Maintenance

Purge System

Because some sections of the chiller’s refrigeration system operate at less-than-atmospheric pressure, the possibility exists that air and moisture may leak into the system. If allowed to accumulate, these noncondensables become trapped in the condenser; this increases condensing pressure and compressor power requirements, and reduces the chiller’s efficiency and cooling capacity.

The Trane EarthWise Purge is the only purge system available for the CVHE, CVHF and CVHG chiller. The purge is designed to remove noncondensable gases and water from the refrigeration system. EarthWise Purge unit operation, maintenance and trouble shooting is covered by a separate operation and maintenance manual, which may be obtained from the nearest Trane office.

Overview

This section describes extended storage requirements for UCP installed CVHE, CVHF and CVHG chillers to be removed from service for an undetermined length of time.

Unit Preparation

The following steps are necessary in order to properly prepare a unit for storage.

1.Remove all liquid refrigerant if the unit is charged.

WARNING

Contains Refrigerant!

System contains oil and refrigerant and may be under positive pressure. Recover refrigerant to relieve pressure before opening the system. See unit nameplate for refrigerant type. Do not use non-approved refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or refrigerant additives.

Failure to follow proper procedures or the use of non-approved refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or refrigerant additives could result in death or serious injury or equipment damage.

2.After the liquid refrigerant is removed, using a recovery or recycle unit or vacuum pump, pull a vacuum to remove remaining refrigerant vapor from the unit.

3.After all traces of refrigerant are out of the unit, a positive nitrogen charge should be put into the unit (6 to 8 psig). This positive pressure must be checked monthly to insure no noncondensables get into the unit. Use a pressure gage on the evaporator shell to verify that the 6 to 8 psig dry nitrogen holding charge is still in the chiller. If this charge has escaped, contact a qualified service organization and the Trane sales engineer that handled the order.

4.The refrigerant charge should be stored in proper refrigerant containers. Due to possible leakage, do not store in used drums.

5.Maintain control power to the control panel. This will maintain oil temperature in the oil sump and the capability of the control panel to present report information. The Chiller Reports should be viewed once a week for normal readings. Any abnormal observation must be reported to the Trane Sales Engineer that handled the order.
