Refrigerant Cycle(Reference Figure 3)

Refrigeration CycleThis is an example of typicalmachine operation at a standardrating point condition (that is, 85°F[29°C] tower, 44°F [6.7°C] leavingchilled water) at full load. Dilutesolution has a relatively highrefrigerant content and low lithiumbromide content. An intermediatesolution is a mixture of dilute andconcentrated solutions. Aconcentrated solution is one with arelatively low refrigerant contentand high lithium bromide content.

Generator Dilute solution (1) is pumped intothe generator (2) where it is boiledby the steam or hot water in thetube bundle, creating refrigerantvapor. The refrigerant vapor isdrawn to the condenser (6). The nowconcentrated solution flows bygravity through the solution heatexchanger (3) to the absorber (4)spray system where it is mixed withdilute solution (1) from the absorberand sprayed on the absorber tubes(5).

Condenser Refrigerant vapor (produced by thelow temperature generator) entersthe condenser (6) to be reduced inpressure/temperature via expansiondevice for delivery to the evaporator.The heat of condensation is rejectedto the cooling water inside the tubebundle (12-13).

Evaporator System water runs through the tubebundle (9-10) where its heat istransferred to the sprayedrefrigerant water (8) causing therefrigerant to vaporize/boil. Therefrigerant vapor is drawn to theslightly lower pressure in theabsorber.

Absorber Refrigerant vapor is absorbed by thelithium bromide solution (dilute) tobe circulated and cycled again. Thesolution is pumped through thesolution heat exchanger to thegenerator. Absorber Heat (acquiredin the evaporator) is rejected via thecooling water inside the tube bundle(11-12).

Absorption Process Solution (concentrated) enters thespray system from the generatorand enters the spray system wettingthe tubes and providing a liquidsurface for the refrigerant vaporfrom the evaporator to absorb intothe lithium bromide solution. Thesolution temperature/concentrationsprayed in the absorber controls theabsorber pressure therebycontrolling the evaporatorrefrigerant temperature.

Solution Heat Exchanger Solution flows through the heatexchanger being preheated reducingthe heat energy required to induceboiling within the generator and todecreasing the temperature of thesolution being returned to theabsorber, thus decreasing the loadon the cooling tower.

Signal Block DiagramThe following signal block diagramillustrates the interrelationship ofthe interprocessor communications(IPC) link that allows the variousmodule microprocessors tocommunicate. All control modulesare mounted in the chiller controlpanel. The option andcommunication modules are presentonly when specified. The TraneTracer Automation System providescommunications outside the unitcontrol panel.

The Chiller Module (1U3) serves asthe master control. This module isresponsible for implementing thealgorithms that control chilleroperation. It manages the functionsof machine safety, operating limits,chilled water temperature control bymonitoring unit mounted sensorsand information from other moduleson the interprocessorcommunications (IPC) link.

The chiller module initiates andcontrols all data communications.Internal control algorithms andexternal input data are used toproduce chilled water temperaturewhile maintaining safe reliablechiller operation. The input/outputports on the chiller module monitorand control-chilled water andcooling water pump operation. Theevaporator and condenser waterpumps are electrically controlledand interlocked to the unit controlpanel. This interlocking arrangementprovides protection from impropersystem water pump control or lossof flow conditions, which candamage the machine.

This module communicates throughthe interprocessor communicationsconnection to other modules suchas: the stepper drive module tocontrol the energy input, the startermodule to start/stop the solutionpumps and control solution flow,and to the operator interface todisplay machine status informationto the operator.

Set point Communication andStorageThe machine setup informationselected at the operator interface isstored in the chiller modules non-volatile memory that is retainedwhen the panel is not powered. Thechiller module is responsible forverifying that the setup memory isnot corrupted, and for substitutingdefault settings if the stored settingsbecome corrupted.

1U1 Starter Module The starter module controls externalwater pump operation and providesan interface to an adjustablefrequency variable speed drive forsolution pump control.

1U2-Circuit Module The circuit module is located in thelower portion of the control sectionbeneath the starter module. Themain purpose of the circuit moduleis that of an input/output (I/O)expander for the chiller module. Thecircuit module provides input datafrom unit temperature sensors, unitpressure and switch inputs, andmakes this information available byway of an interprocessorcommunication link. This moduleprovides output contact closures forcontrol of the purge and lithiumbromide concentration sensing,detection, and recovery control.

Machine Control

This section identifies sequence ofoperation and control strategy,machine control panel details andspecific machine mounted controls.

The illustration represents time andevent proceeding from left to right.The operator interface displays, timeand the events in the sequence thatthey occur. Follow the sequence tounderstand when external andinternal control devices are used.The time line provides informationthat may not be obvious whenwatching the display. Additionally,this information can be used fortrouble shooting purposes.

The sequence of operationillustrates time and events thatoccur at initial power-up, duringstart-up when auto is selected, autooff cycle operation, or manual stopoperation. The time line 1 and 2 inFigure 8 and time line 3 (Figure 8continued) pictorially illustrates theevents that occur during normaloperation.

Sequence of Operation Time LineReferenced Notes

1. See “Operator Guide” for a listingof valid modes that may occurduring “Unit is Running.”

2. Upon power up, refrigerantdilution valve 1 (4B6) remains offfor thirty seconds.

3. When a “need to cool” exists, anincomplete dilution cycle can beexited by pressing the Auto key.The chiller will continue with anew start-up sequence.

4. The “Auto, waiting for a need tocool” can be exited by pressingStop.

5. Power loss at this point will resultin a dilution cycle upon re-establishing power, if there is noneed to cool.

6. Power loss at this point will resultin the remainder of a dilutioncycle being completed upon re-establishing power.

7. Chilled water pump will bestopped after the dilution cycle iscompleted for all MAR and MMRexcept in the case of chilled waterpump flow overdue where thechilled water pump signalremains on.

8. Panic stop; operator presses thestop key twice within 5 seconds.This state may be exited bypressing either the stop or autokey.

Machine Start-upDuring the machine start sequencethe chiller relies on external devicesto provide correct feedbackspecifically, the chilled water pumpstarter and flow switch confirmation,condenser water pump starter andflow switch confirmation. Duringmachine start-up, the appropriatemessage will be displayed thatconfirm the sequences occurred.

The Unit Control Panel (UCP) waitsup to four minutes and fifteenseconds for proof of chilled waterflow after a water pump startcommand output is given.

Failure to receive chilled water flowwithin the allotted time confirmationresults in a message stating“Diagnostics -auto.” This is aMachine shutdown Auto Restart(MAR)- diagnostic where the chillerwill start once the chilled water flowswitch logic is satisfied.

Failure to receive condenser waterflow within the time periods’ resultsin an Machine shutdown ManualRestart (MMR)- diagnostic where thechiller must be reset beforecontinued operation is allowed.

