SAFETY WARNING

Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The installation, starting up, and servicing of heating, ventilating, and air- conditioning equipment can be hazardous and require specific knowledge and training. Improperly installed, adjusted or altered equipment by an unqualified person could result in death or serious injury. When working on the equipment, observe all precautions in the literature and on the tags, stickers, and labels that are attached to the equipment.

Introduction

Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing this unit.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required. Your personal safety and the proper operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance of these precautions.

The three types of advisories are defined as follows:

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. It could also be used to alert against unsafe practices

NOTICE

Indicates a situation that could result in equipment or property damage only accidents.

Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine, and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants.

Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified according to local rules. For the USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.

WARNING

Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury. All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/state/national electrical codes.

WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken could result in death or serious injury. Technicians, in order to protect themselves from potential electrical, mechanical, and chemical hazards, MUST follow precautions in this manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the instructions below:

Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST put on all PPE required for the work being undertaken (Examples; cut-resistant gloves/sleeves, butyl gloves, safety glasses, hard hat/bump cap, fall protection, electrical PPE and arc flash clothing). ALWAYS refer to appropriate Safety Data Sheets(SDS) and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.
When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the appropriate SDS and OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals) guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory protection and handling instructions.
If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE in accordance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to servicing the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY SWITCHING, DISCONNECTING, OR VOLTAGE TESTING WITHOUT PROPER ELECTRICAL PPE AND ARC FLASH CLOTHING. ENSURE ELECTRICAL METERS AND EQUIPMENT ARE PROPERLY RATED FOR THE INTENDED VOLTAGE.

WARNING
Follow EHS Policies!
Failure to follow the instructions below could result in death or serious injury.

All Trane personnel must follow the company’s Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) policies when performing work such as hot work, electrical, fall protection, lockout/tagout, refrigerant handling, etc. Where local regulations are more stringent than these policies, those regulations supersede these policies.
Non-race personnel should always follow local regulations.

Installation

This section provides the proper installation procedures for vertical hoses as part of a Trane Rental Services rental project. Read this section carefully prior to beginning the installation. Important: To minimize premature or catastrophic failure of this hose follow the instructions in this section. Compliance with these instructions will minimize complaints and issues associated with vertical hose installation.
Trane disclaims any and all liability for damages, injuries or costs resulting from installation, including, but not limited to, any failure to follow the instructions, cautions, and warnings set forth herein.

NOTICE
Hose Damage!
Failure to follow the instructions below could result in death or serious injury, and equipment damage.

NOTICE
Hose Damage!
Failure to follow instructions lead to hose collapse and total system failure. Hose must always be used in the pressurized application. Ifa negative pressure application is required, hard suction pipe must be used.

NOTICE

The hard pipe is recommended for indoor installations.
Flexible hose can burst. Failure to follow this could lead to equipment or property damage.
Do not support the hose ONLY by its couplings, support over half of the hose’s length by ground or other supporting surface otherwise coupling clamps may fail.
Do not cut hose to custom fit pieces This will affect the integrity of the hose.
Bleed all air from the system prior to pressurizing the hose to avoid couplings separating from the hose.

Before starting the installation of the hose kit, read the following and reference the vertical hose kit image below.

Confirm the parapet wall where the roof hangover system (or elbows) will be located can withstand at least 1,000 to 4,000 pounds depending on the height of the installation.
Pay special attention to confirming that system pressure does not exceed the pressure rating of the components connected (TRS 6-inch orange hose and most chillers/pumps).
Installations above 200 feet are not permitted. Contact TRS
Engineering for installations above 200 feet, or with system pressures higher than 150 psi.
Tie-offs must be provided at transition elbows and at every hose-to-hose joint suspended in air.
Manifolds have two ports. If more than two are needed, join separate manifolds to create four water line ports.

Figure 1. Installed vertical hose kit

Place the following parts at the highest point in the system (usually on the roof for high-rise applications).
- Two, 6-inch headers
- Eight roof hangover systems or elbows
- One red and blue blank off plate/coupling
- As many 10- or 50-foot sections of hose as necessary
Install a blank off plate on one side of each header.
On the other side of the headers install either 45° or 90° elbows.
Join 6-inch hoses to the previously installed elbows.
Note: Run enough hose to reach the water supply connection.
Connect 10-foot sections of hose to the long end of elbows shown below.
Connect each end of the hoses to the respective ball valve attached to the 6-inch headers.
On the short end of the elbows, install sufficient 50-footN sections of hose to reach to the bottom floor where the temporary equipment is located.
Take the hose over the high-rise parapet wall and lower it slowly until it reaches the bottom floor.
Place elbows on parapet walls and secure them to a nearby load-bearing member using the hose straps provided.
Once the 50-foot sections of hose reach the ground floor, join hose couplings to each ball valve on 6-inch headers.
To finish installation, add blank off plates on each end of the headers. Hard pipe or run flexible hose into the chiller inlet and outlet connections. See the hard pipe and flexible hose in the following images. Important: It is recommended to start filling the system from the bottom using the chiller ½ NPT water connection.
As water is filling up the system, use the chiller vent valves (painted green) to bleed air out of the system.
Each vertical hose kit includes eight, 0.5-inch vent valves located on each elbow. See below.

The following table details pressure losses inherent to the vertical hose.
