Recovery and Recycle
Connections
To facilitate refrigerant removal and
replacement, newer-design CVHE,
CVHF and CVHG units are provided
with a 3/4-inch vapor fitting with
shutoff valve on the chiller suction
and with a 3/4-inch liquid connection
with shutoff valve at the bottom of the
evaporator shell. (Refer to Refrigerant
Handling Guidelines.)
Leak Testing
To leak-test a chiller containing full
refrigerant charge, raise chiller
pressure using a controlled hot water
or electric-resistance system to a
maximum of 8 psig. Do not use
nitrogen, which will cause excessive
refrigerant discharge by the purge
system.
Cleaning the Condenser
CAUTION
Proper Water Treatment!
The use of untreated or improperly
treated water in a CenTraVac 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.

Chemical Cleaning Setup.