Dilution CycleA 3 to 15 minute dilution cycle isperformed on all shutdown modeswith one exception. The exception isa “Panic Stop” that consists of anoperator depressing the stop keytwice (or continuously) within a 5-second period. This will execute apump stop command and all pumpswill stop without the normal dilutioncycle. A restart can be initiated atanytime by pressing the auto key. Adilution cycle may be entered bypressing the stop key. If “Stop” isselected, the events following a stopcommand is pictorially illustrated inthe bottom half of Figure 8(continued).

Machine Control Strategy

The objective of the unit controlsystem is to reliably achieve andmaintain leaving chilled water Setpoint. The unit control panel (UCP)monitors chilled water temperatureand its relation to the panel setpoint, and adjusts the amount ofsolution supplied to the generator,and the energy applied as needed.Adjusting the solution flowmaintains the leaving watertemperature. Adjusting the energyinput maintains solutionconcentration. These twoadjustments are the two primarycontrol algorithms employed in theUCP. Reference Figure 9.

1. Leaving Water Temperature (LWT)The unit control panel comparesleaving chilled water temperature tothe leaving water set point andadjusts the refrigerant vaporpressure in the evaporator toachieve control. The refrigerantvapor pressure is determined by theabsorber spray concentration. Theabsorber spray concentration ischanged by adjusting the generatorsolution flow with the adjustablefrequency drive (AFD) control of theabsorber spray and low temperaturesolution pumps.

Absorber spray solutionconcentration determines theabsorber vapor pressure thatcontrols the refrigerant vaporpressure and temperature. Therefrigerant. spray temperature thencontrols the LWT to the leavingwater temperature Set point.

2. Concentration ControlSolution concentration controladjusts the generator energy inputto hold solution concentration tooptimum efficiency. The strongsolution concentration is typicallymaintained 15°F [-9.4°C] fromtheoretical crystallization point. Thisis called the low temperature heatexchanger (LTHX) temperaturemargin. As strong solutionconcentration is varied by LWTsolution flow control, the theoreticalcrystallization temperature ischanged. The control system adjuststhe energy input to maintain theLTHX temperature marginthroughout the load range. Thesimplified control illustration belowillustrates the two control inputs andindicates that these inputs mustpass through the “limit control”before the signals are output thesolution pump AFD and/or energyinput control.

Along with the microprocessorcontrol of LWT and concentrationcontrol as stated previously, themicroprocessor monitors operatingconditions that could alter machineoperation. If such a condition isdetected the limit control systemwill override LWT and concentrationcontrol requests. The override limitoccurs when a control output (fromLWT or concentration control)request is greater than allowed bythe particular limit schedule. Thelimit control modifies machinecontrol to continue operation.

When a limit or safety takes prioritycontrol, the clear language displaywill so indicate the active limitmode. A limit mode does notnecessarily mean that a problemexists. In many cases this limit is anormal function such as soft loadduring start-up.

The microprocessor will shut downthe chiller if a safety set point isviolated.

Figure 10 illustrates the limits thatcan override LWT and concentrationcontrol. The primary control signalcan be modified by any limit.

Soft Loading Soft loading is accomplished via afiltered Set point change function inthat it affects the speed that themachine loads or unloads whengiven a new set point target. Thisoccurs at start-up and whenever thechilled water Set point is changed.On start-up, this allows the machineto warm-up gradually, and allowsfor the tower water to warm-up. Softloading is also active when a chilledwater Set point change is received.The new Set point will be reached asthe new target Set point at the endof the set soft loading time period.The soft loading time period isfactory set to 15 minutes and can beset from 1 to 100 by the start-uppersonnel.

Low Condensing Temperature Limit Low temperature may limit solutionflow to prevent salt carryover and/orcrystallization. The factory defaultsetting is designed to providereliable chiller operation with lowtower temperatures. To do this thesolution flow may need to be limitedat condensing temperatures belowdesign. The further below designand the higher the load will increasethe likelihood of this limit modebecoming active.

Low Refrigerant Temperature Limitand CutoutThis limit prevents the machinefrom driving down the refrigeranttemperature below safe and reliabletemperatures. If an unsafe level isapproached the control strategy willfirst limit loading, then enter a holdwhere continued loading is notallowed. If the refrigeranttemperature continues to fall, theunit will unload in an attempt tokeep the chiller on line avoiding alow temperature trip.

If the refrigerant temperaturecontinues to decrease and thecutout is reached then an MMR willoccur requiring manual reset. Forexample, with a typical lowrefrigerant temperature set point of36°F [2.2°C] the following will beactive points; limit loading will beginwith a decreasing refrigeranttemperature reaching 38.5°F [3.6°C],hold loading will occur @ 38°F[3.3°C], and unload will occur at37.5°F [3.1°C]. Cutout will occur @36°F [2.2°C] resulting in a machineshutdown manual reset- MMR-diagnostic. The factory defaultsetting is 36°F [2.2°C] and can beadjusted, if required by Traneservice personnel.

Low Chilled Water TemperatureLimitLow chilled water temperature limitoperates similarly to the lowrefrigerant temperature limitpreviously discussed. For example,with a typical low chilled watertemperature Set point of 38°F[3.3°C], limited loading begins @40.5°F [4.7°C], hold loading @ 40°F[4.4°C], unload at 39.5°F [4.2°C], andtrip @ 38°F [3.3°C] resulting in amachine shutdown manual reset-MMR- diagnostic. The factorydefault setting is 38°F [3.3°C] andcan be adjusted, if required by Traneservice personnel. The minimumdifference between these limits is2°F or 1°C.

Sensing Detection and Recovery(SDR)Solution flow sensing provides theinput information for proper solutionflow detection. This is a back upsystem providing a second line ofdefense if concentration control failsto maintain the set margin ofdegrees away from thecrystallization point. If an incorrectflow pattern is detected the controlsystem enters a recovery mode ofoperation that cycles the solutionpumps and refrigerant dump valveto dilute the strong solution,reestablishing the correct flowpattern. The control system will, onthe first and second occurrence,increase the set concentrationmargin by 5°F [-15°C] in an attemptto prevent a reoccurrence, and aninformational warning message willbe displayed on the clear languagedisplay. Upon the third occurrence amachine shutdown manual reset(MMR) diagnostic will be set andrequire manual reset after correctiveaction is established.

Steam Input Flow ControlSteady steam input flow isimportant to maintain stableconcentration control. The controlrate at which steam enters the unitis a function of: A) supply pressure,B) saturation pressure in thegenerator, and, C) the steam valveposition. With steady steam supplypressure the flow can be controlledquite well with the valve positionalone. However, in cases wherebuilding steam supply pressurevariations do occur various flowrates would occur. The controlsystem would sense this via theabsorption fluid pressures andtemperature, and then makeadjustments as necessary.

