Application Considerations
Certain application constraints should be considered when sizing, selecting and installingTrane
RTAE chillers. Unit and system reliability is often dependent upon proper and complete compliance
with these considerations. Where the application varies from the guidelines presented, it should
be reviewed with your localTrane account manager.
Note: The terms water and solution are used interchangeably in the following paragraphs.

Water Treatment
The use of untreated or improperly treated water in chillers may result in scaling, erosion,
corrosion, and algae or slime buildup.This will adversely affect heat transfer between the water
and system components. Proper water treatment must be determined locally and depends on the
type of system and local water characteristics.
Neither salt nor brackish water is recommend for use inTrane air-cooled RTAE chillers. Use of either
will lead to a shortened life.Trane encourages the employment of a qualified water treatment
specialist, familiar with local water conditions, to assist in the establishment of a proper water
treatment program.
Foreign matter in the chilled water system can also increase pressure drop and, consequently,
reduce water flow.
For this reason it is important to thoroughly flush all water piping to the unit before making the final
piping connections to the unit.
The capacities given in the Performance Data section of this catalog are based on water with a
fouling factor of 0.0001°F·ft²·h/Btu (in accordance with AHRI 550/590). For capacities at other fouling
factors, see Performance Selection Software.

Effect of Altitude on Capacity


At elevations substantially above sea level, the decreased air density will decrease condenser
capacity and, therefore, unit capacity and efficiency.

Ambient Limitations
Trane chillers are designed for year-round operation over a range of ambient temperatures.The air-
cooled model RTAE chiller will operate in ambient temperatures of:
• Standard Ambient Range = 32 to 105°F (0 to 40.6°C)
• Low Ambient Range = 0 to 105°F (-17.7 to 40.6°C)
• High Ambient Range = 32 to 125°F (0 to 52°C)
• Wide Ambient Range = 0 to 125°F (-17.7 to 52°C)
The minimum ambient temperatures are based on still conditions (winds not exceeding five mph).
Greater wind speeds will result in a drop in head pressure, therefore increasing the minimum
starting and operating ambient temperature.The Adaptive Frequency™ microprocessor will
attempt to keep the chiller on-line when high or low ambient conditions exist, making every effort
to avoid nuisance trip-outs and provide the maximum allowable tonnage.

Water Flow Limits


The minimum water flow rates are given in the chapter “General Data,” p. 13 of this catalog.
Evaporator flow rates below the tabulated values will result in laminar flow causing freeze-up
problems, scaling, stratification and poor control.The maximum evaporator water flow rate is also
given. Flow rates exceeding those listed may result in very high pressure drop across the
evaporator and/or evaporator tube erosion.

Flow Rates Out of Range


Many process cooling jobs require flow rates that cannot be met with the minimum and maximum
published values within the RTAE evaporator. A simple piping change can alleviate this problem.

Application Considerations

For example: a plastic injection molding process requires 80 gpm (5.0 l/s) of 50°F (10°C) water and
returns that water at 60°F (15.6°C).The selected chiller can operate at these temperatures, but has
a minimum flow rate of 106 gpm (6.6 l/s).The system layout in Figure 1 can satisfy the process.

Flow Proving
Trane provides a factory-installed water flow switch monitored by UC800 which protects the chiller
from operating in loss of flow conditions.

Water Temperature
Leaving Water Temperature Limits
Trane RTAE chillers have three distinct leaving water categories:
• Standard, with a leaving solution range of 40 to 68°F (4.4 to 20°C)
• Low temperature process cooling, with leaving solution less than 40°F (4.4°C)
• Ice-making, with a leaving solution range of 20 to 68°F (-6.7 to 20°C)
Since leaving solution temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C) result in suction temperature at or below
the freezing point of water, a glycol solution is required for all low temperature and ice-making
machines. Ice making control includes dual setpoints and safeties for ice making and standard
cooling capabilities. Consult your localTrane account manager for applications or selections
involving low temperature or ice making machines.
The maximum water temperature that can be circulated through the RTAE evaporator when the
unit is not operating is 125°F (52°C). Evaporator damage may result above this temperature.

