General
Information
To ensure proper lubrication and
prevent refrigerant from condensing
in the oil tank, a 750-watt heater is
immersed in the oil tank and is used
to warm the oil while the unit is off.
When the unit starts, the oil heater is
de-energized. This heater energizes
as needed to maintain 140° to 145° F
(60-63°C) when the chiller is not
running.
A dual eductor system is used to
reclaim oil from the suction cover
and the evaporator, and deposit it
back into the oil tank. These eductors
use high pressure condenser gas to
draw the oil from the suction cover
and evaporator to the eductors and
then discharged into the oil tank. The
evaporator eductor line has a shut off
valve mounted by the evaporator and
ships closed. Open two turns if
necessary.
Oil and Refrigeration Pump
Compressor Lubrication System -
A schematic diagram of the
compressor lubrication system is
illustrated in Figure 12.
Oil is pumped from the oil tank (by a
pump and motor located within the
tank) through an oil pressure-
regulating valve designed to maintain
a net oil pressure of 18 to 22 psid. It
is then filtered and sent to the oil
cooler located in the economizer and
on to the bearings. From the
When the chiller is operating, the
temperature of the oil tank is typically
115° to 160°F (46-72°C). The oil return
lines from the thrust and journal
bearings, transport oil and some seal
leakage refrigerant. The oil return
lines are routed into a manifold
under the motor. Gas flow exits the
top of the manifold and is vented to
the Evaporator. A vent line solenoid
is not needed with the refrigerant
pump. Oil exits the bottom of the
manifold and returns to the tank.
Separation of the seal leakage gas in
the manifold keeps this gas out of the
tank.
Liquid refrigerant is used to cool the
oil supply to both the thrust bearing
and journal bearings. On refrigerant
pump units the oil cooler is located
inside the economizer and uses
refrigerant passing from the
condenser to evaporator to cool the
oil. Oil leaves the oil cooler and
flows to both the thrust and journal
bearings.
bearings, the oil drains back to the
manifold under the motor and then
on to the oil tank.
CAUTION
Surface Temperatures!
MAY EXCEED 150°F. Use caution
while working on certain areas of
the unit, failure to do so may result
in minor or moderate injury.
Motor Cooling System
Compressor motors are cooled with
liquid refrigerant, see Figure 12.
The refrigerant pump is located on
the front of the oil tank (motor inside
the oil tank). The refrigerant pump
inlet is connected to the well at the
bottom of the condenser. The
connection is on the side where a
weir assures a preferential supply of
liquid. Refrigerant is delivered to the
motor via the pump. Motor
refrigerant drain lines are routed to
the condenser.

Base Loading Control
Algorithm:
This feature allows an external
controller to directly modulate the
capacity of the chiller. It is typically
used in applications where virtually
infinite sources of evaporator load
and condenser capacity are available
and it is desirable to control the
loading of the chiller. Two examples
are industrial process applications
and cogeneration plants. Industrial
process applications might use this
feature to impose a specific load on
the facility’s elecrical system.
Cogeneration plants might use this
feature to balance the system’s
heating, cooling and electrical
generation.
Base loading can occur via Tracer,
External signal, or front panel.
Tracer Base Loading:
Current Setpoint Range:
(20 - 100) percent RLA
Requires Tracer and Optional Tracer
Communications Module (LLID)
The Tracer commands the chiller to
enter the base load mode by sending
the base load mode request. If the
chiller is not running, it will start
regardless of the differential to start
(either chilled water or hot water). If
the chiller is already running, it will
continue to run regardless of the
differential to stop (either chilled
water or hot water), using the base
load control algorithm. While the unit
is running in base loading, it will
report that status back to the Tracer
by setting “Base Load Status = true”
in the Tracer Status Byte. When the
Tracer removes the base load mode
request (sets the bit to 0). The unit
will continue to run, using the
All chiller safeties and adaptive
control functions are in full effect
when Base Loading control is