Today’s Steam Input Flow Controlincorporated in our ABSD and ABTFchillers utilizes steam pressuretransducers to measure thepressures to the valve and at themachine. This information is thenutilized to calculate steam flow todetermine the proper valve positionduring these undesired pressurechanges. The energy valve has astepper control motor with 16,300

steps of resolution providing veryprecise valve position control. Theflow control algorithm and the finitecontrol of the stepper motor providethe best possible steam inputcontrol.

Adjustable Frequency Drive (AFD) The low temperature solution pumpand absorber spray pump flow rateare controlled by adjusting theoperational speed of the pumps.This is done by the AFD’s. The mainunit control panel outputs an analogsignal to the AFD’s that drive thesolution pumps at the desired speedto provide the correct amount ofsolution flow for the machine loadcondition. This section discusses theAFD.

AFD Description: An adjustable frequency AC drive isa device for controlling the speed ofan AC motor by changing thefrequency of the power supplied tothe motor. The adjustable frequencydrive is a solid-state powerconversion unit that receives 3phase, 60 Hz input power, converts itto DC power, filters it, and theninverts it to provide motor powerthat is modulated to the frequencydesired. The AC drive also regulatesthe output voltage in proportion tothe frequency to provide anominally constant ratio of voltageto frequency as required by thecharacteristics of the AC motor.

AFD Operation within theAbsorption SystemThe output from the AFD's providespower for the Absorber (4B2) andLow Temp Solution (4B3) pumps.

Operating FrequencyFigure 11 illustrates the solutionrange of frequencies used for typicalpump motor control, 25 Hzminimum to 54 Hz maximum. Theminimum and maximum stopvalues, used in this example, are thefrequency utilized range. The endpoints will change by machine sizeand are factory selected. The endstop locations, indicated in Figure11, illustrate the difference betweenavailable and actual frequencies thatcould be used during a factorycalibration of the controls.

Purge System Operation

The machine is factory leak checkedto high standards. Hermetic integrityis the focus of this design sincestability of the unit vacuum isrequired to maintain chillerefficiency and reliability. Consistentmaintenance practice will ensurethat the factory established hermeticintegrity is maintained. Non-condensables that accumulate in themachine must be removed bypurging.

Absorber Removal of Non-CondensablesAbsorber removal of non-condensables from theabsorber/evaporator shell isaccomplished via the pickup tubesand the eductor. Depending on thechiller configuration, the purgepickup tubes will be through acollection chamber or drop downtubes. Refer to Figures 12 and 13 tosee the differences.

The eductor uses the solution beingpumped by the Low TemperatureSolution Pump (LTSP) to remove thenon-condensables from thechamber and pickup tubes. Thedischarge of the eductor is to thesuction side of the LTSP where thenon-condensable are transported tothe Low Temperature Generator(LTG). The dilute solution pumpedthrough the LTSP carries the non-condensable to the LTG section. Inthe LTG the non-condensable arereleased from solution and migrateto the lower pressure of thecondenser. From the condenser, thePurifier Purge removes the non-condensable by creating even alower pressure in the purge tank.Any non-condensable from the hightemperature generator are passed tothe condenser through a vent line.The Purifier Purge pumpout cycleinitiates and terminates per thesuction temperature of thecompressor. The lower temperaturecreates a lower pressure to drawnon-condensables from thecondenser into the purge collectiontank.

Timed PumpoutThe purge system will initiate a“timed pumpout” cycle periodically,as determined by the timedpumpout settings within the ServiceSettings field start-up menu. Thispumpout will pump out of theabsorber via the lower motorizedvalve. Usage depends on machinecharacteristics and load conditions.

Automatic Purifier™ Purge Operation Automatic purge operation occurswith the absorption machine “on”.The normal mode of operation iswith the purge set to “On” on thecontrol panel clear language display.With “On” purge operation, thepurge condensing unit operatesduring chiller operation, andvacuum pump runs continuously.The condensing unit draws non-condensables out of the condenserto a non-condensable collectiontank.

The purge senses when thecollection tank contains non-condensables via suctiontemperature and executes thepumpout cycle as necessary. Apumpout valve opens to allow thevacuum pump to expel thecollection tank of non-condensables.Pumpout time is monitored andstored for analysis.

If the purge suction temperaturedrops below the 30°F [-1.1°C] inhibitlevel, the purge system will go into a“standby” mode.

Automatic operation of the purgesystem when the chiller is in the offposition is slightly different. Onlythe vacuum pump operates and themotorized valve(s) open and closebased on the purge pumpout timeand duration interval defined in theField Start-up menu.

Purge Components

Purifier Purge OperationThe purifier purge is active when thepurge-condensing unit is powered.The evaporator coil of thecondensing unit is used to condenserefrigerant vapor in the purgecollection tank. This results in aslightly lower pressure in the purgecollection tank thus, drawingrefrigerant vapor and non-condensables into the purgecollection tank. Refrigerant vaporand non-condensables enter thepurge tank through a pickup lineconnected at the bottom of thepurge tank.

Once inside the tank, the refrigerantvapor condenses on the purge tankcoil and falls to the bottom of thetank, leaving non-condensables toaccumulate. Liquid refrigerantreturns to the condenser throughthe return line. The pickup andreturn lines have isolation valvesthat can be closed when tank serviceis required.

Purifier Purge OperatingCycle

Figure 16 illustrates the cycle of theactive purge.

As non-condensables accumulate inthe purge tank (1) the availablecondensing surface in the tankbecomes limited, and thecondensing unit compressor suctiontemperature (2) will begin to fall.When the condensing unitcompressor suction temperaturedrops to the pumpout temperature,a sensor signals the purge moduleand a pumpout cycle begins. Non-condensables in the purge tank arethen evacuated with a vacuumpump. As the non-condensables areremoved from the purge tank, thecondensing unit compressor suctiontemperature increases. Thiscondensing temperature is againsensed at the purge module that willterminate the pumpout cycle whenthis temperature rises sufficiently.The pumpout suction temperaturevaries in relationship to the unitscondensing temperature. Thisallows purge operation withcondensing temperatures from 50°Fto 180°F [10°C to 82°C].

Duringlow ambient temperature periodsthe backlight will illuminate. This isdone by the control modulecontrolling the backlight current,based on the equipment roomambient temperature.

MenusThe display includes all operationstatus, reports, settings, service, anddiagnostic messages. Details ofthese menus are discussed later inthis section

Alarm LED

1. The single red LED located to theright of the display will BLINKwhenever a machine manual reset(MMR) diagnostic exists andmanual machine reset is requiredto restore operation.

2. The alarm LED will illuminatecontinuously when a service testitem is placed into manual modeoperation. The LED serves as areminder that something remainsin manual mode.

Normal machine operation does notrequire manual mode operation ofany service tests (passwordprotected) items.

