R410A refrigerant technical details


Synthetic refrigerants contribute to increased global warming. R410A allows units to operate with extremely low
global warming potential (GWP) and total equivalent warming potential (TEWI) values. This is possible due to
its thermodynamic properties; it is a mono-component refrigerant with an intrinsic high efficiency due to the
absence of glide and energy losses during the evaporating and condensing phases.
Environmental impact parameters: Parameters have been established to determine the environmental
impact of different kinds of refrigerant:
O.D.P. (Ozone Depletion Potential) can register a value between 0 and 1 (CFC-R12 = 1).
G.W.P. (Global Warming Potential) is the relationship between the overall warming caused by a particular
substance and the one caused by CO2 carbon dioxide.
T.E.W.I. (Total Equivalent Warming Impact) is the parameter relating to the emission of refrigerant during
the unit life-cycle and the indirect emissions of CO2 for energy production.
It is important to consider not only the direct (due to the chemical-physical properties) environmental impact of
the refrigerant but the indirect impact as well (i.e., its effect on cooling machinery throughout the operative life).
For package chillers, the contribution to the greenhouse effect is mainly (approximately 90%, if not more)
connected to the energy consumption of the unit (i.e., the indirect amount of CO2 produced by power plants to
supply the energy for the unit). This indirect effect makes it essential to consider the energy consumption of a
unit and its ability to guarantee and maintain high energy efficiency during the entire product life-cycle.
T.E.W.I. : The T.E.W.I. index considers both the direct impact a substance has on the greenhouse effect and its
indirect contribution in terms of CO2 equivalent.
The T.E.W.I. index takes the following points into account:
refrigerant losses
energy efficiency
refrigerant recycling
Consequently, from the point of view of energy efficiency, the kWh consumed by the unit must be calculated
and converted into the CO2 produced. The higher the energy efficient ratio (EER) of the unit, the lower the
environmental impact at the same cooling performance. For package chillers, this is the most important
contribution to the TEWI calculation. This part of the T.E.W.I. is related to the country where it is applied since
the conversion coefficient from kWh to CO2 depends on the type of power plants of each area.
As a general consideration, refrigerant losses should be minimized.

Electronic expansion valve (EEV)


The unit can be fitted with traditional expansion thermostatic valve or, as an option in the configuration, an
electronic expansion valve (EEV).
An EEV valve offers important advantages both for air-conditioning units and water-cooled chillers that are to
be used for process applications and refrigeration systems.
An electronic expansion valve consists of two main parts: the valve itself and the step by step motor. The motor
is situated in the upper part of the valve and is connected directly to the body of the valve. The body of the
valve, including the valve and the motor, is hermetic and welded in order to eliminate the risk of refrigerant
leaks. As is the case for the compressors, the valve motor is in contact with the refrigerant, the materials for
both devices are also substantially the same.
Operating system : Two things are essentially necessary for the operation of the EEV: an external driver and
an algorithm that establishes the operation of the valve itself.
Step-by-step motor
The electronic expansion valve is equipped with a bipolar, 2-phase motor that has the operating
characteristics typical of any step-by-step motor. It is kept in position until the pulses of current from
the driver command it to rotate in one of the two directions. Each impulse commands the rotation of
the rotor for one step, and it is rotated for a set degree, while a series of pulses produce continuous
rotation of the rotor. The number of steps or levels is extremely high in order to offer a wide and
refined regulation field. A mechanical device transforms the rotation movement of the shaft to a linear
movement that enables the running of the regulation element of the valve.
The valve
The valve is designed to control the flow of refrigerant that has linear characteristics in such a way as
to allow a wide range of variation in capacity with a linear relationship between the flow and the
position of the valve itself. The refrigerant inlet and outlet and the regulation element are made of
materials that ensure operating precision over the years as well as an extended operating life.
Electronic expansion valve operation
Ordinary thermostatic expansion valves are self-activating. This means that they are activated by the
pressure under which they are subjected to with the help of an internal retaining spring. Electronic
expansion valves are not self-activating and the step-by step-motor requires external elements and
functions in order to be able to carry out its own action.

06ME0076@00B0110

Uniflair TRAC/F/H Technical Specifications

The driver : The driver is an electronic control unit that controls the position of the valve by means of digital
pulses that open and close the electric contacts in a determined sequence to control the movement of the stepby-step motor in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction. The algorithm is written in a determined language
to control the operation of the valve according to variations in the parameters or variations within the system.
The electronic expansion valve modulates the mass flow of refrigerant into the evaporator according to the
sensor signals, the control algorithm and the drivers. The characteristics of the electronic expansion valve
enable the integration of additional functions in the refrigerant cycle, like the interception of the refrigerant, the
regulation of the suction pressure and the control of the refrigerant load.
Drivers are devices that control the opening of the electronic expansion valves according to the superheating
required. Therefore, as long as the compressor is not activated, there is no passage of refrigerant through the
valve. When there is a request for cooling and the compressor is activated, the drivers are informed of the
action that is taking place. This can happen in two ways: by means of a digital input (stand alone) or by means
of a signal from the microprocessor that manages the system (configurable system).
When the information reaches the driver, it starts to control the mass flow of refrigerant, positioning the
electronic expansion valve in the operating conditions required according to the operation of the system.
The Aquaflair control system is connected to the driver of the expansion valve that, in addition to standard
functions, allows the acquisition of operating and alarm signals in order to ensure complete control of the
refrigerant circuit.