Leaving Water Temperature Out of Range


Many process cooling jobs require temperature ranges that are outside the allowable minimum
and maximum operating values for the chiller. Figure 2 below shows a simple example of a mixed
water piping arrangement change that can permit reliable chiller operation while meeting such
cooling conditions. For example, a laboratory load requires 238 gpm (15 l/s) of water entering the
process at 86°F (30°C) and returning at 95°F (35°C).The chiller’s maximum leaving chilled water
temperature of 68°F (20°C) prevents direct supply to the load. In the example shown, both the chiller
and process flow rates are equal, however, this is not necessary. For example, if the chiller had a
higher flow rate, there would simply be more water bypassing and mixing with warm water
returning to the chiller.

Typical Water Piping


All building water piping must be flushed prior to making final connections to the chiller.To reduce
heat loss and prevent condensation, insulation should be applied. Expansion tanks are also usually
required so that chilled water volume changes can be accommodated.

Avoidance of Short Water Loops


Adequate chilled water system water volume is an important system design parameter because it
provides for stable chilled water temperature control and helps limit unacceptable short cycling of
chiller compressors.
The chiller’s temperature control sensor is located in the waterbox.This location allows the
building to act as a buffer to slow the rate of change of the system water temperature. If there is
not a sufficient volume of water in the system to provide an adequate buffer, temperature control
can suffer, resulting in erratic system operation and excessive compressor cycling.
Typically, a two-minute water loop circulation time is sufficient to prevent short water loop issues.
Therefore, as a guideline, ensure the volume of water in the chilled water loop equals or exceeds
two times the evaporator flow rate. For systems with a rapidly changing load profile the amount
of volume should be increased.
If the installed system volume does not meet the above recommendations, the following items
should be given careful consideration to increase the volume of water in the system and, therefore,
reduce the rate of change of the return water temperature.
• A volume buffer tank located in the return water piping.
• Larger system supply and return header piping (which also reduces system pressure drop and
pump energy use).
Minimum water volume for a process application
If a chiller is attached to an on/off load such as a process load, it may be difficult for the controller
to respond quickly enough to the very rapid change in return solution temperature if the system
has only the minimum water volume recommended. Such systems may cause chiller low
temperature safety trips or in the extreme case evaporator freezing. In this case, it may be
necessary to add or increase the size of the mixing tank in the return line.

Application Considerations

Multiple Unit Operation


Whenever two or more units are used on one chilled water loop,Trane recommends that their
operation be coordinated with a higher level system controller for optimum system efficiency and
reliability.TheTraneTracer system has advanced chilled plant control capabilities designed to
provide such operation.

Ice Storage Operation


An ice storage system uses the chiller to make ice at night when utilities generate electricity more
efficiently with lower demand and energy charges.The stored ice reduces or even replaces
mechanical cooling during the day when utility rates are at their highest.This reduced need for
cooling results in significant utility cost savings and source energy savings.
Another advantage of an ice storage system is its ability to eliminate chiller over sizing. A
“rightsized” chiller plant with ice storage operates more efficiently with smaller support equipment
while lowering the connected load and reducing operating costs. Best of all this system still
provides a capacity safety factor and redundancy by building it into the ice storage capacity for
practically no cost compared to over sized systems.
TheTrane air-cooled chiller is uniquely suited to low temperature applications like ice storage
because of the ambient relief experienced at night. Chiller ice making efficiencies are typically
similar to or even better than standard cooling daytime efficiencies as a result of night-time dry-
bulb ambient relief.
Standard smart control strategies for ice storage systems are another advantage of the RTAE
chiller.The dual mode control functionality is integrated right into the chiller.TraneTracer building
management systems can measure demand and receive pricing signals from the utility and decide
when to use the stored cooling and when to use the chiller.