Operator Interface (LCLD)Operation

KeypadFigure 17 illustrates the operatorinterface keypad. The keypad is asealed membrane type with 16 keysarranged 4 by 4. The keys areseparated into three fields:

1. Report keys are located across thetop row and are used for viewingof preformatted informationmenus.

2. The second row of keys aresetting’s group menus.

3. Functional keys are located acrossthe bottom two rows and are usedto input changes.

The functional keys are discussednext since the operation determineshow the user communicates withthe report and setting’s menus.

Functional KeysThe Next and Previous keys causethe display to step through thevarious menus within a group. Thereport group will sequence aroundto the top or bottom of the groupwhen the end or beginning isreached, respectively. The (+) and (-)keys cause the setting beingdisplayed to increase or decrease,respectively. If the (+) or (-) key isheld down for more than 1/2 secondit will increment or decrement thesetting continuously at 10 countsper second, until the key is released.(Settings do not wrap around whenthe end of range is reached.) Oncethe (+) or (-) key has been pressed toselect a particular setting, the Enterkey or Cancel key must be pressed.(The Next or Previous keys will notadvance until Enter or Cancel ispressed.) A Setting is not changeduntil the Enter key is pressed. TheCancel key is pressed if a changedsetting should not be saved. Whenthe Enter key is pressed the displaywill blank out momentarily toindicate to the operator that thekeystroke was recognized.

If the boundaries of a specificselection are exceeded the operatorinterface will display out of rangeand will not allow that selection tobe entered.

When Auto is pressed the chiller willenter an auto mode of operation.When Stop is pressed the chiller willstop, entering the “Unit is Preparingto Shutdown” mode.

During the five-second period amessage indicating the optionalemergency stop command will bedisplayed. The Stop key is located inthe lower right hand corner.

IMPORTANT

If the Stop key is pressed a secondtime within five seconds animmediate “Panic Stop” will beexecuted, overriding the normal“Unit is Preparing to Shutdown”mode.

To restart the dilution cycle, pressthe Stop key. To reenter auto modepress Auto. If the leaving watertemperature does not exceed thedifferential, to start the dilution cycleis entered for the duration of thetimer, and “Auto waiting need tocool” will be displayed along withdilution cycle time remaining. If theleaving water temperature is greaterthan differential to start, then therestart auto sequence will occur.

When the Auto or Stop key ispressed the display will go to thefirst display of the Chiller Reportindicating the current operatingmode.

Operator Interface Detail

This section provides detailed menuinformation.

Report Menus

The Report Keys (top row) allow theoperator to access four reportgroups that are labeled CUSTOM,CHILLER, CYCLE, and PUMP/PURGE.The CUSTOM report is formatted bythe machine operator. The reportgroups (CHILLER, CYCLE, andPURGE/PUMP) have preformattedmenus.

When a report group key is pressedthe menu header is displayed. Theheader display indicates the title ofthe report group and a briefsummary of the reports contained inthe group. This enables a user toquickly review each report header todetermine if the desired informationis in the group. The header alsoserves as the top of the reportindicator.

Custom ReportThe Custom Report containsinformation selected by theoperator. The custom report sectionallows the user to select and displayup to twenty items of their choiceselected from the CHILLER, CYCLE,and/or PUMP/PURGE report groups.The Custom report is the only reportwhere the displayed information isselected by the user.

The custom report can easily beprogrammed by the followingsequence:

Menu Items can be duplicated in thecustom report by pressing the (+)key, when the desired report isbeing displayed from one of theother report menus. The customreport group can contain up totwenty entries. Attempting to enteranother report when the usercustom report is full results in thedisplay indicating “User Report ->Full.” To change or remove reportsin the custom report group, simplypress the (-) key while it is beingdisplayed and the report item isremoved.

The custom report sequence startswith the following header display:

Settings Menus

Operator Settings The Settings keys (second row)allow the operator to select fromfour menu groups. Entering a groupallows the operator to select anyitems contained within the group. Asetting’s group starts at a headerdisplay when the selected setting’skey is pressed.

Operator Level PasswordThe operator settings, servicesettings (basic setup), anddiagnostics group menu items canbe secured by an operator levelpassword.

This feature is predetermined andset at the factory. If operatorpassword is desired contact yourlocal Trane service company. On allmachines, this feature is selectedwithin a higher level securityaccessible within the service levelpassword field start-up group.

When this feature is enabled, thedisplay following the header willstate either “Settings in this menuare LOCKED or UNLOCKED.” IfLOCKED, the second line will state“Enter password to unlock.”Operator level password is

(-+-+-+ & Enter). An incorrectpassword will result in the message“access denied.” If UNLOCKED, thesecond line will state “Press (Enter)to lock.” Pressing ENTER will lock allthe settings within the three groups(operator settings, service settings(basic setup), and diagnosticgroups). When locked, menu itemscan be viewed, however, the secondline of the displays will not indicate“Press +/- to change setting” andany attempt to change a setting willcause the second line tomomentarily indicate “setting islocked.” To UNLOCK, sequence backto the screen that states enterpassword to unlock the three groups(operator settings, service settings(basic setup), and the diagnosticsgroups).

When “Service Settings, Field Start-up” selection of this feature isdisabled the previous operatorpassword displays and indicationsof locked or unlocked is bypassedand is not shown.

The Service Settings menu hasthree submenus within it. The first isnon-password protected andconsists of all the settings, featureenables, set points, and so forth.While they are seldom changed by auser, changes in them do notseriously effect the protection orreliability of the chiller.

The other submenus (field start-upand machine configuration) areprotected, each with a separateservice level password. These arefor changing parameters andsettings regarding fieldcommissioning and fundamentalprotection and control of the chillersubsystems (Field Start-up) or forprogramming of the unit controlmodule (UCM) as to how thespecific chiller was built in theFactory (Machine Configuration).

Once properly set, these menusshould never be changed againwithout specific knowledge of theeffects of the changes. In rareinstances, certain field problemsmay be corrected by makingchanges in these protected menusbut certain aspects of chillerreliability may be compromised. Themain reason these are accessible atall is for field commissioning and toallow for the programming ofservice replacement modules.

Service Tests The Service Test menu providesaccess to screens used to changefrom “Auto” mode to Manual mode.Manual mode control overridesspecific auto control functions. Testsand status screens provide a meansto check the operation of someoutput and input devices.

Anytime a manual mode is selectedthe alarm light will remain on.

Normal machine operation does notrequire the use of any service testitems; therefore they remain withina password-protected (+ + - - + +)menu. Manual operation of theseitems will effect chiller operationand will cause unreliable operation,if left in manual mode. It is thereforerecommended that only qualifiedpersonnel use service tests.