Compressors
All units are fitted with two (models 1221A and 1421A) or four hermetic scroll compressors, which have a high
level of energy efficiency and low noise levels, with built-in thermal protection.
All versions are fitted with crankcase heaters as standard.
Tandem system: TRAC/H/F models with suffix **21 feature two compressors, connected in parallel in one
cooling circuit. The unit can then count on two partial cooling steps at any time, providing a modular cooling
capacity.

PRESSURE

The exchangers have been sized for the power of both compressors. This means that when only one of the
compressors is operating, the thermal difference of the heat exchangers lowers (the evaporating temperature
increases and the cooling cycle dew point decreases), guaranteeing excellent efficiency during partial load
operation.

990-9613-001
06ME0076@00B0110

Evaporator
The brazed plate type evaporator / condenser is made entirely of stainless steel, with direct-expansion and
counter-current flows. The heat exchange surface is configured so as to maximize the exchange coefficient
with minimal load losses. Input and output connections are fitted with air bleeder and draining valves. The
covering in closed-cell neoprene sponge prevents the formation of condensation and reduces thermal wastage.

Air-side heat exchanger


The units are provided with air-side exchange coils which condenser function (TRAC and TRAF) or condenser/
evaporator function (TRAH) and additional free-cooling coils (TRAF).
The heat exchangers are oversized to operate up to high ambient temperatures conditions. They are equipped
with aluminum fins and mechanically expanded copper tubing in order to obtain optimum metallic contact for
maximum exchange efficiency.
Specific protection treatments for aggressive installations are available on request. Performance may be
different from standard units.

Fans
TRAC/F/H units are equipped with new generation axial fans made from a composite material: aluminum and
reinforced plastic material.
This arrangement increases the efficiency, the reliability level, and the sustainability of the unit, and allows a
reduction in the overall noise impact
Efficiency: These fans allow better heat dissipation compared to fans made only from polyurethane.
Reliability: Composite materials have an improved resistance compared to fans made only from
polyurethane and a reduction in weight compared to those made completely from metal.
Acoustic impact: Acoustic impact and efficiency are closely linked to the cleaning of the air flow through
the fans. The use of fans made from plastic allows forms, and consequently performance, to be
achieved which are not possible with aluminum fans, resulting in an improved air flow.
Sustainability: The use of a critical raw material such as aluminum is limited to only the internal section of
these fans.
Motors are available both in AC and EC versions and provide better efficiency and a wider operating range (see
Performance Specifications on page 38).
Standard fans : TRAC/F/H units are equipped with new generation axial fans made from a composite material:
aluminum and reinforced plastic material. This solution creates significant advantages in terms of efficiency,
reliability, and acoustic impact.
Efficiency: These fans feature a core made from aluminum and blades made of plastic. This improves
the heat dissipation compared to fans made only from polyurethane. The currents are lower than
traditional arrangements thanks to the weight reduction, which leads to lower inertia.
Reliability: As fans are coupled with a motor by means of a metallic cross section, resistance is improved
compared to fans made only from polyurethane and weight is reduced compared to metal fans.
Acoustic impact: Acoustic impact and efficiency are closely depend on the cleaning of the air flow
through the fans. The use of fans made from plastic allows the blade shapes which optimize the
performance. These solution cannot normally be achieved with aluminum fans. The resulting improved
air flow improves the noise performance.
Sustainability reduced use of resources: The use of a critical raw material such as aluminium is limited
to the internal section of fans

Electronically commutated (EC) motor fans: The electronically commutated (EC) electric motor is a motor
synchronized by permanent electronically commutated magnets. Units with EC motor fans guarantee high
rotation speed and operation with air volume higher than traditional fans. As a consequence of this, the unit
operation limits are wider than those of a basic unit. The following are features of EC motor fans:
High reliability: Commutation is made by a power transistor; therefore, there are no mechanical elements
such as a collector or brushes to limit the working life. In EC motors, the magnetic field is generated by
the same rotor due to the presence of permanent magnets. The commutation of the magnetic field is
electronic and, consequently, free of wear and tear resulting from contact between stationary and
rotating parts.
High efficiency: The operating mode and materials used permit increased efficiency: less absorption with
the same performance.
Lower in-rush current: The absence of mechanical elements enables a Soft Start start-up with a
consequent lower in-rush current.
Low noise impact: The speed regulation of traditional fans occurs by means of phase cutting regulators,
so called as it cuts the sinusoid of the power supply. By doing this, the power supply of the electric
motor is reduced, increasing the slip and reducing the speed. This cutting of the power supply implies
that the motor is fed by a series of sinusoids of multiple network frequencies. This anomalous coupling
(i.e., forces) between the stators and the rotors causes more noise in the motor than in a power supply
with a clean sinusoid. EC motor fans avoid this phenomenon by altering the speed by varying the
magnetic field.

