Serviceability
TechView™
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.
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
Hardware requirements forTechView:
• Pentium II, III, or higher processor
• 128 MB RAM
• 1024 x 768 resolution
• CD-ROM
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.
• 56K modem
• 9-pin RS232 serial connection
• Windows® 95, 98, 2000
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

Features and
Benefits
• Time of day scheduling: allows the
end user to define the occupancy
period, i.e. time of the day, holiday
periods and exception schedules.
Feedforward Adaptive
Control
TheTracer chiller controller allows the
system designer to explore energy
saving strategies and allows the
centrifugal chiller to be used in ways
that were never thought possible.
Building Automation and
Chiller Plant Control
For a preprogrammable and flexible
building automation and chiller plant
control,Trane has developed theTracer
Summit™. It can control the operation
of the complete installation: chillers,
pumps, cooling towers, isolating
valves, air handlers and terminal units.
Trane can undertake full responsibility
for an optimized automation and
energy management for the entire
chiller plant.
• Optimization of the start/stop time of
the installation: based on the
programmed schedule of occupancy
and on the historical record of the
behavior of the temperatures,
calculates the optimal time of start
and stop of the installation to get the
best compromise between energy
savings and comfort of the occupants.
Feedforward Adaptive Control
Feedforward is an open-loop,
predictive control strategy designed to
anticipate and compensate for load
changes. It uses evaporator entering-
water temperature as an indication of
load change. This allows the controller
to respond faster and maintain stable
leaving-water temperatures.
• Soft loading: the soft loading function
minimizes the number of chillers that
are operated to satisfy the building
morning pull down, thus preventing
an overshoot of the actual capacity
required. Unnecessary starts are
avoided and the peak current demand
is lowered.
The main functions are:
• Chiller sequencing: equalizes the
number of running hours of the
chillers. Different control strategies are
available depending on the
Soft Loading
The chiller controller uses soft loading
except during manual operation. Large
adjustments due to load or setpoint
changes are made gradually,
configuration of the installation.
• Control of the auxiliaries: includes
input/output modules to control the
operation of the various auxiliary
equipments (water pumps, valves,
cooling towers, etc.)
preventing the compressor from
cycling unnecessarily. It does this by
internally filtering the setpoints to avoid
reaching the differential-to-stop or the
current limit. Soft loading applies to the
leaving chilled-water temperature and
current-limit setpoints.
Multi-Objective Limit Arbitration
There are many objectives that the
controller must meet, but it cannot
satisfy more than one objective at a
time.Typically, the controller’s primary
objective is to maintain the evaporator
leaving-water temperature.
Whenever the controller senses that it
can no longer meet its primary
objective without triggering a
protective shutdown, it focuses on the
most critical secondary objective.
When the secondary objective is no
longer critical, the controller reverts to
its primary objective.
Fast Restart
While the inlet guide vanes are closing,
the controller will allow the centrifugal
chiller to restart and going to a
postlube operational mode. If the
chiller shuts down on a nonlatching
diagnostic, the diagnostic has 30–60
seconds to clear itself and initiate a fast
restart. This includes momentary
power losses.

Features and
Benefits
The length of the resultant vector V is
proportional to the kinetic energy
available for conversion to static
pressure in the volute. Consequently,
for a given compressor,Vt is fixed and
Vr varies with the cooling load. With the
chiller unloading, the pressure
differential between evaporator and
condenser decreases. The compressor
matches the new load and the lower
“head” by closing the inlet guide
vanes.
Two-Stage Compressor
Widens the Application
Range
Why Centrifugal Compressors Surge
Centrifugal compressors produce their
pressure differential (head) by
converting the kinetic energy of the gas
leaving the impeller into static
pressure. The velocity of this gas is the
result of two components:
•The radial velocity component Vr,
which is directly proportional to the
refrigerant gas flow Q.
• The tangential velocity component Vt,
which is a function of both impeller
diameter D and the rotational speed
rpm.
This reduces the gas flow it draws in
and modifies its direction. Component
Vr decreases accordingly, the vector
diagram shifts and at some point, the
balance of forces breaks down.
As pressurized gas rushes backwards
through the impeller, the pressure in
the gas passages falls, allowing the
compressor to restore the balance of
forces. If the process repeats itself, the
compressor is said to surge.
1 -Vr = f (Q)
2 - Vt = f (D, RPM)
3 - V = Resultant

Two-Stage Compressors Surge Less
and Later
1 - Load Line

3 - A
To produce the same head as a single-
stage compressor, two-stage machines
use two small diameter impellers.
Component Vt is the same as on each
stage, thoughVr is the same as on a
single-stage compressor.This results in
a better balance of forces at low loads
and produces a machine with a wider
unloading capability.