Adaptive Control logic limits the
loading of the chiller to prevent the
chiller from shutting down on a

the chiller from reaching the load

signal.
simultaneously, ice making takes
precedence.
An alternative and less radical
approach to Base Loading indirectly
controls chiller capacity. Artifically
load the chiller by setting the chilled
water setpoint lower than it is
capable of achieving. Then, modify
the chiller’s load by adjusting the
current limit setpoint. This method
provides greater safety and control
stability in the operation of the chiller
because it has the advantage of
leaving the chilled water temperature
control logic in effect. The chilled
water temperature control logic

changes, and can limit the chiller

algorithm, and will turn off, only
when the differential to stop has been
satisfied.
Base Loading Control is basically a
variation of the current limit
algorithm. During base loading, the
leaving water control algorithm
provides a load command every 5
seconds. The current limit routine
may limit the loading when the
current is below setpoint. When the
current is within the deadband of the
setpoint the current limit algorithm
holds against this loading command.

running, the shutoff valves in the
liquid and gas lines open; unit
control logic prevents the
compressor from energizing during
free cooling. Liquid refrigerant then
drains (by gravity) from the storage
tank into the evaporator and floods
the tube bundle. Since the
temperature and pressure of the
refrigerant in the evaporator are
higher than in the condenser (i.e.,
because of the difference in water
temperature), the refrigerant in the
evaporator vaporizes and travels to
the condenser. Cooling tower water

the condensed refrigerant initially
follows the path of least resistance by
flowing into the storage tank. This
tank is vented to the economizer
sump through a small bleed line;
when the storage tank is full, liquid
refrigerant must flow through the
bleed line restriction. Because the
pressure drop through the bleed line
is greater than that of the orifice flow
control device, the liquid refrigerant
flows normally from the condenser
through the orifice system and into
the economizer.

General
Information
The DynaView™ Main Processor
provides the hot water temperature
control mode as standard. The
leaving condenser water temperature
is controlled to a hot water setpoint
between 80 and 140°F (26.7 to 60°C)
The leaving evaporator water
temperature is left to drift to satisfy
the heating load of the condenser. In
this application the evaporator is
normally piped into a lake, well, or
other source of constant temperature
water for the purpose of extracting
heat.
An external binary input to select
external hot water control mode is on
the EXOP OPTIONAL module 1A18
terminals J2-3 to J2-4 (ground). Tracer
also has a binary input to select
chilled water control or hot water
temperature control.
Hot Water control
Occasionally CTV chillers are
selected to provide heating as a
primary mission. With hot water
temperature control, the chiller can
be used as a heating source or
cooling source. This feature provides
greater application flexibility. In this
case the operator selects a hot water
temperature and the chiller capacity
is modulated to maintain the hot
water setpoint. Heating is the primary
mission and cooling is a waste
product or is a secondary mission.
This type of operation requires an
endless source of evaporator load
(heat), such as well or lake water. The
chiller has only one condenser.
There is no additional leaving hot
water temperature cutout; the HPC
and condenser limit provide for high
temperature and pressure protection.
In hot water temperature control the
softloading pulldown rate limit
operates as a softloading pullup rate
limit. The setpoint for setting the
temperature rate limit is the same
setpoint for normal cooling as it is
for hot water temperature control.
In hot water temperature control
mode all the limit modes and
diagnostics operate as in normal
cooling with one exception; The
leaving condenser water temperature
sensor is an MMR diagnostic when
in hot water temperature control
mode. (It is an informational warning
in the normal cooling mode.)
Note: Hot water temperature control
mode does not convert the chiller to
a heat pump. Heat pump refers to the
capability to change from a cooling-
driven application to a heating-driven
application by changing the
refrigerant path on the chiller. This is
impractical for centrifugal chillers as
it would be much easier to switch
over the water side.
The hot water temperature control
feature is not designed to run with
HGBP, AFD, free cooling, or ice
making.
The factory set PID tuning values for
the leaving water temperature control
are the same settings for both normal
cooling and hot water temperature
control.
In the hot water temperature control
mode the differential-to-start and
differential-to-stop setpoints are used
with respect to the hot water setpoint
instead of with the chilled water
setpoint.
This is NOT heat recovery. Although
this feature could be used to recover
heat in some form, there is a second
heat exchanger on the condenser
side.
UCP provides a separate entry at the
DV to set the hot water setpoint.
Tracer is also able to set the hot
water setpoint. In the hot water mode
the external chilled water setpoint is