Electrical panel
The electrical box is placed on an appropriate board and conforms to EC standards (2006/95/EC and EMC
2004/108/EC directives). The following are the main features of the electrical panel:
IP54 protection grade
Lockable general cut-off switch
Electric bars distribution
Phase sequence control and phase presence monitoring, minimum/maximum voltage protection and
correct phase balancing
Maximum internal temperature control
Anti-condensation resistance (for low ambient temperature option, and free-cooling and heat pumps
models)
Magneto-thermal protection switches with trip alarm signal on compressors
Fuses for fan speed control protection
Magneto-thermal protection switches for EC fans
230V power supply for external motorized isolating valve (8Amps max)
Remote control switches for the compressors
Auxiliary transformer at 24V and 230V
Motor protector for the pumps and the free-cooling pump (if present)
Optional configurations of the electrical panel:
Double power supply
An optional configuration featuring a double power supply is available. With the aim of providing
power supply redundancy, the TRAC/F/H range can be provided with the option of a double power
supply with automatic commutation. The unit, equipped with double port isolator and control room,
can be connected to two separate power lines, generally with one connected to a primary line and the
other to a generator or emergency line.
In case the primary line is not working properly, the unit automatically switches over to the other while
at the same time verifying a possible return of power from the primary line. In the meanwhile, the

14

control board remains operating due to the integrated capacitor. When the primary line becomes
available again, power is switched back to the primary line.
Because this solution allows for definition of both the primary line and the frequency of checking, the
units equipped with a double power supply provide absolute continuity of service.

Separate power supply


Another optional configuration is available with a separate power supply for control and auxiliaries.
With the aim of providing a quick restart time, it is possible to configure the unit with a separate power
supply from an external universal power supply (UPS) for the control, the compressor boards, and
the protection devices. This option guarantees full load capacity in emergency mode in two minutes.
NOTE: The UPS is not provided onboard the unit. A separate quotation may be possible.
It is possible to configure the unit with separate power supply for control and auxiliaries together with

Power supply redundancy: When designing systems for which an uninterrupted service must be provided,
reliability is fundamental. Technological environments (i.e., rooms that contain technological equipment or
particular processes that require uninterrupted optimum operating conditions) as well as many industrial
processes, very often have breakdown costs higher than the cost of the equipment itself.
Designing a reliable system means choosing both a unit that is intrinsically reliable and designed and built in
such way as to provide an extremely low breakdown and inefficiency percentage, as well as creating suitable
reserves. The system is equipped with one or more additional units, and for this reason, the Uptime Institute
introduced the Tier classification based on N+1 or N+N redundancy where each Tier level provides an
availability value for the data center (i.e., Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, and Tier IV). Some of the basic rules are the
redundancy with N+N philosophy, the connection for all the units to a BMS, and the installation of an
uninterrupted power supply system.

Last generation data centers are designed with Tier III or IV levels, both of these solutions require a secondary
power supply line. The possibility to connect the unit to a secondary power supply introduces important benefits
for the reliability of the entire system, guaranteeing advantages on controls, restarting procedures, and the
operational reliability of the units.
For example, in case of power failure, the restart time should consider also the reboot of the microprocessor
and the compressor main board. In order to avoid this timing, it is available as an option to have a power supply
dedicated to the microprocessor from the UPS. Another point is that the electrical heaters installed on a chiller
are a fundamental detail for continuous operation:
If the anti-condensation heater in the electrical board is not energized, the electrical components are not
maintained within their operational limits.
If the antifreeze heaters are not energized and the chiller is not fitted with a correct anti-freeze mixture,
the water circuit could be damaged.
Installing secondary lines on data centers is a standard practice and TRAC/F/H chillers are designed to offer a
a complete range of solutions to integrate the unit into the system.
In the following table, the different solutions for power supply redundancy are explained. The bold-outlined row
represents the suggested solution. All these solutions are fitted onboard the units and are completely tested in
the Schneider-Electric production facilities.

