Cooling Cycle

CVHE, CVHG, CVHFWhen in the cooling mode, liquidrefrigerant is distributed along thelength of the evaporator and sprayedthrough small holes in a distributor(i.e., running the entire length of theshell) to uniformly coat eachevaporator tube. Here, the liquidrefrigerant absorbs enough heat fromthe system water circulating throughthe evaporator tubes to vaporize.

The gaseous refrigerant is thendrawn through the eliminators(which remove droplets of liquidrefrigerant from the gas) and first-stage variable inlet guide vanes, andinto the first stage impeller.

Note: Inlet guide vanes are designedto modulate the flow of gaseousrefrigerant to meet system capacityrequirements; they also prerotate thegas, allowing it to enter the impellerat an optimal angle that maximizesefficiency at all load conditions.

CVHE, CVHG CompressorCompressed gas from the first-stageimpeller flows through the fixed,second-stage inlet vanes and into thesecond-stage impeller.

Here, the refrigerant gas is againcompressed, and then dischargedthrough the third-stage variable guidevanes and into the third stageimpeller.

Once the gas is compressed a thirdtime, it is discharged into the

condenser. Baffles within thecondenser shell distribute thecompressed refrigerant gas evenlyacross the condenser tube bundle.Cooling tower water circulatedthrough the condenser tubes absorbsheat from the refrigerant, causing it tocondense. The liquid refrigerant thenpasses through orifice plate ‘‘A’’ andinto the economizer.

The economizer reduces the energyrequirements of the refrigerant cycleby eliminating the need to pass allgaseous refrigerant through threestages of compression. See Figure 3.Notice that some of the liquidrefrigerant flashes to a gas becauseof the pressure drop created by theorifice plates, thus further cooling theliquid refrigerant. This flash gas isthen drawn directly from the first(Chamber A) and second (ChamberB) stages of the economizer into thethird-and second-stage impellers ofthe compressor, respectively.

All remaining liquid refrigerant flowsthrough another orifice plate ‘‘C’’ tothe evaporator.

CVHF Compressor

Compressed gas from the first-stageimpeller is discharged through thesecond-stage variable guide vanesand into the second-stage impeller.Here, the refrigerant gas is againcompressed, and then dischargedinto the condenser.

Baffles within the condenser shelldistribute the compressed refrigerantgas evenly across the condensertube bundle. Cooling tower water,circulated through the condensertubes, absorbs heat from therefrigerant, causing it to condense.The liquid refrigerant then flows outof the bottom of the condenser,passing through an orifice plate andinto the economizer.

The economizer reduces the energyrequirements of the refrigerant cycleby eliminating the need to pass allgaseous refrigerant through bothstages of compression. See Figure 6.Notice that some of the liquidrefrigerant flashes to a gas becauseof the pressure drop created by theorifice plate, thus further cooling theliquid refrigerant. This flash gas isthen drawn directly from theeconomizer into the second-stageimpellers of the compressor.

All remaining liquid refrigerant flowsout of the economizer, passesthrough another orifice plate and intothe evaporator.

Oil and Refrigeration Pump

Compressor Lubrication System -A schematic diagram of thecompressor lubrication system isillustrated in Figure 12.

Oil is pumped from the oil tank (by apump and motor located within thetank) through an oil pressure-regulating valve designed to maintaina net oil pressure of 18 to 22 psid. Itis then filtered and sent to the oilcooler located in the economizer andon to the bearings. From thebearings, the oil drains back to themanifold under the motor and thenon to the oil tank.

CAUTION

Surface Temperatures!

MAY EXCEED 150°F. Use cautionwhile working on certain areas ofthe unit, failure to do so may resultin minor or moderate injury.

To ensure proper lubrication andprevent refrigerant from condensingin the oil tank, a 750-watt heater isimmersed in the oil tank and is usedto warm the oil while the unit is off.When the unit starts, the oil heater isde-energized. This heater energizesas needed to maintain 140° to 145° F(60-63°C) when the chiller is notrunning.

When the chiller is operating, thetemperature of the oil tank is typically115° to 160°F (46-72°C). The oil returnlines from the thrust and journalbearings, transport oil and some sealleakage refrigerant. The oil returnlines are routed into a manifoldunder the motor. Gas flow exits thetop of the manifold and is vented tothe Evaporator. A vent line solenoidis not needed with the refrigerantpump. Oil exits the bottom of themanifold and returns to the tank.Separation of the seal leakage gas inthe manifold keeps this gas out of thetank.

A dual eductor system is used toreclaim oil from the suction coverand the evaporator, and deposit itback into the oil tank. These eductorsuse high pressure condenser gas todraw the oil from the suction coverand evaporator to the eductors andthen discharged into the oil tank. Theevaporator eductor line has a shut offvalve mounted by the evaporator andships closed. Open two turns ifnecessary.

Liquid refrigerant is used to cool theoil supply to both the thrust bearingand journal bearings. On refrigerantpump units the oil cooler is locatedinside the economizer and usesrefrigerant passing from thecondenser to evaporator to cool theoil. Oil leaves the oil cooler andflows to both the thrust and journalbearings.

Motor Cooling SystemCompressor motors are cooled withliquid refrigerant, see Figure 12.

The refrigerant pump is located onthe front of the oil tank (motor insidethe oil tank). The refrigerant pumpinlet is connected to the well at thebottom of the condenser. Theconnection is on the side where aweir assures a preferential supply ofliquid. Refrigerant is delivered to themotor via the pump. Motorrefrigerant drain lines are routed tothe condenser.

Base Loading ControlAlgorithm:This feature allows an externalcontroller to directly modulate thecapacity of the chiller. It is typicallyused in applications where virtuallyinfinite sources of evaporator loadand condenser capacity are availableand it is desirable to control theloading of the chiller. Two examplesare industrial process applicationsand cogeneration plants. Industrialprocess applications might use thisfeature to impose a specific load onthe facility’s elecrical system.Cogeneration plants might use thisfeature to balance the system’sheating, cooling and electricalgeneration.

All chiller safeties and adaptivecontrol functions are in full effectwhen Base Loading control isenabled. If the chiller approaches fullcurrent, the evaporator temperaturedrops too low, or the condenserpressure rises too high, Tracer CH530Adaptive Control logic limits theloading of the chiller to prevent thechiller from shutting down on asafety limit. These limits may preventthe chiller from reaching the loadrequested by the Base Loadingsignal.

Base Loading Control is basically avariation of the current limitalgorithm. During base loading, theleaving water control algorithmprovides a load command every 5seconds. The current limit routinemay limit the loading when thecurrent is below setpoint. When thecurrent is within the deadband of thesetpoint the current limit algorithmholds against this loading command.

If the current exceeds the setpoint,the current limit algorithm unloads.The “Capacity Limited By HighCurrent” message normallydisplayed while the current limitroutine is active is suppressed whilebase loading.

Base loading can occur via Tracer,External signal, or front panel.

Tracer Base Loading:Current Setpoint Range:(20 - 100) percent RLARequires Tracer and Optional TracerCommunications Module (LLID)

The Tracer commands the chiller toenter the base load mode by sendingthe base load mode request. If thechiller is not running, it will startregardless of the differential to start(either chilled water or hot water). Ifthe chiller is already running, it willcontinue to run regardless of thedifferential to stop (either chilledwater or hot water), using the baseload control algorithm. While the unitis running in base loading, it willreport that status back to the Tracerby setting “Base Load Status = true”in the Tracer Status Byte. When theTracer removes the base load moderequest (sets the bit to 0). The unitwill continue to run, using thenormal chilled or hot water controlalgorithm, and will turn off, onlywhen the differential to stop has beensatisfied.

External Base Loading:Current Setpoint Range:(20 - 100) percent RLA

The UCP accepts 2 inputs to workwith external base loading. Thebinary input is at 1A18 Terminals J2-1and J2-2 (Ground) which acts as aswitch closure input to enter thebase-loading mode. The second

input, an analog input, is at 1A17terminals J2 – 1 and 3 (Ground)which sets the external base loadingsetpoint, and can be controlled byeither a 2-10Vdc or 4-20ma Signal. Atstartup the input type is configured.The graphs in Figure 13 show therelationship between input andpercent RLA. While in base loadingthe active current limit setpoint is setto the Tracer or external base loadsetpoint, providing that the base loadsetpoint is not equal to 0 (or out ofrange). If it is out of range, the frontpanel current limit setpoint is used.During base loading, all limits areenforced with the exception ofcurrent limit. The human interfacedisplays the message “Unit isRunning Base Loaded”. Hot GasBypass is not run during baseloading. If base loading and icemaking are commandedsimultaneously, ice making takesprecedence.

An alternative and less radicalapproach to Base Loading indirectlycontrols chiller capacity. Artificallyload the chiller by setting the chilledwater setpoint lower than it iscapable of achieving. Then, modifythe chiller’s load by adjusting thecurrent limit setpoint. This methodprovides greater safety and controlstability in the operation of the chillerbecause it has the advantage ofleaving the chilled water temperaturecontrol logic in effect. The chilledwater temperature control logicresponds quicker to dramatic systemchanges, and can limit the chillerloading prior to reaching an AdaptiveControl limit point.

Ice Machine ControlThe control panel provides a servicelevel “Enable or Disable” menu entryfor the Ice Building feature when theIce Building option is installed. IceBuilding can be entered 1) from the“Front Panel”, 2) if hardware isspecified, will accept either anisolated contact closure (1A19Terminals J2-1 and J2-2 (Ground) ) 3),a remote communicated input(Tracer) to initiate the ice buildingmode where the unit runs fullyloaded at all times. Ice building willbe terminated either by opening thecontact or based on enteringevaporator fluid temperature. UCPwill not permit the Ice Building modeto be entered again until the unit isswitched to the Non-ice buildingmode and back into the ice buildingmode. It is not acceptable to reset thechilled water setpoint low to achievea fully loaded compressor. Whenentering ice-building the compressorwill be loaded at its maximum rateand when leaving ice building thecompressor will be unloaded at itsmaximum rate. While loading andunloading the compressor, all surgedetection will be ignored. While inthe ice building mode, current limitsetpoints less than the maximum willbe ignored. Ice Building can beterminated by one of the followingmeans:1. Front Panel Disable, or2. Opening the external Ice. Contacts/

GeneralInformation

Free Cooling CycleBased on the principle that refrigerantmigrates to the coldest area in thesystem, the free cooling optionadapts the basic chiller to function asa simple heat exchanger. However, itdoes not provide control of theleaving chilled water temperature.