Unit Placement
Setting The Unit
A base or foundation is not required if the selected unit location is level and strong enough to
support the unit’s operating weight. (See “Weights,” p. 30.)
For a detailed discussion of base and foundation construction, see the sound engineering bulletin
or the unit IOM. Manuals are available through online product portal pages or from your local
office.
HVAC equipment must be located to minimize sound and vibration transmission to the occupied
spaces of the building structure it serves. If the equipment must be located in close proximity to
a building, it should be placed next to an unoccupied space such as a storage room, mechanical
room, etc. It is not recommended to locate the equipment near occupied, sound sensitive areas of
the building or near windows. Locating the equipment away from structures will also prevent
sound reflection, which can increase sound levels at property lines or other sensitive points.

Isolation and Sound Emission


Structurally transmitted sound can be reduced by elastomeric vibration eliminators. Elastomeric
isolators are generally effective in reducing vibratory noise generated by compressors, and
therefore, are recommended for sound sensitive installations. An acoustical engineer should
always be consulted on critical applications.

For maximum isolation effect, water lines and electrical conduit should also be isolated. Wall
sleeves and rubber isolated piping hangers can be used to reduce sound transmitted through water
piping.To reduce the sound transmitted through electrical conduit, use flexible electrical conduit.
Local codes on sound emissions should always be considered. Since the environment in which a
sound source is located affects sound pressure, unit placement must be carefully evaluated. Sound
power levels for chillers are available on request.

Servicing
Adequate clearance for evaporator, condenser and compressor servicing should be provided.
Recommended minimum space envelopes for servicing are located in the dimensional data
section and can serve as a guideline for providing adequate clearance.The minimum space
envelopes also allow for control panel door swing and routine maintenance requirements. Local
code requirements may take precedence.

Unit Location
General
Unobstructed flow of condenser air is essential to maintain chiller capacity and operating
efficiency. When determining unit placement, careful consideration must be given to assure a
sufficient flow of air across the condenser heat transfer surface.Two detrimental conditions are
possible and must be avoided: warm air recirculation and coil starvation. Air recirculation occurs
when discharge air from the condenser fans is recycled back to the condenser coil inlet. Coil
starvation occurs when free airflow to the condenser is restricted.
Condenser coils and fan discharge must be kept free of snow or other obstructions to permit
adequate airflow for satisfactory unit operation. Debris, trash, supplies, etc., should not be allowed
to accumulate in the vicinity of the air-cooled chiller. Supply air movement may draw debris into
the condenser coil, blocking spaces between coil fins and causing coil starvation.
Both warm air recirculation and coil starvation cause reductions in unit efficiency and capacity due
to higher head pressures.The air-cooled RTAE chiller offers an advantage over competitive
equipment in these situations. Operation is minimally affected in many restricted air flow situations
due to its advanced Adaptive Control™ microprocessor which has the ability to understand the
operating environment of the chiller and adapt to it by first optimizing its performance and then
staying on line through abnormal conditions. For example, high ambient temperatures combined
with a restricted air flow situation will generally not cause the air-cooled model RTAE chiller to shut
down. Other chillers would typically shut down on a high pressure nuisance cut-out in these
conditions.
Cross winds, those perpendicular to the condenser, tend to aid efficient operation in warmer
ambient conditions. However, they tend to be detrimental to operation in lower ambients due to
the accompanying loss of adequate head pressure. Special consideration should be given to low

10 RLC-PRC042C-EN
Application Considerations

ambient units. As a result, it is advisable to protect air-cooled chillers from continuous direct winds
exceeding 10 mph (4.5 m/s) in low ambient conditions.
The recommended lateral clearances are depicted in the Close-Spacing and Restricted Airflow
Engineering Bulletin RLC-PRB037*-EN available on product portal pages or from your local office.

Provide Sufficient Unit-to-Unit Clearance


Units should be separated from each other by sufficient distance to prevent warm air recirculation
or coil starvation. Doubling the recommended single unit air-cooled chiller clearances will
generally prove to be adequate. See Close-Spacing and Restricted Airflow Engineering Bulletin
RLC-PRB037*-EN for more information.

Walled Enclosure Installations


When the unit is placed in an enclosure or small depression, the top of the surrounding walls
should be no higher than the top of the fans.The chiller should be completely open above the fan
deck.There should be no roof or structure covering the top of the chiller. Ducting individual fans
is not recommended. See Close-Spacing and Restricted Airflow Engineering Bulletin RLC-
PRB037*-EN for more information.