Local user terminal (UPDG1)
The local user terminal is supplied with the standard unit and allows the setting of the control parameters (set

Restarting procedures
Uniflair TRAC/H/F water chillers are fitted with UPGD5 microprocessor control systems that automatically
regulate the unit operation and control.
There is a pre-determined start-up procedure when the initial power is supplied to the unit. The start-up
procedure also contains a number of variable parameters that can be adjusted to suit site conditions,
dependent on the load conditions.
The start-up sequence consists of the following:
Hardware initialization
When the control board is powered on, the CPU is reset and begins executing a set of instructions stored in
read-only memory (ROM) on the system board.
Software initialization
Power on delay
This is a programmable delay to defer the electrical loads switching on after a power failure, typically when units
are connected to a generator when it is necessary for full load current conditions. The length of delay is
adjustable.
Local area network (LAN) delay
TRAC/H/F are provided with an integral LAN card, which takes some seconds to analyze during the start-up
procedure. Where more than one unit is connected in LAN, an additional delay is introduced.
A stand alone unit leaves the factory with a pre-set internal LAN address set to 1. Each subsequent LAN
address (2, 3, 4 etc) introduces a further delay.
The total delay is 5 seconds for reading + 5 seconds x LAN address.
In case of a single unit the LAN address is 1; therefore, there is a delay of 10 seconds.
Main pump switch-on
For units fitted with onboard pumps, the next item in the start-up sequence is to switch a main circulating pump
on. There is no delay for this operation. If the unit is not fitted with onboard pumps, the control software
sequences to following Item.
Start trans delay (adjustable)
After the main pump is activated the microprocessor monitors the inlet water temperature and calculates the
thermal load. The time for this operation should be adjusted according to the thermal inertia of the circuit. For a
circuit with a high water content, i.e., high thermal inertia, it is necessary to increase the Start Trans Delay.
Based on the conditions, the microprocessor control system selects either the Quick Start or Standard

procedures.
Standard procedures - There are two conditions:
Free-Cooling Mode Activated (TRAF only)
If conditions are suitable for free-cooling, free-cooling mode is activated. In this mode, the freecooling pump switches on, the fans switch on and gradually ramp up to full speed.
Depending on the inlet water temperature and the external air temperature, the unit evaluates if
the thermal load can be dissipated by the free-cooling coils completely (total free-cooling) or
partially (partial free-cooling). In the case of partial free-cooling the compressors are activated
The delay between the free-cooling mode activation and the compressors switching on is
between 75 and 150 seconds depending on the difference in temperature between the external
air and the chilled water temperature.
NOTE: This is not applied for quick start mode or for very low ambient temperatures.
Free-Cooling Mode Not Activated
If the conditions do not meet the requirements for the free-cooling mode, a delay is introduced
and then the compressors are activated
Quick Start procedures
The Quick Start procedure is an optional function that is selected from the menu system on the
TRAC/H/F microprocessor. Quick Start enables the chillers to achieve full cooling capacity within 2/
three minutes.
If the Quick Start procedure is enabled and the working conditions are suitable for this procedure,
compressors are activated quickly.
Cooling capacity regulation
According to the difference between the inlet water temperature, the setpoint, and the dead zone value, the
TRAC/H/F microprocessor control system calculates the thermal load.
Quick Start: The compressors are activated, each with a fixed interval.
Quick Start + high inlet water temperature: The compressors are activated, each with a quick
interval.
Standard: The compressors are activated with standard interval.
Load distribution
In order to maximize efficiency, the control system distributes the cooling capacity steps evenly between the
cooling circuits, since the units are each fitted with four scroll compressors, two per cooling circuit, the load is
balanced in 4 steps (except for models 1221A and 1421A).

LAN Description and Logic


Aquaflair chillers equipped with advanced controls have the local area network (LAN) card integrated on the
main board. Up to 10 of these units can be connected together with one or two units in stand-by in order to
manage the stand-by units and to adapt the logic to the site requirements.
NOTE: If LAN control is selected for stand-by management or load management, this cannot also be driven by
the BMS.
The LAN system manages the unit rotation based on alarm, emergency mode, or working hours and manages
the load according to three logics. Generally, the units are installed in parallel on the hydraulic side, and on the
available operating modes from the control logic point of view are the following:
Singular
Interlaced

na4689a

Cascade

The control system fitted onboard each TRAC/F/H chiller regulates the temperature of the chilled water by
switching the compressors on and off. By doing this, it is possible to change the cooling capacity from the
minimum to 100%; overall, each unit may be controlled by means of partialization steps.
All of the units use an algorithm to control the temperature of the chilled water based on the discharge
temperature of the water. The algorithm uses the inlet water temperature to minimize compressor start-up; in
fact, a P.I.D. algorithm controls the discharge temperature of the water proportionally but also uses an
integrated and derivative process on the inlet water temperature to minimize compressor start-up.a
The control system can be considered an evolution compared to the traditional systems of control that operate
predictably on the discharge water temperature. The outlet water temperature value can be taken onboard the
chiller (on the discharge side of the evaporator) or with the optional remote water sensor, along another point.
Singular logic mode: Singular logic mode permits the unit to operate autonomously without considering the
other units. With this option, the LAN signal permits rotation only in case of failure or time-based rotation.