If condenser water is available at atemperature lower than the requiredleaving chilled water temperature, theoperator interface must remain in“AUTO” and the operator starts thefree cooling cycle by enabling theFree cooling mode in the“DynaView™ Feature Settings” groupof the operator interface, or by meansof a Tracer request.

Several components must be factory-installed or field-installed to equip theunit for free cooling operation:— a refrigerant gas line, and

electrically-actuated shutoff valve,between the evaporator andcondenser;

— a valve liquid return line, andelectrically-actuated shutoff valve,between the condenser sump andthe evaporator;

— a liquid refrigerant storage vessel(larger economizer); and,

— additional refrigerant.

When the chiller is changed over tothe free cooling mode, thecompressor will shut down ifrunning, the shutoff valves in theliquid and gas lines open; unitcontrol logic prevents thecompressor from energizing duringfree cooling. Liquid refrigerant thendrains (by gravity) from the storagetank into the evaporator and floodsthe tube bundle. Since thetemperature and pressure of therefrigerant in the evaporator arehigher than in the condenser (i.e.,because of the difference in watertemperature), the refrigerant in theevaporator vaporizes and travels tothe condenser. Cooling tower watercauses the refrigerant to condense,and it flows (again, by gravity) backto the evaporator.

This compulsory refrigerant cycle issustained as long as a temperaturedifferential exists between condenserand evaporator water. The actualcooling capacity provided by the freecooling cycle is determined by thedifference between thesetemperatures which, in turn,determines the rate of refrigerant flowbetween the evaporator andcondenser shells.

If the system load exceeds theavailable free cooling capacity, theoperator must manually initiatechangeover to the mechanicalcooling mode by disabling the freecooling mode of operation. The gasand liquid line valves then close andcompressor operation begins. (SeeFigure 8 beginning at “Auto” mode.)Refrigerant gas is drawn out of theevaporator by the compressor, where

CVHE-SVU01E-EN22

GeneralInformation

it is then compressed anddischarged to the condenser. Most ofthe condensed refrigerant initiallyfollows the path of least resistance byflowing into the storage tank. Thistank is vented to the economizersump through a small bleed line;when the storage tank is full, liquidrefrigerant must flow through thebleed line restriction. Because thepressure drop through the bleed lineis greater than that of the orifice flowcontrol device, the liquid refrigerantflows normally from the condenserthrough the orifice system and intothe economizer.

Free Cooling FRCLTo enable Free Cooling Mode:1. Free Cooling must first be installed

and commissioned.2. Enable the Free Cooling mode in

the DynaView™ Settings Menu3. Press “AUTO”, and if used, close

the external binary input switch(connected to 1A20 J2- 1 to 2) whilethe chiller is in “AUTO”.

Free Cooling cannot be entered if thechiller is in “STOP”.

If the chiller is in “AUTO” and notrunning, the condenser water pumpwill start. After condenser water flowis proven, Relay Module 1A11 willenergize operating the Free CoolingValves 4B12 and 4B13. The FreeCooling Valves End Switches mustopen within 3 minutes, or an MMRdiagnostic will be generated. Oncethe Free Cooling Valves EndSwitches open, the unit is in the FreeCooling mode. If the chiller is in“AUTO” and running poweredcooling, the chiller will do a friendlyshut down first, (Run: Unload, PostLube, and drive vanes closed). Afterthe vanes have been overdriven,closed and condenser water proven,the Free Cooling relays will be

energized. To disable Free Coolingand return to Powered Cooling, eitherdisable the Free Cooling Mode in theDynaView™ settings menu if used toenable Free Cooling or “OPEN” theexternal binary input switch to the1A20 Module if it was used to enableFree Cooling. Once Free Cooling isdisabled, the Free Cooling relaysRelay Module 1A11 will de-energizeallowing the Free Cooling valves toclose. The Free Cooling valves endswitches must close within 3minutes or an MMR diagnostic isgenerated. Once the end switchesclose the chiller will return to“AUTO” and powered cooling willresume if there is a call for coolingbased on the differential to start.

Note: The manual control of the inletguide vanes is disabled while in theFree Cooling Mode and thecompressor is prevented fromstarting by the control logic.

Note: The relay at 1A11-J-2-4 to 6 is aFC auxiliary relay and can be used asrequired.

GeneralInformation

Hot Gas BypassThe hot gas bypass (HGBP) controloption is designed to minimizemachine cycling by allowing thechiller to operate stably underminimum load conditions. In thesesituations, the inlet guide vanes are“locked” at a preset minimumposition, and unit capacity isgoverned by the HGBP valve actuator.Control circuitry is designed to allowboth the inlet guide vanes and theHGBP valve to close for unitshutdown.

After a chiller starts and is runningthe inlet guide vanes will passthrough the HGBP Cut-In-Vaneposition as the chiller starts to load.As the chiller catches the load andstarts to unload, the inlet guide vaneswill close to the HGBP Cut-In Vaneposition. At this point the movementof the inlet guide vanes is frozen andfurther unloading of the chiller iscontrolled by the opening of theHGBP Valve 4M5 and modulemodulates the HGBP valve at lowloads. When the control algorithmdetermines the chiller to be shutdown, the inlet guide vanes will bedriven fully closed, and the HGBP

valve will be driven closed. After theinlet guide vanes are fully closed thechiller will shut down in the Friendlymode. Chillers with HGBP have adischarge temperature sensor (4R16)monitoring the discharge gastemperature from the compressor. Ifthis temperature exceeds 200°F, thechiller will shut off on a MARdiagnostic. The chiller will resetautomatically when this temperaturedrops 50°F below the trip-point.

HGBP is enabled in the Featuresmenu settings Group of the DVMenus by enabling the option. Thesetting the HGBP Cut-In VanePosition is setup at unitcommissioning via the service tool.

CVHE-SVU01E-EN24

GeneralInformation

Hot Water controlOccasionally CTV chillers areselected to provide heating as aprimary mission. With hot watertemperature control, the chiller canbe used as a heating source orcooling source. This feature providesgreater application flexibility. In thiscase the operator selects a hot watertemperature and the chiller capacityis modulated to maintain the hotwater setpoint. Heating is the primarymission and cooling is a wasteproduct or is a secondary mission.This type of operation requires anendless source of evaporator load(heat), such as well or lake water. Thechiller has only one condenser.

Note: Hot water temperature controlmode does not convert the chiller toa heat pump. Heat pump refers to thecapability to change from a cooling-driven application to a heating-drivenapplication by changing therefrigerant path on the chiller. This isimpractical for centrifugal chillers asit would be much easier to switchover the water side.

This is NOT heat recovery. Althoughthis feature could be used to recoverheat in some form, there is a secondheat exchanger on the condenserside.

The DynaView™ Main Processorprovides the hot water temperaturecontrol mode as standard. Theleaving condenser water temperatureis controlled to a hot water setpointbetween 80 and 140°F (26.7 to 60°C)The leaving evaporator watertemperature is left to drift to satisfythe heating load of the condenser. Inthis application the evaporator isnormally piped into a lake, well, orother source of constant temperaturewater for the purpose of extractingheat.

In hot water temperature controlmode all the limit modes anddiagnostics operate as in normalcooling with one exception; Theleaving condenser water temperaturesensor is an MMR diagnostic whenin hot water temperature controlmode. (It is an informational warningin the normal cooling mode.)

In the hot water temperature controlmode the differential-to-start anddifferential-to-stop setpoints are usedwith respect to the hot water setpointinstead of with the chilled watersetpoint.

UCP provides a separate entry at theDV to set the hot water setpoint.Tracer is also able to set the hotwater setpoint. In the hot water modethe external chilled water setpoint isthe external hot water setpoint; thatis, a single analog input is shared atthe 1A16 –J2-1 to J2-3 (ground)

An external binary input to selectexternal hot water control mode is onthe EXOP OPTIONAL module 1A18terminals J2-3 to J2-4 (ground). Traceralso has a binary input to selectchilled water control or hot watertemperature control.

There is no additional leaving hotwater temperature cutout; the HPCand condenser limit provide for hightemperature and pressure protection.

In hot water temperature control thesoftloading pulldown rate limitoperates as a softloading pullup ratelimit. The setpoint for setting thetemperature rate limit is the samesetpoint for normal cooling as it isfor hot water temperature control.

The hot water temperature controlfeature is not designed to run withHGBP, AFD, free cooling, or icemaking.

The factory set PID tuning values forthe leaving water temperature controlare the same settings for both normalcooling and hot water temperaturecontrol.

GeneralInformation

Heat Recovery Cycle‘‘Heat recovery’’ is designed tosalvage the heat that is normallyrejected to the atmosphere throughthe cooling tower, and put it tobeneficial use. For example, a high-rise office building may requiresimultaneous heating and coolingduring the winter months. With theaddition of a heat recovery cycle, heatremoved from the building coolingload can be transferred to areas of thebuilding that require heat. (Keep inmind that the heat recovery cycle isonly possible if a cooling load existsto act as a heat source.)

To provide a heat recovery cycle, aheat-recovery condenser is added tothe unit; see Figure 2. Thoughphysically identical to the standardcooling condenser, the heat-recoverycondenser is piped into a heat circuitrather than to the cooling tower.During the heat recovery cycle, theunit operates just as it does in the‘‘cooling only’’ mode except that thecooling load heat is rejected to theheating water circuit rather than tothe cooling tower water circuit. Whenhot water is required, the heatingwater circuit pumps energize. Watercirculated through the heat-recovery(or auxiliary) condenser tube bundleby the pumps absorbs cooling-loadfrom the compressed refrigerant gasdischarge by the compressor. Theheated water is then used to satisfyheating requirements.

Auxiliary CondensersUnlike the heat-recovery condenser(which is designed to satisfy comfortheating requirements), the auxiliarycondenser serves a preheat functiononly, and is used in thoseapplications where hot water isneeded for use in kitchens,lavatories, etc. While the operation ofthe auxiliary condenser is physicallyidentical to that of the heat-recoverycondenser, it is comparativelysmaller in size, and its heatingcapacity is not controlled.

Trane does not recommendoperating the auxiliary condenseralone because of its small size.

Tracer CH530 Chiller ControllerRevolutionary control of the chiller,chilled water system, and your entirebuilding with unprecedentedaccuracy, reliability, efficiency, andsupport for maintenance using thechiller’s PC-based service tool.Chiller reliability is all aboutproducing chilled water and keepingit flowing, even when facingconditions that ordinarily would shutdown the chiller — conditions thatoften happen when you need coolingthe most.

