Unit Description
Operating Environment
Trane T-Series Climate Changers® are Central
Station Air Handlers designed for a variety of air
handling applications. The basic unit consists of a
fan, heating and/or cooling coils, filters, and
dampers. See the sales catalog (CLCH-DS-9) for a
list of available options and components.
The T-Series Climate Changer (TSC) is an outdoor
air handler. When considering the placement of the
TSC it is important to consider the operating
environment. The acceptable ambient temperature
range for unit operation is -40° to +140°F (-40°C to
60°C).
The fan is internally isolated. Fans available are
double-width, double-inlet Centrifugal types with
forward curved, backward inclined, or airfoil blade
type design; single-width, single-inlet Plug Fans or
Vane-Axial Q Fans®. Fans are available in low,
medium, and high pressure classes with or without
inlet guide vanes.
For heating applications a special motor may be
required to withstand the higher temperatures.
Motors with Class “B” insulation are acceptable for
ambient temperatures up to 104°F while motors with
class “F” insulation can withstand ambient
temperatures to +140° F (60°C).
NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CUSTOMER
PROVIDE ADEQUATE FREEZE PROTECTION FOR THE
COILS.
UNITS WITH UL APPROVAL HAVE A MAXIMUM
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENT OF 104°F.
To insure fan stability, the unit ships with four (4) lock-
down devices that prevent the fan from shifting
during shipment and installation. These spacers
must be removed prior to fan operation to assure
proper vibration isolation.
Unit Nameplates
The units are available with factory-mounted controls
for stand-alone operation or operation with a
complete building automation system. This includes
factory-mounted starters, DDC controllers, and end
devices.
Each unit section is provided with a section
nameplate (label). See Figure 1 . This nameplate
includes type of section, section serial number,
customer tagging information, section position and
service model number.

Each section of a T-Series Climate Changer is
identified with a multi-character model number and
serial number. The model number precisely identifies
a particular section. Refer to model number and
serial number when ordering parts or requesting
service.
If the unit ships as individual sections or section
subassemblies refer to the nameplate for customer
tagging information and section position to insure
proper placement of the sections during assembly.
INSTALLATION OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
MISC-IOM-5.
Most control components are mounted inside the
units. Depending on system configuration, these
controls may include damper actuators, dirty filter
switches, averaging temperature sensors, low limit
switches, point temperature switches, and inlet guide
vane actuators. Variable frequency drives, starters,
PCMs, control transformers, static pressure
transducers, DC power supplies, customer interface
relays, etc. will be in enclosures mounted on the
inside of the unit.
Controls
Wiring Sizes and Connections
Entrances are provided for field installation of high
and low voltage wiring through a pipe/nipple
connection in the base of the unit. The low and high
voltage connections are on opposite sides of the unit
on sizes 3 - 50 and on the same side for sizes 66 -
100.
Small items that cannot be factory-mounted will ship
inside the control enclosures. These controls may
include space temperature sensors, outside air
temperature sensors, and humidity sensors.
CAUTION
The high and low voltage wire
raceways for the T-series units are
intended for factory wiring ONLY.
Do not use these raceways for
field uses. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in damage
to the unit.
All control valves will ship directly to the “ship to
address” from the vendor, unless another address
was given on the order.
All constant volume or variable air volume control
systems are provided with 120 to 24 VAC control
transformers. Unless ordered with a factory-
mounted/wired starter or variable frequency drive,
the customer must provide 120 VAC control power,
50/60 hz, typically 3 amps for unit sizes 3 - 50, and 5
amps for unit sizes 66 -100. A dedicated 15 amp
circuit is recommended.
Wiring to the unit must be provided by the installer
and must comply with all national and local electrical
codes. The motor nameplate includes a wiring
diagram. If there are any questions concerning the
wiring of the motor be sure to take the motor
manufacturer’s name, model number, and serial
number and contact your local Trane representative
for assistance.
A T-Series Climate Changer unit and/or field-installed
accessories that must be stored for a period of time
prior to being installed MUST be protected from the
elements. The PCM and all other electrical/electronic
components should be stored in conditions of -20 -
120°F and 5 - 95% relative humidity non-condensing.
Electrical components ARE NOT moisture-tolerant

