agent of Trane, to VALIDATE this WARRANTY. Contractor
must provide a two-week startup notifi cation to Trane (or an
agent of Trane specifi cally authorized to perform startup).
Unit Description
The Sintesis RTAF units are helical-rotary type, air-cooled
chillers designed for outdoor installation. The refrigerant
circuits are factory-piped, leak tested and dehydrated. Every
unit is electrically tested for proper control operation before
shipment.
Chilled water inlet and outlet openings are covered for
shipment. The Sintesis RTAF features Trane’s exclusive
Adaptive Control™ logic, which monitors the control
variables that govern the operation of the chiller unit.
Adaptive control logic can adjust capacity variables to avoid
chiller shutdown when necessary, and keep producing
chilled water. The units feature two independent refrigerant
circuits. On the HSE HSS version, 1 compressor per circuit
is controlled by a dedicated variable speed Adaptive
Frequency Drive. Each refrigerant circuit is provided
with fi lter, sight glass, electronic expansion valve, and
charging valves. The shell-and-tube CHIL™ (Compact-High
performance-Integrated design-Low charge) evaporator is
manufactured in accordance with the Pressure Equipment
Directive (PED) code. Each evaporator is fully insulated and
equipped with water drain and vent connection.
Units are shipped with full oil charge and can be ordered
with either a factory refrigerant charge or optional
refrigerant pre-charge.