Tracer UC800 Controller
Today’s Stealth™ chillers offer predictive controls that anticipate and compensate for load changes.
Other control strategies made possible with theTracer UC800 controls are:

Feedforward Adaptive Control


Feedforward is an open-loop, predictive control strategy designed to anticipate and compensate
for load changes. It uses evaporator entering-water temperature as an indication of load change.
This allows the controller to respond faster and maintain stable leaving-water temperatures.

Soft Loading
The chiller controller uses soft loading except during manual operation. Large adjustments due to
load or setpoint changes are made gradually, preventing the compressor from cycling
unnecessarily. It does this by internally filtering the setpoints to avoid reaching the differential-to-
stop or the demand limit. Soft loading applies to the leaving chilled-water temperature and demand
limit setpoints.

Adaptive Controls
There are many objectives that the controller must meet, but it cannot satisfy more than one
objective at a time.Typically, the controllers primary objective is to maintain the evaporator leaving
water temperature.
Whenever the controller senses that it can no longer meet its primary objective without triggering
a protective shutdown, it focuses on the most critical secondary objective. When the secondary
objective is no longer critical, the controller reverts to its primary objective.

Rapid Restart
The controller allows the Stealth chiller to perform a Rapid Restart. A Rapid Restart is performed
after a momentary power loss occurs during operation. Similarly, if the chiller shuts down on a
non-latching diagnostic and the diagnostic later clears itself, a Rapid Restart will be initiated.

AdaptiSpeed Control
Compressor speed is used to control capacity of the chiller, optimizing mathematically with the
condenser fan speed to provide the highest level of performance.The increased performance of
the UC800 Controller allows the chiller to operate longer at higher efficiency, and with greater
stability.

Variable-Primary Flow (VPF)


Chilled-water systems that vary the water flow through chiller evaporators have caught the
attention of engineers, contractors, building owners, and operators. Varying the water flow
reduces the energy consumed by pumps, while having limited affect on the chiller energy
consumption.This strategy can be a significant source of energy savings, depending on the
application.

Tracer TU Interface
Tracer™TU (non-Trane personnel, contact your localTrane office for software) adds a level of
sophistication that improves service technician effectiveness and minimizes chiller downtime.The
Tracer AdaptiView™ control’s operator interface is intended to serve only typical daily tasks.The
portable PC-based service-tool software,TracerTU, supports service and maintenance tasks.
TracerTU serves as a common interface to allTrane® chillers, and will customize itself based on
the properties of the chiller with which it is communicating.Thus, the service technician learns only
one service interface.
The panel bus is easy to troubleshoot using LED sensor verification. Only the defective device is
replaced.TracerTU can communicate with individual devices or groups of devices.
All chiller status, machine configuration settings, customizable limits, and up to 100 active or
historic diagnostics are displayed through the service-tool software interface.
LEDs and their respectiveTracerTU indicators visually confirm the availability of each connected
sensor, relay, and actuator.
TracerTU is designed to run on a customer’s laptop, connected to theTracer AdaptiView control
panel with a USB cable.Your laptop must meet the following hardware and software requirements:
• 1 GB RAM (minimum)
• 1024 x 768 screen resolution
• CD-ROM drive
• Ethernet 10/100 LAN card
• An available USB 2.0 port
• Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional operation system with Service Pack 3 (SP3) or
Windows 7 Enterprise or Professional operating system (32-bit or 64-bit)
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or later
Note: TracerTU is designed and validated for this minimum laptop configuration. Any variation
from this configuration may have different results.Therefore, support forTracerTU is
limited to only those laptops with the configuration previously specified.

System Integration
Stand-Alone Controls
Single chillers installed in applications without a building management system are simple to install
and control: only a remote auto/stop for scheduling is required for unit operation. Signals from the
chilled-water pump contactor auxiliary, or a flow switch, are wired to the chilled-water flow
interlock. Signals from a time clock or some other remote device are wired to the external auto/stop
input.
• Auto/Stop - A job-site provided contact closure turns the unit on and off.
• Emergency Stop - A job-site provided contact opening wired to this input turns the unit off and
requires a manual reset of the unit microcomputer.This closure is typically triggered by a job-
site provided system such as a fire alarm.

