Unit-Mounted Starter Assures Reduced Installation Cost and Equipment Space

Trane factory installed options make installation of a CenTraVac^® chiller easier, faster and less costly. Another example of the Trane packaged concept is the factory installed unit- mounted star delta starter available on CenTraVac chillers up to 900 tons capacity or solid-state starters up to 700 tons, depending on jobsite electrical requirements. It’s a single chiller/starter package designed for years of reliable operation and low life-cycle costs.

Installation cost is reduced by eliminating chiller-to-starter, starter-to- disconnect and starter-to-control panel field wiring. All this wiring is completed and tested in the factory, ensuring electrical integrity. Since most wiring is factory completed, electrical system design time is reduced.

Starter components are pre-engineered and selected to provide a reliable, cost effective chiller/starter package. This single source responsibility for the CenTraVac chiller and unit-mounted starter package is a real advantage. Potential scheduling problems associated with separate starter and chiller installations are eliminated. When the CenTraVac chiller arrives at the jobsite with the unit-mounted starter, the only remaining wiring is the main power wiring to the disconnect switch, and a few simple electrical interlocks to the chilled water and condenser water flow sensing devices.

To ensure a trouble-free start-up on the electrical side, the unit-mounted starter is tested with the chiller as part of the factory performance testing program.

Our commitment to customer and equipment safety offers the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) mark of safety on both chiller and starter and available accessories.

When a source of energy other than electricity is required

The Trane CenTraVac has the standard option of being coupled to a Waukesha Enginator to quite simply convert natural gas to chilled water. With COPs in the range of 1.5 to 2.2 depending on options selected, makes this option a very simple and attractive alternative when an alternative fuel source is desired.