Tracer CH530’s Main Processor,DynaView™, is fast and keeps thechiller online whenever possible.Smart sensors collect three rounds ofdata per second, 55 times the datacollection speed of its predecessor.Each device (a sensor) has its ownmicroprocessor that simultaneouslyconverts and accurately calibrates itsown readings from analog to digital.

Because all devices arecommunicating digitally with theDynaView™ main processor, there isno need for the main processor toconvert each analog signal one at atime. This distributed logic allowsthe main processor to focus onresponding to changing conditions— in the load, the machine, itsancillary equipment, or its powersupply. Tracer CH530 constantlyreceives information about key dataparameters, temperatures and

current. Every five seconds then amultiple objective algorithmcompares each parameter to itsprogrammed limit. The chiller’sAdaptive Control™ capabilitiesmaintain overall system performanceby keeping its peak efficiency.Whenever the controller senses asituation that might trigger aprotective shutdown, it focuses onbringing the critical parameter backinto control. When the parameter isno longer critical, the controllerswitches its objective back tocontrolling the chilled watertemperature, or to another morecritical parameter should it exist.

Variable water flow through theevaporatorChilled-water systems that vary waterflow through chiller evaporators havecaught the attention of engineers,contractors, building owners, andoperators. Varying the water flowreduces the energy consumed bypumps, while requiring no extraenergy for the chiller. This strategycan be a significant source of energysavings, depending on theapplication. With its faster and moreintelligent response to changing

conditions, Tracer CH530 reliablyaccommodates variable evaporatorwater flow and its effect on thechilled water temperature. Theseimprovements keep chilled waterflowing at a temperature closer to itssetpoint.

User-defined language supportDynaView™ is capable of displayingEnglish text or one of the twoalternate languages that are stored inDynaView™ at one time. Switchinglanguages is simply accomplishedfrom a settings menu.

Similarly, TechView™ accommodatesa primary and a secondary languagefrom the same list of availablelanguages.

Figure 17. DynaView™ main processor

The DynaView™ (DV) OperatorInterface contains the “MainProcessor (MP)” and is mounted onthe unit control panel front doorwhere it communicates commandsto other modules, collecting data,status and diagnostic informationfrom the other modules over the IPC(Inter Processor Communications)link. The Main Processor (MP)software controls water flows bystarting pumps and sensing flowinputs, establishes a need to heat orcool, performs pre-lube, performingpost-lube, starts the compressor(s),performs water temperature control,establishes limits, and pre-positionsthe inlet guide-vanes.

The MP contains non-volatilememory both checking for valid setpoints and retaining them on anypower loss. System data frommodules (LLID) can be viewed at theDynaView™ operator interface. Suchas evaporator and condenser watertemperatures, outdoor airtemperature, evaporator andcondenser water pump control,status and alarm relays, externalauto-stop, emergency stop,evaporator and condenser waterpressure drops and evaporator andcondenser water flow switches.

DynaView™ presents three menutabs across the top which arelabeled “MAIN, REPORTS, andSETTINGS”.

The Main screen provides an overallhigh level chiller status so theoperator can quickly understand themode of operation of the chiller.

The Chiller Operating Mode willpresent a top level indication of thechiller mode (Auto, Running, Inhibit,Run Inhibit, etc.) The “additionalinfo” icon will present a subscreenthat lists in further detail thesubsystem modes. (See MachineOperating Modes.)

DynaView™ (DV) is the operatorinterface of the Tracer CH530 controlsystem utilized on the CTV machine.The DynaView™ enclosure is 9.75"wide, 8” high and 1.6” deep. TheDynaView™ display is approximately4” wide by 3” high. Features of thedisplay include a touch screen andlong life LED backlight. This device iscapable of operating in 0 - 95 percentrelative humidity (non-condensing),and is designed and tested with UVconsiderations consistent with anoutdoor application in directsunlight. The enclosure includes aweather tight connection means forthe RS232 service tool connection.

Touch screen key functions aredetermined completely in thesoftware and change dependingupon the subject matter currentlybeing displayed. The user operatesthe touch sensitive buttons bytouching the button of choice. Theselected button is darkened toindicate it is the selected choice. Theadvantage of touch sensitive buttonsis that the full range of possiblechoices as well as the current choiceis always in view.

Spin values (up or down) are agraphical user interface model usedto allow a continuously variablesetpoint, such as leaving watersetpoint to be changed. The valuechanges by touching the incrementor decrement arrows.

Action buttons are buttons thatappear temporarily and provide theoperator with a choice such as Enteror Cancel. The operator indicates hischoice by touching the button ofchoice. The system then takes theappropriate action and the buttontypically disappears.

DynaView™ consists of variousscreens, each meant to serve aunique purpose of the machine beingserved. Tabs are shown row acrossthe top of the display. The userselects a screen of information bytouching the appropriate tab. Thefolder that is selected will be broughtto the front so it’s contents arevisable

The main body of the screen is usedfor description text, data, setpoints,or keys (touch sensitive areas) Thedouble up arrows cause a page bypage scroll either up or down. Thesingle arrow causes a line by linescroll to occur. At the end of thescreen, the appropriate scroll buttonswill disappear. Wrap around will notoccur.

The bottom of the screen is thepersistent area. It is present in allscreens and performs the followingfunctions. The left circular area isused to reduce the contrast andviewing angle of the display. Theright circular area is used to increasethe contrast and viewing angle of thedisplay. The contrast control will belimited to avoid complete “light” orcomplete “dark”, which wouldpotentially confuse an unfamiliaruser to thinking the display wasmalfunctioning.

The Auto and Stop keys are used toput the unit into the auto or stopmodes. Key selection is indicated bybeing darkened (reverse video).

The Alarms button is to the right ofthe Stop key. The Alarms buttonappears only when alarm informationis present. The alarm blinks to drawattention to the shutdown diagnosticcondition. Blinking is defined asnormal versus reverse video.Pressing on the Alarms button takesyou to the corresponding screen.

Persistent keys, horizontal at thebottom of the display, are those keysthat must be available for operationregardless of the screen currentlybeing displayed. These keys arecritical for machine operation. TheAuto and Stop keys will bepresented as radio buttons within thepersistent key display area. The

selected key will be dark. The chillerwill stop when the Stop key istouched, entering the stop sequence.Pressing the “Immediate Stop”button will cause the chiller to stopright away.

The AUTO and STOP, takeprecedence over the ENTER andCANCEL keys. (While a setting isbeing changed, AUTO and STOPkeys are recognized even if ENTER orCANCEL has not been pressed.Selecting the Auto key will enable thechiller for active cooling ( if nodiagnostic is present.)

Chiller Stop Prevention/InhibitFeatureA new chiller “Stop prevention/inhibit” feature allows a user toprevent an inadvertent chiller stopfrom the DynaView screen for thosechillers which are solely controlledby the CH530.

IPC3 was designed to bevery efficient. It communicates at 19.2Kbaud. This data rate will allow forthree rounds of data per second on a64 device network. A typical CVHEcontrol network will have less than50 devices. IPC3 allows for amaximum of 255 devices pernetwork.

IPC3 Definitions:Bus Management:The DynaView™ provides the busmanagement having the task ofrestarting the link, or filling in formissing nodes when the normalcommunication has been degraded.This involves reassigning nodeaddresses and filling in for nodesthat are off-line. The DynaView™

always has a node number of 01.

Node Assignment:When a unit is factorycommissioned, the LLIDS must havetheir node addresses assigned tothem for storage in non-volatilememory. The node addresses arenormally assigned sequentiallyduring factory commissioning.

Node Zero:Node number zero is is a specialnode assignment that is reserved fordevices that are service selected. ALLID communicating on nodeaddress zero will also communicateon an assigned node address. A LLIDwill only communicate on nodeaddress zero if it is service selected.

Binding:Binding is the process of assigning anode number and functional IDs to aLLID. Binding is a simple process:1. Service selecting the LLID with a

magnet.2. Assigning functional IDs to that

LLID with TechView™.

Functional Identification:When each LLID on the bus is bound,its inputs and outputs are given afunctional ID. The Frame LLIDS haveonly one functional ID, but mostPanel LLIDs have more than onefunctional ID. A dual high voltagebinary input will have two functionalIDs, a quad relay output has fourfunctional IDs.

The DynaView™ Main Processor withits IPC3 Bus communicates to thecontrol panel devices, unit mounteddevices, and any remote devices onthe IPC3 bus network. The variousdevices are discussed in theupcoming sections.

Head Relief Request OutputWhen the chiller is running inCondenser Limit Mode or in SurgeMode, the head relief request relay(1 minute default) on the 1A9–J2-6 toJ2-4 will be energized and can beused to control or signal for areduction in the entering condenserwater temperature. Designed toprevent high refrigerant pressure trip-outs during critical periods of chilleroperation.

If the unit is not equipped with theCDPR Enhanced Condenser LimitOption the unit will use thecondenser refrigerant temperaturesensor (input converted to saturatedrefrigerant pressure) to perform theStandard Condenser Limit function,

without the head relief request relay,by limiting inlet guide vane strokeand chiller capacity.

CDRP Refrigerant PressureOutput Option 1A15:Refrigerant Pressure Output can beconfigured at commissioning tocorrespond to either A) the absolutecondenser pressure, or B) thedifferential pressure of the evaporatorto condenser pressures.

This vdc output is located at 1A15 –J2 – 4 (+) to J2-6 (Ground)

The Voltage DC Output can source amaximum of 22 mA of current.

This output is Voltage DC only, 4-20mA is not supported.

A) Condenser Pressure Output.2 to 10 Vdc corresponds to 0 Psia tothe HPC (in Psia) setting.

Note: Controls allow Delta Pressureor condenser pressure output, butnot both.

Temperature basedOn standard machines the PercentCondenser Pressure IndicationOutput is based on the SaturatedCondenser Refrigerant and atemperature to pressure conversionis made.

If the Condenser SaturatedTemperature goes out of range due toan open or short, a pressure sensordiagnostic will be called and theoutput will also go to the respectiveout of range value. That is, for an outof range low on the sensor, theoutput will be limited to 2.0 VDC. Foran out of range high on the sensor,the output will be limited to 10.0VDC.

Pressure basedWith the Enhanced Protection EPROoption, a condenser pressuretransducer is installed and thepressure is measured.

If the Condenser Pressure sensorgoes out of range due to either anopen or short, a pressure sensordiagnostic will be called and theoutput will go to end of range low.That is, for an out of range low on thesensor, the output will be limited to2.0 VDC. For an out of range high onthe sensor, the output will be limitedto 2.0 VDC.

