Start-Up and Shutdown
Important:
Initial unit commissioning start-up must be
performed by Trane or an agent of Trane
specifically authorized to perform start-up
and warranty of Trane products. Contractor
shall provide Trane (or an agent of Trane
specifically authorized to perform start-up)
with notice of the scheduled start-up at least
two weeks prior to the scheduled start-up.
Unit Start-Up
If required, once the system has been operating for
approximately 30 minutes and has become stabilized,
complete the remaining start-up procedures, as follows:
1. Check the evaporator refrigerant pressure and the
condenser refrigerant pressure under Refrigerant
Report on the AdaptiView ™TD7. The pressures are
referenced to sea level (14.6960 psia).
2. Check the EXV sight glasses after sufficient time has
elapsed to stabilize the chiller. The refrigerant flow
past the sight glasses should be clear. Bubbles in the
refrigerant indicate either low refrigerant charge or
excessive pressure drop in the liquid line or a stuck
open expansion valve. A restriction in the line can
sometimes be identified by a noticeable temperature
differential between the two sides of the restriction.
Frost will often form on the line at this point. Proper
refrigerant charges are shown in the General
Information Section.
Important:
A clear sight glass alone does not mean that
the system is properly charged. Also check
system subcooling, liquid level control and
unit operating pressures.
If chiller is limited by any limiting conditions, contact local
Trane service organization for more information.
Temporary Shutdown And
Restart
To shut the unit down for a short time, use the following
procedure:
1. Press the STOP key on the Adaptiview TD7. The
compressors will continue to operate and an
operational pumpdown cycle will be initiated.
2. Symbio™ 800 pump control will turn off the pump
(after a minimum 1 min. delay) when the STOP key is
pressed and automatically restart the pump when the
unit starts normally.
3. The unit will start normally, provided the following
conditions exist:
a. The Symbio™ 800 receives a call for cooling and the
differential-to-start is above the setpoint.
b. All system operating interlocks and safety circuits
are satisfied.
Extended Shutdown Procedure
The following procedure is to be followed if the system is
to be taken out of service for an extended period of time,
e.g. seasonal shutdown:
1. Test the unit for refrigerant leaks and repair as
necessary.
2. Open the electrical disconnect for the chilled water
pump. Lock the switches in the “OPEN” position.
3. Close all chilled water supply valves. Drain the water
from the evaporator.
4. With the water drained from evaporator, disconnect
115 power from evaporator heaters at terminals 1X4-1
and 1X4-2.
5. Open the main electrical disconnect and lock in the
“OPEN” position.
NOTICE
Equipment Damage!
Failure to follow instructions could result in equipment
damage.
Ensure that the compressor and oil sump heaters have
been operating properly for a minimum of 24 hours
before starting.
NOTICE
Equipment Damage!
Snow, ice, or debris build up on fans could cause
excessive imbalance and equipment damage.
Clear fans of build up prior to machine start-up.
NOTICE
Pump Damage!
Failure to follow instructions could result in pump
damage.
Lock the chilled water pump disconnects open and
verify pump is off before draining water.
NOTICE
Heater Damage!
Failure to follow instructions could result in heater
damage.
Do not apply power to the evaporator heaters when no
water is present.
