz) [1450-rpm (50 Hz)] pumps. Specifying or using 3600-rpm (60 Hz) [3000-rpm
(50 Hz)] condenser water and chilled water pumps must be avoided, because such pumps may
operate with objectionable levels of noise and vibration. In addition, a low frequency beat may
occur due to the slight difference in operating rpm between 3600-rpm (60 Hz) [3000-rpm (50 Hz)]
water pumps and chiller motors.
Note: The chilled water pump must not be used to stop the chiller.

Acoustic Considerations
For chiller sound ratings, installation tips, and considerations on chiller location, pipe isolation,
etc., see the Water-Cooled Chillers Sound Ratings and Installation Guide.

Controls
Tracer® AdaptiView™ TD7 Operator Interface
The standard Tracer Adaptiview™ TD7 display provided with the Tracer® UC800 controller features
a 7- inch LCD touch-screen, allowing access to all operational inputs and outputs. This is an
advanced interface that allows the user to access any important information concerning setpoints,
active temperatures, modes, electrical data, pressure, and diagnostics. It uses full text display
available in 26 languages.

Display Features Include:


• LCD touch-screen with LED backlighting, for scrolling access to input and output operating
information
• Single-screen, folder/tab-style display of all available information on individual components
(evaporator, condenser, compressor, etc.)
• Manual override indication
• Password entry/lockout system to enable or disable display
• Automatic and immediate stop capabilities for standard or immediate manual shutdown
• Fast, easy access to available chiller data in tabbed format, including:
• Easy to view Operating Modes
• Logical Sub-Component Reports:
• Evaporator
• Condenser
• Compressor
• Motor
• 3 User Programmable Custom Reports
• ASHRAE report
• Logsheet Report
• Alarms Report
• 8 pre-defined Standard Graphs
• 4 User Programmable Custom Graphs
• Chiller Settings
• Feature Settings
• Chilled Water Reset
• Manual Control Settings
• Globalization Settings
• Support of 26 languages
• Brightness Setting
• Cleaning Mode

Tracer® SC
The Tracer® SC system controller acts as the central coordinator for all individual equipment
devices on a Tracer building automation system. The Tracer® SC scans all unit controllers to update
information and coordinate building control, including building subsystems such as VAV and
chiller water systems. With this system option, the full breadth of Trane’s HVAC and controls
experience are applied to offer solutions to many facility issues. The LAN allows building operators

RLC-PRC020J-EN 21
Controls

to manage these varied components as one system from any personal computer with web access.
The benefits of this system are:
• Improved usability with automatic data collection, enhanced data logging, easier to create
graphics, simpler navigation, pre-programmed scheduling, reporting, and alarm logs.
• Flexible technology allows for system sizes from 30-120 unit controllers with any combination
of LonTalk® or BACnet® unit controllers.
• LEED certification through site commissioning report, energy data collection measurement,
optimizing energy performance, and maintaining indoor air quality.
• Energy savings programs include: fan pressure optimization, ventilation reset, and chiller plant
control (adds and subtracts chillers to meet cooling loads).

BACnet® Interface
Tracer AdaptiView™ control can be configured for BACnet® communications at the factory or in
the field. This enables the chiller controller to communicate on a BACnet® MS/TP network. Chiller
setpoints, operating modes, alarms, and status can be monitored and controlled through BACnet.
Tracer AdaptiView™ controls conform to the BACnet® B-ASC profile as defined by ASHRAE
135-2004.

LonTalk® Communications Interface (LCI-C)


The optional LonTalk® Communications Interface for Chillers (LCI-C) is available factory or field
installed. It is an integrated communication board that enables the chiller controller to
communicate over a LonTalk® network. The LCI-C is capable of controlling and monitoring chiller
setpoints, operating modes, alarms, and status. The Trane LCI-C provides additional points beyond
the standard LONMARK® defined chiller profile to extend interoperability and support a broader
range of system applications. These added points are referred to as open extensions. The LCI-C is
certified to the LONMARK® Chiller Controller Functional Profile 8040 version 1.0, and follows
LonTalk® FTT-10A free topology communications.

Modbus™ Interface
Tracer AdaptiView™ control can be configured for Modbus™ communications at the factory or in
the field. This enables the chiller controller to communicate as a slave device on a Modbus™
network. Chiller setpoints, operating modes, alarms, and status can be monitored and controlled
by a Modbus™ master device.