is, a single analog input is shared at

physically identical to the standard
cooling condenser, the heat-recovery
condenser is piped into a heat circuit
rather than to the cooling tower.
During the heat recovery cycle, the
unit operates just as it does in the
‘‘cooling only’’ mode except that the
cooling load heat is rejected to the
heating water circuit rather than to
applications where hot water is
needed for use in kitchens,
lavatories, etc. While the operation of
the auxiliary condenser is physically
identical to that of the heat-recovery
condenser, it is comparatively

the current limit setpoint that is
currently in use. It will be displayed
in percent RLA. Touching the double
arrow to the left of the Active Current
Limit Setpoint will take the user to
the active current limit setpoint sub-
screen. The active current limit
setpoint is that setpoint to which the

Interprocessor
Communication
Node Zero:
Inter Processor
Node number zero is is a special
node assignment that is reserved for
devices that are service selected. A
LLID communicating on node
address zero will also communicate
on an assigned node address. A LLID
will only communicate on node
address zero if it is service selected.
Communications IPC3
When using Tracer CH530, you will
not be required to know all the
details about the structure of the IPC3
bus. However this page gives
detailed information about the
system for those of you that are really
interested in how it works. The IPC3
protocol is based on RS485 signal
technology. IPC3 was designed to be
very efficient. It communicates at 19.2
Kbaud. This data rate will allow for
three rounds of data per second on a
64 device network. A typical CVHE
control network will have less than
50 devices. IPC3 allows for a
Binding:
Binding is the process of assigning a
node number and functional IDs to a
LLID. Binding is a simple process:
1. Service selecting the LLID with a
magnet.
2. Assigning functional IDs to that
LLID with TechView™.
maximum of 255 devices per
network.
Functional Identification:
When each LLID on the bus is bound,
its inputs and outputs are given a
functional ID. The Frame LLIDS have
only one functional ID, but most
Panel LLIDs have more than one
functional ID. A dual high voltage
binary input will have two functional
IDs, a quad relay output has four
functional IDs.
IPC3 Definitions:
Bus Management:
The DynaView™ provides the bus
management having the task of
restarting the link, or filling in for
missing nodes when the normal
communication has been degraded.
This involves reassigning node
addresses and filling in for nodes
that are off-line. The DynaView™
always has a node number of 01.
The DynaView™ Main Processor with
its IPC3 Bus communicates to the
control panel devices, unit mounted
devices, and any remote devices on
the IPC3 bus network. The various
devices are discussed in the
Node Assignment:
When a unit is factory
commissioned, the LLIDS must have
their node addresses assigned to
them for storage in non-volatile
memory. The node addresses are
normally assigned sequentially
during factory commissioning.

Condenser Pressure Indication
Output is based on the Saturated
Condenser Refrigerant and a
temperature to pressure conversion
is made.
Refrigerant Pressure Output can be
configured at commissioning to
correspond to either A) the absolute
condenser pressure, or B) the
differential pressure of the evaporator
to condenser pressures.
If the Condenser Pressure sensor
goes out of range due to either an
open or short, a pressure sensor
diagnostic will be called and the
output will go to end of range low.
That is, for an out of range low on the
sensor, the output will be limited to
2.0 VDC. For an out of range high on
the sensor, the output will be limited
to 2.0 VDC.
If the Condenser Saturated

an open or short, a pressure sensor
diagnostic will be called and the
output will also go to the respective
out of range value. That is, for an out
of range low on the sensor, the

an out of range high on the sensor,
the output will be limited to 10.0

The External Current Limit is an
option that allows the current limit
setpoint to be changed from a remote
location. The External Limit Setpoint
is found on 1A16 J2-2 to J2-3
(ground), 2-10 vdc and 4-20 ma each

