Trane Chiller, faster to start or restart

[mikemck]

Small point of contention at work.

Running two Trane CVH 1200 ton chillers in a production environment.

Based on my experience, starting the chiller is faster than restarting after a power glitch.

Correct?

what style Unit Control Panel is on that chiller,and with a TOD start the inhibited restart has timed out for a true start.Trane wants 30 minutes before that winding take another hit,if it weren't their guys would be restarting it at will.like a car on a winters morning!

[greybeard]

that also depends on the oil temp, if too cold it acts almost as a backdoor anti-recycle timer. needs to be above 95F at min.

[maxster]

in that case put the oil pump in HAND and get the turbo torch......small tip!!

The only reason it would be faster to start is because on a restart it has to go through postlube which takes 3 minutes and then it can initiate a start sequence.