Diagnostics MenuThe Diagnostics Menu contains bothactive and historical information.The menu also contains the facilityto clear active diagnostics, historicdiagnostics, and purge diagnosticsas individual groups. To clearlyenunciate the occurrence of adiagnostic, the display willautomatically go to this menu anddisplay certain messages asexplained below.

New Diagnostic Display SequenceWhen a new diagnostic is sensed bythe system, the display will reset tothe diagnostic menu. A “one-time”screen will be displayed to informthe user that a new diagnostic hasbeen detected.

This “one-time” screen will varydepending on the type of diagnosticdetected. The two major categoriesof diagnostics are those which areinformational warning only (IFW),and those which have resulted inmachine shutdown; machineshutdown manual reset required(MMR) and machine shutdown autoreset (MAR).

Maintenance

This section contains maintenanceinformation for the Steam or HotWater Absorption Chiller.

Daily MaintenanceTo ensure reliable, safe and efficientoperation the following itemsshould be checked daily as routinemaintenance. This will avoidunnoticed problems that could leadto down time, and provides dailydata that can highlight trends,locating potential problems beforethey occur:

1. Record and review operatingdata. Use the operating log foundon the next page and log thepoints suggested.

Familiarization with the daily logtemperatures and other itemsallows the operator to identifywhen a change occurs, possiblyindicating an abnormal condition.Review the daily operating historywith the service personnel asnecessary or at the nextinspection. (Verify temperaturesand pressure gauges foroperation.)

2. Make sure the machine isoperating properly. Cycle themachine on and off periodically tomake sure it starts and stopsproperly. This allows safetydevices to sequence through astart-up to confirm operation.

3. Check the cooling tower forcorrect water treatment, machineinlet temperature and flow, andcheck system chilled water(Evaporator Circuit). Check waterflow pressure drop daily. Cleanstrainers yearly.

The owner should engage theservices of a qualified watertreatment specialist to obtain thetreatment needed to control tubefouling and maintain machineefficiency. Untreated orimproperly treated water willreduce machine efficiency, andmay require extensive tubecleaning or possible tubereplacement, if the chemicalbalance of the water is notcontrolled.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN

Always allow the chiller to completea dilution cycle beforedisconnecting the chiller powersource.

Seasonal Maintenance

Cooling Season PreliminaryReminders

The following items should bechecked before seasonal start-up.Contact you local Trane servicerepresentative to perform theservice.

1. Check unit vacuum. Check theactual unit internal vacuum todetermine if purging is required,before the unit can be safelystarted after extendedshutdown. See unit vacuumcheckout. The maximum internalpressure is dependent on themachine temperature. If purgingis required follow purginginstructions (Purge section).

2. Determine the purge pumpcondition. Run the pump andverify performance. Check theultimate pressure performanceand change oil/repair pump ifrequired.

3. Prepare machine for cooling. Fillcondenser, vent air from thecondenser water boxes. Ventingwill remove air from within thepiping and avoid nuisance tripsof the condenser flow switchinput.

4. Check all piping connections forpossible water leakage. Checkabsorber, condenser, evaporatorwater piping. Assure that any offseason work and reassembly iscomplete.

5. Check pressure drop across thechiller evaporator and condensersections. Compare to unit designconditions.

6. Visually inspect electricalsystem. Look for signs of anyalterations performed since thelast operational season, andverify wiring is intact. CleanAFD’s of dust and grime.

7. Confirm the chilled/hot waterpump, cooling water pump andcooling tower is interlocked.Check the field proof ofoperation interlocking wiring forthe chilled/water flow, and forcondenser water flow.

8. Determine electrical condition ofpump motor contactors.

9. Test run the unit. Check machinecontrol sequence.

10. Replace bromide filter.

11. Purge the machine of non-condensibles. Check purge rateafter the machine is started.Keep machine energy ratereduced until purge ratediminishes during unit operation

12. Log unit-operating data. Checktemperatures and pressuresthroughout the fluid cycle. Checkthat LTSP, ASP, and RP Ampdraw and voltages are normaland not excessive.

13. Water treatment It isrecommended that all tubes betested periodically by a qualifiednondestructive tube testingservice. This testing will confirmtube condition and identifypotential problems.

Extended Shutdown

Drain water circuits (evaporator,condenser, and absorber)completely, and blow out all waterfrom tubes and water boxes.

Main power must remain applied tothe unit to allow automatic purging.

Seasonal Start-Up UnitVacuum Check

Start-up after extended shutdownshould not be attempted until theunit vacuum is measured andcompared with Chart 1. Anycombination of temperature andpressure that falls on or below theline of Chart 1 indicates a safecondition. The unit purging isrequired before start-up if themeasured vacuum is above theacceptable limit.

Check unit internal vacuum at theabsorber service valve located onthe side of the absorber shell. Thisvalve is above the liquid level in thechiller.

Purging During Extended UnitShutdownDuring periods of extended shutdown, when chiller will not beoperated, the operator can open anadditional hand valve to provide apath for non-condensables betweenthe evaporator/absorber section andthe generator/condenser section.Reclose this manual valve before thechiller is placed into operation.

Purifier Purge Service PumpoutOperation Servicing may require continuouspumping out of non-condensables.In this case, “service pumpout”mode can be used.

To enter Service pumpout modeselect “Service Pumpout - ON” atthe purge screen within theOperators Settings group. Thecondensing unit, vacuum pump, andvalve all turn “on.” Service pumpoutwill run continuously until manuallyselected to another mode. Nominutes will accumulate on thepumpout timer in the servicepumpout mode.

Auxillary Absorber Pumpout -ManualThe absorber is automaticallydepleted of non-condensablesduring chiller operation by theeductor operation, and the absorbermotorized valve. If manual pumpoutis desired, this can be accomplishedby way of the manual hand valveand the temporary connection of anauxiliary vacuum pump. Manualpurging the absorber must only beperformed during machineoperation when the dilute solutionlevel is below the top of theabsorber.

Purge as a Maintenance ToolPurge activity indicates non-condensables within the chiller.Excessive purging activity mayindicate an air leak or unusualinhibitor consumption. An inhibitoranalysis may be required. The 24hour fault timer monitors the totalpumpout time within any 24 hourperiod, and if it exceeds the presettimer setting a fault signal isgenerated to alert the operator thatpurge activity is excessive. Theoperator interface provides accessto this data in the pump/purgereport group.

Note: The pumpout time onlyaccumulates the minutes ofpumpout activity of the automaticpumpout operation. It does notaccumulate the time of pumpout forservice pumpout operation or timedpumpout operation.

Condenser and AbsorberTube Care

Internal fouling of the condenserand absorber tubes will seriouslyreduce their ability to transfer heatto the cooling water.

The resulting higher temperatureand pressure have severalundesirable effects.

1. The refrigerant condensingcapability of the condenser isreduced.

2. The absorber saturation pressureis increased because the solutionis not cooled.

3. The higher condenser saturationtemperature may cause theformation of hydrogen gas, whichmust be purged from theabsorber.