57CVHE-SVU01E-EN


B) Refrigerant Differential PressureIndication Output:A 2 to 10 VDC analog output isprovided instead of the previouscondenser pressure output signal.This signal corresponds to apredetermined minimum andmaximum pressure settings setup atcommissioning of this feature. Thisrelationship can be altered using theservice tool if required.

The “Minimum Delta Pressure “ istypically set to 0 psi and will thencorrespond to 2 vdc. The “MaximumDelta Pressure “ is typically set to 30psi and corresponds to 10 vdc.

The Minimum Delta PressureCalibration setting has a range of 0-400 psid (0-2758 kPa) in increments of1 psid (1kPa). The Maximum DeltaPressure Calibration setting has arange of 1-400 psid (7-2758 kPa) in

Figure 22. Delta pressure setting - differential pressure based output(Defaults shown)

increments of 1 psid (1kPa). Thecondenser refrigerant pressure isbased on the Condenser RefrigerantTemperature sensor if the CondenserPressure Option is selected as “NotInstalled” at the display.

The evaporator refrigerant pressure isbased on the Saturated EvaporatorRefrigerant Temperature Sensor.

See CTV-PRB006-EN for additionalinformation about condenser watertemperature control.

In this example, 2 vdc corresponds to 0 psi differential and 10 vdccorresponds to 30 psi differential. The min value of 0 psi, and the max value of30 psi are individually adjustable via the service tool.

Note: Typical settings for CVHE, F, G with refrigerant pumps are as follows.

• Min pressure 0 psid (= 2 vdc)

• Max pressure 6 psid (= 10 vdc)

• Target tower control at 4 psid

1. Circuit Breaker 1Q1 whichprovides power to the startermodule (2A1) relay outputs and theHigh Pressure Cutout switch (3S1).

2. Circuit Breaker 1Q2 whichprovides power to the Purgecircuitry.

3. Circuit Breaker 1Q3 whichprovides power to Transformer(1T1) which steps down the 115Vac to 24 Vac. This 24 Vac thenpowers the 24 Vdc power supply1A1, and 1A2 if present. The 24 vdcis then connected to all modulesvia the Interprocessorcommunications Bus providingmodule power.

1Q3 also provides power to theexternal chiller water proof of flowdevice connected between terminalblock 1X1-5 to 1A6-J3-2, andcondenser water proof of flowdevice connected at 1X1-6 to 1A6-J2-2.

5. The DynaView™ display module1A22, receives 24 vdc power fromthe IPC bus.

UCP and Wye-Delta StarterControl CircuitsLogic Circuits within the variousmodules will determine the starting,running, and stopping operation ofthe chiller. When operation of thechiller is required the chiller mode isset at ‘‘Auto’’. Using customersupplied power, the chilled waterpump relay (5K1) is energized by the1A5 Module output at 1A5-J2-4, andchilled water flow must be verifiedwithin 4 minutes 15 seconds by the1A6 Module. The main processorslogic decides to start the chillerbased on the differential to startsetpoint. With the differential to startcriteria met module 1A5 thenenergizes condenser water pumprelay (5K2) via customer suppliedpower at 1A5 J2-1.

Based on the restart inhibit functionand the differential to start setpoint,oil and refrigerant pump (4M3) willbe energized by 1A7 Module (1A7-J1).The oil pressure must be at least 9Psid for 60 continuous seconds andcondenser water flow verified within4 minutes 15 seconds minutes for thecompressor start sequence to beinitiated.

When less than 2.5 seconds remainbefore compressor start, a starter testis conducted to verify contactorstates prior to starting thecompressor. The following test orstart sequence is conducted for‘‘Wye-Delta’’ starters: Also refer toFigure 24.

A. Test for transition completecontact open (2A1-J12-2) –160 to 240msec. An MMR diagnostic will begenerated if the contact is closed.

B. Delay time - 20 msec.

C. Close start contactor (2K1) andcheck for no current - 500 msec. Ifcurrents are detected, the MMRdiagnostic ‘‘Starter Fault Type I’’ isgenerated.

D. Stop relay (2A1-J10-3 to 1) closesfor one second for test “C” above.

E. Delay time - 200 msec. (Opens2K1).

F. Close shorting contactor, (2K3) andcheck for no current - one second. Ifcurrents are detected the MMRdiagnostic ‘‘Starter Fault Type II’’ isgenerated. (Starter Integrity test)

G. If no diagnostics are generated inthe above tests, the Stop Relay (2A1-J10) is closed for 2 seconds and theStart Relay (2A1-J8) is closed toenergize the start contactor (2K1). Theshorting contactor (2K3) has alreadybeen energized from (F) above. Thecompressor motor (4M1) starts in the‘‘Wye’’ configuration, an auxiliarycontact (2K1-AUX) locks in the startcontactor (2K1) coil.

H. After the compressor motor hasaccelerated and the maximum phasecurrent has dropped below 85percent of the chiller nameplate RLAfor 1.5 seconds, the starter transitionto the ‘‘Delta’’ configuration isinitiated.

J. The transition contactor (2K4) isclosed through relay 2A1-J2, placingthe transition resistors (2R1, 2R2, and2R3) in parallel with the compressormotor windings. The run relay (2A1-J6-3 to 1) is closed.

K. The shorting contactor (2K3) isopened through the opening of relay2A1-J4 100 msec after the closure ofthe transition relay 2A1-J2, and therun relay 2A1-J6.

L. The run contactor (2K2) is closedthrough auxillary contacts on theshorting contactor (2K3), shorting outthe transition resistors. This placesthe compressor motor in the ‘‘Delta’’configuration and the starter modulewaits to look for this transition forabout 2.3 seconds through theclosure of the transition completecontacts 2K2-Aux at module 2A1-J12input)

M. The starter module must nowconfirm closure of the transitioncomplete contact (2K2-AUX) within2.5 seconds after the shorting relay(2A1-J4) is opened. Finally, thetransition relay (2A1-J2) is opened de-energizing the transition contactor(2K4) and the compressor motorstarting sequence is complete. AnMMR diagnostic will be generated ifthe transition complete contacts (2K2-AUX) do not close. A diagram of thistest or start sequence is shown inFigure 24.

Now that the compressor motor(4M1) is running in the ‘‘Delta’’configuration, the inlet guide vaneswill modulate, opening and closingto the chiller load variation byoperation of the stepper vane motoractuator (4M2) to satisfy chilled watersetpoint. The chiller continues to runin its appropriate mode of operation:Normal, Softload, Limit Mode,etcetera.

If the chilled water temperature dropsbelow the chilled water set point byan amount set as the ‘‘differential tostop’’ setpoint, a normal chiller stopsequence is initiated as follows:(Refer to Figure 10.)

1. The inlet guide vanes are drivenclosed up to 50 seconds.

2. After the inlet guide vanes areclosed, the stop relay (2A1-J10) andthe condenser water pump relays(1A5-J2) open to turn off. The oiland refrigerant pump motor (4B3)will continue to run for 3 minutespost lube while the compressorcoasts to a stop. The chilled waterpump will continue to run whilethe Main processor module (1A22)monitors leaving chilled watertemperature preparing for the nextcompressor motor start based onthe ‘‘differential to start’’ setpoint.

If the STOP key is pressed on theoperator interface, the chiller willfollow the same stop sequence asabove except the chilled water pumprelay (1A5-J2) will also open and stopthe chilled water pump after thechilled water pump delay timer hastimed out after compressor shutdown.

If the “Immediate Stop” is initiated, apanic stop occurs which follows thesame stop sequence as pressing theSTOP key once except the inlet guidevanes are not sequence closed andthe compressor motor is immediatelyturned off.

Note: While the (1A7-J2-5 to 1) relayautomatically is closed by the mainprocessor 1A22 as a part of the startsequence. It can also be closedmanually by changing the oil pumpstatus to “ON” in the manual override mode menu of DynaView™.

Closure of the (1A7-J2-5 to 1), or 2K1auxiliary contacts also allows currentto pass through the coil of therefrigerant pump starter relay (4K8),

Momentary Power Loss (MPL)Protection.Improved power measurement andprotection algorithms allow the unitto accommodate more poweranomalies than ever. If the chillermust shut down, faster restarts getthe machine up and running as soonas possible.

Momentary power loss (MPL) detectsthe existence of a power loss to thecompressor motor and responds byinitiating the disconnection of thecompressor motor from the powersource. Power interruptions of lessthan 30 line-cycles are defined as

momentary power losses. Tests haveshown that these short-term powerinterruptions can be damaging to themotor and compressor if the chilleris reconnected to the line while themotor and line phases do not match.The chiller will be shut down when aMPL is detected and will display anon-latching diagnostic indicatingthe failure. The oil pump will be runfor the post-lube time period whenpower returns. The compressor andcompressor motor are protected fromdamage from large torques andinrush currents resulting fromreconnecting the compressor motor

to the power source following amomentary loss of power.

MPL’s greater than 2 or 3 cycles aredetected resulting in unit shut down.Disconnection from the line isinitiated within 6 line cycles of thepower loss. MPL protection is activeanytime the compressor is in therunning mode. (The transitioncomplete input has been satisfied).

MPL is enabled however can bedisabled, if required via the servicetool.

Current Overload ProtectionMotor currents are continuouslymonitored for over current protectionand locked rotor protection. Thisprotects the Chiller itself fromdamage due to current overloadduring starting and running modesbut is allowed to reach full loadamps. This overload protection logicis independent of the current limit.The overload protection willultimately shut the unit downanytime the highest of the threephase currents exceeds the time-tripcurve. A manual reset diagnosticdescribing the failure will bedisplayed.

Overload protection for the motorstarts based on the Maximum Timeto Transition permitted for aparticular motor .

Running Over Current Protection

In the run mode, a “time-to-trip”curve is looked at to determine if adiagnostic should be called. TheUCP continuously monitorscompressor line currents to providerunning over current and locked rotorprotection. Over current protection isbased on the line with the highestcurrent. It triggers a manuallyresettable diagnostic shutting down

the compressor when the currentexceeds the specified time-trip curve.The compressor overload time tripcurve is expressed as a percent of theRated Load Amps of the compressorand is not adjustable:

Overload Must Hold = 102 PercentRLA.Overload Must Trip in 20 (+0 -3)seconds = 112 Percent RLA(Note the above gives a nominal 20second must trip point of 107 PercentRLA.)Overload Must Trip in 1.5 seconds =140 Percent RLA (Nominal)

The linear time-trip curve is asfollows:

Figure 26. Overload trip time versus percent RLA

CVHE-SVU01E-EN70

Current Limit ProtectionCurrent Limit Protections exist toavoid motor current overload anddamage to the compressor motorduring starting and running.Compressor motor current iscontinuously monitored and currentis controlled via a limit function thatto prevent running into over currentdiagnostic trips.