4 Notify the Trane sales representative of the
damage and arrange for repair. Do not attempt to
repair the unit without consulting the sales
representative. TRANE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE.
The T-Series Climate Changer can ship as individual
sections, section subassemblies, or a complete air
handler. Sizes 3 - 100 have an integral base rail.
Upon receipt of the unit(s) and prior to unloading,
inspect the unit for damage and verify that the
shipment is complete. Delivery cannot be refused.
Storage Considerations
General
Inspection
The Trane T-Series Climate Changer air handler is
an outdoor unit and requires no special protection for
storage before installation. Keep the equipment in
the original shipping container for protection and
ease of handling. The warranty will not cover
damages to the unit due to negligence during
storage.
1 Visually inspect components for any damage that
may have occurred during shipment.
NOTE: THE TRANE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE.
2 Check all access doors to confirm that the latches
and hinges are not damaged.
For longer periods of storage, allow enough
clearance around the unit to perform periodic
inspection and maintenance of the equipment. In
addition, loosen belt tension on drive belts.
3 Check all coil connections to confirm they are
straight and undamaged.
4 Inspect the coils for damage to the fin surface or
coil connections.
Long Term Storage
5 Check all devices attached to the unit exterior and
confirm that they are not damaged.
Every two weeks, rotate the fan and motor shaft thirty
revolutions by hand. Check for free rotation.
6 Manually rotate the fan wheel to ensure free
movement of the shaft, bearings, and drive.
Inspect the fan housing for any foreign objects.
Every six months, check fan shaft bearings and
grease lines. Add grease using a manual grease gun
following the lubrication recommendations in the
Periodic Maintenance section.
7 Inspect the interior of each section for any internal
damage as soon as possible after delivery.
Concealed damage must be reported within 15
days of receipt.
Check the motor lubrication; remove and clean
grease plugs and check for the presence of moisture
in the grease. If moisture is present, remove the
motor and send it to an authorized repair shop for
bearing inspection/replacement. If no moisture is
present, refer to the motor manufacturer’s lubrication
recommendation for proper lubrication.
8 If the unit was ordered with Factory Mounted
Controls, locate all sensors. These components
will be shipped inside the control enclosure.
9 If the unit shipped in subassemblies, locate
assembly hardware. The necessary assembly
hardware will be packaged inside the fan section
or the mixing section.
Resolving Shipping Damage
The T-Series Climate Changer ships FOB. If damage
has occurred to the unit sections during shipment,
the following instructions should be completed:
1 Make specific notation describing the damage on
the freight bill.
2 Report all claims of shipping damage to the
delivering carrier immediately.

CAUTION
Do NOT lift from the top of the unit.
Lift only from lift lugs located at
the bottom of the unit. Use all lift
lugs provided. Failure to do so can
damage the unit.
The unit will be shipped (as specified by sales order)
as 1) a complete assembly, 2) in sub-assemblies
(collection of sections), or 3) as individual sections.
Follow appropriate lift warnings as shown on the
label affixed to the unit.
Determine Unit Weights
WARNING
Weights in this manual are approximate. Always test-
lift the unit section to check for proper balance and
rigging before hoisting to the desired location.
Never bolt (assemble) sections or
sub-assemblies together before
rigging. Always rig subassem-
blies or sections as received from
the factory.
When preparing to lift sections, estimate the
equipment’s approximate weight and center of
gravity. Refer to the tables listed below and placed on
the following pages. Due to placement of internal
components, the weight of the unit may be unevenly
distributed, with more weight being present in the fan
and coil areas)