InTrane centrifugal chillers, gas
prerotation vanes ahead of the
compression stage improve impeller
aerodynamic efficiency, resulting in
smoother unloading and reducing
power consumption.
Typical single-stage compressor
performance curve
The curves show that two-stage
compressors surge less and later than
single-stage machines. Intersection
point B, when the load line meets the
surge area, corresponds to a higher
part load for the single-stage
compressor than would be the case
with a two-stage compressor.Two
stage machines, therefore, have a
wider range of applications.

Application
Considerations
Water Flow
Condenser Water Limitations
Today’s technology challenges ARI’s
traditional design of three gpm per ton
through the condenser. Reduced
condenser flows are a simple and
effective way to reduce both first and
operating costs for the entire chiller
plant. This design strategy will require
more effort from the chiller. But pump
and tower savings will typically offset
any penalty.This is especially true
when the plant is partially loaded or
condenser relief is available.
Temperature
Trane centrifugal chillers start and
operate over a range of load conditions
with controlled water temperatures.
Reducing the condenser water
temperature is an effective method of
lowering the chiller power input.
However, the effect of lowering the
condenser water temperature may
cause an increase in system power
consumption.
In many applicationsTrane centrifugal
chillers can start and operate without
control of the condenser water
In new systems, the benefits can
include dramatic savings with:
• Size and cost for condenser lines and
valves
• Size and cost of the cooling tower.
• Size and cost of the water pumps.
• Pump energy (30 to 35% reduction).
•Tower fan energy(30 to 35%
reduction).
temperature. However, for optimum
system power consumption, and for
any applications with multiple chillers,
control of the condenser water circuit is
recommended. Integrated control of
the chillers, pumps and towers is easily
accomplished withTrane’s CH530 and/
orTracer system.
Replacement chiller plants can reap
even greater benefits from low flow
condensers. Because the water lines
and tower are already in place, reduced
flows would offer a tremendous energy
advantage.Theoretically, a 2 GPM/ton
design applied to a system that
originally used 3 GPM/ton would offer
a 70% reduction in pump energy. At the
same time, the original tower would
require a nozzle change but would then
be able to produce about two degrees
colder condenser water than before.
These two benefits would again
Chillers are designed to ARI conditions
of 29.4°C (85°F), butTrane centrifugal
chillers can operate to a five psig
pressure differential between the
condenser and evaporator at any
steady state load without oil loss, oil
return, motor cooling, refrigerant hang-
up problems. And this differential can
equate to safe minimum entering
condenser water temperatures at or
below 12.8°C (55°F), dependent on a
variety of factors such as load, leaving
evaporator temperature and
typically offset any extra effort required
by the chiller.
component combinations. Start-up
below this differential is possible as
well, especially with CH530 soft start
features
Contact your localTrane Sales Office
for information regarding optimum
condenser water temperatures and
flow rates for a specific application.
Water Pumps
Avoid specifying or using 3600 rpm
condenser and chilled water pumps.
Such pumps may operate with
objectionable noises and vibrations. In
addition, a low frequency beat may
occur due to the slight difference in
operating rpm between water pumps
and centrifugal motors. Where noise
and vibration-free operation are
important, The Trane Company
encourages the use of 1750 rpm
pumps.
Water Treatment
The use of untreated or improperly
treated water in a chiller may result in
scaling, erosion, corrosion, algae or
slime. It is recommended that the
services of a qualified water treatment
specialist be used to determine what
treatment, if any, is advisable.The
Trane Company assumes no
responsibility for the results of
untreated, or improperly treated water.