The current limit control logicattempts to prevent the motor fromshutting down on a diagnostic trip bylimiting compressor current drawrelative to an adjustable current limitDynaView™ Current Limit Setpoint.This setpoint can also be lowered toprovide electrical demand limiting onthe unit as required. This could alsobe set to allow the Chiller to continueto run at a lower load to avoidtripping off via a diagnostic.

The Current Limit function uses a PIDalgorithm (Similar to the LeavingWater Temperature control) thatallows the chiller to run at theCurrent Limit Setpoint. At machinestartup, or with any setpoint changethe new current limit setpointreached after the is filtered setpointtime elapses. The minimum currentlimit setpoint is default set to 40percent RLA (20-100 percent). Thefiltering time is default set to 10minutes (0-120 minutes), howeverthese can be altered via the servicetool. This filtered setpoint allows forstable control if the Current Limitsetpoint is adjusted during a run.

The Current Limit Setpoint (CLS) canbe changed from: Front Panel,External Analog input (with GBASoption), or Tracer (Tracer option).However, If present Tracer currentsetpoint has the highest priority,unless disabled in the DynaView™

Setpoint source override menu. TheExternal CLS has second priority, andwill be used if Tracer is disabled ornot installed. The Front PanelSetpoint has the lowest priority, andwill be used if Tracer and the ExternalCLS are both disabled.

Phase Loss ProtectionLoss of phase detection protects thechiller motor from damage due to asingle-phasing condition. Thecontrols will shut down the chiller ifany of the three phase currentsfeeding the motor are lost. Theshutdown will result in a latchingdiagnostic indicating the failure. Themotor is protected from over-currentduring a single-phase condition bythe Current Overload Protectionfeature. Phase Loss Protectionprovides redundant protection and adiagnostic that more accuratelydescribes the fault.

Reverse Rotation ProtectionThis function protects thecompressor from being driven in thereverse direction. Incorrect phaserotation detection results in amanually resettable diagnostic.Phase Reversal protection is defaultto Enable, however can be disabledvia the service tool.

Phase Imbalance ProtectionCH530 provides phase imbalanceprotection based on the averagethree-phase current. The three phasecurrents supplied to the motor aremonitored for unequal amperagedraw. Motor overload is notconsidered to be a problem sinceeach phase of the motor is monitoredfor overcurrent. In addition, sinceeach phase is monitored for loss ofcurrent, the motor will be protectedagainst single phasing.

Under and Over Voltage ProtectionUnder/over voltage protection can beenabled (default) or disabled viaTechView.

If Disabled : No effect.

If Enabled :

-Diagnostic called when the averageof the three line voltages is greaterthan 112.5% of the unit line voltageset point for 60 seconds.

and an Undervoltage conditionoccurs:

-Diagnostic called when the averageof the three line voltages is less than87.5% of the unit line voltage setpoint for 60 seconds.

-Diagnostic cleared when the averageof the three line voltages is 90% orgreater of the unit line voltage setpoint.

Differential to Start or StopThe Differential to Start setpoint isadjustable from 1 to 10°F (0.55 to5.55°C) and the Differential to Stopsetpoint adjustable from 1 to 10°F(0.55 to 5.55°C). Both setpoints arewith respect to the Active ChilledWater Setpoint. When the chiller isrunning and the LWT (Leaving WaterTemperature) reaches the Differentialto Stop setpoint the chiller will gothrough its shutdown sequence toAUTO. (Refer to Figure 10.)

SoftLoadingSoftloading stabilizes the startupcontrol during the initial chillerpulldown. Soft loading is used tobring the building loop temperaturefrom its start value to the ChilledWater or Hot Water Setpoint in acontrolled manner. Without softloading, the chiller controls will loadthe chiller rapidly and use the fullchiller capacity to bring the looptemperature to setpoint. Although thestart temperature of loop may havebeen high, the actual system loadmay be low. Thus, when the setpointis met the chiller must unloadquickly to the system load value. If itis not able to unload quickly enough,the supply water temperature will

drop below setpoint and may evencause the chiller to cycle off. Softloading prevents the chiller fromgoing to full capacity during thepulldown period. After thecompressor has been started, thestarting point of the filtered setpointis initialized to the value of theEvaporator Leaving Watertemperature and the percent RLA.

There are three independent Softloadsetpoints:• Capacity Control Softload Time

(default to 10 minutes, 0-120minutes) This setting controls thetime constant of the Filtered ChilledWater Setpoint.

• Current Limit Control Softload Time(default 10 minutes; 0-120 minutes)This Setting controls the timeconstant of the Filtered CurrentLimit Setpoint.

• Current Limit Softload StartingPercent (default is 40 percent RLA;20-100 percent): This settingcontrols the Starting point of theFiltered Current Limit Setpoint

Service tool provides access to thesethree setpoints, if it is determinednecessary to change from thedefaults.

Softloading is not active during IceMaking or during the Ice To normalTransition. Softloading will beenabled after the Ice to normalTransition timer has expired.

Softloading is not active during FreeCooling, The softloading is activeduring the transition from FreeCooling to Powered operation.

Softloading times can be activeduring Hot Gas Bypass Control

Minimum and Maximum CapacityLimitA Minimum Capacity can be set tolimit the unloading ability of thecompressor thus forcing differentialto stop to be reached cycling thechillers. Minimum capacity limit willbe displayed when in this limitmode. This indicates when the chilleris running fully unloaded.

Similarly a maximum capacity can beset to limit normal chilled watertemperature control, the maximumcapacity relay is energized which is asignal used by generic BAS systemsto start another chiller.

The minimum (default at 0 percent)and maximum (default at 100 percent)capacity are adjustable via the servicetool.

Evaporator LimitEvaporator refrigerant temperature iscontinuously monitored to provide alimit function that prevents lowrefrigerant temperature trips whichallows the chiller to continue to runat a reduced load instead of trippingoff at the Low Evaporator RefrigerantTemperature Cutout Setpoint (LRTC).

Evaporator limit could occur with aninitial pull down of a loop where theCondenser is colder than theEvaporator (Inverted Start), theEvaporator refrigerant temperaturemay drop below the Low RefrigerantTemperature Cutout (LRTC). This limitprevents the unit from shutting downon a diagnostic during this type ofpulldown. Another example is aChiller that is low on refrigerantcharge will run with low Evaporatorrefrigerant temperatures. This limitallows the chiller to continue to runat a reduced load.

Evaporator Limit uses the EvaporatorRefrigerant Temperature sensor in aPID algorithm (Similar to the LeavingWater Temperature control) thatallows the chiller to run at the LRTC +2 degree F.

When actively limiting machinecontrol “Evaporator TemperatureLimit” will be displayed as a sub-operating mode.

Leaving Water TemperatureCutoutLeaving water temperature cutout is asafety control that protects the chillerfrom damage caused by waterfreezing in the evaporator. The cutoutsetpoint is factory set however isadjustable with the Service tool.

The “Leaving Water TemperatureCutout Setpoint” is independentlyadjustable from the chilled watersetpoint and factory set. Shutdown ofthe compressor due to violation ofthe Leaving Water Temperature

Cutout results in an automaticallyresettable diagnostic (MAR). TheDynaView™ Operating Modeindicates when the “Leaving WaterTemperature Cutout Setpoint”conflicts with the chilled watertemperature setpoint by a messageon the display. The “Leaving WaterTemperature Cutout Setpoint” andchilled water setpoint, both activeand front panel, are separated by aminimum of 1.7°F. See CutoutStrategy, Figure 27. When eitherdifference is violated, the UCP doesnot permit the above differences tobe violated and the display exhibits amessage to that effect and remains atthe last valid setpoint. After violationof the “Leaving Water TemperatureCutout Setpoint” for 30°F seconds thechiller will shutdown and indicate adiagnostic.


73CVHE-SVU01E-EN

Low Refrigerant TemperatureCutoutThe purpose of the low evaporatorrefrigerant temperature protection isto prevent water in the evaporatorfrom freezing. When the LowEvaporator Refrigerant TemperatureCutout (LRTC) trip point is violated, alatching diagnostic indicating thecondition is displayed. The LowEvaporator Refrigerant TemperatureDiagnostic is active in both theRunning and Stopped modes.

The Low Evaporator RefrigerantCutout Setpoint is factory set to 36°F.This can be altered via the servicetool. A Service Tool adjustable

setpoint that should be based on thepercentage of antifreeze used in thecustomer’s water loop. The Servicetool will display a warning messagesuch as “Warning: AdequateAntifreeze required” for anyEvaporator Refrigerant TemperatureCutout below 28°F and any LeavingWater Temperature Cutout below35°F.

The percent of antifreeze required is afunction of the leaving watertemperature setpoint and the worsecase (lowest permitted water flow)approach temperatures of thechiller’s evaporator design.

High Evaporator LeavingWater Temperature Cutout

(Main Processor Software Revision6.0 and higher)A High Evaporator WaterTemperature Diagnostic wasimplemented that will turn off theEvaporator Water pump relay if therelay is being forced on due to a Lossof Evaporator Water Flow Lostdiagnostic (MAR Diagnostic) and theEvaporator Leaving WaterTemperature exceeds an adjustableHigh Evaporator Water TemperatureCutout for 15 continuous seconds.The High Evaporator WaterTemperature diagnostic is animmediate shutdown and isnonlatching. The diagnostic will autoreset and the pump will return tonormal control when the temperaturefalls 5°F below the cutout setting.High Evaporator Water TemperatureCutout is a setpoint that is adjustablein TechView from 80°F and 150°F. Thedefault is 105°F.

Limit Loading: The potential to limit loading increases as the saturatedevaporator temperature approaches the evaporator limit setpoint.

Condenser LimitCondenser pressure is continuouslymonitored to provide a limit functionthat prevents High Pressure Cutout(HPC) trips. This protection is calledCondenser Refrigerant PressureLimit, or High Pressure Limit. A fullyloaded compressor, operating at highEvaporator Leaving WaterTemperature (ELWT) and highcondenser temperatures causes highcondenser pressures. The purpose ofthis limit is to avoid High PressureCutout (HPC) trips by allowing theChiller to continue to run at a lowerload instead of tripping off via HPC.