Component Installation Requirements
The T-Series Climate Changer is extremely versatile
and the assembled unit is a complete air handling
system. Each section may have installation
requirements that will affect the performance of the
unit.
Fan Section
The Fan section can be configured as either draw-
thru or blow-thru. Review the submittals and unit
tagging prior to assembly.
High Efficiency Bag and Cartridge Filter Section
The fan and motor assembly are internally isolated.
The fan and motor bases are bolted to four spring
isolators (see Figure 19 ). The isolators are secured
to the fan section support base. Four (4) shipping tie-
downs are bolted adjacent to the isolators between
the fan isolation base and the support frame.
The Bag and Cartridge Filter sections can be used as
either a pre-filter section, a Final Filter section or
both. This is determined by placement in relation to
the fan.
Filter Installation
The shipping tie-downs secure the isolation base to
the support assembly to prevent any damage to the
fan section during shipment of the air handler. The
shipping spacers must be removed prior to unit
operation unless the unit is to be externally isolated.
NOTE: CARTRIDGE AND BAG FILTERS PROVIDED BY
TRANE ARE FITTED WITH A 7/8” HEADER THAT FITS
IN THE FILTER TRACK. IF USING FILTERS SUPPLIED
BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER, FILTERS SHOULD
BE PURCHASED WITH A 7/8” HEADER. IN SOME
CASES IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO GASKET THE
LOCALLY PURCHASED FILTERS TO INSURE A GOOD
AIR SEAL.
FILTERS SHOULD BE INSTALLED WHEN THE UNIT IS
SET. THIS WILL PROTECT INTERNAL COMPONENTS
SUCH AS THE UNIT’S HEATING AND COOLING COILS.
Trane recommends the use of disposable pre-filters
with high efficiency filters. Disposable pre-filters slide
into the mounting tracks just ahead of the bag/
cartridge filters.
WARNING
Pressurized Cabinet!
Disconnect all electric power
before opening door. Failure to
disconnect power before servicing
can cause severe personal injury.
1 Disconnect the power to the unit.
2 Open the filter section access door.
3 Remove the adjustable block-off from the filter
track.
4 Slide the filters into the tracks. Note that bag filters
must be installed with the pleats in the vertical
plane.
5 Slide the adjustable block-offs into the filter track.
The block-off is intended to make a seal when the
access door is closed. It is adjustable and may
require a few changes to insure a proper seal.

Unit Isolation
Review the mechanical specifications and determine
the type of isolation to be used prior to removing the
shipping tie-downs. Remove the tie-downs only if the
factory provided isolation is to be used. If external
isolation is intended, review the portion of this
manual titled “External Isolation.”
Internal Isolation
The T-Series Climate Changer Fan section is
internally isolated. The unit ships with the internal
isolation base secured to prevent damage to the fan
and motor assembly during shipment. To activate the
isolation, remove the shipping tie-downs.
Shipping Tie-down Removal
There are four types of shipping tie-downs used to
secure the isolation base:
q Sizes 3 - 8 use a 3/8”x1” pipe. (See Figure 18 .)
q Sizes 10 - 30, except plug fans, use washers with
a bolt. (See Figure 18 .)
q Sizes 35 - 50, except plug fans, use a tie-down
bolt and shim. (See Figure 18 .)
q Size 66 -100 and plug fans use a tie-down angle
and bolt. (See Figure 19 .)

Traq Damper Terminal Connections.
Traq Dampers
Traq dampers are fitted in mixing sections in several
possible configurations. These low leak dampers
modulate and measure air flow.
VCM
Each Traq damper section is supplied with a factory-
mounted ventilation control module (VCM) on the
interior of the mixing box. The VCM has an input
terminal for power and an output terminal for air
velocity. (See Figure 22 .)

The 2 - 10 VDC linear output signal from the VCM
represents air velocity. This voltage can be converted
to represent cfm or L/s using the formula and Table
26 following. For example, if the VCM on a Size 21
T-Series Climate Changer has a 10-volt signal, it
would represent 16650 cfm (7859 L/s) through the
Traq damper. If this voltage is 6 volts, air flow through
the Traq damper would be 8325 cfm (3930 L/s).

Duct Connections
All duct connections to the T-Series Climate Changer
should be installed in accordance with the standards
of the National Fire Protection Association(NFPA) for
installing of air conditioning and ventilating systems
other than residence type (NFPA 90A), and
residence type warm air heating and air conditioning
systems (NFPA 90B).
Inlet Guide Vanes
Inlet guide vanes can be provided with factory
mounted actuator motors when ordered with factory
mounted controls or end devices. If actuators are not
ordered factory mounted, it is the responsibility of the
contractor to provided the actuator and all mounting
hardware.
See unit submittal documentation for additional duct
mounting information.
The Inlet guide vanes are designed for the actuators
to be internally mounted in the fan section. Size the
actuators based on operating torque requirements.
To ensure the highest fan efficiency, duct turns and
transitions must be made carefully minimizing air
friction losses and turbulence. Proper duct work

Fan Discharge Connections
Section
Airflow
When using lined duct, the insulation should not
obstruct the discharge opening. (See Figure 24 .)
Connections made directly to the discharge opening
of the fan should have a minimum of 3 fan diameters
of straight duct before any turns or transitions. The
first turn of the connection should be in the same
direction as the fan rotation. The air that the fan
discharges into the duct is extremely turbulent and
requires some length of duct to stabilize. Abrupt
changes in duct work directly off the fan discharge
will affect fan performance.