Where more than one units are connected in the LAN, an additional delay is introduced. A stand-alone unit
leaves the factory with a pre-set internal LAN address set to 1. Each subsequent LAN address (2, 3, etc.)
introduces a further delay. The total delay is 5 seconds x LAN address.

For example, considering two TRAC units, the


control logic form no-load to full-load
conditions will be the following:

UNIT 3

Interlaced logic mode: Two or more chillers


configured in interlaced mode operate as a
single unit. The chillers acquire the outlet water
temperature value with a small timing gap
(offset) between themselves in order to avoid
powering on simultaneously. The offset is
calculated using the LAN address and other
parameters. This solution permits sharing of the
load between all the chillers with a consequent
optimization of the general efficiency of the
cooling resources, which can then operate at
part load. The operating logic could slightly differ
according to the compressors installed in the
unit, but the general rule is that the system
distributes the minimum load across the
maximum number of units.

Cascade logic mode: Two or more chillers configured in cascade mode operate as two chillers in sequence.
They acquire the outlet water temperatures and operate with the average value calculated with a small gap
(offset) calculated using the LAN address and other parameters in order to avoid powering on simultaneously.
This traditional solution permits the system to adapt to load increasing, giving the possibility to activate the
cooling resources when they are necessary.

Free-cooling Models
When chillers are installed in technological plants like data centers or industrial processes that operate
continuously throughout the year and with low external temperatures, it is energetically convenient to use
systems that have been designed to exploit these conditions; cooling systems with an integrated free-cooling
device are a typical solution.
TRAF units are fitted with integrated free-cooling system. On these units, if the external temperature is low
enough, it is possible to reduce or even eliminate, depending on the external temperature, the refrigerant part
of the chiller (i.e., the compressors).

POWER ABSORBED

When the external air temperature is low enough, the microprocessor control system activates the free-cooling
mode: water is circulated by the free-cooling pump inside heat exchange coils and cooled by external air forced
in by the fans, which, together with the pump, are the only components that absorb energy.

FREE-COOLING & DIRECT

Text [C]

According to the external temperature and the required thermal load, the unit operates in the following mode:
Mechanical cooling: With temperatures higher than the inlet water temperature, a free-cooling unit
operates as a traditional chiller, dissipating the thermal load of the evaporator with the compressors (fans
and compressors operating).
Mixed mode: When the external temperature is lower than the inlet water temperature, the air
guarantees partial, rather than complete, dissipation of the thermal load. The control system activates
the free-cooling pump and the water is routed to the air/water exchangers that are placed in series in the
evaporator, dissipating at a lower thermal load (fan operation, free-cooling pump and, partially, the
compressors).
Free-cooling: When the external temperature is low enough, the air/water exchangers allow the
dissipation of the complete thermal load with no need for the compressors to work (fans and free-cooling
pump operation only).
NOTE: Since the climatic profiles of the main European cities show that the most frequent temperatures are
between 0 and 15C, it is important to design free-cooling solutions that maximize the performance in this
temperature range.
NOTE: Components/configuration shown in the following image represents a general indication and could be

Intelligent Free-cooling
When designing systems for which uninterrupted service must be ensured, reliability is fundamental.
Technological environments (i.e., rooms which contain technological equipment or particular processes which
require uninterrupted optimum operating conditions, as well as many industrial processes) very often have
higher breakdown costs than the cost of the equipment itself.
Designing a reliable system means both choosing units that are intrinsically reliable and to include suitable
reserves. An intrinsically reliable unit is designed and built to guarantee an extremely low breakdown and
inefficiency percentage. Designing with suitable reserves means to equip the system with one or more
additional units, and for this reason, design is typically based on n+1 or n+n logics. This approach ensures
that there is a unit in stand-by to assure emergency rotation when, for any reason, a failure happens.

The Intelligent Free-cooling option


By combining the above concepts in applications where uninterrupted operation is required, units equipped with
a free-cooling device featuring redundancy logic can be installed, and part of the available cooling capacity is in
stand-by. The same consideration can be made regarding the available free-cooling capacity. The principle that
forms the basis of intelligent free-cooling is when external temperatures allow free-cooling, the air/water
exchangers of the units in stand-by are exploited as well.
As described in the picture below, by linking all of the air/water exchangers together (indicated with red dotted
lines in the example below), it is possible for the water that is to be cooled to flow through all of the free-cooling
coils available.
Due to the fact that in Aquaflair free-cooling units, the water is sent to the free-cooling coils by a pump and not
by a simple three-way valve, it is possible to also use the exchangers of the units in stand-by and so increase
the free-cooling capacity available.
NOTE: Components/configuration shown in the image represents a general configuration and could be
different on TRAF units and/or on selected configuration. The image refers to 1+1 unit configuration (one unit
running, one in stand-by mode) while other arrangements are possible. Valves, filters, compensators or any
other necessary equipment are not shown in the diagram .