Hardwire Points
Remote devices wired from the control panel are another reliable method of providing auxiliary
control to a building automation system. Inputs and outputs can be communicated via a typical 4–
20 mA electrical signal, an equivalent 2–10 Vdc signal, or by utilizing contact closures.
Selectable options:
• External chilled water setpoint, external current-limit setpoint
• Condenser leaving hot water temperature control setpoint (available on units with wye-
delta starters)
• Ice making control (available on units with wye-delta starters)
• Chilled water temperature reset
• Condenser pressure output
• Motor current analog output
• Programmable relays available outputs are: alarm-latching, alarm-auto reset, general
alarm, warning, chiller limit mode, compressor running, head pressure relief request, and
Tracer control

Electrical Data Table Information


Compressor motor electrical data is provided in Table 4, p. 23 and Table 5, p. 23 for each
compressor size. Rated load amperes (RLA), locked rotor wye amperes (LRA) and expected inrush
for the Wye-delta configurations are shown.
Although the terms “LRA” and “expected inrush” are often used interchangeably, the distinction
applied here is that LRA is the rated inrush for the motor, but expected inrush is that allowed by
the starter, based on the specific configuration. Selecting starters in the Wye-delta configuration
lowers expected inrush vs. the Delta (or “across-the- line”) configuration.
The RLA is based on the motor’s performance when reaching full rated horsepower. The kW rating
of the motor will equal or exceed the kW requirement indicated by the TOPSS™ selection program
at design conditions. If motor kW draw at design conditions is less than the kW rating of the motor,
the RLA at design conditions is determined by multiplying the motor RLA (at the desired voltage)
by this ratio: design kW/ motor kW rating. This calculation is performed within the computer
selection program, making RLA available as part of the design predictions. Predicted values
include power factor variation from point to point.
Optimus™ chillers are designed to operate satisfactorily over a utilization range of ±10 percent of
the standard design voltages: (a) 200V, 230V, 380V, 460V, and 575V for 60 Hertz, 3- phase, and (b)
380V, 400V, 415V for 50 Hertz, 3-phase.

and TFT LCD@ 600 nits brightness. The display provides alarms, reports, settings as well as
graphing. The display supports 26 languages and complies with the following standards: IP56,
RoHS, UL 916, CE, EN55011 (class B), and EN61000 (Industrial).

Unit Controls
All controls, including sensors, are factory mounted and tested prior to shipment. Microcomputer
controls provide all control functions including startup and shut down, leaving chilled water
temperature control, evaporator flow proving, compressor staging and speed control, electronic
expansion valve modulation, anti-recycle logic, automatic lead/lag compressor starting and load
limiting.
The Tracer® UC800 unit control module, utilizing Adaptive Control™ microprocessor,
automatically takes action to avoid unit shut-down due to abnormal operating conditions
associated with low refrigerant pressure, high condensing pressure, AFD/Compressor current
overload, low oil return or low AFD cooling, low discharge superheat, and high compressor
discharge temperature. Should the abnormal operating condition continue until a protective limit
is violated, the unit will be shut down. Unit protective functions of the UC800, include loss of chilled
water flow, evaporator freezing, loss of refrigerant, low refrigerant pressure, high refrigerant
pressure, high compressor motor temperature, and loss of oil to the compressor.
A full color Tracer AdaptiView™ TD7 touch screen display indicates all important unit and circuit
parameters, in logical groupings on various screens. The parameters including chilled water set
point, leaving chilled water temperature, demand limit set point, evaporator and condenser
refrigerant temperatures and pressures, compressor speeds, and all pertinent electrical
information. The display also provides “on screen” trending graphs of predefined parameters as
well as customizable trend graphs based on user defined parameters from a list of all available
parameters. The display also provides indication of the chiller and circuits’ top level operating
modes with detailed sub-mode reports available with a single key press, as well as diagnostics
annunciation and date and time stamped diagnostic history.

Options
Electrical Options
Adaptive Frequency Drive
Trane’s Adaptive Frequency™ Drive (AFD) technology for controlling the compressors is available
as an option on RTHD chillers. AFD is a family of adaptive frequency drives specifically designed
for Trane water chillers. AFD incorporates the Trane communication protocol enabling seamless
integration with the unit controller. AFD data such as drive status, temperatures, modes and
diagnostic information are accessible to the unit controller and through the Tracer® TU service tool.
AFD contains technology that enables the drive to last the life time of the chiller and with less down
time. The technology enables operation on various power systems including alternative energy
sources. AFD will protect itself and the compressor motor from over current, low or high line
voltage, phase loss, incoming phase imbalance, and over temperature due to loss of drive cooling
or loss of panel ventilation.
AFD incorporates improved serviceability and troubleshooting tools to identify the issue quickly
and get the chiller back up and running. All AFD control circuits are powered with class 2 low
voltage —separate from main power allowing service on the controls with the panel door open.
Additionally, the main electronic control modules can be serviced with the standard Trane screw
driver. The AFD further incorporates another Trane service tool to allow for firmware upgrades
through Tracer TU.
