aborted to protect the chiller.The next  
chiller in the sequence is immediately  
started to maintain cooling.  
Energy Efficiency  
Trane chiller plant automation intelligently  
sequences starting of chillers to optimize  
the overall chiller plant energy efficiency.  
Individual chillers are designated to  
operate as base, peak, or swing based on  
capacity and efficiency. Sophisticated  
software automatically determines which

Application  
Considerations  
Condenser WaterTemperatures  
Reduced sensitivity to condenser water  
startup temperatures is one major  
enhancement in the newest-generation  
water-cooled Series R chiller.With the  
model RTHD chiller, a condenser water  
control method is necessary only if the  
unit starts with entering water  
temperatures below 55°F (12.8°C), or  
between 45°F (7.2°C) and 55°F (12.8°C),  
when a temperature increase of 1°F  
(0.56°C) per minute to 55°F (12.8°) is not  
possible.  
power input required, but the ideal  
temperature for optimizing total system  
power consumption will depend on the  
overall system dynamics. From a system  
perspective, some improvements in  
chiller efficiency may be offset by the  
increased tower fan and pumping costs  
required to achieve the lower tower  
temperatures. Contact your localTrane  
systems solution provider for more  
information on optimizing system  
performance.  
Some basic rules should be followed  
whenever using these system design and  
operational savings methods with the  
RTHD.The proper location of the chilled  
water temperature control sensor is in  
the supply (outlet) water.This location  
allows the building to act as a buffer, and  
it assures a slowly changing return water  
temperature. If there is insufficient water  
volume in the system to provide an  
adequate buffer, temperature control can  
be lost, resulting in erratic system  
operation and excessive compressor  
cycling.To ensure consistent operation  
and tight temperature control, the chilled  
water loop should be at least two  
minutes. If this recommendation cannot  
be followed, and tight leaving water  
temperature control is necessary, a  
storage tank or larger header pipe should  
be installed to increase the volume of  
water in the system.  
The minimum acceptable refrigerant  
pressure differential between condenser  
and evaporator is 23 psid.The chiller  
control system will attempt to obtain and  
maintain this differential at startup, but for  
continuous operation a design should  
maintain a 25°F (13.9°C) differential from  
evaporator leaving water temperature to  
condenser leaving water temperature.  
When the application requires startup  
temperatures below the prescribed  
minimums, a variety of options are  
available.To control a 2-way or 3-way  
valve,Trane offers a Condenser  
RegulatingValve Control option for the  
CH530 controls.This option enables the  
CH530 controls to send a signal for  
opening and closing the valve as  
necessary to maintain chiller differential  
pressure.The 2-way valves are available  
as a ship-with option.Tower bypass is  
also a valid control method if the chiller  
temperature requirements can be  
maintained.  
Variable Evaporator Flow and Short  
EvaporatorWater Loops  
For variable primary flow applications,  
the rate of chilled water flow change  
should not exceed 10 percent of design  
per minute to maintain +/-0.5°F (0.28°C)  
leaving evaporator temperature control.  
For applications in which system energy  
savings is most important and tight  
temperature control is classified as  
+/-2°F (1.1°C), up to 30 percent changes in  
flow per minute are possible. Flow rates  
should be maintained between the  
minimum and maximum allowed for any  
particular chiller configuration.  
Variable evaporator flow is an energy-  
saving design strategy which has quickly  
gained acceptance as advances in chiller  
and controls technology have made it  
possible.With its linear unloading  
compressor design and advanced CH530  
controls, the RTHD has excellent  
capability to maintain leaving water  
temperature control within +/-0.5°F  
(0.28°C) , even for systems with variable  
evaporator flow and small chilled water  
volumes.  
Trane Series R chillers start and operate  
successfully and reliably over a range of  
load conditions with controlled entering  
condenser water temperature. Reducing  
the condenser water temperature is an  
effective method of lowering chiller