NOTE: As a general configuration rule, the number of stand-by units must be equal or lower than the number of
working units, i.e. 1+1, 2+1, 3+2, while 1+2 or others are not possible. According to the energy saving levels
allowed by intelligent free-cooling, the most suitable configurations are 1+1 and 2+1, while arrangements with
more working units, such as 3+1, would have a longer payback period. The general saving depends on the
specific climatic profiles and working conditions; therefore, it is important to check the effective saving for each
project with the calculation software.

Glycol-Free Free-Cooling
Designed for applications where the use of anti-freeze solutions are not allowed, the glycol-free solution permits
only free-cooling circuits in units to be filled with a glycol/water mixture, leaving pure water on the other parts of
the circuit.
The unit is fitted with an onboard intermediate heat exchanger that isolates the principal hydraulic circuit and
the free-cooling circuit according to the following drawing.

Recommended Limitations
The operating conditions of chillers are strictly related to the compressor limits with the operating conditions
guaranteed by the heat exchangers. In order to guarantee continuous operation, the chiller control board forces
the reduction of the condensing pressure in extreme external conditions by means of a reduction in cooling
capacity (unloading procedure). This must be considered during the design phase by means of the load
distribution between the chillers on site.
Usually the redundancy level requires one or more units in stand-by. With this solution, all the cooling resources
are working at part-load conditions with important advantages if compared to a traditional logic.
Chillers designed to provide chilled water temperatures lower than 3C must be filled with antifreeze mixtures
suitable to operate at the design water temperatures (see Nominal conditions and correction factors on
page 38). TRAF units must be filled with antifreeze mixtures suitable to operate at the design ambient
temperatures (see Nominal conditions and correction factors on page 38).
TRAF units with glycol-free option need antifreeze mixtures in the free-cooling circuit only (see Nominal
conditions and correction factors on page 38).

Flow limits
Water flow variation influence the operation of the unit. A water flow that is too high generates turbulence in the
heat exchangers with consequent reduction in the heat exchange and very high pressure drop across the
evaporator.
A water flow that is too low could cause laminar flow in the evaporator with consequent reduction in exchange
capacity, freeze-up problems, scaling, stratification, and poor control.
These conditions would reduce the water side pressure drop up to the protection device set limits, generating a
low water flow alarm, which would stop the unit and require a manual reset.
For this reason, the following limits are required on the nominal water flow:
Minimum water flow: -40% than the nominal water flow
Maximum water flow: +40% than the nominal water flow
Other specific operations could be possible: please contact Schneider-Electric for further details

NOTE: A general design guideline for data centers, where reducing energy consumption and optimizing
available resources is becoming increasingly more significant, is to adopt solutions featuring chilled water air
conditioning units linked to chillers with a free-cooling system, sized in order to optimize operation. This system
is based on a chilled water temperature, which is higher than the traditional 7C, with the aim of increasing the
free-cooling capacity and lowering the electrical absorption of the chiller. Since optimizing resources is the best
solution to reduce consumption, Schneider-Electric fully supports this trend, promoting and encouraging it and
facilitating the sizing of sites that are designed in this way. For this reason, technical data regarding chillers
equipped with free-cooling are based on inlet/outlet water temperatures of 15/10C rather than 12/7C.
TRAC/F/H units are suitable for operation with anti-freezing mixtures, like glycol-water. The on-board pumps
(main and free-cooling) are designed and selected to operate with glycol percentages up to 30%. Higher
percentages can be managed with a dedicated customization (on request). If antifreeze mixtures are being
used, some of the unit specifications given in the table (capacity, water delivery, load loss) will change.

Partial and total heat recovery


TRAC/H units can be fitted both with partial and total heat recovery while TRAF units are available with partial
free-cooling only. For correct operation of the chiller, it is necessary to avoid supplying the recovery exchanger
with water that is too cold (temperatures lower than 30C). For this reason, it is necessary to install a 3-way
valve on the heat recovery pipeworks.