Chilled-Water Reset
Chilled-water reset reduces energy
consumption during periods of the
year when heating loads are high and
cooling loads are reduced. It is based
on return chilled-water temperature.
Resetting the chilled-water temperature
reduces the amount of work that the
compressor must do by increasing the
evaporator refrigerant pressure. This
increased evaporator pressure reduces
the pressure differential the
This includes all functions that start,
run, and stop the motor.The starter
module provides the interface and
control ofY-delta, across-the-line,
primary reactor, autotransformer, and
solid-state starters. The motor control
also provides protection to both the
motor and the compressor.
The field-connected elements are
involved in physically turning the chiller
on or off. This involves ensuring that
the chiller is not in an emergency or
external stop condition, starting the
pumps, and verifying that flow has
been established. The optional, factory-
supplied flow switch or a

compressor must generate while in the
heat recovery mode. Chilled-water
reset is also used in combination with
the hot-water control. By resetting the
chilled-water temperature upward, the
compressor can generate a higher
condenser pressure, resulting in higher
leaving hot-water temperatures.

primary mission and cooling is a waste
product or a secondary mission.
This technique provides application
flexibility, especially in multiple-chiller
plants in conjunction with undersized
heating plants.
Extended Operation Package
Select the extended-operation package
for chillers that require external, hot
water control, and/or base-loading
capabilities. This package also includes
a 4-20 mA or 0-10 Vdc analog input for
a refrigerant monitor.
• External base-loading control input
• External base-loading setpoint
• External hot-water control input
• Refrigerant monitor input
The chiller needs only one condenser
for hot-water control, whereas Heat
Recovery uses a secondary condenser.
An alternative and less radical
approach to Base Loading indirectly
controls chiller capacity. Artificially
load the chiller by setting the chilled-
water setpoint lower than it is capable
of achieving.Then, modify the chiller’s
load by adjusting the current-limit
setpoint. This approach provides
greater safety and control stability
because it leaves the chilled-water
temperature-control logic in effect.
The chilled-water temperature control
responds more quickly to dramatic
system changes and limits chiller
loading prior to reaching an Adaptive
Control limit.
Refrigerant Monitor
The Extended Operation package
allows for a refrigerant monitor to send
a 4-20 mA signal to the DynaView
display. It can be calibrated to
Base-Loading Control
This feature allows an external
controller to directly modulate the
capacity of the chiller. It is typically used
in applications where virtually infinite
sources of evaporator load and
condenser capacity are available and it
is desirable to control the loading of the
chiller.Two examples are industrial
process applications and cogeneration
plants. Industrial process applications
might use this feature to impose a
specific load on the facility’s electrical
system. Cogeneration plants might use
this feature to balance the system’s
heating, cooling, and electrical
correspond to either 0-100 ppm or 0-
1,000 ppm concentration levels.
The concentration level is displayed at
DynaView, but the chiller will not take
any action based on the input from the
refrigerant monitor.
Alternatively, a refrigerant monitor can
be connected toTracer Summit, which
has the ability to increase ventilation in
the equipment room in response to
high refrigerant concentrations.
Hot-Water Control
This feature allows an external
controller to enable/disable and
modulate the hot-water control mode.
Occasionally, centrifugal chillers are
used to provide heating as a primary
mission. In this case the external
controller or operator would select a
hot-water temperature setpoint and the
chiller capacity would be modulated to
generation.

