Installation Mechanical
Location Requirements
Sound Considerations
•
Locate the unit away from sound-sensitive areas.
•
Install the optional elastomeric isolators under the
unit. See
“Isolation and Sound Emission,” p. 16
.
•
Chilled water piping should not be supported by chiller
frame.
•
Install rubber vibration isolators in all water piping.
•
Use flexible electrical conduit.
•
Seal all wall penetrations.
Note:
Consult an acoustical engineer for critical
applications
Foundation
Provide rigid, non-warping mounting pads or a concrete
foundation of sufficient strength and mass to support the
applicable operating weight (i.e., including completed
piping, and full operating charges of refrigerant, oil and
water). See
Table 3, p. 13
for unit operating weights. Once
in place, the unit must be level within 1/4” (6.4 mm) across
the length and width of the unit.TheTrane Company is not
responsible for equipment problems resulting from an
improperly designed or constructed foundation.
Clearances
Provide enough space around the unit to allow the
installation and maintenance personnel unrestricted
access to all service points. See submittal drawings for the
unit dimensions, to provide sufficient clearance for the
opening of control panel doors and unit service. See
Figure 2, p. 13
for minimum clearances. In all cases, local
codes which require additional clearances will take
precedence over these recommendations.
For close spacing information, see RLC-PRB037*-EN.
Lifting and Moving Instructions
WARNING
Heavy Objects!
Failure to follow instructions below or properly lift unit
could result in unit dropping and possibly crushing
operator/technician which could result in death or
serious injury, and equipment or property-only damage.
Ensure that all the lifting equipment used is properly
rated for the weight of the unit being lifted. Each of the
cables (chains or slings), hooks, and shackles used to
lift the unit must be capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Lifting cables (chains or slings) may
not be of the same length. Adjust as necessary for even
unit lift.
WARNING
Improper Unit Lift!
Failure to properly lift unit could result in unit dropping
and possibly crushing operator/technician which could
result in death or serious injury, and equipment or
property-only damage. Test lift unit approximately 24
inches to verify proper center of gravity lift point. To
avoid dropping of unit, reposition lifting point if unit is
not level.
WARNING
Proper Lifting Configuration Required!
Use only lift locations designated with label shown in
Figure 3
. Do NOT use locations marked with label
shown in
Figure 4
. Use unit lifting configuration as
shown in
Figure 5, p. 15
. Other lifting arrangements
could result in death, serious injury or equipment
damage.