VSD pumps
The TRAC/H/F units range can be fitted with onboard primary circulation pumps. When the pressure drop and
the water flow do not remain constant, either during the chiller operation or during installation, it is possible to
install completely integrated inverter-driven circulation pumps.
This solution allows the water flow rate to be modified by varying the pump rotation speed. If this option is
selected, the unit is equipped with one or two pumps with 1+1 logic that are connected to a VSD (inverter)
driven by the chiller control board and with two pressure transducers on the chiller water circuit (IN/OUT),
completely connected to the main power supply and driven by the unit main board. In the event of units fitted
with two pumps, the inverter is usually shared between the pumps.
NOTE: In the event of any failure of the inverter when two pumps are installed, this is automatically bypassed
and the pumps are connected directly to the power supply. Therefore, the pump operates at full speed (50 Hz)
and an alarm is communicated by the control board without any consequence to the general reliability. When
the unit is fitted with a single pump, a failure in the inverter is equivalent to a failure in the pump and the unit is
stopped.
The inverter is controlled by the main board and water flow can be modified according to two different logics:
Flexible operation
Flexible operation consists of water flow setting and the unit operating with constant water flow. With
logic (a), the control board sets a value for the inverter speed and for the water flow. The unit
operates with this water flow value until it is modified. Modifications can be done directly on the local
user terminal, on the remote user terminal of the unit, or from the Building Management System.
This solution is necessary when the pressure drop of the system is not completely known or an
extension is scheduled, expected, or simply possible. Once the chiller is installed, the pressure drop/
water flow is set on the control board according to the site features and the required deltaT of the
inlet/water temperatures.
In the event of any modifications on the site, the operating parameters can be changed in order to
adjust the correct operation of the unit.
Auto-adaptive operation
Auto-adaptive operation consists of the unit operating with variable water flow and constant available
head pressure. Once the chiller is installed, the required available pressure can be set on the unit.
The information from the pressure transducers permits the control board to maintain this setting in all
the different pressure drop conditions (between a min/max range).
This solution is useful when the pressure drop of the system can vary during chiller operation, like
installations where the cooling units are fitted with 2-way valves or when there are separate water
circuits. The settings for the required available head pressure can be done directly on the local user
terminal, on the remote user terminal of the unit, or from the Building Management System
Both logics can be set directly on-site, with a simple modification of the control settings.
NOTE: VSD pumps can operate between 30 to 50 Hz, providing a minimum head pressure in any case. A bypass or balancing valve/arrangement must be provided in any case to avoid flow alarm.

Altitude
Units are able to operate at different altitudes. Please check with the selection software ,the operating
conditions, and their relation with the ambient temperature limits

Sound
The sound pressure levels (measured with BREL & KJR class 1 sound-level meter model 2260) are
measured with units working at full load, in free-field conditions with direction factor Q=2, 10 m away from the
unit on the condensing coil side. The data are taken according to ISO3744 - ISO3746.
Sound power level for each octave band frequency is supplied in compliance with standard ISO3744-ISO3746.
The tolerance on the data is equivalent to Eurovent admitted tolerances.
NOTE: Data is measured in free field at 10 meters from the unit operating without pumps at nominal conditions
with fans at nominal conditions, coil side, Q=2 directional factor. At different conditions, with different
configurations and/or with EC fans, noise values may vary.
Noise levels may change according to the final configuration and the operating conditions. The sound levels by
octave band are guideline values only and not contractually binding.

Basic version
This refers to the basic version with acousti-composite fans with asynchronous motor fans or with electroniccommutated (EC) motor fans. The unit is fitted with enclosures for compressor protection and with modulating
condensation control for fans that can operate up to full speed.
NOTE: EC motor fans guarantee improvements in energy efficiency and higher operating ambient
temperatures than standard motor fans. At full fan speed, the noise impact is higher than at nominal conditions
(see table below).

separate power connection for the following devices:
Unit control board
Anti-condensation heater (only with low ambient temperature option)
Antifreeze heaters for evaporator and pumps (optional, based on the configuration)
Compressors
FLI (Full Load Input Power): The maximum absorbed power of the unit [kW].
FLA (Full Load Amperage): The maximum absorbed current [A].
LRA (Locked Rotor Amperage): The value that usually indicates the current in locked rotor
conditions.
Pump
FLA (Full Load Amperage): The maximum absorbed current [A].
LRA (Locked Rotor Amperage): The starting current [A]. The control board manages the pump
switching-on before unit start-up and, therefore, the LRA for the pump does not increase the starting
current of the unit.
NOTE: For VSD pumps, the values refer to full-speed pumps.
Chiller unit
FLI (Full Load Input Power): The maximum absorbed power of the unit [kW].
FLA (Full Load Amperage): The absorbed current at maximum operating parameters over an
extended period of time: i.e., compressors max absorbed current + fans absorbed current + pump
absorbed current (if present). This is the maximum steady current value actually necessary to size
cabling, safety devices, etc.
LRA (Locked Rotor Amperage): The maximum current peak: i.e., compressor nr 1 starting current +
the other compressors maximum absorbed current + the fans absorbed current (and operating
current for pump, if fitted). This is necessary for the delay in external safety devices and in the genset
sizing (if fitted).
COS: The cosine of the angle of displacement between the current and the voltage in an
electrical system with alternate current.
NOTE: COS
The electronically commuted (EC) motors do not have the same effect as asynchronous motors
with relation to the phase displacement between current and voltage. These types of motors do

not introduce a phase displacement but modify the shape of the wave as a phase displacement.
However, this effect is different and cannot be corrected with traditional power phase capacitors.
NOTE: COS on unit equipped with pumps
The value for the COS on units equipped with on-board pumps is reduced by the effect of the
pump. It is possible to fit (on request) the unit with power phase capacitors designed for the
pump.

