Installation Checklist
Complete this checklist as the unit is installed and verify that all recommended proce-
dures are accomplished before the unit is started. This checklist does not replace the
detailed instructions given in the “Installation -Mechanical” and “Installation -Electri
-
cal” sections of this manual. Read both sections completely, to become familiar with
the installation procedures, prior to beginning the work.
Receiving
• Verify that the unit nameplate data corresponds to the ordering information.
• Inspect the unit for shipping damage and any shortages of materials. Report any
damage or shortage to the carrier.
Unit Location and Mounting
• Inspect the location desired for installation and verify adequate service access
clearances.
• Provide drainage for evaporator water.
• Remove and discard all shipping materials (cartons, etc.)
• Install optional rubber isolators, if required.
• Level the unit and secure it to the mounting surface.
Unit Piping
• Flush all water piping before making final connections to the unit.
CAUTION
Proper Water Treatment!
The use of untreated or improperly treated water in the Unit may result
in scaling, erosion, corrosion, algae or slime. It is recommended that the
services of a qualified water treatment specialist be engaged to
determine what water treatment, if any, is required. Trane assumes no
responsibility for equipment failures which result from untreated or
improperly treated water, or saline or brackish water.
If using an acidic commercial flushing solution, construct a temporary
bypass around the unit to prevent damage to internal components of the
evaporator.
• Connect the chilled water piping to the evaporator.
• Install pressure gauges and shutoff valves on the chilled water inlet and outlet to
the evaporator.
• Install a water strainer in the entering chilled water line.
• Install a balancing valve and flow switch (recommended) in the leaving chilled
water line.
• Install a drain with shutoff valve or a drain plug on the evaporator waterbox.
• Vent the chilled water system at high points in the system piping.
• Apply heat tape and insulation, as necessary, to protect all exposed piping from
freeze-up.
