Course BenefitsThis course provides training for theservice technician who needs an in-depthunderstanding of the controls, mainte-nance and troubleshooting of Trane’sRTHC and RTHD helical-rotary chillers.The course provides insights into com-pressor design, unit operation, unitinstallation, start-up requirements, unitperformance and service diagnosis.Specific service steps are covered forrefrigerant handling and componentservice.

Note: This course may be held at the Train-ing Center in La Crosse, WI or at an alternatefactory location. The sessions at the factoryinclude a factory tour. Refer to the schedulepage for individual class locations.

Plant Tour RequirementLeather shoes which give good protectionand long trousers are required for planttours.

Specific Course Objectives• Know the requirements for proper unit installation.• Understand the theory of helical rotor chiller operation.• Understand chiller construction and the interrelation of various components.• Realize the capabilities of a particular machine design.• Understand unit wiring and intercon- necting diagrams.• Understand control start sequence and operating logic.• Understand system control methods available for building automation.• Use control information for routine oper- ational troubleshooting.• Learn machine control menu-driven diagnosis.• Know the requirements for proper rou- tine maintenance of helical-rotor chillers.• Become aware of limits to field servic ing methods inherent with helical com- pressor designs.• Understand service techniques used with refrigerant handling and compo- nent repairs.

Target AudienceThis course is intended for contractor andin-plant HVAC service technicians whowill work regularly with Trane Series R®

chillers. This course is primarily classroomoriented, but provides important in-depthtechnical details useful for technicianstransitioning to service work on theseproducts.

PrerequisitesThe technician must have solid electricalskills equal to HVAC Electrical Trouble-shooting. Technician service experiencewith centrifugal and reciprocating chillersis recommended. Familiarity with basic

computing skills, file management andinternet downloading procedures is

also desirable.

Course BenefitsThis course is designed to provide com-prehensive coverage of the TranePrecedent and Voyager® rooftops withReliaTel controls. The course focusesspecifically on these Trane products.Upon course completion, students willhave been exposed in detail to the mech-anical, electrical and control systems ofthese units and will have become know-ledgeable in the start-up and maintenancerequirements of these products.

Lab SafetyStudent participation in any hands-on“live-circuit exercise” portion of thiscourse is dependent upon adherence tothe safety prerequisites given on Page 2.

Note: Courses may be held in twolocations – at the training center in LaCrosse, WI and at the College of Build-ing Automation in St. Paul. Refer to theschedule page for individual classlocations.

Specific Course Objectives• Understand the refrigeration cycle.• Understand product airflow properties, dynamics and adjustment procedures.• Employ proper mechanical cooling and heating system startup procedures.• Demonstrate understanding of com- bustion cycle.• Gain understanding of heating compo- nents operation and troubleshooting.• Describe scroll compressor operation, troubleshooting and changeout procedures.• Properly apply maintenance / service schedules.• Demonstrate ability to test and deter- mine component condition.• Apply techniques to service, diagnose and troubleshoot Precedent and Voyager rooftops with ReliaTel controls.• Properly troubleshoot control mod- ules.

Target AudienceThis course is intended for commercialrooftop service technicians who have agood understanding of both constantvolume and variable air volume rooftopsand systems, and who need extendedknowledge of the Trane Precedent andVoyager rooftops. ASD and Trane IWDpersonnel must be aware that this coursealso covers larger tonnage sizes (27.5-50tons).

PrerequisitesStudents must have a good understand-ing of both the refrigeration and combus-tion cycles and understand airflowdynamics. Students should be able tofollow electrical ladder diagram logic andbe familiar with commercial unitaryequipment sequence of operation.