Tracer™ Chiller Controller
Evaporator Limit Protection
Low Differential Oil-Pressure
Protection
Oil pressure is indicative of oil flow and
active oil-pump operation. A significant
drop in oil pressure indicates a failure
of the oil pump, oil leakage, or other
blockage in the oil-circuit.
Evaporator Limit is a control algorithm
that prevents the chiller tripping on its
low refrigerant-temperature cutout. The
machine may run up to the limit but
not trip. Under these conditions the
intended chilled-water setpoint may
not be met, but the chiller will do as
much as it can. The chiller will deliver
as much cold water as possible even
under adverse conditions.
The chiller controller uses proportional-
integral-derivative (PID) control for all
limits—there is no dead band. This
removes oscillation above and below
setpoints and extends the capabilities
of the chiller.
The differential pressure during oil
pump, compressor prelube mode
should not fall below 12 psid. A failure
on this parameter generates a shutdown
diagnostic. When the compressor is
running, a diagnostic is issued when
the differential pressure is lost.
Some of the standard protection
features of the chiller controller are
described in this section. There are
additional protection features not listed
here.
Low Evaporator-Water Temperature
Low evaporator-water temperature
protection, also known as Freeze Stat
protection, avoids water freezing in the
evaporator by immediately shutting
down the chiller and attempting to
operate the chilled-water pump. This
protection is somewhat redundant with
the Evaporator Limit protection, and
prevents freezing in the event of
High Condenser-Pressure Protection
The chiller controller’s condenser limit
keeps the condenser pressure under a
specified maximum pressure. The
chiller runs all the way up to 100
percent of the setpoint before reducing
capacity using its adaptive control
mode.
Phase-Unbalance Protection
Phase-unbalance protection is based
on an average of the three phase-
current inputs. The ultimate
phase-unbalance trip point is 30
percent. In addition, the RLA of the
motor is derated by resetting the active
current-limit setpoint based on the
current unbalance. The RLA derate
protection can be disabled in the field-
startup menu.
extreme errors in the evaporator-
refrigerant temperature sensor.
Starter-Contactor Failure Protection
The chiller will protect itself from a
starter failure that prevents the
compressor motor from disconnecting
from the line to the limits of its
capabilities.
The cutout setting should be based on
the percentage of antifreeze used in the
customer’s water loop.The chiller’s
operation and maintenance
documentation provides the necessary
information for percent antifreeze and
suggests leaving-water temperature-
cutout settings for a given chilled-water
temperature setpoint.
The following derates apply when the
phase-unbalance limit is enabled:
The controller starts and stops the
chiller through the starter. If the starter
malfunctions and does not disconnect
the compressor motor from the line
when requested, the controller will
recognize the fault and attempt to
protect the chiller by operating the
evaporator-and condenser-water
pumps and attempting to unload the
compressor.
10% unbalance = 100% RLA derate
15% unbalance = 90% RLA derate
20% unbalance = 85% RLA derate
25% unbalance = 80% RLA derate
30% unbalance = Shutdown
Oil-Temperature Protection
Phase-Loss Protection
Low oil temperature when the oil
pump and/or compressor are running
may be an indication of refrigerant
diluting the oil. If the oil temperature is
at or below the low oil-temperature
setpoint, the compressor is shut down
on a latching diagnostic and cannot be
started. The diagnostic is reported at
the user interface. The oil heaters are
energized in an attempt to raise the oil
temperature above the low oil-
The controller will shut down the chiller
if any of the three phase currents
feeding the motor drop below 10
percent RLA. The shutdown will result
in a latching phase-loss diagnostic. The
time to trip is 1 second at minimum, 3
seconds maximum.
Loss of Water-Flow Protection
The chiller controller has an input that
will accept a contact closure from a
proof-of-flow device such as a flow
switch or pressure switch. Customer
wiring diagrams also suggest that the
flow switch be wired in series with the
cooling-water (condenser-water) pump
starter’s auxiliary contacts. When this
input does not prove flow within a
fixed time during the transition from
Stop to Auto modes of the chiller, or if
the flow is lost while the chiller is in the
Auto mode of operation, the chiller will
be inhibited from running by a

rotation and provides a latching

Surge detection is based on current
fluctuations in one of three phases. The
default detection criterion is two
occurrences of RMS current change of

different power anomalies. MPLs of 2.5
cycles or longer will be detected and
cause the unit to shut down. The unit
will be disconnected from the line
within 6 line cycles of detection. If
enabled, MPL protection will be active
any time the compressor is running.
MPL is not active on reduced-voltage
starters from the initial start signal
through transition. The MPL diagnostic
is an automatic reset diagnostic. MPL
protection can be disabled inTechView.

cycles for voltage dips of 40 percent

Overvoltage and Undervoltage
Protection
The unit will be shut down with an
automatic reset if the line voltage is
below or above 10 percent of nominal.