Standard damper sections include mixing sections,
filter mixing sections, face damper sections, internal
face and bypass sections, and economizer sections.
Airflow
Duct work attached to the standard damper sections
should be sized to fit the opening of the damper. This
information is provided in the submittals. When using
lined duct, ensure that the insulation does not
obstruct the damper opening. (See Figure 24 .)

Traq Dampers
Traq dampers are installed in mixing sections. Size

INTERNAL THREADS ON SIZES 66, 80, 100.
Discharge Plenum
Discharge plenum sections are available with or
without openings. Sections with openings have a
framed opening that can be used to secure the duct
to the frames. If the duct is lined, it is important that
the insulation does not obstruct the opening of the
section.
DRAIN PANS MUST BE PRIMED AT START-UP TO
OPERATE PROPERLY.
Miscellaneous Sections
Miscellaneous sections include access sections, coil
sections, fan sections and intake sections.
If the duct is lined, it is important that the insulation
does not obstruct the opening of the section.
Internal Face and Bypass
Duct connections for internal face and bypass
damper sections are similar to the miscellaneous
sections. Duct work can be attached directly to this
frame.
Drain Pan
Piping
Condensate Drain Pan Connections
CAUTION
Failure to provide adequate con-
densate piping may result in water
damage to the equipment and or
building.
Threaded condensate drain connections are
provided on only one side of the coil section. Pitch
the connection lines horizontal or downward toward
an open drain. Trane recommends installing a plug to
facilitate cleaning of the trap.
IMPORTANT: PROPER TRAPPING OF THE COOLING
COIL CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES IS NECESSARY
FOR PROPER CONDENSATE MANAGEMENT.
IMPROPER TRAPPING CAN RESULT IN STANDING
WATER INSIDE THE UNIT OR WET INTERIOR
SURFACES THAT CAN CAUSE UNPLEASANT ODORS
AND SERIOUS HEALTH-RELATED INDOOR AIR
QUALITY PROBLEMS.
It is essential that the drain pan condensate trap be
deep enough and of the correct design to ensure a
water seal in the trap while allowing the condensate
pan to drain. Insufficient depth or incorrect design
can cause the drain pan to overflow.

The positive pressure section requires a different
design than the negative pressure trap. Refer to
Figure 27 and the formula provided to determine the
minimum trap depth.

Units With More Than One Drain Pan
the unit. The contractor should supply the pipe
nipples, couplings, etc.for installation.
With the T-Series Climate Changer, each section can
be ordered with or without a drain pan. When more
than one section has a drain pan, you must trap each
section individually. Connecting all drains to a
common line with only one trap will result in
condensate retention, and possible water damage to
the air handler or adjoining space.
NOTE: WHEN USING ELECTRONIC VALVE
ACTUATORS ON CHILLED WATER VALVES, THE
VALVE SHOULD BE MOUNTED ABOVE THE
HORIZONTAL POSITION TO PREVENT COLLECTION
OF CONDENSATE IN THE ACTUATOR ELECTRONIC
CIRCUITS AND SUBSEQUENT ACTUATOR FAILURE.
WHEN USING ELECTRONIC VALVE ACTUATORS ON
HOT WATER OR STEAM COILS, THE ACTUATOR
SHOULD BE INSTALLED APPROXIMATELY 45
DEGREES FROM VERTICAL. VERTICAL
INSTALLATION OF A VALVE ACTUATOR ON A HOT
WATER OR STEAM COIL WILL EXPOSE THE
ACTUATOR TO HIGH TEMPERATURES, RESULTING
IN ACTUATOR FAILURE.
If a section has a drain pan for cleaning purposes
only, it does not need a trap; however a cap or shut
off valve should be installed on the drain connection.
Only sections handling condensate, such as a
cooling coil section or eliminator section, require a
trap. Figure 28 through Figure 37 are examples of
typical installations.
THE EXTERNAL CABINET IS ONLY SUFFICIENTLY
SIZED FOR HOUSING COIL PIPING. ALL VALVES AND
VALVE ACTUATORS MUST BE LOCATED
ELSEWHERE.
Coil Piping And Connections
See Table 27 through Table 29 for connection sizes.
For supply, vent and drain connections, refer to
Figure 28 through Figure 37 .
For best results, The Trane Company recommends
that a short pipe nipple be used on the coil headers
prior to making any welded flange or welded elbow
type connections.
NOTE: DRAIN AND VENT CONNECTIONS ARE
PROVIDED AS STANDARD ON UW, UU, DD, AND D
COILS ONLY. ALL OTHERS, IF REQUIRED, MUST BE
FIELD INSTALLED.
IMPORTANT: TEFLON TAPE OR PIPING COMPOUND
SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANY FIELD
CONNECTIONS BECAUSE ITS HIGH LUBRICITY MAY
ALLOW CONNECTIONS TO BE OVER-TIGHTENED,
RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE COIL HEADER.
NOTE: DRAIN AND VENT CONNECTIONS ON THE UU
AND UW COILS ARE RECESSED. IF EXTENDED
DRAINS AND VENTS ARE REQUIRED, THEY MUST BE
FIELD PROVIDED.
NOTE: USE A BACK-UP WRENCH WHEN ATTACHING
PIPING TO COILS WITH TUBE HEADER
CONSTRUCTION TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE COIL
HEADER. DO NOT USE BRASS CONNECTORS. BRASS
DISTORTS EASILY AND COULD CAUSE CONNECTION
LEAKS.
General Coil Piping Recommendations
Proper installation, piping and trapping is necessary
to ensure satisfactory coil operation and to prevent
operational damage.
q Support all piping independently of the coils.
When attaching the piping to the coil header, make
the connection only tight enough to prevent leaks.
Maximum recommended torque is 200 pound-feet.
q Provide swing joints or flexible fittings on all
connections that are adjacent to heating coils in
order to absorb thermal expansion and
contraction strains.
Use pipe sealer on all thread connections.
q If ordered with factory mounted controls, install
After completing the piping connections, use mastic
to seal between the pipe and casing before insulating
the pipe.