Application  
Considerations  
Series Chiller Arrangements  
Like series arrangements on the  
Water Pumps  
Another energy-saving strategy is to  
design the system around chillers  
arranged in series, on the evaporator,  
condenser, or both.The actual savings  
possible with such strategies depends on  
the application dynamics and should be  
researched by consulting yourTrane  
Systems Solutions Representative and  
applying theTrane System Analyzer  
program. It is possible to operate a pair of  
chillers more efficiently in a series chiller  
arrangement than in a parallel  
evaporator, series arrangements on the  
condenser may enable savings.This  
approach may allow reductions in pump  
and tower installation and operating  
costs. Maximizing system efficiency  
requires that the designer balance  
performance considerations for all  
system components; the best approach  
may or may not involve multiple chillers,  
or series arrangement of the evaporators  
and/or condensers. This ideal balance of  
design integrity with installation and  
operating cost considerations can also be  
obtained by consulting aTrane  
Where noise limitation and vibration-free  
operation are important,Trane strongly  
encourages the use of 1750-rpm (60 Hz),  
1450-rpm (50 Hz) pumps. Specifying or  
using 3600-rpm (60 Hz), 3000-rpm (50 Hz)  
condenser water and chilled water  
pumps must be avoided, because such  
pumps may operate with objectionable  
levels of noise and vibration. In addition, a  
low frequency beat may occur due to the  
slight difference in operating rpm  
between 3600-rpm (60 Hz), 3000-rpm  
(50 Hz) water pumps and Series R chiller  
motors. Important Note:The chilled water  
pump must not be used to stop the chiller.  
arrangement. It is also possible to achieve  
higher entering-to-leaving chiller  
differentials, which may, in turn, provide  
the opportunity for lower chilled water  
design temperature, lower design flow,  
and resulting installation and operational  
cost savings.TheTrane screw

Ratings and Installation Guide. Using the  
information provided in this bulletin,  
contact a certified sound consultant to aid  
in proper mechanical room design and  
treatment.  
The use of untreated or improperly  
treated water in chillers may result in  
scaling, erosion, corrosion, and algae or  
slime buildup. It is recommended that the  
services of a qualified water treatment  
specialist be engaged to determine what  
treatment, if any, is advisable.Trane

Selection  
Procedure  
Trane Series R chiller performance is  
rated in accordance with the ARI  
Standard 550/590-2003 Certification  
Program. Chiller selection assistance and  
performance information can be  
obtained by using the Series R chiller  
selection program, available through  
localTrane sales offices.  
Part Load Performance  
Actual air-conditioning system loads are  
frequently less than full-load design  
conditions. Depending on the number of  
chillers on the job and the load profile,  
chillers may operate at full load a small  
percentage of the time.With their  
excellent part-load performance  
characteristics and highly energy-efficient  
operation, Series R chillers can provide  
significant operating savings at these  
part-load conditions.  
Performance  
The computerized Series R chiller  
selection program provides performance  
data for each possible chiller selection at  
both full-load and part-load design points,  
as required.

Part-load chiller operation is frequently  
associated with reduced condenser  
water temperatures. However, rather  
than focusing only on the chiller, it is  
important to balance these temperatures  
to achieve the most efficient system  
operation possible. At part-load  
It should be noted that changing the  
number of water passes or the water  
flow rates will generally alter the  
performance of a particular chiller.To  
attain maximum benefit from the wide  
range of chiller models and options  
available, designers are encouraged to  
first develop performance specifications  
and then use the chiller selection program  
to optimize all selections.This will help  
ensure selection of the compressor-  
evaporator-condenser combination that  
most closely meets the job requirements.  
To optimize system performance, all  
selections should also be balanced with  
other system components.  
operation, the heat rejected to the cooling  
tower is less than at full-load operation.  
Part-load chiller operation is also typically  
associated with reduced outside wet bulb  
temperatures, resulting in improved  
cooling tower performance.The net result  
of reduced heat rejection and lower wet  
bulb temperatures can be cooler  
condenser water entering the chiller,  
ultimately improving unit performance.  
However, this does not improve pump or  
tower efficiency.To achieve the most  
efficient system operation possible, it is  
best to minimize the total power draw of  
the chiller, tower, and pumps, which may  
not mean limiting the condenser water  
temperature to what the tower can  
provide.To determine specific unit and  
system part-load performance for chiller  
selection purposes, use the Series R  
chiller computer selection program or  
contact the localTrane sales office.  
Fouling Factors  
ARI Standard 550 includes a definition of  
clean tube fouling.The recommended  
standard fouling adjustments are 0.0001  
hr-sq ft-deg F/Btu (0.0176 sq m-deg C/kW)  
for the evaporator and 0.00025 hr-sq ft  
deg F/Btu (0.044 sq m-deg C/kW) for the  
condenser, from an increment of 0.0000  
“clean.” Chiller specifications should be  
developed using the most current  
standard fouling factors.