The Condenser Limit will be basedfrom a pressure conversion from theCondenser Refrigerant Temperaturesensor, unless there is a CondenserRefrigerant Pressure sensor installed(CDRP option). If the CondenserRefrigerant Pressure Sensor isinstalled, then the limit will be basedfrom the Pressure sensor.

When limited by this action,“Condenser Pressure Limit” will bedisplayed as a sub-operating mode.The Condenser Limit Setpoint isfactory set (93 percent of HPC),however can be altered via theservice tool.


Evaporator Variable FlowCompensationThis option includes transducers forthe differential evaporator andcondenser water pressures (psid).Flow switches or some other meansto prove flow are still required andmust be field connected.

The following data will be shown atthe DynaView and TechView displaysand at Tracer Summit.• Evaporator and condenser

differential water pressures (psid)• Evaporator and condenser gpm• Evaporator tons

How It WorksThe Tracer chiller controller uses apatented, variable, water-flowcompensation algorithm to maintainstable, precise capacity control.Variable flow compensation is a newoptional control feature for CTVchillers.

It will automatically adjust capacitycontrol to:• Maintain control stability at low

flow.• Reject variable-flow disturbance.

If the water-pressure transducer failsand the flow switch continues toprove flow, water-flow compensationwill be disabled and the design deltaT will be used.

For applications designed to operatewith variable-primary (VPF) water-flow, variable flow compensationallows the chiller to respond quicklyto accelerating or decelerating water.By automatically adjusting thecontrol gain, large changes in thewater-flow rate can be tolerated.

Restart Inhibit.This function provides short cycleprotection for the motor, andindirectly also short cyclingprotection for the starter since thestarter is designed to operate themotor under all the conditions ofmotor performance.

The operation of the restart inhibitfunction is dependent upon twosetpoints. The Restart Inhibit FreeStarts (1-5, 3 default), and the RestartInhibit Start to Start Timer (10-30 min,20 default). These settings areadjustable via the service tool.

Restart Inhibit Free StartsThis setting will allow a number ofrapid restarts equal to its value. If thenumber of free starts is set to “1”,this will allow only one start withinthe time period set by the Start toStart Time Setting. The next start willbe allowed only after the start to starttimer has expired. If the number offree starts is programmed to “3”, thecontrol will allow three starts in rapidsuccession, but thereafter, it wouldhold off on a compressor start untilthe Start to Start timer expired. i.e.with 3 free starts and 20 min. restartinhibit settings, it will take 60minutes of run time to restore thetotal of 3 free starts.

Restart Inhibit Start to StartTime SettingThis setting defines the shortestchiller cycle period possible after thefree starts have been used. If thenumber of free starts is programmedto “1”, and the Start to Start TimeSetting is programmed to 10minutes, then the compressor will beallowed one start every 10 minutes.The start-to-start time is the time fromwhen the motor was commanded toenergize to when the next commandto enter prestart is given.

Clear Restart InhibitA Clear Restart Inhibit “button” isprovided within Settings; ManualOverride on the DynaView display.This provides a way for an operatorto allow a compressor start whenthere is a currently active RestartInhibit that is prohibiting such a start.The “button” press will have noother function than to remove therestart inhibit if there is one active. Itdoes not change the count of anyinternal restart inhibit timers oraccumulators. command, but isinhibited, pending the expiration ofthe timer.

The restart inhibit function, setpointsand clear features exist for eachcompressor and operateindependently of other compressorson that chiller.

During the time the start is inhibiteddue to the start-to-start timer, theDynaView shall display the mode‘Restart Inhibit’ and the also displaythe time remaining in the restartinhibit.

A “Restart Inhibit Invoked” warningdiagnostic will exist when theattempted restart of a compressor isinhibited.

If all three motor windingtemperatures are less than the“Restart Inhibit Temperature”Setpoint (default 165°F/74°C) thenrestart is allowed.

Restart inhibit mode exist when atleast one of the three motor windingtemperatures is greater than or equalto the “Restart Inhibit Temperature”Setpoint but less than 265°F/129.4°C.Restart inhibit mode is entered untilall three motor winding temperaturesare less than the ‘Restart InhibitTemperature’ Setpoint

Note: When one of the three motorwinding temperatures is 265°F/129.4°C or greater, a High MotorWinding Temperature diagnosticshall be called.

Note: When the start is inhibited bythe restart inhibit function, the timeremaining will be displayed alongwith the restart inhibit mode.

High Vacuum LockoutThe oil sump pressure is below thelockout setpoint. Starting ofcompressor is inhibited as a result.

Low Oil Temperature Start InhibitThe oil temperature is at or below thelow oil temperature start inhibitsetpoint (143°F/61.7°C). The heater isenergized to raise the oil temperature.

Low oil temperature is indicative ofrefrigerant dilution in the oil. Oiltemperature is used to estimate thisdilution since the oil temperaturedirectly corresponds to amount ofrefrigeration dilution in the oil. It isrequired that oil contains minimalrefrigerant in it. This is accomplishedby boiling the refrigerant out of theoil by maintaining a high enough oiltemperature.

If the oil temperature is at or below agiven Low Oil Temperature Inhibitsetting (default 95°F/35°C) thecompressor cannot be started. Thisis an inhibit mode and will bereported to the operator interface. Theoil heater is energized in an attemptto raise the oil temperature over thisinhibit temperature setpoint. Thecompressor is inhibited from startinguntil the oil temperature is raised 5 ormore degrees above this setpoint.

The Low Oil Temperature Start Inhibitis tested on every start unless a quickrestart is being performed duringpost lube.

If the Enhanced Oil TemperatureProtection setting is enabled, the LowOil Temperature Start Inhibit value isthe greater of 100°F/37.8°C or theSaturated Evaporator RefrigerantTemperature + 30°F/16.7°C.

If the Enhanced Oil TemperatureProtection setting is not enabled, theLow Oil Temperature Start Inhibitvalue is settable with the Low OilTemperature Start Inhibit Setpoint viathe service tool.

Oil Temperature ControlThe oil heater is used to maintain theoil temperature within +/- 2.5°F (1.4°C)of the oil temperature controlsetpoint. The oil heater iscommanded off when the oil pumpis commanded on.

If the oil temperature is at or belowthe Low Oil Temperature Cutoutsetpoint, this diagnostic will beissued and stops the compressor.

This diagnostic is ignored for the first10 minutes of compressor run. Afterthat, if the oil temperature falls belowthis cutout temperature for more than60 consecutive seconds thisdiagnostic is issued.

High Oil Temperature CutoutName: High Oil Temperature CutoutType of Diagnostic: Latching, resultsin Immediate Shutdown.Default Setpoint value: 180°F (82.2°C)

Implemented to avoid overheating ofthe oil and the bearings.

If the oil temperature is at or abovethe High Oil Temperature Cutoutsetpoint this diagnostic will beissued - which will stop thecompressor.

If Oil Temperature violates thistemperature cutout for more than 120seconds this diagnostic is issued.

Manual Oil Pump ControlThe oil pump control acceptscommands to turn on the oil pump.The manual oil pump choices will be“Auto” or “On”. When the oil pumpis commanded “On”, it will revert to“Auto” in 15 minutes.

Controls Chilled Water Reset(CWR)Chilled water reset is designed forthose applications where the designchilled water temperature is notrequired at partload. In these cases,the leaving chilled water temperaturesetpoint can be reset upward usingthe CWR features.

When the CWR function is based onreturn water temperature, the CWRfeature is standard.

When the CWR function is based onoutdoor air temperature, the CWRfeature is an option requiring anoutdoor temperature sensor moduleinstalled in the UCP panel, andsensor installed outdoors.

The type of CWR is selected in theOperator Interface settings Menualong with the Reset Ratio, StartReset Setpoint, and the MaximumReset Setpoint.

The following equations andparameters apply for CWR.

Return WaterCWS’ = CWS + RATIO (STARTRESET - TWE - TWL) and CWS’ > or= CWS and CWS’ - CWS < or =Maximum Reset.

Outdoor Air TemperatureCWS = CWS + RATIO (START RESET- TOD) and CWS’ > or = CWS andCWS - CWS < or = Maximum Reset.

WhereCWS’ is the new chilled watersetpoint.

CWS is the active chilled watersetpoint before any reset hasoccurred.

RESET RATIO is a user adjustablegain.

START RESET is a user adjustablereference.

TOD is the Temperature OutdoorSensor.

TWE is entering evaporator watertemperature.

TWL is the Leaving EvaporatorTemperature.

MAXIMUM RESET is a useradjustable limit providing themaximum amount of reset. For alltypes of reset, CWS - CWS < or =Maximum Reset.

Both Return and Outdoor Reset donot apply to Heating Mode where theUCP is controlling the LeavingCondensing Hot Water Temperature.

Constant Return Reset will reset theleaving water temperature setpoint soas to provide a constant enteringwater temperature. The ConstantReturn Reset equation is the same asthe Return Reset equation except onselection of Constant Return Reset,the UCP shall automatically setRATIO, START RESET, andMAXIMUM RESET to the following:

The RATIO = 100 percentThe START RESET = Design DeltaTemperatureThe MAXIMUM RESET = DesignDelta Temperature

Unit Start-Up Procedures

Daily Unit Start-Up

1. Verify the chilled water pump andcondenser water pump starter arein “ON” or “AUTO”.

2. Verify the cooling tower is in “ON”or “AUTO”.

3. Check the oil tank oil level; thelevel must be visible in or abovethe lower sight glass. Also, besure to check the oil tanktemperature; normal oil tanktemperature before start-up is140°F to 145°F (60 to 63°C).

Note: The oil heater is energizedduring the compressor off cycle.During unit operation, the oil tankheater is de-energized.

4. If the chiller is equipped with thefree cooling option, ensure that thefree cooling option is disabled inthe Chiller Settings menu.

5. Check the chilled water setpointand readjust it, if necessary, in theChiller Settings menu.

6. If necessary, readjust the currentlimit setpoint in the ChillerSetpoints menu.

7. Press “AUTO”.

Unit Startup

The UCP also checks compressormotor winding temperature, and astart is initiated if the windingtemperature is less than 265°F. Thechilled water pump relay is energizedand evaporator water flow is proven.

Next, the UCP checks the leavingevaporator water temperature andcompares it to the chilled watersetpoint. If the difference betweenthese values is less than the startdifferential setpoint, cooling is notneeded.

If the UCP determines that thedifference between the evaporatorleaving water temperature and chilledwater setpoint exceeds the startdifferential setpoint, the unit entersthe initiate Start Mode and the oilpump and Refrigerant pump and thecondenser water pump are started. Ifcondenser water flow is not proven(flow switch 5S3 does not close)within 4-minutes 15 seconds, the unitis locked out on a MMR Diagnostic.