Hardwire Points
Microcomputer controls allow simple interface with other control systems, such as time clocks,
building automation systems, and ice storage systems via hardwire points.This means you have
the flexibility to meet job requirements while not having to learn a complicated control system.
Remote devices are wired from the control panel to provide 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.
This setup has the same features as a stand-alone water chiller, with the possibility of having
additional optional features:
• Ice making control
• External chilled water setpoint, external demand limit setpoint
• Chilled water temperature reset
• Programmable relays - available outputs are: alarm-latching, alarm-auto reset, general
alarm, warning, chiller limit mode, compressor running, andTracer control.

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.TheTrane 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.

Tracer SC
TheTracer SC ™system controller acts as the central coordinator for all individual equipment
devices on aTracer building automation system.TheTracer 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 ofTrane’s HVAC and controls
experience are applied to offer solutions to many facility issues.The LAN allows building operators
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).

Building Automation and Chiller Plant Control


The UC800 controller can communicate withTraneTracer SC andTracer ES building automation
systems, which include pre-engineered and flexible control for chiller plants.These building
automation systems can control the operation of the complete installation: chillers, pumps,
isolating valves, air handlers, and terminal units.Trane can undertake full responsibility for
optimized automation and energy management for the entire chiller plant.The main functions are:
• Chiller sequencing: equalizes the number of running hours of the chillers. Different
control strategies are available depending on the configuration of the installation.
• Control of the auxiliaries: includes input/output modules to control the operation of the
various auxiliary equipment (water pumps, valves, etc.)
• Time-of-day scheduling: allows the end user to define the occupancy period, for example:
time of the day, holiday periods and exception schedules.
• Optimization of the installation start/stop time: based on the programmed schedule
of occupancy and the historical temperature records.Tracer SC calculates the optimal start/
stop time of the installation to get the best compromise between energy savings and
comfort of the occupants.
• Soft loading: the soft loading function minimizes the number of chillers that are operated
to satisfy a large chilled-water-loop pull down, thus preventing an overshoot of the actual
capacity required. Unnecessary starts are avoided and the peak current demand is lowered.
• Communication capabilities: local, through a PC workstation keyboard.Tracer SC can be
programmed to send messages to other local or remote workstations and or a pager in the
following cases:
• Analog parameter exceeding a programmed value
• Maintenance warning
• Component failure alarm
• Critical alarm messages. In this latter case, the message is displayed until the operator
acknowledges the receipt of the information. From the remote station it is also possible
to access and modify the chiller plants control parameters.
• Remote communication through a modem: as an option, a modem can be connected
to communicate the plant operation parameters through voice grade phone lines.

Controls

A remote terminal is a PC workstation equipped with a modem and software to display the remote
plant parameters.

Integrated Comfort System (ICS)


The onboardTracer chiller controller is designed to be able to communicate with a wide range of
building automation systems. In order to take full advantage of chiller’s capabilities, incorporate
your chiller into aTracer SC building automation system.
But the benefits do not stop at the chiller plant. AtTrane, we realize that all the energy used in your
cooling system is important.That is why we worked closely with other equipment manufacturers
to predict the energy required by the entire system. We used this information to create patented
control logic for optimizing HVAC system efficiency.
The building owners challenge is to tie components and applications expertise into a single reliable
system that provides maximum comfort, control, and efficiency.Trane Integrated Comfort systems
(ICS) are a concept that combines system components, controls, and engineering applications
expertise into a single, logical, and efficient system.These advanced controls are fully
commissioned and available on every piece ofTrane® equipment, from the largest chiller to the
smallest VAV box. As a manufacturer, onlyTrane offers this universe of equipment, controls, and
factory installation and verification.

heaters with thermostat are provided to help protect the evaporator from freezing at ambient
temperatures down to -20°F (-29°C). A factory installed flow switch is installed on the supply water
box in the evaporator inlet connection.