Service access
The following diagrams show the minimum recommended distances to be left for clearance around the unit for
correct operation and service access.
IMPORTANT: Prevent air recirculation between the air discharged and the suction in the condenser. When
multiple chillers are installed close together in the same area, it is important to evaluate the airflow through the
unit and the air recirculation that may occur. It could be necessary to install chimneys on the top of the unit in
some situations.

Piping Connections
Hydraulic connections
The pipework connections are made from steel, and the free-cooling circuit is made from steel with flexible
connections between the coils and the free-cooling manifold. This is to eliminate vibrations along the water
circuit and to guarantee flexibility to the unit structure during liftings and movements.The units are supplied with
Victaulic-type hydraulic connections. Pipework of this type is composed of two parts: the pipework is
predisposed for a Victaulic clamp and the Victaulic clamp itself.

DRAWINGS. WHERE REFERENCE IS MADE THROUGHOUT THIS SECTION TO PROVIDE, INSTALL, SUBMIT,
ETC., IT SHALL MEAN THAT THE CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR, OR CONTRACTOR OF LOWER TIER SHALL
PROVIDE, INSTALL, SUBMIT, ETC., UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED.

PART 1 GENERAL
1.1
A.

SUMMARY
The TRAC/F/H air cooled chillers, free-cooling chillers, and heat pumps are available with cooling
capacity from 120 to 370 kW and are designed for mission critical applications, such as
datacenters, IT rooms, industrial processes, and comfort cooling, where high performance is
required.
The unit works according to refrigeration cycles, with environmentally friendly refrigerant R410A.
The source side heat exchanger (condenser) consists of finned air coils, proportioned to operate at
high ambient temperatures. The user side heat exchanger (evaporator) consists of a high efficiency
brazed plate heat exchanger in stainless steel, insulated with closed cell expanded polyurethane.
The units can fit, according to the unit size, two or four high-efficiency, low-noise, hermetic scroll
compressors, on single or double cooling circuits.
As energy efficiency is the key feature of the unit, the component selection and the unit sizing have
been performed to minimize energy consumption. In addition to the standard features, some
optional accessories are available to improve the efficiency level, such as Electronic Commutated
(EC) Motor fans and an Electronic Expansion Valve, controlled by the unit mainboard.
In order to comply with different noise requirements, TRAC/F/H units are fitted as standard with
modulating condensation control and completely closed enclosures for the compressor, to ensure
both noise containment and protection. Soundproofed compressor enclosures are available as an
option.
In order to be adapted to different design configurations, the unit can be fitted with multiple
configurable options. These include the following: pump groups (which may include one or two
pumps that can be driven by an integrated inverter), expansion vessel, safety valve and water tank,
double power supply with automatic changeover and/or separate power supply for mainboard and
auxiliaries, complete power monitoring which measures the instantaneous value of the total power
consumption, integrated LAN card to connect up to ten units together. The integrated mainboard

monitors and optimizes any operating condition, improving efficiency, ensuring reliability, and
ensuring immediate cooling load is provided due to the quick restart procedure.
On the TRAF version, the unit is fitted with an exclusive free-cooling system, completely managed
by the microprocessor control, in order to reduce or even eliminate, depending on the external
temperature, the compressor power consumption. In addition, when the design is based on
redundant units connected in the same network, the unit can operate with Intelligent Free Cooling,

based on fixed parameters for speed or delta P (difference in pressure between inout unit). A harmonic protector EMC filter is required.
e.Tank
1. The unit must be equipped with an internal tank insulated and protected with
integrated electrical heater (if required).
7. Fans
a.Acousti-Composite fans with Electronically Commutated (EC) motor
1. The fan motor shall be Electronically Commutated (EC), protected by magnetothermal protection, in order to ensure the modulating condensation control due to
the continuous adjustment of the fan speed, based on the condensation pressure in
relation to the outside temperature.
2. Ensure a higher rotation speed compared to traditional fans, and greater reliability
and efficiency
3. Shall provide a lower inrush current (due to the absence of the mechanical switching
element) and a low noise impact during the modulation phase.
8. Electrical Options
a.Power meter
1. The unit shall be fitted with a complete power monitoring meter that measures the
instantaneous value of the power consumption for all the components (total).
2. This value shall be shown on the display interface and can be transmitted to the
BMS.
3. Current value shall be applied for internal regulation, monitoring logics, and for
limiting the max amperage absorption (LRA excluded).
b.Refrigerant leak monitoring
1. The unit shall be fitted with a system to monitor refrigerant leakage in the
compressor housing linked directly to the unit control board.
2. The system shall be able to generate alarms based on specific limits. This alarm
value must be shown on the display interface with the ability to be transmitted to the