Oil pressure must be verified within 3minutes or a MMR diagnostic isgenerated.

When less than 5 seconds remain onthe restart inhibit, the pre-start startertest is conducted on Y-Delta starters.If faults are detected, the unit’scompressor will not start, and aMMR Diagnostic will be generated.

If the compressor motor starts andaccelerates successfully, “Unit isRunning” appears on the display. Atthis time the purge unit will startoperating on “Automatic” and willcontinue to operate as long as chillercompressor is running.

Note: Whenever the UCP detects aMMR diagnostic condition duringstart-up, unit operation is locked out,and manual reset is required beforethe start-up sequence can beginagain. If the fault condition has notcleared, the UCP will not permitrestart.

CVHE-SVU01E-EN86

When the cooling requirement issatisfied, the UCP originates a“Shutting down” signal. The inletguide vanes are driven closed for 50seconds, and the unit enters a 3-minute post-lube period. Thecompressor motor and condenserwater pump starter are de-energizedimmediately, but the oil pumpcontinues to run during this 3-minuteinterval; the evaporator pump willcontinue to run.

Once the post-lube cycle is done, theunit returns to auto mode.

Seasonal Unit Start-Up

1. Close all drain valves, and re-install the drain plugs in theevaporator and condenserheaders.

2. Service the auxiliary equipmentaccording to the start-up andmaintenance instructions providedby the respective equipmentmanufacturers.

3. Vent and fill the cooling tower, ifused, as well as the condenserand piping. At this point, all airmust be removed from the system(including each pass). Then closethe vents in the condenser waterboxes.

Unit Startup

4. Open all of the valves in theevaporator chilled water circuit.

5. If the evaporator was previouslydrained, vent and fill the evaporatorand chilled water circuit. When allair is removed from the system(Including each pass), close thevent valves in the evaporator waterboxes.

6. Lubricate the external vane controllinkage as needed.

7. Check the adjustment andoperation of each safety andoperating control.

8. Close all disconnect switches.

9. Perform instructions listed in“Daily Unit Start-up” section.

OverviewThis section describes the basicchiller preventive maintenanceprocedures, and recommends theintervals at which these proceduresshould be performed. Use of aperiodic maintenance program isimportant to ensure the best possibleperformance and efficiency from aCenTraVac® chiller.

Recommended purge maintenanceprocedures for the Purifier Purge unitare covered by PRGD-SVU01A-EN orthe latest revision which can beobtained at the nearest Trane office.

Record Keeping FormsAn important aspect of the chillermaintenance program is the regularcompletion of records. Provided atthe end of this manual are copies ofthe “Annual Inspection Check Listand Report”, “CenTraVac with UCPCommissioning Checklist and ‘‘Start-Up Test Log’’, a ‘‘Start-Up Test Log

for Water Cooled CenTraVacs withUCP Control Panels’’ and ‘‘UCP‘‘Settings Group’’ Menu Record’’.When filled out accurately by themachine operator, the completedlogs can be reviewed to identify anydeveloping trends in the chiller’soperating conditions.

For example, if the machine operatornotices a gradual increase incondensing pressure during amonth’s time, he can systematicallycheck, then correct the possiblecause(s) of this condition (fouledcondenser tubes, noncondensable inthe system, etcetera)

Daily Maintenance and Checks[ ] Check the chiller’s evaporator andcondenser pressures, oil tankpressure, differential oil pressure anddischarge oil pressure. Compare thereadings with the values provided inthe Normal Chiller OperatingCharacteristics table.

IMPORTANT: IT IS HIGHLYRECOMMENDED THAT THEOPERATING LOG BE COMPLETEDON A DAILY BASIS.

CAUTION

Moisture Contamination!

IF FREQUENT PURGING ISREQUIRED, MONITOR PURGEPUMPOUT RATE, IDENTIFY ANDCORRECT SOURCE OF AIR ORWATER LEAK AS SOON ASPOSSIBLE. Failure to do so canshorten chiller life expectancy, due tomoisture contamination caused byleakage.

[ ] Check the oil level in the chiller oilsump using the two sight glassesprovided in the oil sump head. Whenthe unit is operating, the oil levelshould be visible in the lower sightglass.

Oil Maintenance

Compressor Oil Change onCVHE, CVHF, CVHG

Recommendations are to subscribeto an annual oil analysis programrather than automatically change theoil as part of scheduled maintenance.Change the oil only if indicated bythe oil analysis. Use of an oilanalysis program will reduce thechillers overall lifetime waste oilgeneration and minimize refrigerantemissions. The oil analysis shouldbe performed by a qualifiedlaboratory that is experienced inrefrigerant and oil chemistry and inthe servicing of Trane centrifugalchillers.

In conjunction with other diagnosticsperformed by a qualified servicetechnician, oil analyses can providevaluable information on theperformance of the chiller to helpminimize operating and maintenance

costs and maximize it’s operating life.A drain fitting is installed in the oilfilter top, after the oil filter, forobtaining oil samples.

Note: Use only Trane OIL00022. A fulloil change is 9 gallons of OIL00022.

Oil Change ProcedureWhen oil analysis indicates the needto change compressor oil, use thefollowing procedure for removingoil.

CAUTION

Heater Damage!

The oil sump heater must bedeenergized before draining thesump. Failure to do so couldpossibly burn out the oil sumpheater.

[ ] Draw the oil from the chillerthrough the oil charging valve on thechiller oil sump into an approved,evacuated tank; or,

[ ] Pump the oil from the chillerthrough the oil charging valve into anairtight resealable container, using amagnetically-driven auxiliary pump.

Forcing the oil from the oil sump bypressurizing the chiller (by raisingchiller temperature or addingnitrogen) is not recommended.

Refrigerant dissolved in the oil canbe removed and returned to thechiller by using an appropriate deep-vacuum recovery unit and heatingand agitating the oil container. Followall Federal, State and Localregulations with regard to disposal ofwaste oil.

CVHE-SVU01E-EN92

Oil Maintenance

Replacing Oil FilterReplace oil filter: (1) annually, (2) ateach oil change, (3) or if erratic oilpressure is experienced duringchiller operation.

Oil Filter ReplacementUse the following procedure toservice the oil filter. Refer to Figure34.

1. Run the oil pump for two to threeminutes to insure that the oil filteris warmed up to the oil sumptemperature.

2. Turn the oil pump motor off.

3. Pull the “D” handle on the rotaryvalve locking pin out of its detentand rotate the valve to the“DRAIN” position. An offsetpointer is located on top of thevalve with wrench flats to allowturning. The spring force on thelocking pin should allow the pin todrop into a detent at this position.

4. Allow at least 15 minutes for the oilto drain from the filter back intothe oil sump.

5. Pull the “D” handle to unlock thepin and rotate the valve to the“Change Filter” position. Thisisolates the filter from the unit. Thelocking pin should drop into adetent in this position.

6. Remove and replace the filter asquickly as possible. Tighten filter2/3 to 3/4 turn per instructionswritten on the filter. Place the usedfilter in a reusable container.Follow all local, state and federalregulations to dispose of the filter.Pull the “D” handle to unlock thepin and rotate the valve to the“RUN” position. The locking pinshould drop into a detent in thisposition. The chiller is now readyfor operation.

CAUTION

Oil Supply SystemProblems!

Plugging of oil supply system couldlead to bearing failure. Failure to usecare could result in Loctite gettinginto the chiller which may causeproblems with the Oil supplysystem and eductor system.

[ ] Inspect the condenser tubes forfouling; clean if necessary.

�� WARNING


Disconnect all electric power,including remote disconnects beforeservicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure thepower cannot be inadvertentlyenergized. For variable frequencydrives or other energy storingcomponents provided by Trane orothers, refer to the appropriatemanufacturer’s literature forallowable waiting periods fordischarge of capacitors.

Failureto disconnect power and dischargecapacitors before servicing couldresult in death or serious injury.Note: For additional informationregarding the safe discharge ofcapacitors, see PROD-SVB06A-EN orPROD-SVB06A-FR

[ ] Measure the compressor motorwinding resistance to ground; aqualified service technician shouldconduct this check to ensure that thefindings are properly interpreted.

Contact a qualified serviceorganization to leak-test the chiller;this procedure is especiallyimportant if the system requiresfrequent purging.

[ ] Use a nondestructive tube test toinspect the condenser and evaporatortubes at 3-year intervals.

Note: It may be desirable to performtube tests on these components atmore frequent intervals, dependingupon chiller application. This isespecially true of critical processequipment.

[ ] Depending on chiller duty, contacta qualified service organization todetermine when to conduct acomplete examination of the unit todiscern the condition of thecompressor and internalcomponents.

Note: (a) Chronic air leaks, which cancause acidic conditions in thecompressor oil and result inpremature bearing wear; and, (b)Evaporator or condenser water tubeleaks. Water mixed with thecompressor oil can result in bearingpitting, corrosion, or excessive wear.

[ ] Submit a sample of thecompressor oil to a Trane qualifiedlaboratory for comprehensiveanalysis on an annual basis; thisanalysis determines system moisturecontent, acid level and wear metalcontent of the oil, and can be used asa diagnostic tool.

LubricationThe only CVHE, CVHF and CVHGchiller component that requiresperiodic lubrication is the externalvane linkage assembly and Rotary oilvalve.

Lubricate the vane linkage shaftbearings and rod end bearings asneeded with a few drops of light-weight machine oil.

The CenTraVac inlet guide vane tangoperators should be servicedannually with R123 compatiblegrease. Use only Rheolube 734A,available from Trane as LUB00033(16oz. standard grease gun cartridge)or LUB00063 (3oz. mini grease guncartridge)

To service the 1st stage tangoperator of all units except CVHFextended capacity chillers with 1470or 1720 compressors.1. The chiller must be off.2. Carefully remove any insulation

that may have been placed over thetwo lubrication ports of the tangoperator base. This insulation willneed to be replaced after theservice is complete.

3. Note the position of the tangoperator arm, note the placementof spacing washers etc., thendisconnect the linkage rod fromthe tang operator arm. Manuallymove the tang operator arm andnote the amount of effort requiredto operate the assembly.

4. Loosen but DO NOT REMOVE the1/16" NPT lubrication port plug thatis highest on the assembly.

5. Loosen and remove the remaininglower 1/16" NPT plug.

6. Using a grease gun with anappropriate fitting, insert ONLYRheolube grease into the open portuntil clean grease is seen to appeararound the threads of the plug inthe opposite port.