NOTE: THE PIPING PENETRATION INTO THE UNIT
CASING MUST BE SEALED BEFORE INSULATING.
FAILURE TO SEAL THE PENETRATION WILL PERMIT
INFILTRATION OF UNCONDITIONED AIR INTO THE
SECTION.
When subjected to freezing temperatures, provisions
must be made to protect coils that are not in use. See
section titled “Coil Winterization.”
NOTE: IF GLYCOL IS USED IN THE CHILLED WATER
OR HOT WATER SYSTEMS, BE SURE TO USE A
GLYCOL APPROVED FOR USE WITH COMMERCIAL
COOLING SYSTEMS AND COPPER TUBE COILS.
FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WATER TREATMENT AND
MIX. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD AFFECT COIL
PERFORMANCE OR DAMAGE THE TUBES OR BRAZE
JOINTS.
Coils should be installed with field fitted drains and
vents to permit winterization of coils not in use, and
to assist in evacuating air from the chilled water
system during start-up.

T-Series Climate Changers fitted with steam coils
have labeled holes for piping penetrations. Check
that the coil is installed correctly and that the unit
installation agrees with the submittals.
Proper steam trap selection and installation is
necessary for satisfactory coil performance and
service life. For installation, use the following steps:
1 Install the steam trap discharge 12 inches below
the condensate return connection. 12 inches
provides sufficient hydrostatic head pressure to
overcome trap losses and ensures complete
condensate removal.
Refer to Figure 38 for typical steam coil piping.
CAUTION
Condensate must flow freely from
the coil to prevent coil damage
from water hammer, unequal ther-
mal stresses, freeze-up damage
and corrosion. Complete the fol-
lowing recommendations to pre-
vent damage:
*
*
Use float and thermostatic traps with
atmospheric pressure gravity condensate
return, with automatic controls or where the
possibility of low pressure supply steam exists.
Float and thermostatic traps are recommended
because of gravity drain and continuous
discharge operation.
Use bucket traps ONLY when the supply
steam is not modulated and 25 psig or higher.
1 Install a 1/2” 15 swing-check vacuum breaker in
the unused condensate return connection at the
top of the coil. This vacuum breaker should be
installed as close to the coil as possible.
2 Trap each coil separately to prevent holding up
condensate in one or more of the coils.
2 Vent the vacuum breaker to the atmosphere or
pipe it to the return main at the discharge side of
the steam trap.
3 Install strainers as close as possible to the inlet
side of the trap.
4 If installing coils in series airflow, control each coil
bank independently with a automatic steam
control valve. Size the traps for each coil using the
capacity of the first coil in direction of airflow.
NOTE: VACUUM BREAKER RELIEF IS MANDATORY
WHEN THE COIL IS CONTROLLED BY A MODULATING
STEAM SUPPLY OR TWO-POSITION (ON-OFF)
AUTOMATIC STEAM SUPPLY VALVE. VACUUM
BREAKER RELIEF IS ALSO RECOMMENDED WHEN
FACE AND BYPASS CONTROL IS USED.
5 Use a V-Port modulating valve to obtain gradual
modulation of the coil steam supply.
6 Do not modulate systems with overhead or
pressurized returns unless the condensate is
drained by gravity into a receiver, vented to
atmosphere and returned to the condensate
pump.
CAUTION
The 1/2” 15 swing-check vacuum
breaker is recommended because
of the low cracking pressure of 3-
to 5-inches of water. Some other
vacuum breakers, such as spring
loaded ball-check vacuum break-
ers, have cracking pressures as
high as 17-inches of water. Substi-
tution of the 1/2” 15 swing-check
vacuum breaker could result in
damage to the coil by preventing
proper evacuation of condensate
from the coil.
7 Slowly turn the steam on full for at least 10
minutes before opening the fresh air intake on
units with fresh air dampers.
8 Pitch all supply and return steam piping down 1-
inch per 10 feet in the direction of the steam or
condensate flow.
9 Do not drain the steam mains or take-offs through
the coils. Drain the mains ahead of the coils
through a steam trap to the return line.
10 Assure continuous condensate removal.
Overhead returns require 1 psig of pressure at the
steam trap discharge for each 2-foot elevation.
The coil condensate return line must be piped full
size of the condensate trap connection, except for a
short nipple screwed directly into the coil headers
condensate return tapping. Do not bush or reduce
the coil return tapping size.