The External Chilled Water Setpoint
allows the chilled water setpoint to

The External Chilled Water Setpoint
is found on 1A16 J2-5 to J2-6

Control Sequence
of Operation
When less than 2.5 seconds remain
before compressor start, a starter test
is conducted to verify contactor
states prior to starting the
compressor. The following test or
start sequence is conducted for
‘‘Wye-Delta’’ starters: Also refer to
Figure 24.
G. If no diagnostics are generated in
the above tests, the Stop Relay (2A1-
J10) is closed for 2 seconds and the
Start Relay (2A1-J8) is closed to
energize the start contactor (2K1). The
shorting contactor (2K3) has already
been energized from (F) above. The
compressor motor (4M1) starts in the
‘‘Wye’’ configuration, an auxiliary
contact (2K1-AUX) locks in the start
contactor (2K1) coil.
L. The run contactor (2K2) is closed
through auxillary contacts on the
shorting contactor (2K3), shorting out
the transition resistors. This places
the compressor motor in the ‘‘Delta’’
configuration and the starter module
waits to look for this transition for
about 2.3 seconds through the
closure of the transition complete
contacts 2K2-Aux at module 2A1-J12
input)
A. Test for transition complete
contact open (2A1-J12-2) –160 to 240
msec. An MMR diagnostic will be
generated if the contact is closed.
H. After the compressor motor has
accelerated and the maximum phase
current has dropped below 85
percent of the chiller nameplate RLA
for 1.5 seconds, the starter transition
to the ‘‘Delta’’ configuration is
initiated.
M. The starter module must now
confirm closure of the transition
complete contact (2K2-AUX) within
2.5 seconds after the shorting relay
(2A1-J4) is opened. Finally, the
transition relay (2A1-J2) is opened de-
energizing the transition contactor
(2K4) and the compressor motor
starting sequence is complete. An
MMR diagnostic will be generated if
the transition complete contacts (2K2-
AUX) do not close. A diagram of this
test or start sequence is shown in
Figure 24.
B. Delay time - 20 msec.
C. Close start contactor (2K1) and
check for no current - 500 msec. If
currents are detected, the MMR
diagnostic ‘‘Starter Fault Type I’’ is
generated.
J. The transition contactor (2K4) is
closed through relay 2A1-J2, placing
the transition resistors (2R1, 2R2, and
2R3) in parallel with the compressor
motor windings. The run relay (2A1-
J6-3 to 1) is closed.
D. Stop relay (2A1-J10-3 to 1) closes
for one second for test “C” above.
E. Delay time - 200 msec. (Opens
2K1).
F. Close shorting contactor, (2K3) and
check for no current - one second. If
currents are detected the MMR
diagnostic ‘‘Starter Fault Type II’’ is
generated. (Starter Integrity test)
K. The shorting contactor (2K3) is
opened through the opening of relay
2A1-J4 100 msec after the closure of
the transition relay 2A1-J2, and the
run relay 2A1-J6.

Control Sequence
of Operation
If the STOP key is pressed on the
operator interface, the chiller will
follow the same stop sequence as
above except the chilled water pump
relay (1A5-J2) will also open and stop
the chilled water pump after the
chilled water pump delay timer has
timed out after compressor shut
down.
Now that the compressor motor
(4M1) is running in the ‘‘Delta’’
configuration, the inlet guide vanes
will modulate, opening and closing
to the chiller load variation by
operation of the stepper vane motor
actuator (4M2) to satisfy chilled water
setpoint. The chiller continues to run
in its appropriate mode of operation:
Normal, Softload, Limit Mode,
etcetera.
1. The inlet guide vanes are driven
closed up to 50 seconds.
2. After the inlet guide vanes are
closed, the stop relay (2A1-J10) and
the condenser water pump relays
(1A5-J2) open to turn off. The oil
and refrigerant pump motor (4B3)
will continue to run for 3 minutes
post lube while the compressor
coasts to a stop. The chilled water
pump will continue to run while
the Main processor module (1A22)
monitors leaving chilled water
temperature preparing for the next
compressor motor start based on
the ‘‘differential to start’’ setpoint.
If the “Immediate Stop” is initiated, a
panic stop occurs which follows the
same stop sequence as pressing the
STOP key once except the inlet guide
vanes are not sequence closed and
the compressor motor is immediately
turned off.
If the chilled water temperature drops
below the chilled water set point by
an amount set as the ‘‘differential to
stop’’ setpoint, a normal chiller stop
sequence is initiated as follows:

this limit is to avoid High Pressure

How It Works
The Tracer chiller controller uses a
patented, variable, water-flow
compensation algorithm to maintain
stable, precise capacity control.
Variable flow compensation is a new
optional control feature for CTV
chillers.
It will automatically adjust capacity
control to:
• Maintain control stability at low
flow.
• Reject variable-flow disturbance.
If the water-pressure transducer fails
and the flow switch continues to
prove flow, water-flow compensation
will be disabled and the design delta
T will be used.
For applications designed to operate
with variable-primary (VPF) water-
flow, variable flow compensation
allows the chiller to respond quickly
to accelerating or decelerating water.
By automatically adjusting the
control gain, large changes in the
water-flow rate can be tolerated.
For details, refer to CTV-PRC007-EN.