Condenser and Fans


Air-cooled condenser coils have aluminum fins mechanically bonded to internally finned seamless
aluminum tubing.The tubing is a long life alloy designed to deliver corrosion performance that
meets or exceeds microchannel coils.The condenser coil has an integral subcooling circuit.
Condensers are factory proof tested at 525 psig and leak tested with helium in a mass spectrometer
chamber at 150 psig. All tube connections are mechanical except the brazed copper to aluminum
inlet and outlet connections.The copper to aluminum connections are protected against galvanic
corrosion. Corrosion resistant coil coating is available if the installation site is near the ocean or in
an otherwise corrosive environment. See “Options,” p. 42.
Condenser fans are direct-drive vertical discharge.The condenser fan motors are permanent
magnet motors with integrated drive to provide variable speed fan control for all fans and are
designed with permanently lubricated ball bearings, internal temperature and current overload
protection, and customer fault feedback as a standard product offering. The fan impeller is a nine
bladed-shrouded fan made from heavy-duty molded plastic.

Unit Controls
All unit controls are housed in an outdoor rated weather tight enclosure with removable plates to
allow for customer connection of power wiring and remote interlocks. 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, condenser fan sequencing and speed control, anti-recycle logic, automatic lead/lag
compressor starting and load limiting.
TheTracer ™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

Mechanical Specifications

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 colorTracer 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 and fan 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.The color display is fully outdoor
rated, and, can be viewed in full daylight without opening any control panel doors.
Standard power connections include main three phase power to the compressors, condenser fans
and control power transformer and optional connections are available for the 115 volt/60 Hz single
phase power for the thermostatically controlled evaporator heaters for freeze protection.

Adaptive Frequency Drive


All RTAE chillers utilizeTrane’s Adaptive Frequency™ Drive, 3rd Generation (AFD3) technology for
controlling the compressors. AFD3 is a family of new generation adaptive frequency drives
specifically designed forTrane water chillers. AFD3 incorporates theTrane communication protocol
enabling seamless integration with the unit controller. AFD3 data such as drive status,
temperatures, modes and diagnostic information are accessible to the unit controller and through
theTracerTU service tool.
AFD3 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. AFD3 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.
AFD3 incorporates improved serviceability and troubleshooting tools to identify the issue quickly
and get the chiller back up and running. All AFD3 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 standardTrane screw
driver. The AFD3 further incorporates anotherTrane service tool to allow for firmware upgrades
throughTracerTU.

Chilled Water Reset


This provides the control logic and factory installed sensors to reset leaving chilled water
temperature.The set point can be reset based on ambient temperature or return evaporator water
temperature.

Factory Mounted Flow Proving and Flow Control


The factory installed evaporator water flow switch is provided with the control logic and relays to
turn the chilled water flow on and off as the chiller requires for operation and protection.This
function is a requirement on the Air-Cooled Series R Chiller.

drives to permit high ambient (up to 125°F [51°C]) operation. Low side ambient remains 32°F (0°C).
Wide Ambient Option
The low and wide ambient option combines the features of low and high ambient options for an
ambient range of 0 to 125°F (-17.7. to 51°C).

Electrical Options
Circuit Breaker
AHACR rated molded case capacity circuit breaker (UL approved) is available. Circuit breaker can
also be used to disconnect chiller from main power with a through-the-door handle. It comes pre-
wired from factory with terminal block power connections. External operator handle is lockable.

Harmonic Attenuation
Harmonic attenuation to comply with IEEE519 is available. It is important to recognize that IEEE 519
as a guideline relates to the entire system, not specifically to any one load or product. IEEE 519
establishes requirements at the point of common coupling (PCC) where the building connects to
the utility system.The standard contains no specific requirements for the internal electrical loads.
Even thoughTrane AFD-equipped chillers will attenuate their own harmonics, other nonlinear
loads on the same system could still create harmonic problems. In buildings where harmonics
might be a concern,Trane recommends conducting a power-distribution system analysis to
determine if there is a need to further attenuate harmonics at the system level.