IMPORTANT: REFER TO THE NOTE ON THE INSIDE
FRONT COVER OF THIS MANUAL REGARDING
HANDLING OF REFRIGERANTS
Liquid Line Components
Trane recommends the use of a properly sized liquid
line filter-drier installed upstream from the expansion
valve and as close to the evaporator coil as possible.
Base filter-drier selection on a maximum pressure

superheat/subcooling measurements.
5 Adjust the thermal expansion valve setting if
necessary.
2 Size liquid line shutoff valve with an access port
using the selected liquid line OD, and install it
close to the condenser.
3 Minimize use of other valves, tube bends and
reducers since these items tend to increase
pressure drop and to reduce subcooling at the
expansion valve. Liquid line receivers, other than
those factory-installed, are not recommended.
4 The Thermal Expansion Valve (TEV) must be
selected for proper size and capacity. The size of
the TEV should cover the full range of loadings.
Check that the valve will successfully operate at
the lightest load condition. Also consider the use
of a hot gas bypass valve when sizing the TEV.
Select expansion valves with external equalizer
connections, and those designed to operate
against a back pressure of 20 pounds per square
inch higher than actual evaporator pressure.
5 Install the TEV directly on the coil liquid
connection (distributor) provided. The liquid
distributor must be in a true vertical position.
CAUTION
Disassemble the thermal expan-
sion valve before completing the
brazing connections. If necessary,
wrap the valve in a cool, wet cloth
while brazing. Failure to protect
the valve from high temperatures
may result in damage to the inter-
nal components.

Suction Line Components
Install suction line pressure tap on the leaving side of
the evaporator coil near the TEV sensing bulb
location. Accurate superheat measurement and
thermal expansion valve adjustment demands that
suction pressure be measured near the evaporator
coil.
Usually, suction line filter-driers are only necessary
on systems that have experienced a severe
compressor motor burnout or other failure which
results in extremely high refrigerant temperature. Do
not leave this filter-drier in the suction line
permanently.
Liquid Line Sizing
All compressors have a Refrigerant Charge Limit
(RCL) that must not be exceeded. Since the RCL
and pressure drop are in direct conflict with each
other, Trane recommends that the liquid line be sized
as small as possible, while maintaining a low enough
pressure drop to ensure 5°F of subcooling at the
expansion valve.
Suction Line Sizing
Suction line tubes must be sized to maintain
refrigerant vapor velocities that are high enough to
ensure oil entertainment under all operating
conditions.
It is not necessary to pitch horizontal suction lines
toward the compressor when the refrigerant coil is
used with Trane condensing units that are designed
with a gas trap in the suction line just prior to the
compressor.