Electrical DataTables  
Compressor motor electrical data is  
provided in the data section for each  
compressor size. Rated load amperes  
(RLA), locked rotor wye amperes (LRA)  
and expected inrush for theWye-delta  
and Solid State Starter configurations are  
shown.  
Series R chillers can be provided with a  
wide variety of fluid media other than  
water, including ethylene glycol and  
propylene glycol— in the evaporator,  
condenser or both. Chillers using media  
other than water are excluded from the  
ARI 550/590-2003 Certification Program,  
but are rated in accordance with ARI  
Standard 550/590-2003.Trane factory  
performance tests are only performed  
with water as the cooling and heat-  
rejection media.When considering  
selection of media other than water,  
contact the localTrane sales office for  
chiller selections and factory  
Although the terms “LRAand “expected  
inrush” are often used interchangeably,  
the distinction applied here is that LRA is  
the rated inrush for the motor, but  
expected inrush is that allowed by the  
starter, based on the specific  
configuration.  
Selecting starters in theWye-delta or  
Solid State configuration lowers  
expected inrush vs. the Delta (or “across-  
the-line”) configuration. A Solid State  
Starter configuration lowers the  
expected inrush by approximately 50  
percent, whileWye-Delta lowers it by  
approximately 66 percent.  
performance testing information.  
Fluid media other than water lowers the  
heat transfer coefficient, and therefore  
reduces chiller performance. In general, it  
is good practice to hold the percent glycol  
added to within the minimum allowed by  
theTrane selection program, based on  
either (a) unit operating temperatures, or  
(b) the operating temperatures the  
evaporator or condenser water will  
experience under its full range of  
conditions. Adding more glycol than  
required for the specific application is  
equivalent to selecting a less efficient  
chiller. Lower-viscosity glycols such as  
ethylene will have less adverse impact  
on chiller performance than higher-  
viscosity glycols such as propylene.  
The RLA is based on the motors  
performance when reaching full rated  
horsepower.The kW rating of the motor  
will equal or exceed the kW requirement  
indicated by the Series R computer  
selection program at design conditions. If  
motor kW draw at design conditions is  
less than the kW rating of the motor, the  
RLA at design conditions is determined  
by multiplying the motor RLA (at the  
desired voltage) by this ratio: design kW/  
motor kW rating.This calculation is  
performed within the Series R chiller  
computer selection program, making  
RLA available as part of the design  
predictions. Predicted values include  
power factor variation from point to point.  
Evaporator and Condenser Pressure  
Drop  
Pressure drop data is determined by the  
Series R chiller computer selection  
program available through localTrane  
sales offices.  
A voltage utilization range is tabulated for  
each voltage listed. Series R chillers are  
designed to operate satisfactorily over a  
utilization range of 10 percent of the  
standard design voltages: (a) 200V, 230V,  
380V, 460V, and 575V for 60 Hertz, 3-  
phase, and (b) 380V, 400V,