NOTE: To insure reliable andefficient machine operation, thecooling water must be properlytreated. The Trane Companyassumes no responsibility forequipment failure resulting fromuntreated or improperly treatedwater.

Cleaning the Tower WaterCircuit

Check water flow pressure dropdaily. Clean strainers yearly or asconditions require.

Water available for coolingfrequently contains minerals thatwill precipitate out on the walls ofthe tower water circuit in the form ofa carbonate scale. Cooling towerscollect foreign material that willdeposit in the tubes and limitmachine efficiency. At a minimum,condenser and absorber tubesshould be brushed after eachcooling season.

To insure maximum efficiency, thecooling water circuit must be keptfree of both sludge and scale. Even avery thin coating of scale will greatlydecrease the heat transfer capacityof the absorber and condenserbundles. The condenser tubesshould be inspected once a year todetermine if mechanical cleaning isrequired and if the water treatmentis effective.

Two methods for cleaning the tubesare:1. Mechanical2. Chemical

The mechanical method is used toremove sludge and loose materialfrom the tubes. Access to the tubesis obtained by removing theabsorber and condenser waterheaders. To loosen the material,work a nylon or brass bristle brushthrough the tubes (a brass brush isrecommended). After the materialhas been loosened, flush the tubeswith clear water.

Scale deposits are best removed bychemical means. The tower watercircuit is constructed of copper, steeland cupro-nickel.

Figure 27 illustrates a typicalchemical-cleaning hookup. Thecleaning hookup is made to pipefittings installed in the absorbersupply and condenser return piping.

All materials used in the externalcirculation system, quantity ofsolution, duration of cleaning periodand any required safety precautionsshould be approved by the companyfurnishing the materials orperforming the cleaning. Table 6lists the liquid volume (ingallons/liters) of the tubes and waterboxes.

Water Box Cover BoltingRequirements(Refer to Table 7)

To insure gasket sealing, the boltingprocedure of covers must be asfollows:• Use anti-seize compound on all

bolts before installing water boxcovers.

• Insert and snug up the first 6 to 10bolts towards the centerline ofeach cover. Insure the cover is flatagainst the mating surface and thebolts are just more than fingertight.

• Tighten bolts starting from the centerat top and bottom of each cover andworking outwards to the corners.

Cooling TowerTemperature Control

Control

1. Cooling tower water temperaturesmust be maintained at or above65 F for reliable operation. Controlpanel logic circuits allow start-upat temperatures well below thedesign selection temperature andwill protect against unsafeconditions.

2. To avoid oscillatory effects oftower water fluctuations beinginfluenced on the leaving chilledwater temperature entering towerwater temperature control shouldbe kept constant.

Any time tower enteringtemperature is at or below design,the potential for “Low coolingentering water temperature limit”exists. Depending on the chillerload, the actual temperature of thewater will determine the likelihoodto see this limit actively limitingmachine capacity. The further awayfrom design that the watertemperature deviates the morelimiting potential exists. This controlsystem logic feature is built in toassure continued machine operationand machine reliability, and tocontrol the potential for saltcarryover and/or crystallization.

The maximum rate of towertemperature change must be kept toa minimum. Inherent problems withlarger tower water fluctuations are:

• First, the potential to drop theleaving water temperature to thechillers differential to stop Setpoint.

• Second, cause a crystallizationdetection and recovery cycle to beentered (typically lastsapproximately 11 minutes afterwhich the chiller will restart andproceed to reestablish chilledwater temperature control).

• Inefficient operation becauseunable to maintain margin.

A cooling tower bypass or variablespeed fan is recommended forstable control of the chilled watercircuit.

Do not touch the belt while it isrotating.

Serious personal injury can resultfrom contact with rotating parts.Turn power OFF before servicingbelt.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN

Belt tension maintenance isimportant. Too tight or looseadjustment can cause damage tothe shaft bearings. Too loose anadjustment allows the belt to slipand shorten the lifetime of the belt.

1. Check pulley alignment and V-belttension. The belt should depressabout 1/2 to 3/4" [13 to 19 mm]under light hand pressure appliedto midway between the pulleys.Belt adjustments are made byloosening the motor hold-downbolts and sliding the motortoward or away from the vacuumpump as required.

2. Adjust the tension of the belt onceagain a week after unit operationto compensate for stretch due tobreak-in.

3. The adjustment of the belt tensionshould be made by parallelshifting of the motor. Tightenadjusting nuts or bolts securelyafter adjustments.

4. If required, clean the purge drivebelts with an approved beltcleaner.

Periodic Checking

Check the following pointsperiodically.

1. Check if bolts and nuts are tight.

2. Check to see if the gas ballastvalve and solenoid valve isoperable.

3. Check for leakage of oil from theshaft seal or pump casing.

4. Replace vacuum pump oilperiodically to maintain pumpperformance. Check the oilturbidity through the oil levelwindow.

Oil ReplacementReplace oil when the ultimatepressure of the pump itself isunsatisfactory or the oil becomestoo dirty. Although the oil becomessomewhat dirty during operation,the pump can be operated providingan adequate suction vacuum isobtained. Milky oil indicates highmoisture content. Excessivepumping and/or purging whennoncondensables are not presentwill cause water vapor to be drawnfrom the chiller which condensesinto the oil. Limit the use of servicepumpout and verify correct ballastsettings, and verify timed pumpoutsettings.

Replace the oil using the followingprocedures:

1. Warm the oil by operating thepump for approximately fifteenminutes with the intake closed.Stop the purge operation fromoperator setting group menu.Open the drain oil cock and drain,almost all the oil. Most of the oilwill drain out freely.

WWAARRNNIINNGG

Do not touch the belt while it isrotating.

Serious personal injury can resultfrom contact with rotating parts.Turn power OFF before servicingbelt.

The small residue remaining in thepump can be forced out by turningthe pump pulley by hand, with theexhaust port closed and the intakeopen. The oil will spurt out suddenlyand should be deflected into thedrain pan. Avoid extensive operationwith the exhaust port sealed;excessive internal pressure mayloosen the shaft seal.

WWAARRNNIINNGG

Use extreme care. The oil will behot and can cause severe burns.

Oil Filling

2. After removing all oil, close thedrain and pour three or fourounces of clean Duo-seal oil intothe intake port. Open the exhaustport and run the pump for a shortperiod to completely circulate thenew oil. Drain the oil and forceout the residue as above. Repeatflushing with new Duo-seal oiluntil flushing remains clean andfree of color and foreign matter.One or two flushings normallycleans accumulated residue andprotects the pump.

Operate the pump and check theultimate vacuum achievable.

3. Repeat steps 1 - 2 several times ifthe pump does not perform.

4. Replace the dust cap. Start thepurge pump with the manualhand valve closed and allow it tooperate one hour to warm the oil.Recheck the oil level with the oilat operating temperature.

