Site Preparation and Clearances
Chiller/heater modules must be installed on 4-inch tubing
or 6-inch I beams on a level surface that has been checked
by a qualified structural engineer to support the weight of
the fluid-filled modules and the connective piping to and
from the chiller/heater. Installations must account for
minimum service access clearance as may be practical or
required by local building codes.
Chiller/Heater Clearances
The National Electric Code or local, state, and regional
building codes may require greater clearance for the
modular chiller/heater than the figures listed in this
publication. Always consult local regulatory agencies to
ensure additional clearances are not required by building
codes.
Minimum Clearances
The unit must maintain a minimum of 36-inch clearance on
all sides. See Figure 4, p. 12.
Note: These clearances are general recommendations.
Each installation has specific considerations.
Contact Trane for definitive guidance and approval
on a job-by-job basis.
Mounting Rails
The chiller/heater must be positioned on a firm, level
surface. All modules should be installed onto structural
steel rails. The rails must be level, be a minimum of 4-inch
wide (preferably 6-inch wide), and seated on springs/pads.
Custom modules may have different requirements.
Consult submittal drawings to confirm dimensions.
After setting and lubricating the mounting rails, begin
installing the modules. All of the modules arrive with
labels on the electrical and control panel. Review the
installation drawings to determine which is the first,
master, module. Typically the master module also has the
main power distribution panel attached to it.
For vibration isolation, spring isolators or rubber-in-shear
isolator pads must be installed under the structural steel
mounting rails.

NOTICE
Connection Leaks!
Incorrect installation of isolators could cause headers
to link due to misalignment of connections. Do not
install spring vibration isolators under individual
modules.
