Chiller Description
Chiller Scope
This manual provides relevant data to properly operate,
maintain, and troubleshoot the Trane Thermafit™ TACW.
Operator and maintenance personnel must be a qualified
refrigeration technician and have a working knowledge of
high voltage systems, low voltage control circuits, and
components and functions.
Chiller Capacities
The Thermafit™ TACW modular chillers utilize
independent refrigeration circuits using Turbocor
compressors and flooded shell and tube evaporators and
condensers. They are available from 65-135 tons and up to
8 modules may connect together in a standard primary/
secondary control system. The system consists of a
primary chiller module that contains the primary
microprocessor controller, the power distribution panel, one
or more secondary modules.
These chiller modules consist of an evaporator, condenser,
twin-turbine centrifugal compressor, compressor controller,
and interconnecting refrigerant piping. The chiller requires
connection to the condenser and chilled water circuits, as
well as the main electrical supply and control wiring.
The thermal capacity of these units is dependent on the
leaving temperature of the chilled fluid, maintaining a
minimum flow of fluid through the evaporator and keeping
debris out of the system. In applications where it is desired
to operate with a lower flow rate or higher temperature,
consult the factory for recommendations.
Water quality must be monitored and maintained by a
water treatment professional familiar with the materials of
construction and operation of the equipment. The chiller
modules arrive fully charged with refrigerant. As required
under Federal regulations, installation, initial start-up, and
technical servicing should only be performed by fully
qualified personnel.
System Description
All Thermafit™ TACW modular chillers are designed with a
very small approach to enhance the compressor
performance resulting in an outstanding IPLV rating. Chiller
modules are available in different configurations and with
various standard options including different compressor
models to customize these chillers to your specific
applications.
