Soft loading
AdaptiView control uses soft loading except during manual operation. Large adjustments due to
load or setpoint changes are made gradually, preventing the compressor from cycling
unnecessarily. It does this by internally filtering the setpoints to avoid reaching the differential-to-
stop or the current limit too quickly. Soft loading applies to the Leaving Chilled Water Temperature
and Current Limit setpoints. These setpoints can be adjusted to facilitate faster loading times.
Adaptive Control
Whenever AdaptiView control senses that it can no longer meet its primary objective (maintaining
Leaving Chilled Water Temperature) without triggering a protective shutdown, it focuses on the
most critical secondary objective. When the secondary objective is no longer critical, the controller
reverts to its primary objective. As an example, if the tower temperature was to rise above normal
for an extended period of time, the control would sense this and send a caution signal. It might even
hold or unload the chiller to keep it on line until the system problem is resolved.
the chiller is started, the load up time can be as fast as three minutes. This restart time can be cut
in half by using a UPS power source to supply control power. (See Restart Time with AdaptiView
(UC800) in CTV-SVN018-EN.)
Revolutionary EarthWisePurge
AdaptiView control equipped chillers feature a high-efficiency purge, which includes an auto-
regenerating carbon canister to return reclaimed refrigerant back to the chiller automatically. The
EarthWise Purge is more aggressive in auto-adaptive mode than its predecessor. Adaptive mode
uses historical purge data to determine when to purge and for how long, keeping the chiller at peak
operating efficiency. Finally, todays purge operates as a leak detector. Any significant purge run
time can warn a technician of a potential leak.
Increased Serviceability
The previous Trane chiller controllers (Tracer CH530 with the DynaView) included a smaller,
character-based, two-color user interface that presented the chiller data necessary for daily tasks.
Service or maintenance tasks were performed using the TechView service tool.
The AdaptiView control panel adds a level of sophistication that improves service technician
effectiveness and minimizes chiller downtime. AdaptiView control provides a user interface (the
AdaptiView display) and a main processor (the UC800) that protects the chiller and optimizes chiller
efficiency. The Tracer TU service tool succeeds TechView for performing service and maintenance
tasks.
Tracer TU serves as the interface to all CenTraVac chillers, and customizes itself based on the
properties of the chiller with which it is communicating. Therefore, service technicians have to
familiarize themselves with only one service tool interface.
The panel bus is easy to troubleshoot using LED verification of sensors. Only the defective device
is replaced. (Captive screws ensure that the appropriate mounting hardware is available.)
The Tracer AdaptiView display is mounted on the chiller control panel. It is attached to the chiller
by an arm that can extend 11 inches. Five pivot points enable full articulation as described in the
following specifications and in the illustration:
Two horizontal pivots points 90 right or left (180 total)
Two vertical pivots points: 90 degrees up or down (180 total)
Rotation: 135 clockwise and 135 counterclockwise (270 total)

Communication Options
There are a variety of chiller communication options depending on the application requirements.
This subsection covers some options that describe the control interface flexibility of AdaptiView
control for CenTraVac chillers. Remember, if you choose to use these communication pathways,
you may not need the hardwire points described in the previous subsection. However many
customers choose to have the hardwire points for back-up external communication.
Option 1: LonTalk
Figure 17, p. 27 illustrates the use of a LonTalk card/LLID installed on the chiller to enable the
AdaptiView chiller to communicate to the Tracer SC. Using a LonTalk card provides you with a
comprehensive list of points that can be communicated. (See LonTalk Communication Interface for
Trane Chillers with Tracer AdaptiView Control (ACC-SVN100A-EN) for more information.)

Field Connection
The field connected elements listed here are involved in physically turning the chiller on or off. This
involves ensuring that the chiller is not in an emergency or external stop condition, starting the
pumps, and verifying that flow has been established. The optional, factory-supplied flow switch or
a customer-supplied differential pressure switch can be used to prove flow.