Low Oil Temperature Start Inhibit
The oil temperature is at or below the
low oil temperature start inhibit
setpoint (143°F/61.7°C). The heater is
energized to raise the oil temperature.
Low oil temperature is indicative of
refrigerant dilution in the oil. Oil
temperature is used to estimate this
dilution since the oil temperature
directly corresponds to amount of
refrigeration dilution in the oil. It is
required that oil contains minimal
refrigerant in it. This is accomplished
by boiling the refrigerant out of the
oil by maintaining a high enough oil
temperature.
The Low Oil Temperature Start Inhibit
is tested on every start unless a quick

Unit Startup
The UCP also checks compressor
motor winding temperature, and a
start is initiated if the winding
temperature is less than 265°F. The
chilled water pump relay is energized
and evaporator water flow is proven.
When less than 5 seconds remain on
the restart inhibit, the pre-start starter
test is conducted on Y-Delta starters.
If faults are detected, the unit’s
compressor will not start, and a
MMR Diagnostic will be generated.
Unit Start-Up Procedures
Daily Unit Start-Up
1. Verify the chilled water pump and
condenser water pump starter are
in “ON” or “AUTO”.
2. Verify the cooling tower is in “ON”
or “AUTO”.
Next, the UCP checks the leaving
evaporator water temperature and
compares it to the chilled water
setpoint. If the difference between
these values is less than the start
differential setpoint, cooling is not
needed.
If the compressor motor starts and
accelerates successfully, “Unit is
Running” appears on the display. At
this time the purge unit will start
operating on “Automatic” and will
continue to operate as long as chiller
compressor is running.
3. Check the oil tank oil level; the
level must be visible in or above
the lower sight glass. Also, be
sure to check the oil tank
temperature; normal oil tank
temperature before start-up is
140°F to 145°F (60 to 63°C).
If the UCP determines that the
difference between the evaporator
leaving water temperature and chilled start-up, unit operation is locked out,
water setpoint exceeds the start
differential setpoint, the unit enters
the initiate Start Mode and the oil
pump and Refrigerant pump and the
condenser water pump are started. If
condenser water flow is not proven
(flow switch 5S3 does not close)
within 4-minutes 15 seconds, the unit
is locked out on a MMR Diagnostic.
Note: Whenever the UCP detects a
MMR diagnostic condition during

During unit operation, the oil tank
heater is de-energized.
and manual reset is required before
the start-up sequence can begin
again. If the fault condition has not
cleared, the UCP will not permit
restart.
4. If the chiller is equipped with the
free cooling option, ensure that the
free cooling option is disabled in
the Chiller Settings menu.
5. Check the chilled water setpoint
and readjust it, if necessary, in the
Chiller Settings menu.
Oil pressure must be verified within 3
minutes or a MMR diagnostic is
generated.
6. If necessary, readjust the current
limit setpoint in the Chiller
Setpoints menu.
7. Press “AUTO”.

