Introduction

Foreword

These instructions are given as a guide to good practice 

in the installation, start-up, operation, and maintenance 

by the user, of Trane GVAF chillers, manufactured in 

France. A separate manual is available for the use and 

maintenance of the unit’s control, Tracer™ UC800. They 

do not contain full service procedures necessary for the 

continued successful operation  of this equipment. The 

services of a qualified technician should be employed 

through the medium of a maintenance contract with a 

reputable service company. Read this manual thoroughly 

before unit start-up.
Units are assembled, pressure tested, dehydrated, 

charged and tested in accordance with factory standard 

before shipment.

Warnings and Cautions

Warnings and Cautions appear at appropriate sections 

throughout this manual. Your personal safety and the 

proper operation of this machine require that you follow 

them carefully. The constructor assumes no liability 

for installations or servicing performed by unqualified 

personnel.

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, may result in minor or moderate 

injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe 

practices or for equipment or property-damage-only 

accidents.

Safety Recommendations

To avoid death, injury, equipment or property damage, 

the following recommendations should be observed 

during maintenance and service visits:

1.   The maximum allowable pressures for system leak 

testing on low and high pressure side are given in 
the chapter “Installation”. Insure to do not exceed test 
pressure by using appropriate device.

2.   Disconnect all power supplies before any servicing on 

the unit.

3.   Service work on the refrigeration system and the 

electrical system should be carried out only by qualified 
and experienced personnel.

4.   To avoid any risk, it is recommended to place the unit on 

an area with limited access.

Reception

On arrival, inspect the unit before signing the delivery 

note. Specify any visible damage on the delivery note, 

and send a registered letter of protest to the last carrier of 

the goods within 7 days of delivery.
Notify the local TRANE sales office at the same 

time. The delivery note must be clearly signed and 

countersigned by the driver.
Any concealed damage shall be notified by a registered 

letter of protest to the last carrier of the goods within 

7 days of delivery. Notify the local TRANE sales office 

at the same time.

Important notice: No shipping claims will be accepted by 

TRANE if the above mentioned procedure is not respected.
For more information, refer to the general sales 

conditions of your local TRANE sales office.

Note: Unit inspection in France. Delay to send registered letter 

in case of visible and concealed damage is only 72 hours.

Loose Parts Inventory

Check all the accessories and loose parts that are shipped 

with the unit against the shipping list. Included in these 

items will be the water vessel drain plugs, rigging and 

electrical diagrams, service literature, which are placed 

inside the control panel and/or starter panel for shipment.
If optional elastomeric isolators are ordered with the unit 

(model number digit 42 =1) they are shipped mounted on 

the horizontal support frame of the chiller. The isolators’ 

location and distribution weight diagram is placed with 

the service literature inside the starter/control panel.

Warranty

Warranty is based on the general terms and conditions of 

the manufacturer. The warranty is void if the equipment 

is repaired or modified without the written approval of 

the manufacturer, if the operating limits are exceeded 

or if the control system or the electrical wiring is 

modified. Damage due to misuse, lack of maintenance 

or failure to comply with the manufacturer’s instructions 

or recommendations is not covered by the warranty 

obligation. If the user does not conform to the rules of 

this manual, it may entail cancellation of warranty and 

liabilities by the manufacturer.

Refrigerant

Consult the addendum to Manuals for units with 

refrigerant, for conformity to the Pressure Equipment 

Directive (PED) 97/23/EC and Machinery Directive 

2006/42/EC.

Unit Description 

GVAF units are high speed centrifugal, air-cooled chillers 

designed for outdoor installation. The refrigerant circuits 

are factory-piped, leak tested and dehydrated. Every unit 

is electrically tested for proper control operation before 

shipment. 
Chilled water inlet and outlet openings are covered 

for shipment. GVAF features Trane’s exclusive 

Adaptive Control™ logic, which monitors the control 

variables that govern the operation of the chiller unit. 

Adaptive control logic can adjust capacity variables 

to avoid chiller shutdown when necessary, and 

keep producing chilled water. The units feature two 

independent refrigerant circuits. Each refrigerant circuit 

is provided with filter, sight glass, electronic expansion 

valve, and charging valves. The shell-and-tube CHIL™ 

(Compact-High performance-Integrated design-Low 

charge) evaporator is manufactured in accordance with 

the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) code. Each 

evaporator is fully insulated and equipped with water 

drain and vent connection. 

Units are generally shipped with refrigerant charge.