Motor Control
Motor Control includes all functions that start, run, and stop the motor. The starter module provides
the interface and control of Y-delta, across-the-line, primary reactor, autotransformer, and solid-
state starters. Analog and binary signals are used to interface with the solid state starter.
An AFD output signal, included in the AFD option, controls the Adaptive Frequency Drive. The
Motor Control also provides protection to both the motor and the compressor. It includes the
following components:
Starter Module (all starters except AFD)
Starter Fault (all solid-state starters)
Power Supply
Oil Heater Relay
Oil and Refrigerant Pump Relay With Interlock
Oil Temperature
Oil-Sump Pressure
Oil-Pump Discharge Pressure

Hot-Water Control
In the hot-water mode, the chiller produces hot water as its primary objective, rather than chilled
water. As an option, the Extended Operation (EXOP) package allows an external controller to
enable, disable, and modulate this mode. It can be performed with or without a secondary
condenser. See also Heat Recovery/Auxiliary Condenser (ACOS), p. 32 option.
Ice-Making Control
For chillers that have been selected to allow for ice-making operation, the standard control package
includes the ice-making mode. As an option, the Extended Operation (EXOP) package allows an
external controller to enable, disable, and modulate this mode.
Base-Loading Control
This feature allows an external controller to directly modulate the capacity of the chiller. It is
typically used in applications where virtually infinite sources of evaporator load and condenser
capacity are available and it is desirable to control the loading of the chiller. Two examples are
industrial process applications and cogeneration plants. Industrial process applications might use
this feature to impose a specific load on the facilitys electrical system. Cogeneration plants might
use this feature to balance the systems heating, cooling, and electrical generation.
All chiller safeties and Adaptive Control functions are in full effect when Base Loading is enabled.
AdaptiView controls Adaptive Control logic limits the loading of the chiller to prevent the chiller
from shutting down on a safety limit should one of the following events occur:
The chiller approaches full current
The evaporator temperature drops too low
The condenser pressure rises too high
These limits may prevent the chiller from reaching the load requested by the Base Loading signal.
An alternative and less radical approach to Base Loading indirectly controls chiller capacity.
Artificially load the chiller by setting the Chilled Water Setpoint lower than its normal range. Then,
modify the chillers load by adjusting the Current Limit Setpoint. This approach provides greater
safety and control stability because it leaves the chilled water temperature control logic in effect.
The chilled water temperature control responds more quickly to dramatic system changes and
limits chiller loading prior to reaching an Adaptive Control limit.
Ice-Making Control
This feature allows an external controller to control the chiller in an ice storage system. Ice storage
is typically used in areas where high electrical-demand charges can be offset by shifting building
energy use to off-peak (typically nighttime) hours.
While AdaptiView control is capable of running the chiller in Ice-Making mode, installation savings
and additional energy savings can be realized by using the Chiller Plant Control module of the
Tracer building automation system. Chiller Plant Control anticipates how much ice needs to be
made at night and operates the system accordingly. The controls are integrated with the chiller.
Two wires and preprogrammed software reduce field-installation cost and complex custom
programming.
The CenTraVac chiller is uniquely suited for low-temperature applications like ice storage, because
it provides multiple stages of compression. This allows the chiller to produce ice efficiently, while
experiencing less stress than a single-stage compression chiller.
Hot-Water Control
This feature allows an external controller to enable/disable and modulate the Hot Water Control
mode. Occasionally, CenTraVac chillers are used to provide heating as a primary mission. In this
case the external controller or operator would select a hot water temperature setpoint and the
chiller capacity would be modulated to maintain the setpoint. Heating is the primary mission and
cooling is a waste product or a secondary mission. This technique provides application flexibility,
especially in multiple-chiller plants in conjunction with undersized heating plants.
The chiller uses only one condenser for Hot Water Control, whereas Heat Recovery uses a
secondary condenser.
Refrigerant Monitor
The Extended Operation package allows for a refrigerant monitor to send a 4-20 mA signal to the
AdaptiView display. It can be calibrated to correspond to either 0-100 ppm or 0-1,000 ppm
concentration levels. The concentration level is displayed at the AdaptiView display, but the chiller
will not take any action based on the input from the refrigerant monitor.
Alternatively, a refrigerant monitor can be connected to Tracer SC, which has the ability to
increase ventilation in the equipment room.
enabled. The chilled water temperature remains stable, even when the water flow rate drops 50
percent in 30 seconds.
Another benefit of water flow compensation is disturbance rejection. Figure 25, p. 37 shows the
test results from step changes in water flow with increasing magnitudes. The leaving chilled water
temperature remains largely unaffected. Even the most severe changedropping water flow 66
percent in 30 secondscaused a small 1.5F variation in chilled water temperature.
It is unlikely that a chiller application would be making water flow changes of this magnitude. The
results demonstrate that the chiller is more than capable of supporting variable water flow
applications.