The control panel will monitor the
current drawn by each line of the motor
and shut the chiller off when the
highest of the three line currents
exceeds the trip curve. A manual reset
diagnostic describing the failure will be
displayed. The current overload
Must trip = 15 percent of nominal.
Time to trip = minimum of 1 minute, 10
seconds and maximum of 5 minutes,
20 seconds. Overvoltage and
undervoltage protection can be
disabled using TechView.
An MPL has occurred when the motor
no longer consumes power. An MPL
may be caused by any drop or sag in
the voltage that results in a change in
the direction of power flow. Different
operating conditions, motor loads,
motor size, inlet guide vane (IGV)
position, etc. may result in different
levels at which this may occur. It is
difficult to define an exact voltage sag
or voltage level at which a particular
motor will no longer consume power,
but we are able to make some general
statements concerning MPL protection:
protection does not prohibit the chiller
from reaching its full-load amperage.
Power Factor and kW Measurement
Three-phase measurement of kW and
unadjusted power factor yields higher
accuracy during power imbalance
conditions than with CH530.
The chiller protects itself from damage
due to current overload during starting
and running modes, but is allowed to
reach full-load amps.
High Motor-Winding Temperature
Protection
Short-Cycling Protection
Short-cycling protection is based on a
start-to-start time. This method uses a
straight start-to-start timer to determine
when to allow the next start.
This function monitors the motor
temperature and terminates chiller
operation when the temperature is
excessive. The controller monitors each
of the three winding-temperature
sensors any time the controller is
powered up, and displays each of the
temperatures at the service menu.
Immediately prior to start, and while
running, the controller will generate a
latching diagnostic if the winding
temperature exceeds 265 5°F
(129.4 2.8°C).
The chiller will remain running under
the following conditions:
A ’Restart Inhibit Start-to-StartTime’
setpoint is used to set the desired start-
to-start time. There is no ’free’ start on
a power up at DynaView.The real-time
clock is used to determine when the
next start will be allowed, based on the
previous start.
• Line-voltage sag of 1.5 line cycles or
less for any voltage magnitude sag
• Control-voltage sags of less than 3
line cycles for any magnitude sag
• Control-voltage sags of 40 percent or
less for any amount of time
When the start is inhibited by the
restart-inhibit function, the time
remaining is displayed along with the
restart-inhibit mode.
• Second-order or lower harmonic
content on the line

(star-delta), and 1472 RLA at 380~600
volts (solid-state).
Status and 10 active diagnostics are
communicated to the operator via
display with a tabbed navigation
system. Setpoints are entered through
the touch-sensitive screen. Countdown
timer displays remaining time(s) during
wait states and time out periods.
Nonvolatile memory saves unit set-up
information during power loss without
the need for batteries. Password
protection is provided to secure the
operator interface. PC-based service
tool software displays the last 60 active
or 60 historic diagnostics, indicating the
time, date of occurrence, and system
parameters at the time of the diagnostic.
Remote-mounted starters can either be
star-delta or solid state for low voltage.
Across-the-line, primary reactor, or
auto transformer for medium and high
voltage. All in a NEMA 1 type enclosure
up to 1402 RLA at 380~600 volts (star-
delta), 1472 RLA at 380~600 volts
(solid-state), and 360 RLA at 3300~6600
volts (x-line, primary reactor, and auto-
transformer).
The microprocessor controller is
compatible with reduced voltage or full
voltage electro-mechanical starters,
and solid state starter. Starter for
Europe with the CE mark is available.

Mechanical
Specifications
Unit-mounted or remote-mounted
starters for Europe (CE mark) will be
star-delta, solid-state, across-the-line,
primary reactor, and auto transformer
only in a IP 20 enclosure.
Isolation Pads
all low temperature surfaces including
the evaporator, water boxes and
suction elbow. Insulation material is 19
mm (¾ in.) Armaflex II or equal
(thermal conductivity = 0.04 W/m·°C;
0.3 Btu·in/h·ft²·°F). The oil sump is
insulated with 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) and
13 mm (½ in.) insulation respectively.
Molded neoprene isolation pads are
supplied with each chiller for
placement under all support points.
Spring isolators are optionally
available.
A steel panel door with optional
mechanical interlock disconnects the
system when the door is opened
(required for CE listing). The panel also
contains three-phase current
transformer for overload protection,
and an oil pump starter with overloads.
The starter is factory mounted and
wired to the compressor motor and the
control panel. The CVGF chiller/starter
assembly is factory tested.
Refrigerant and Oil Charge
A full charge of oil is supplied with each
unit.The oil ships in the unit’s sump
and the refrigerant ships directly to the
jobsite from refrigerant suppliers.
Rigging
Evaporator and condenser tube sheets
provide rigging support points. A
rigging diagram is affixed to the chiller.
Painting
All painted CVGF surfaces are coated
with two coats of air-dry beige primer-
finisher prior to shipment.
Quality
The La Crosse chiller manufacturing
facility is ISO 9001.
Insulation
Optional remote mounted
electromechanical starters are
available.
The chiller can be ordered with or
without factory applied insulation.
Factory supplied insulation is applied to