Wiring
For typical field wiring to units with DDC:
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power
source before servicing the unit or
connecting electrical wires.
q Provide 120 VAC power for control. A dedicated
circuit is recommended. Units with a factory-
mounted starter or VFD do not require this circuit
as they are powered by the oversized control
transformer in the starter or VFD.
Failure to do so may result in per-
sonal injury or death from electrical
shock or entanglement in moving
parts. If the unit includes a factory-
mounted starter, use of the lockout/
tagout on the disconnect is required
while servicing the unit.
q If unit ships in multiple sections, fasten quick
connects (Figure 23 ) before sections bolt
together.
q Field mount and wire outside air sensor and
space sensor, if ordered.
If the unit does not include a factory-mounted starter,
wiring to the unit fan motor must be provided by the
installer and must comply with all national and local
electrical codes. The installer must also furnish a
fused disconnect switch in compliance with national
and local electrical codes. Fan motors require
overload protective devices rated or selected in
compliance with the National Electric Code or
Canadian Electric Code. Specific unit and motor
connection diagrams are attached to the unit.
CAUTION
Use copper conductors only for
terminal connections. Use of alu-
minum or other type of wiring may
result in galvanic corrosion or
overheating and resultant equip-
ment damage.
Fan motors require motor overload protective
devices that are rated or selected in compliance with
the National Electric Code or Canadian Electric
Code. Specific unit and motor connection diagrams
are provided on the unit. If wiring directly to the
motor, a flexible connection at the motor to permit fan
belt adjustment should be provided. Fractional
horsepower motors may be factory connected to a
terminal box on the unit. If this construction is
provided, the installer should complete field wiring to
this connection box.

If the unit was stored for an extended period of time,
the following items should be checked before starting
the unit.
4 Check that all air filters are in place and
positioned properly. Under Periodic Maintenance,
see section titled “Air Filters.”
1 Inspect motor bearings for moisture and rust.
Replace bearings if necessary and repack with
new grease.
NOTE: UL-LISTED UNITS REQUIRE A “TOOL-ONLY”
REMOVABLE LATCH ON ACCESS DOORS. THE
HANDLE TIE-DOWN SCREW SHIPPED WITH THE UNIT
MEETS THIS REQUIREMENT, AND SHOULD REMAIN

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION MUST BE CORRECTED TO
PREVENT BEARING AND SHAFT DAMAGE. SEE THE
SECTION TITLED “TROUBLESHOOTING” FOR
DETAILS ON THE COMMON CAUSES FOR VIBRATION.
Determine Fan RPM
Fan Belt Alignment
Fan rpm can be determined by using a strobe-type
tachometer, or revolution counter.
Tighten the belts slightly and rotate the drive several
times.
On multiple belt drives, determine that the force of
deflection is approximately the same on each belt by
pushing each belt in an equal distance at a point
halfway from each sheave. If this force is not the
same for each belt, the motor and fan shaft are not
parallel. Realign as required.
Sheave Alignment
Align the fan and motor sheaves by using a
straightedge. The straightedge must be long enough
to span the distance between the outside edges of
the sheaves. When the sheaves are aligned, the
straightedge will touch both sheaves at points A
through D to confirm that the shaft is parallel. For
uneven width sheaves, place a string in the center
groove of both sheaves and pull tight. Adjust
After realignment, tighten the belts again to the
standard belt tensioning specifications. See the
following section.

Over-tensioning of belts can cause damage to
bearings, shafts, and drive components. Belts should
not squeal at start-up. Belt tension should be
rechecked after 8 hours, 24 hours, and 100 hours of
operation and monthly thereafter. When the belt is in
operation, the tight side of the belt should form a
straight line from sheave with only a slight bow on the
slack side.

Proper belt tension is required to ensure maximum
bearing and drive component life and is based on fan
brake horsepower requirement. Use Table 47 to find
the proper belt tension and refer to the inset for an
example. To use the table, you must know:
q Fan design brake horsepower (bhp) per belt (not
motor hp)
q Fan rpm

