Selection<br />
Procedure<br />
<strong>Trane</strong> air-cooled <strong>Series</strong> R chiller<br />
performance is rated in accordance with<br />
the ARI Standard 550/590-1998<br />
Certification Program. <strong>Chiller</strong> selection<br />
assistance and performance information<br />
can be obtained by using the <strong>Series</strong> R<br />
chiller selection program, available<br />
through local <strong>Trane</strong> sales offices.<br />
The chiller capacity tables cover the<br />
most frequently encountered leaving<br />
liquid temperatures. The tables reflect a<br />
10°F [5.6°C] temperature drop through<br />
the evaporator. For other temperature<br />
drops, apply the appropriate<br />
Performance Data Adjustment Factors<br />
from Table A-1. For chilled brine<br />
selections, contact your local <strong>Trane</strong> sales<br />
engineer. To select a <strong>Trane</strong> air-cooled<br />
<strong>Series</strong> R chiller, the following<br />
information is required:<br />
1<br />
Design load in tons of refrigeration<br />
2<br />
Design chilled water temperature drop<br />
3<br />
Design leaving chilled water temperature<br />
4<br />
Design ambient temperature<br />
Evaporator flow rates can be determined<br />
by using the following formulas:<br />
GPM = (Tons x 24) / Temperature Drop<br />
(Degrees F)<br />
OR<br />
L/S = (kW (Capacity) x .239) /<br />
Temperature Drop (Degrees C)<br />
NOTE: Flow rates must fall within the<br />
limits specified in Tables G-1 through G-4<br />
(for GPM or for L/s).<br />
Selection Example<br />
Given:<br />
Required System Load = 140 Tons<br />
Leaving Chilled Water Temperature<br />
(LCWT) = 44°F Chilled Water<br />
Temperature Drop = 10°F Design<br />
Ambient Temperature = 95°F<br />
Evaporator Fouling Factor = 0.0001<br />
1<br />
To calculate the required chilled water<br />
flow rate we use the formula given<br />
below:<br />
GPM = (140 Tons x 24) / 10°F = 336 GPM<br />
2<br />
From Table P-1 (RTAC performance<br />
data), an RTAC 140 standard at the given<br />
conditions will produce 138.2 tons with<br />
compressor power input of 158.6 kW<br />
and a unit EER of 9.7.<br />
3<br />
To determine the evaporator pressure<br />
drop use the flow rate (GPM) and<br />
pressure drop chart on page 16. Entering<br />
the curve at 336 gpm, the pressure drop<br />
for a nominal 140 standard evaporator is<br />
16 feet.<br />
Minimum Leaving Chilled Water<br />
Temperature Setpoint<br />
The minimum leaving chilled water<br />
temperature setpoint for water is 40°F.<br />
For those applications requiring lower<br />
setpoints, a glycol solution must be<br />
used. Contact the local <strong>Trane</strong> sales<br />
engineer for additional information.<br />