Recommended OilWelch Duo Seal Oil, Oil-1

Once a YearLubricate the purge pump motorwith a good grade of machine oil.

Solution Maintenance

To maintain machine efficiency, thelithium bromide solution must beanalyzed periodically to determine ifthe inhibitor levels are withinacceptable limits. A laboratory testis required to determine theinhibitor level (and other additivelevels), and any necessaryadjustments. To maintain the correctlevels, additive and inhibitor mustbe added periodically to the lithiumbromide solution. It isrecommended that the solution beanalyzed once a year if the machineis used for comfort cooling andtwice a year if it is in continuous orcritical. (Monitor the lapse timemeter and provide this informationwhen lithium bromide analysis isperformed). Contact your local TraneService Agency for qualified labtesting.

Air leaks will accelerate inhibitordepletion resulting in excessivehydrogen production. Sinceabsorption machines are unable tocool effectively when excessivehydrogen is formed, machineoperation under these conditions isnot recommended until the leak iseliminated.

Note: This machine uses lithiumbromide inhibited with lithiummolybdate and lithium hydroxide.Lithium bromide that contains otherinhibitors cannot be used in thisequipment.

Solution Filter

Rinsing the FilterAs the filter is used to remove solidsfrom the lithium bromide solution,some inhibited solution (lithiummolybdate in the lithium bromide)will be collected with the solids.Periodically this inhibited solutionmust be returned to the solution forproper filter operation and beforeany time the filter is cleaned.Introducing refrigerant water todilute the brine solution will returnthe lithium molybdate inhibitedsolution but not remove the filteredout solids and particles. Also, thiswill allow for easier filter elementcleanup or changeout since theservicer will be dealing withprimarily refrigerant water versus astronger lithium bromideconcentration.

The filter assembly should not beused for continuous operation. Itshould be periodically valved intooperation as needed for cleanuppurposes only. If the filter has beenin operation for more than onemonth, the following proceduremust be completed to insure properoperation and solution maintenance.

ProcedureBefore opening the filter to clean orexchange elements, the followingshould be completed:

1. Close the inlet feed valve (LTSP onHorizon) stopping the flow ofLithium Bromide to the filter.

2. Open the refrigerant pumpdischarge service valve and theservice valve from step 1. Thepurpose is to provide refrigerantflow through the filter assembly.

3. Operate the refrigerant pump forapproximately 5 minutes. Do notexceed 10 minutes as this maycause excessive lost of refrigerantwater. The refrigerant flow will bethrough the filter and returning tothe brine side of the chiller.Operation of the pump for toolong a period could deplete allrefrigerant water. Continueprocedure until the entire filtercanister feels cold.

4. Close the refrigerant pumpdischarge valve and the filterassembly service valve.

5. Change or clean filter elements asneeded. Refer to Cleaning theFilter.

ABS-M-10A-E4 57

Cleaning the FilterPeriodic cleaning of the filter isnecessary. Experience has shown anew filter, versus a full or pluggedfilter, will have negligible differentialpressure between the inlet andoutlet; therefore other means ofdetermining flow can be used, forexample, a sight glass, flow meters,and so forth. The particle size ratingfor the cleanable filter isapproximately 150 micron. Thedisposable filter is rated atapproximately 30 microns. Whilethese should not be consideredabsolute values, they do provide arange of cleanliness that thesolution can attain. These ratingsare based on nominal flow and willvary as flow rates vary.

To clean the filter, follow the givenprocedure.

Precaution: As will all chemicals,avoid getting the solution ON YOUor IN YOU. Do not eat or drink whilehandling the Lithium Bromidesolution. The technician should usepersonal protective handlingequipment. This should include, butnot limited to, gloves for handprotection, splash goggles or safetyglasses, and an apron or equivalentfor body protection.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN

LITHIUM BROMIDE!

LITHIUM BROMIDE IS NORMALLYNONTOXIC; HOWEVER, OTHERCHEMICALS MIXED WITH THESOLUTION CAN CAUSE IRRITATIONAND ADDITIVE VAPORS CANCAUSE NAUSEA. ALWAYS PROVIDEVENTILATION TO REMOVEACCUMULATED VAPORS.

In case of accidental contact with thesolution, wash the affected area withwater immediately.

Precaution: Make certain thatappropriate application equipmentis locked and tagged-out safely, asapplicable. This should include, butnot limited to, pumps, motors andother devices that may affectsolution flow or pressure.

1. Close the filter system isolationvalves. This isolates the filtersystem from the unit. Servicingthe filter will not affect unitoperation.

2. Remove the pipe plug from theservice valve locatedimmediately next to the filter.Open the valve to break thevacuum in the filter system. Acontainer may be necessary tocatch solution draining from thevalve.

3. Open the filter assembly byloosening the filter assemblybolt located in the center of thefilter head. The filter may bedrained prior to disassembly viathe drain bolt located on thebottom of the filter tank.

4. Remove the filter tank from thefilter head.

5. Clean the filter tank and thereusable filter element. Theelement is most effectivelycleaned by backwashing with ahigh-pressure spray device.

6. Place the clean element in thefilter tank.

7. Reassemble the filter, makingsure that the o-rings are properlyseated. A thin layer of siliconegrease applied to the o-ringsassures a leaktight seal.

8. Tighten the filter assembly bolt.This should be torqued to 50-55ft-lbs.

9. Use the service valve locatedimmediately next to the filter toevacuate the filter system. Afterevacuation, close and plug thevalve.

10. Open the filter system isolationvalves.

Pump Operational Careand Maintenance

OperationFirst time operation — on initialoperation or after installation oroverhaul, make the following checksbefore putting the unit back intooperation. Be sure pump iscompletely filled with liquid. Rununit for only a few seconds to makesure it operates smoothly. Thereshould be no unusual vibration,grinding, or scrapping noises.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN

Do not run this unit dry. Evenmomentary operation withoutpump and motor casing filled withliquid will damage bearings.

If pump trips on overload currentperform the following checks:

a. Note discharge pressure with thepump running.

b. Stop motor, but do not close oradjust valves.

c. Disconnect all power.

d. Reverse any two line leads atmotor starter to reverse directionof rotation.

e. Start motor and note dischargepressure. The direction of rotationthat provides the higher dischargepressure is the correct rotation.

Pump MaintenanceThe solution pump should bedisassembled and inspected atroutine intervals. The need toinspect or service the pumps areexpected to be very infrequent. Theexpected interval between start-upand the first parts replacement isapproximately 50,000 hours ofnormal operation. This assumesproper solution analysis andmaintenance is performed. Highamounts of suspended solids mayreduce the design life. Parts shouldbe replaced as determined by aqualified Trane Service Engineer.