7. Tighten the plug that was loosenedin step 4. Tighten the plug to handtight plus 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

8. Remove the grease fitting, if used.

DO NOT LEAVE GREASE FITTINGSINSTALLED.If grease fittings have been used forthis procedure then they MUST BEREMOVED before returning the unitto service. Grease fittings are notvacuum-tight and will become a leakpath.9. Using a clean wooden dowel or

other similar tool, remove excessgrease from the remaining openlubrication port.

10. Clean and then lightly coat thethreads of the plug with Rheolubegrease and re-install it into thelubrication port. Tighten the plugto hand tight plus 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

11. Before reconnecting the vanelinkage, grasp the tang operatorarm and manually operate thevane assembly. If it is nowdifficult to move, then the tangoperator may have become“hydraulically locked” because ofexcess grease in the assembly.This situation could causedamage to the o-rings of theassembly. If this occurs thenremove one of the lubricationplugs, remove some of thegrease, then re-install the plug.

12. Reconnect the linkage to the tangoperator arm. Ensure the spacerwashers between the linkage andthe arm are properly placed andthat the assembly does not bind.Re-install any insulation that wascut or removed. The unit may berestarted.

To service the 1st and 2nd stage tangoperators on CVHF and CDHFextended capacity chillers with 1470or 1720 compressors.The 1st and 2nd stage rotary inletguide vane tang operators of theextended capacity chillers alsorequire periodic lubrication, at leastannually, with R123 compatibleRheolube grease. These actuatorshave two 1/8" NPT plugs located 180degrees apart, with one on the top

and the other on the bottom of theoperator base. Use the sameprocedure as described above,except that it will be necessary totemporarily disconnect the vaneactuators from the tang operatorarms in order to test for a“hydraulically locked” condition.

The oil valve block rotary valve usesdual O-Rings to seal to atmosphere.These should be manually lubricatedby removing the pipe plug at thevalve lubrication port and placing afew drops of Trane OIL00022 in thecavity. Be sure to reinstall the pipeplug when lubrication is completed.

Refrigerant Charge

�� WARNING

Contains Refrigerant!

System contains oil and refrigerantand may be under positive pressure.Recover refrigerant to relievepressure before opening the system.See unit nameplate for refrigeranttype. Do not use non-approvedrefrigerants, refrigerant substitutes,or refrigerant additives.

Failure to follow proper proceduresor the use of non-approvedrefrigerants, refrigerant substitutes,or refrigerant additives could resultin death or serious injury orequipment damage.

The refrigerant charging procedurefor Trane centrifugal chillers is:

1. If water is present in the tubes,break machine vacuum withrefrigerant vapor, or circulatewater, to avoid tube damage.

2. Always use refrigerant compatiblehoses or copper-tubing with self-sealing connections or shut-offvalves.

3. Transfer the refrigerant using oneof the following (listed in order ofpreference):

a. An approved Trane low-pressure refrigerant recoveryand recycle unit.

b. The available pressuredifferential.

c. Gravity. (Use a return vent lineto refrigerant drums to equalizepressure.)

5. Do not use dry nitrogen to pushrefrigerant into the chiller as wascommon practice in the past. Thiswill contaminate the charge andrequire excessive purging, whichwill result in unnecessary releaseof refrigerant.

6. Weigh in the proper charge.

7. Use recovery and recyle unit orvacuum pump to evacuate hoses;discharge outdoors.

8. If refrigerant is supplied in newreturnable cylinders, be sure andrefer to General Service BulletinCVHE-SB-48B for information onreturning cylinders. This servicebulletin is available at the nearestTrane office.

Depending on the chiller duty,contact a qualified serviceorganization to determine when toconduct a complete examination ofthe unit to discern the condition ofthe compressor and internalcomponents.

Note: If your chiller is covered by aTrane extended warranty, the terms ofthat warranty may require that theprocedures listed in the PeriodicMaintenance section of this manualbe followed for your extendedwarranty to remain in force. Theterms may also require that the chillerbe inspected by a Trane authorizedwarranty agent every4-years or 40,000 operating hours,whichever occurs first. Thisinspection will include, at aminimum, a review of the annualinspection checklists and the dailyoperating logs, as well asperformance of a leak test and ageneral inspection of the chiller. Theowner is then required to follow therecommendations made as a result ofthis inspection at the ownersexpense.

CVHE-SVU01E-EN96

Maintenance

Recovery and RecycleConnectionsTo facilitate refrigerant removal andreplacement, newer-design CVHE,CVHF and CVHG units are providedwith a 3/4-inch vapor fitting withshutoff valve on the chiller suctionand with a 3/4-inch liquid connectionwith shutoff valve at the bottom of theevaporator shell. (Refer to RefrigerantHandling Guidelines.)

Leak TestingTo leak-test a chiller containing fullrefrigerant charge, raise chillerpressure using a controlled hot wateror electric-resistance system to amaximum of 8 psig. Do not usenitrogen, which will cause excessiverefrigerant discharge by the purgesystem.

Cleaning the Condenser

CAUTION

Proper Water Treatment!

The use of untreated or improperlytreated water in a CenTraVac mayresult in scaling, erosion, corrosion,algae or slime. It is recommendedthat the services of a qualified watertreatment specialist be engaged todetermine what water treatment, ifany, is required. Trane assumes noresponsibility for equipment failureswhich result from untreated orimproperly treated water, or saline orbrackish water.

See Figure 34 which shows a TypicalChemical Cleaning Setup.

Figure 34 - Typical Chemical Cleaning Setup

97CVHE-SVU01E-EN

Maintenance

Condenser tube fouling is indicatedwhen the approach temperature (thedifference between the condensingrefrigerant temperature and theleaving condenser watertemperature) is higher than predicted.

If the annual condenser tubeinspection indicates that the tubesare fouled, two cleaning methods,mechanical and chemical, can beused to rid the tubes ofcontaminants.

Use the mechanical cleaning methodto remove sludge and loose materialfrom smooth-bore tubes.

To clean other types of tubesincluding internally-enhanced types,consult a qualified serviceorganization for recommendations.

1. Remove the retaining nuts andbolts from the water box covers ateach end of the condenser. Use ahoist to lift the covers off the waterbox. (A threaded connection isprovided on each water box coverto allow insertion of an eyebolt).

2. Work a round nylon or brassbristled brush (attached to a rod) inand out of each of the condenserwater tubes to loosen the sludge.

3. Thoroughly flush the condenserwater tubes with clean water.

Scale deposits may be best removedby chemical means. Be sure toconsult a qualified chemical house inthe area (one familiar with the localwater supply’s chemical mineralcontent) for a recommended cleaningsolution suitable for the job.Remember, a standard condenserwater circuit is composed solely ofcopper, cast iron and steel.

CAUTION

Unit Corrosion Damage!

Proper procedures must be followedwhen using corrosive chemicals toclean water side of unit. It isrecommended that the services of aqualified chemical cleaning firm beused. Proper personal protectiveequipment as recommended by thechemical manufacturer should beused. Refer to the chemicals MSDSsheet for proper safety procedures.Failure to follow proper procedurescould result in corrosion damage tothe unit and tubes.

IMPORTANT: ALL OF THEMATERIALS USED IN THEEXTERNAL CIRCULATION SYSTEM,THE QUANTITY OF THE SOLUTION,THE DURATION OF THE CLEANINGPERIOD, AND ANY REQUIREDSAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BEAPPROVED BY THE COMPANYFURNISHING THE MATERIALS ORPERFORMING THE CLEANING.

REMEMBER, HOWEVER, THATWHENEVER THE CHEMICAL TUBECLEANING METHOD IS USED, ITMUST BE FOLLOWED UP WITHMECHANICAL TUBE CLEANING,FLUSHING AND INSPECTION.

Cleaning the EvaporatorSince the evaporator is typically partof a closed circuit, it does notaccumulate appreciable amounts ofscale or sludge. Normally, cleaningevery 3 years is sufficient. However,on open CVHE, CVHF and CVHGsystems, such as air washers,periodic inspection and cleaning isrecommended.

Control Settings andAdjustmentsTime delays and safety control cutoutsettings need to be checked annually.For control calibration and check-out,contact a Trane qualified serviceorganization.

CVHE-SVU01E-EN98

Maintenance

Purge SystemBecause some sections of thechiller’s refrigeration system operateat less-than-atmospheric pressure,the possibility exists that air andmoisture may leak into the system. Ifallowed to accumulate, thesenoncondensables become trapped inthe condenser; this increasescondensing pressure andcompressor power requirements,and reduces the chiller’s efficiencyand cooling capacity.

The Trane EarthWise Purge is theonly purge system available for theCVHE, CVHF and CVHG chiller. Thepurge is designed to removenoncondensable gases and waterfrom the refrigeration system.EarthWise Purge unit operation,maintenance and trouble shooting iscovered by a separate operation andmaintenance manual, which may beobtained from the nearest Traneoffice.

OverviewThis section describes extendedstorage requirements for UCPinstalled CVHE, CVHF and CVHGchillers to be removed from servicefor an undetermined length of time.

Unit PreparationThe following steps are necessary inorder to properly prepare a unit forstorage.

1. Remove all liquid refrigerant if theunit is charged.

�� WARNING

Contains Refrigerant!

System contains oil and refrigerantand may be under positive pressure.Recover refrigerant to relievepressure before opening the system.See unit nameplate for refrigeranttype. Do not use non-approvedrefrigerants, refrigerant substitutes,or refrigerant additives.

Failure to follow proper proceduresor the use of non-approvedrefrigerants, refrigerant substitutes,or refrigerant additives could resultin death or serious injury orequipment damage.

2. After the liquid refrigerant isremoved, using a recovery orrecycle unit or vacuum pump, pulla vacuum to remove remainingrefrigerant vapor from the unit.

3. After all traces of refrigerant are outof the unit, a positive nitrogencharge should be put into the unit(6 to 8 psig). This positive pressuremust be checked monthly toinsure no noncondensables getinto the unit. Use a pressure gageon the evaporator shell to verifythat the 6 to 8 psig dry nitrogenholding charge is still in thechiller. If this charge has escaped,contact a qualified serviceorganization and the Trane salesengineer that handled the order.

4. The refrigerant charge should bestored in proper refrigerantcontainers. Due to possibleleakage, do not store in useddrums.

5. Maintain control power to thecontrol panel. This will maintainoil temperature in the oil sumpand the capability of the controlpanel to present reportinformation. The Chiller Reportsshould be viewed once a week fornormal readings. Any abnormalobservation must be reported tothe Trane Sales Engineer thathandled the order.