The display will identify the fault, indicate  
date, time, and operating mode at time of  
occurrence, and provide type of reset  
required and a help message.The  
diagnostic history will display the last ten  
diagnostics with their times and dates of  
occurrence.  
Exposed metal surfaces are painted with  
air-dry beige, direct-to-metal, single-  
component paint. Each unit ships with full  
operating charges of refrigerant and oil.  
Molded neoprene isolation pads are  
supplied for placement under all support  
points. Startup and operator instruction  
by factory-trained service personnel are  
included.  
available with grooved connections (150  
or 300 psig waterside). All connections  
may be either right- or left-handed.  
Waterside shall be hydrostatically tested  
at 1.5X design working pressure.  
Refrigerant Circuit  
An electronically controlled expansion  
valve is provided to maintain proper  
refrigerant flow.  
Clear Language Display Panel  
Factory-mounted to the control panel  
door, the operator interface has an LCD  
touch-screen display for operator input  
and information output.This interface  
provides access to the following  
information: evaporator report,  
condenser report, compressor report,  
ASHRAE Guideline 3 report, operator  
settings, service settings, service tests,  
and diagnostics. All diagnostics and  
messages are displayed in “clear  
language.”  
Compressor and Motor  
Unit Controls (CH530)  
The unit is equipped with a semi-  
hermetic, direct-drive, 3600-rpm (3000  
rpm @ 50 Hz) rotary compressor that  
includes a capacity control slide valve, oil  
sump heater, and differential pressure  
refrigerant oil flow system. Four  
pressure-lubricated, rolling-element  
bearing groups support the rotating  
assembly.  
The microprocessor-based control panel  
is factory-installed and factory-tested.The  
control system is powered by a control  
power transformer, and will load and  
unload the chiller through adjustment of  
the compressor slide valve.  
Microprocessor-based chilled water reset  
based on return water is standard.  
The CH530 microprocessor automatically  
acts to prevent unit shutdown due to  
abnormal operating conditions  
associated with low evaporator  
refrigerant temperature, high condensing  
temperature, and/or motor current  
overload. If an abnormal operating  
condition continues and the protective  
limit is reached, the machine should shut  
down.  
The motor is a suction gas-cooled,  
hermetically sealed, two-pole, squirrel  
cage induction-type.  
Data contained in available reports  
includes:  
Water and air temperatures  
• Refrigerant levels and temperatures  
• Oil pressure  
• Flow switch status  
• EXV position  
• Head pressure control command  
• Compressor starts and run-time  
• Line phase percent RLA, amps, and  
volts  
Unit-Mounted Starter  
The unit is supplied with a NEMA 1 type  
enclosure with top power-wiring access  
and three-phase, solid state overload  
protection.The starter is available in a  
Wye-Delta configuration, factory-  
mounted and fully pre-wired to the  
compressor motor and control panel. A  
factory-installed, factory-wired 600VA  
control power transformer provides all  
unit control power (120VAC secondary)  
and CH530 module power (24VAC  
secondary). Optional starter features  
include circuit breakers, ground fault  
circuit breakers, and mechanical, non-  
fused disconnects.  
The panel includes machine protection  
shutdown requiring manual reset for the  
following conditions:  
• low evaporator refrigerant temperature  
and pressure  
• high condenser refrigerant pressure  
• low oil flow  
• critical sensor or detection circuit faults  
• motor current overload  
• high compressor discharge temperature  
• lost communication between modules  
• electrical distribution faults: phase loss,  
phase imbalance, or phase reversal  
• external and local emergency stop  
• starter transition failure  
All necessary settings and setpoints are  
programmed into the microprocessor-  
based controller via the operator  
interface.The controller is capable of  
receiving signals contemporaneously  
from a variety of control sources, in any  
combination, and priority order of control  
sources can be programmed.The control  
source with priority determines active  
setpoints via the signal it sends to the  
control panel. Control sources may be:  
• the local operator interface (standard)  
• a hard-wired 4-20 mA or 2-10VDC  
signal from an external source  
(interface optional; control source not  
supplied)  
Evaporator and Condenser  
Shells are carbon steel plate.The  
evaporator and condenser are designed,  
tested, and stamped in accordance with  
ASME Code for refrigerant-side/  
working-side pressure of 200 psig.  
The panel also includes machine  
protection shutdown with automatic  
reset for the following correctable  
conditions:  
• momentary power loss  
• under/over voltage  
All tube sheets are made of carbon steel;  
tubes are mechanically expanded into  
tube sheets and mechanically fastened to  
tube supports. Evaporator tubes are 1.0-  
inch (25.4 mm) diameter and condenser  
tubes are 0.75-inch  
(19.05 mm) diameter. Both types can be  
individually replaced. Standard tubes are  
externally finned, internally enhanced  
seamless copper with lands at all tube  
sheets.  
• Generic BAS (optional points; control  
source not supplied)  
• LonTalk LCI-C (interface optional; control  
source not supplied)  
• loss of evaporator or condenser water  
flow  
TraneTracer Summitsystem (interface  
optional)  
When a fault is detected, the control  
system conducts more than 100  
diagnostic checks and displays results.