Unit Startup
When the cooling requirement is
satisfied, the UCP originates a
“Shutting down” signal. The inlet
guide vanes are driven closed for 50
seconds, and the unit enters a 3-
minute post-lube period. The
compressor motor and condenser
water pump starter are de-energized
immediately, but the oil pump
continues to run during this 3-minute
interval; the evaporator pump will
continue to run.
4. Open all of the valves in the
evaporator chilled water circuit.
ƽ WARNING
5. If the evaporator was previously
drained, vent and fill the evaporator
and chilled water circuit. When all
air is removed from the system
(Including each pass), close the
vent valves in the evaporator water
boxes.
Live Electrical
Components!
During installation, testing, servicing
and troubleshooting of this product,
it may be necessary to work with
live electrical components. Have a
qualified licensed electrician or other
individual who has been properly
trained in handling live electrical
components perform these tasks.
Failure to follow all electrical safety
precautions when exposed to live
electrical components could result in
death or serious injury.
6. Lubricate the external vane control
linkage as needed.
7. Check the adjustment and
operation of each safety and
operating control.
Once the post-lube cycle is done, the
unit returns to auto mode.
Seasonal Unit Start-Up
8. Close all disconnect switches.
1. Close all drain valves, and re-
install the drain plugs in the
evaporator and condenser
headers.
9. Perform instructions listed in
“Daily Unit Start-up” section.
ƽ WARNING
2. Service the auxiliary equipment
according to the start-up and
maintenance instructions provided
by the respective equipment
manufacturers.
Toxic Hazards!
• Do not run evaporator water pump
longer than 30 minutes after the
chiller is shutdown.
3. Vent and fill the cooling tower, if
used, as well as the condenser
and piping. At this point, all air
must be removed from the system
(including each pass). Then close
the vents in the condenser water
boxes.
• Ensure that the evaporator is
isolated from the hot water loop
before changeover to heating
mode.
Do not allow the chiller to increase
above 110°F in temperature while
unit is off. Failure to prevent high
chiller temperature will cause the
inside pressure to rise. The rupture
disk is designed to relieve and
discharge the refrigerant from the
unit if the pressure in the evaporator
exceeds 15 PSIG (103.4 Kpa). A
significant release of refrigerant into
a confined space due to a rupture
disk failure could displace available
oxygen to breathe and cause
possible asphyxiation. Should a
rupture disk fail, evacuate the area
immediately and contact the
appropriate rescue or response
authority. Failure to take appropriate
precautions or react properly to a
potential hazard could result in
death or serious injury.

1. If water is present in the tubes,
break machine vacuum with
refrigerant vapor, or circulate
water, to avoid tube damage.
8. If refrigerant is supplied in new
returnable cylinders, be sure and
refer to General Service Bulletin
CVHE-SB-48B for information on
returning cylinders. This service
bulletin is available at the nearest
Trane office.
2. Always use refrigerant compatible
hoses or copper-tubing with self-
sealing connections or shut-off
valves.

CAUTION
Connections
To facilitate refrigerant removal and
replacement, newer-design CVHE,
CVHF and CVHG units are provided
with a 3/4-inch vapor fitting with
shutoff valve on the chiller suction
and with a 3/4-inch liquid connection
with shutoff valve at the bottom of the
evaporator shell. (Refer to Refrigerant
Handling Guidelines.)
Proper Water Treatment!
The use of untreated or improperly
treated water in a CenTraVac may
result in scaling, erosion, corrosion,
algae or slime. It is recommended
that the services of a qualified water
treatment specialist be engaged to
determine what water treatment, if
any, is required. Trane assumes no
responsibility for equipment failures
which result from untreated or
improperly treated water, or saline or
brackish water.
Leak Testing
To leak-test a chiller containing full
refrigerant charge, raise chiller
pressure using a controlled hot water
or electric-resistance system to a
maximum of 8 psig. Do not use
nitrogen, which will cause excessive
refrigerant discharge by the purge
system.

Chemical Cleaning Setup.

Cleaning the Evaporator
Since the evaporator is typically part
of a closed circuit, it does not
accumulate appreciable amounts of
scale or sludge. Normally, cleaning
every 3 years is sufficient. However,
on open CVHE, CVHF and CVHG
systems, such as air washers,
periodic inspection and cleaning is
recommended.
CAUTION
Unit Corrosion Damage!
Proper procedures must be followed
when using corrosive chemicals to
clean water side of unit. It is
recommended that the services of a
qualified chemical cleaning firm be
used. Proper personal protective
equipment as recommended by the
chemical manufacturer should be
used. Refer to the chemicals MSDS
sheet for proper safety procedures.

Unit Preparation
Purge System
The following steps are necessary in
order to properly prepare a unit for
storage.
Because some sections of the
chiller’s refrigeration system operate
at less-than-atmospheric pressure,
the possibility exists that air and
moisture may leak into the system. If
allowed to accumulate, these
noncondensables become trapped in
the condenser; this increases
condensing pressure and
