Features and Benefits

Serviceability

PreviousTrane chiller controllers included a user interface that presented all chiller data necessary for both daily tasks and service or maintenance tasks. The amount of information presented on a limited display made a number of tasks difficult. A service technician’s ability to assess and resolve chiller problems was hampered by the limited presentation of multiple pieces of chiller information.

TheTracer chiller controller adds a level of sophistication better served by a PC application that improves service technician effectiveness and minimizes chiller downtime. The Tracer chiller controller provides a user interface and main processor, DynaView, that is intended to serve only typical daily tasks. The portable, PC-based service tool software, TechView, supports service and maintenance tasks.

TheTracer chiller controller will be gradually applied to allTrane chillers. TechView will then serve as a common interface to allTrane chillers, and will customize itself based on the properties of the chiller with which it is communicating. Thus, the service technician learns only one service interface.

The panel bus is easy to troubleshoot, using LED verification of sensors. Only the defective device is replaced.

Captive screws ensure that the appropriate mounting hardware is available. TechView can communicate with individual devices or groups of devices.

TechView™

All chiller status, machine configuration settings, customizable limits, and up to 60 active or historic diagnostics are displayed through the service-tool software interface. Any PC that meets the system requirements may download the service interface software and DynaView updates from Trane’s Web site at www.trane.com.

TechView is designed to run on a customer’s laptop, which connects to DynaView with a serial cable. DynaView’s serial port is located behind a sliding door on the bottom of the DynaView enclosure. It uses a standard 9-pin male and 9-pin female RS-232 cable.

Hardware requirements for TechView:

•Pentium II, III, or higher processor

•128 MB RAM

•1024 x 768 resolution

•CD-ROM

•56K modem

•9-pin RS232 serial connection

•Windows® 95, 98, 2000

CVGF specifications

The Trane CVGF series is a revolutionary innovation in the world of commercial HVAC systems, designed to deliver unparalleled performance and energy efficiency. This air-cooled chiller line is specifically engineered to meet the demands of modern buildings, making it an ideal choice for various applications such as offices, hospitals, and educational institutions.

One of the standout features of the CVGF series is its use of the Trane Adaptive Control technology. This advancement provides the system with real-time data analytics, allowing it to automatically adjust cooling output based on environmental conditions and load requirements. This level of adaptability not only enhances occupant comfort but also contributes to significant energy savings, aligning with sustainability goals.

The CVGF chillers also incorporate a robust and efficient scroll compressor, which operates quietly and minimizes vibration. This design choice ensures reliability and longevity while reducing operational noise levels, making it suitable for installations in noise-sensitive environments. Furthermore, the scroll compressor's efficiency plays a crucial role in achieving a higher coefficient of performance (COP), which translates to lower energy costs.

In terms of environmental responsibility, the CVGF series is designed with an eco-friendly refrigerant that supports lower global warming potential (GWP). Committed to sustainability, Trane ensures that these chillers not only meet but exceed regulatory requirements, allowing businesses to operate with a reduced carbon footprint.

Another remarkable characteristic of the CVGF line is its modular design, which simplifies installation and maintenance. The units are compact and can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure, minimizing disruption during upgrades or replacements. The straightforward maintenance protocols further enhance the system’s uptime, ensuring users enjoy consistent and reliable cooling performance.

Moreover, the CVGF chillers are equipped with advanced monitoring capabilities, accessible through Trane’s proprietary software. This feature enables facility managers to oversee system performance from any location, facilitating proactive adjustments and timely maintenance interventions.

Overall, the Trane CVGF series stands out as a cutting-edge solution for effective and sustainable cooling in commercial applications. By combining innovative technologies, energy-efficient design, and user-friendly features, the CVGF offers a comprehensive approach to achieving optimal climate control while meeting the challenges of the future.