NOTE: THERE IS A LABEL LOCATED ON THE
BEARING SUPPORT ON THE DRIVE SIDE OF THE
UNIT THAT LISTS ALL DRIVE PARTS AND THE
PROPER BELT TENSION FOR THE SPECIFIC DRIVE.
As shown in the example of Table 47 , the correct
tension (pounds force) is 9.6 pounds, at 1/2-inch
deflection. Deflection is determined by dividing the
belt span distance by 64, as shown in Figure 48 .
To measure belt tension, use a belt tensiometer as
shown in Figure 49 . Determine actual deflection by
depressing one belt with the belt tensiometer and
measuring the deflection relative to the other belts or
to belt line. Adjust the belt tension to the correct
pounds force and tighten all set screws to the proper
torque. (See Table 47 .)
CAUTION
Do not over-tension the belts.
Excessive tension will reduce fan
and motor bearing life, accelerate
belt wear and possibly cause shaft
failure.
For belt cross-section types not given in Table 47 ,
use the following equations to calculate correct belt
tension.
F = (T + K)/16
where
F = force measured in pounds at specific deflection.
K = constant determined by belt cross-section type.
T =24,750 (fan hp per belt)/ belt speed
Belt speed = ((fan pitch diameter)/12) X 3.1416 X
fan rpm
For example, given the following:
Motor sheave pitch diameter: 5.7 inches, eight groove
Fan sheave pitch diameter: 10.0 inches, eight groove
Fan horsepower: 2.4 bhp
Fan rpm: 1000 rpm
Belt type: C
Sheave span: 32 inches
Belt speed = (10/12) X 3.14 X 1000 = 2618
T = (24,750 X (24 bhp/2 belts)/2618 = 113.4 lb
F = (13.4 + 40)/16 = 9.6 lb.
Also, D =(Belt span (inches))/64 = 32/64 =.50 in.
Therefore, the belt tensiometer should read 11.5
pounds force at 15/16-inch deflection. This will yield
159.4 pounds force belt tension.
Belt tensions determined by using Table 46 are
minimum values. The correct operating tension for a
V-belt drive is the lowest tension at which the belts
will not slip under the peak load conditions. It may be
necessary, however, to increase the tension of some
drives to reduce excessive belt flopping or to reduce
excessive start-up squealing.

intervals. Motor lubrication instructions are found on
the motor tag or nameplate. For a list of compatible
greases, see Table 49 .
Coil Cleaning
The frequency of required cleaning is dependent on
the operating hours of the system, filter maintenance
and efficiency and dirt load.

5 Use a steam cleaning machine, starting from the
top of the coil and working downward. Clean the
leaving air side of the coil first, then the entering
air side. Use a block-off to prevent steam from
blowing through the coil and into a dry section of
the unit.

q Spray perpendicular to the coil face.
q Protect other areas of the air handler and internal
controls from contact with moisture or the

Type K cooling coils
Type K cooling coils have removable headers for
cleaning. A small nylon or fiber brush may be used to
clean the tubes. After cleaning, flush with water.
When removing any header, replace the rubber
sealing gasket and be sure that it seats properly
when header is installed. If necessary, pull out
turbulators, clean the tubes and replace turbulators.
When header covers are replaced, apply washers
under the bolt heads. Bolts should be evenly
tightened to 50 pound-feet of torque.
q Keep the nozzle at least 6 inches from the coil.
q Do not exceed 600 psi.
4 Spray the leaving air side of the coil first, then the
entering air side. Use a block-off to prevent spray
from going through the coil and into a dry section
of the unit and/or system ductwork. Carefully
follow the cleaning solution manufactures usage

Coil Winterization
Provisions must be made to drain coils that are not in
use when subjected to freezing temperatures. Coil
type NS may be adequately drained in its pitched
position within the unit and the installer must provide
appropriate piping for adequate drainage.
Coil types UU, D, DD, (provided with drain and vent)
K, W, WC, and P can be adequately drained as
installed in their level position.
CAUTION
Failure to properly drain and vent
coils when not in use during freez-
ing temperatures may result in coil
freeze-up damage.
CAUTION
Use caution in removing header
plugs from P2, P4 and P8 coils.
Over torquing may result in
twisted tubes.
Type UW Coil - (Leveled/pitched— not fully
drainable)
Remove the vent and drain plugs and blow the coils
out as completely as possible with compressed air.
The coils should then be filled and drained several
times with full strength inhibited ethylene glycol, so
that it will mix thoroughly with the water retained in
the coil. Drain the coil out as completely as possible.
Type K Coils
To winterize Type K coils, remove the header covers.
If tubes are fouled, clean with nylon or fiber brush. To
ensure that no water will remain in the coil, do not
replace the header covers until the coils are put back
into service. When the coils are put back into service,
new gaskets must be used. When header covers are
replaced, apply washers under the bolt heads and
tighten bolts evenly to 50 pound-feet. Bolts should be
