Introduction

Warranty

Warranty is based on the general terms and conditions of the manufacturer. The warranty is void if the equipment is 
repaired or modifi ed without the written approval of the manufacturer, if the operating limits are exceeded or if the 
control system or the electrical wiring is modifi ed. Damage due to misuse, lack of maintenance or failure to comply 
with the manufacturer’s instructions or recommendations is not covered by the warranty obligation. If the user does 
not conform to the rules of this manual, it may entail cancellation of warranty and liabilities by the manufacturer.

Unit Description 

The RTSF units are helical-rotary type, water-cooled, liquid chillers, designed for installation indoors. The RTSF units 
are packaged with an evaporator and condenser.

Note: Each RTSF unit is a completely assembled, hermetic package that is factory-piped, wired, leak tested, 
dehydrated, charged and tested for proper control operations prior to shipment. The chilled water inlet and outlet 
openings are covered for shipment.

The RTSF series features Trane’s exclusive Adaptive Control logic with UC800 controls. It monitors the control 
variables that govern the operation of the chiller unit. Adaptive Control logic can correct these variables, when 
necessary, to optimize operational effi ciencies, avoid chiller shutdown, and keep producing chilled water. 

Compressor loading/unloading is provided by AFD (Adaptive Frequency Drive) coordinated with slide 
valve operation.

Each refrigerant circuit is provided with fi lter, sight glass, electronic expansion valve, and charging valves on 
the RTSF.

The evaporator and condenser are manufactured in accordance with Pressure Equipment Directive standards. 
The evaporator and the condenser are insulated according the option ordered. Both evaporator and condenser 
water pipes are equipped with water drain and vent connections.

Refrigerant

Consult the addendum to Manuals for units with refrigerant, for conformity to the Pressure Equipment Directive 
(PED) 97/23/EC or 2014/68/EU and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and for specifi c caution for R1234ze.

Maintenance contract

It is strongly recommended that you sign a maintenance contract with your local Trane Service Agency. This contract 
provides regular maintenance of your installation by a specialist in our equipment. Regular maintenance ensures 
that any malfunction is detected and corrected in good time and minimizes the possibility that serious damage 
will occur. Finally, regular maintenance ensures the maximum operating life of your equipment. We would remind 
you that failure to respect these installation and maintenance instructions may result in immediate cancellation of 
the warranty.

Training

To assist you in obtaining the best use of it and maintaining it in perfect operating condition over a long period of 
time, the manufacturer has at your disposal a refrigeration and air conditioning service school. The principal aim of 
this is to give operators and technicians a better knowledge of the equipment they are using, or that is under their 
charge. Emphasis is particularly given to the importance of periodic checks on the unit operating parameters as well 
as on preventive maintenance, which reduces the cost of owning the unit by avoiding serious and costly breakdown.
