Important Features
High full-load energy efficiency reduces both operating and life-cycle costs.
Tracer UC800 controls enable:
scrolling access to inputs and operating information via the LCD touch-screen display
freedom from interoperability concerns with LonMark and BACnet communications
job-specific communication options that allow greater reporting flexibility
Improved startup temperature capabilities and reduced sensitivity to condenser water
temperatures alleviate the most common startup concerns.
The industrial-grade design of the helical-rotary chiller is ideal for both industrial and commercial
markets, in applications such as office buildings, hospitals, schools, retail buildings, and industrial
facilities.The linear unloading compressor, wide operating temperature range, advanced controls,
electronic expansion valve, short anti-recycle timers, and high efficiencies mean that thisTrane
chiller is the perfect choice for tight temperature control in almost any application temperatures,
and under widely varying loads.

RLC-PRC020F-EN 7
Application Considerations
Condenser Water Temperatures
With the model RTHD chiller, condenser head pressure control is necessary only if the unit starts
with leaving condenser water temperatures below 45F (7.2C) or cannot rise to 55F (12.8C) within
10 minutes.
When the application requires startup temperatures below the prescribed minimums, a variety of
system implementation options are available. Here are two recommended methods to control the
unit operating conditions for the purpose of refrigerant differential pressure control.
1. Condenser Entering WaterTemperature Control
Tower bypass may also be a valid control method if the chiller temperature requirements can
be maintained and the loop is small.
2. Condenser Water Flow Control
To control a 2-way or 3-way valve, select the Condenser Regulating Valve Control option for
theTrane UC800 controls.This option enables the UC800 controls to send an analog
electronic signal for opening and closing the valve as necessary to maintain chiller
differential refrigerant pressure.The 2-way valves are available as a ship-with option.
The minimum acceptable refrigerant pressure differential between condenser and evaporator is 23
psid (158.6 kPa) at all load conditions in order to ensure adequate oil circulation.The condenser and
evaporator pressure differential must be 15 psid (103.4 kPa) within 2 minutes of start up.This
equates to the condenser leaving water temperature being 14F (7.8C) higher than evaporator
leaving water temperature within 2 minutes of startup at typical operating conditions.
Trane chillers start and operate successfully and reliably over a range of load conditions with
controlled condenser pressure. Reducing the condenser water temperature is an effective method
of lowering chiller power input required, but the ideal temperature for optimizing total system
power consumption will depend on the overall system dynamics. From a system perspective,
some improvements in chiller efficiency may be offset by the increased tower fan and pumping
costs required to achieve the lower tower temperatures. Contact your localTrane systems solution
provider for more information on optimizing system performance.
8 RLC-PRC020F-EN
Application Considerations
With the help of a software analysis tool such as System Analyzer,TRACE, or EnergyPlus,
you can determine whether the anticipated energy savings justify the use of variable-primary flow
in a particular application. Existing constant flow chilled water systems may be relatively easily
converted to VPF and benefit greatly from the inherent efficiency advantages.
RLC-PRC020F-EN 9
Application Considerations
Dry Cooler
The RTHD can be used with dry coolers. Generally this application is selected to minimize the
spread of airborne contaminates associated with open tower systems. In addition, other drawbacks
of cooling towers are avoided: water consumption, production of vapor, need of water treatment,
etc. Another benefit of dry coolers is the ability to operate in low ambient conditions. With the use
of a third party heat exchanger this design can also be used to provide free cooling to the chilled
water loop during cold weather.
Heat Recovery
At a time when energy costs are high and continue to rise, reducing energy usage has become
increasingly important. By using a RTHD chiller with heat recovery, utilization of energy can be
improved by using heat from the condenser that would otherwise be wasted. Leaving condenser
water control option provides the ability to control the heating setpoint up to 114F (45.6C).
The use of heat recovery should be considered in any building with simultaneous heating and
cooling requirements or in facilities where heat can be stored and used at a later time. Buildings
with high year-round internal cooling loads are excellent opportunities for heat recovery. Heat
recovery can be accomplished with the RTHD by recovering heat from the water leaving the
standard condenser and using it in conjunction with a third party heat exchanger.

Application Considerations
Water Treatment
The use of untreated or improperly treated water in chillers may result in scaling, erosion,
corrosion, and algae or slime buildup. It is recommended that the services of a qualified water
treatment specialist be engaged to determine what treatment, if any, is advisable.
Water Pumps
Where noise limitation and vibration-free operation are important,Trane strongly encourages the
use of 1750-rpm (60 Hz) [1450-rpm (50 Hz)] pumps. Specifying or using 3600-rpm (60 Hz) [3000-rpm
(50 Hz)] condenser water and chilled water pumps must be avoided, because such pumps may
operate with objectionable levels of noise and vibration. In addition, a low frequency beat may
occur due to the slight difference in operating rpm between 3600-rpm (60 Hz) [3000-rpm (50 Hz)]
water pumps and chiller motors.
Note: The chilled water pump must not be used to stop the chiller.
Acoustic Considerations
For chiller sound ratings, installation tips, and considerations on chiller location, pipe isolation, etc.,
see the Water-Cooled Chillers Sound Ratings and Installation Guide.

controls provide all control functions including startup and shut down, leaving chilled water
temperature control, evaporator flow proving, compressor staging and speed control, electronic
expansion valve modulation, anti-recycle logic, automatic lead/lag compressor starting and load

AFD incorporates improved serviceability and troubleshooting tools to identify the issue quickly
and get the chiller back up and running. All AFD control circuits are powered with class 2 low
voltage separate from main power allowing service on the controls with the panel door open.
Additionally, the main electronic control modules can be serviced with the standardTrane screw
driver.The AFD further incorporates anotherTrane service tool to allow for firmware upgrades
throughTracerTU.
Wye-Delta Starter
This option provides a reduced-inrush, unit mounted starter with a UL 1995 gasketed enclosure.
Circuit Breaker
A molded case standard interrupting capacity circuit breaker, factory pre-wired with terminal block
power connections and equipped with a lockable external operator handle, is available to
disconnect the chiller from main power.
Non-Fused Disconnect
A non-fused molded case disconnect switch, factory pre-wired with terminal block power
connections and equipped with a lockable external operator handle, is available to disconnect the
chiller from main power.
Under/Over-Voltage Protection
Unit receives protection against variations in voltage (current lag and spike protection is standard).
Control Options
BACnet Interface
BACnet communications capabilities are available, with communication link via single twisted-
pair wiring to communication board.
LonTalk Interface
LonTalk (LCI-C) communications capabilities are available, with communication link via single
twisted-pair wiring to factory-installed, tested communication board.
Modbus Interface
Tracer AdaptiView control can be configured for Modbus communications at the factory or in
the field.This enables the chiller controller to communicate as a slave device on a Modbus network.
Chiller setpoints, operating modes, alarms, and status can be monitored and controlled by a
Modbus master device.
