Location Requirements
Noise Considerations
• Locate the unit away from
sound-sensitive areas.
• Install the isolation pads or
isolation springs under the
unit.
• Use rubber boot-type isolators
for all water piping at the unit.
• Use flexible electrical conduit
for final connection to the UPC.
Note: Consult an acoustical
engineer for critical applications.
Foundation
Provide rigid, non-warping
mounting pads or a concrete
foundation of sufficient strength
and mass to support the chiller
operating weight (including
completed piping and full
operating charges of refrigerant,
oil and water).
Storage
If the chiller is to be stored for at
least one month prior to
installation, observe the
following precautions:
• Do not remove the protective
coverings from the electrical
panel.
• Store the chiller in a dry,
vibration-free, secure area.
• At least every three months,
attach a gauge to the service
valve and manually check the
pressure of dry nitrogen in the
refrigerant circuit. If the
pressure is below 5 psig (34
kPa) at 70°F (20°C), call a
qualified service organization
and the appropriate Trane sales
office.
After the chiller is in place, level
the chiller within 1/4" (6 mm)
over its length and width.
Trane is not responsible for
equipment problems resulting
from an improperly designed or
constructed foundation.
Vibration Eliminators
• Use rubber boot-type isolators
for all water piping at the unit.
• Use flexible electrical conduit
for final connection to the UPC.
• Isolate all pipe hangers and be
sure they are not supported by
main structural beams that
could introduce vibration into
occupied spaces.
• Make sure that the piping does
not put additional stress on the
unit.
Note: Do not use metal braided-
type eliminators on the water
piping. Metal braided
eliminators are not effective at
the frequencies at which the unit
will operate.