Since the interval betweeninspection and repair is quite long itis logical to replace the wearingcomponents to a like new conditionanytime that the pumps are opened.Therefore pump parts should beordered and on hand any time thepumps are opened. Table 9 indicatesitems that should be inspected andthe action to be taken, whenever thepumps are opened. For cutawayview of pump see Figure 29.

WWAARRNNIINNGG

Certain procedures common torefrigeration system service mayexpose operating and/or servicingpersonnel to liquid and/or vaporousrefrigerant. To avoid injury or deathdue to skin exposure or inhalationof refrigerant, closely follow allsafety procedures described in thematerial safety data sheet, and to alllabels on refrigerant containers.

Only certified service personnelshould service the refrigerantsystem. To avoid injury or death dueto electrical shock, never openaccess panels to inspect or servicethe unit without first opening alldisconnect switches.

Use caution when working oncertain areas of this unit. Surfacetemperatures may exceed 150°F[65.1°C] on the condensing unit.Contact with bare skin could resultin burns and injuries.

Solution Pumps

This section provides detail of thethree pumps located on themachine. Also, this section includesmotor and pump construction andpump motor cooling and lubrication.

PumpsThere are three individual pumpsoperating within the absorptioncycle. Refer to the absorption cyclefluid schematic, Figure 3, whichillustrates the fluids and pipingarrangements associated with eachpump.

• The low temperature solutionpump (LTSP) supplies dilutelithium bromide solution from theabsorber through the heatexchanger then to the lowtemperature generator forconcentration.

• The absorber spray pump (ASP)supplies intermediate solution,which is a mixture of dilute andconcentrated to the absorbersprays.

• The refrigerant pump (RP) suppliesrefrigerant to the evaporatorsprays.

The (LTSP) and (ASP) operate atvariable speeds. A solid-stateadjustable frequency drive (AFD)controls motor speed in response toan analog signal provided by theunit control module. The AFD alsoserves as the start/stop andovercurrent device for theassociated pump motors.

The refrigerant pump (RP) operatesat constant speed controlled bymotor starter contactors. Therefrigerant pump circuit has anindividual current overloadprotection device, and each pumphas a winding temperaturethermostat.

Motor and Pump ConstructionThe pump is a single stage,hermetically sealed, centrifugalpump designed for Absorptionapplication. The pump and motorconsists of two sections: the motorstator shell, and the pump casing.The motor and impeller can beremoved from the pump casingwithout disturbing suction anddischarge piping by first separatingthe two sections, then removing themotor rotor and impeller with themotor stator shell as an assembly.The rotor is supported with two self-centering bearings that areinternally tapered to mate withcomplimentary shaped journals onmotor shaft. A coil spring holds thebearings in firm contact with thejournals and compensatesautomatically for wear.

Motor Cooling and LubricationPart of the pumped liquid flows fromthe casing volute through a spacingbetween the wearing ring housingand the attached bearing cap in thewearing ring housing assemblythrough the bearing cap flange tothe cavity between the welded statorliner and rotor liner. The liquidreturns to the pump suction throughthe hollow shaft. The liquid coolsand lubricates the bearings, andcarries away heat generated by themotor rotor and stator.

General Information

The following section containsgeneral troubleshootinginformation. When an abnormalmachine condition exists, the unitcontrol panel clear language display(CLD) will indicate the condition anda brief message. Always determinethe cause and perform correctiveaction before you restore fullmachine operation.

Review the indicated message andproceed to the appropriate sectiondefined below.

Control Panel OperatorInterface (Clear LanguageDisplay) Diagnostics

There are three types of diagnosticsscreens. They are:

“Informational Warning Only” (IFW)diagnostics that do not shutdownthe chiller.

“Machine Shutdown AutomaticReset” (MAR); This diagnostic turnsthe MAR alarm relay ON, howeverthe machine will automatically resetand allow restart when the conditioncorrects itself.

“Machine Shutdown ResetRequired” (MMR); This diagnosticturns the MMR alarm relay “ON”.The alarm relay turns “OFF” whenthe diagnostic is manually reset.

The second line of the diagnostictypically identifies additionalinformation intended to assist theoperator to define and correctproblems. Contact the local TraneService Representative forassistance when necessary.

The reason for all diagnostic mustbe determined and corrected. Do notreset and restart the chiller as thiscan cause a repeat failure.

After corrective action, the chillercan be reset and/or restarted. In thecase of “Unit Shutdown - ResetRequired” diagnostic types, thechiller will have to be manually resetthrough the Diagnostics groupmenu.

Note: For more information and anoverview of the various types ofscreens see “Operators Guide:Using the control panel” (wherediagnostics group menu of the clearlanguage display (CLD) is explained.

Adjustable FrequencyDrive – AFD

AFD Self-DiagnosticsThe AFD controls frequency driveoperation. In the case of an AFDabnormal fault conditions, theChiller clear language display willindicate absorber spray pump, orlow temp generator pump “DriveFault.” The AFD display will indicatethe current fault condition. If a faultcondition occurs, use the referenceinstruction manual and/or call thelocal Trane Service agency todiscuss the fault and determine thecause.

Pump Troubles andCorrections

In the event that trouble occurs referto the Troubleshooting Chart, Table11, for a listing of the more commonpump troubles and probable causes.

The chiller control panel requiresproof of water flow for bothevaporator (chilled) and absorbercondenser circuits. A flow switchand motor starter auxiliary contactconnections satisfy thisrequirement. This input must behard wired to the chiller controlsystem. The flow switch must be setto open when flow drops to 70% orbelow of design evaporator flow.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN

The control panel is designed with acontact closure used for control ofthe water pump operation. Theevaporator and condenser waterpumps are electrically interlockedand sequenced by the control panel.Proof of both chilled and condenserwater flow must be provided to thecontrol panel. Under no conditionscan chiller operation be terminatedby stopping chilled water flow.Under no situation can condenserwater flow exist without chilledwater flow.

The above interlocking arrangementassures proper sequence ofoperation, and helps provideprotection against mechanicalfailure from improper operation.

Required Absorber and CondenserWater Flow ControlThe chiller requires start and stopcontrol of the absorber andcondenser water flow. Thecondenser pump motor starter andwater flow control signal must behard wired in series with the chillerpanel output contacts provided.Condenser water flow must startand stop as determined by thecontrol panel. Failure to stop flowrisks evaporator freeze-up.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN

Damage caused by operationwithout proper water pump andflow sensing interlocking is notwarranteed.

Required Chilled Water Flow ControlThe chiller requires start and stopcontrol of the chilled water flow. Thechiller controls also provide a chilledwater pump off delay feature. Underno conditions can chiller operationbe terminated by stopping chilledwater flow. For remote start/stopcontrol, always use theauto/start/stop input of the chillerand allow chilled water flow tocontinue up to thirty minutes aftertermination of the machine dilutioncycle.
