Before explaining the different options and accessories available, let’s first take a look at the current
range and review the definition of the RTAF chiller.
Sintesis family covers cooling capacity range from 300 to 750 kW. Numbers next to the circles
define the unit size.
Standard units are designed to withstand 700 hours to salt spray test.
Design and appearance: The new Trane Sintesis model RTAF chiller is the result of a
research for higher reliability, energy efficiency and lower sound levels. Also it has an
innovative design predominantly white (White 9002).
Minimize the risk of corrosion: This series have a huge improvement of corrosion resistance.
The condenser is made of micro channel coils, which are 100% aluminum. In consequence
galvanic corrosion is avoided. Also, micro channel coils are also well adapted to dirty
environments thanks to their small thickness and fins profile.
Standard coil 700h: no leakage, no performance loss and better than traditional copper/black
epoxy fins coils (500h).
Considerable reduction of refrigerant charge: Sintesis chillers are equipped with micro
channel condensing coils, which allow an excellent heat exchange in every operating
condition and minimize the quantity of refrigerant used.
Trane compressor: Helical-rotary design with legendary reliability.
1
Refrigerant accumulator
In order to avoid having liquid entering in the compressor when the unit is stopped a refrigerant
accumulator is added in the following size. The accumulator is located after the condenser. It stores
liquid refrigerant before Oil Separator when the unit is stopped.
This valve is located between the evaporator outlet and the compressor to avoid the entrance of
liquid refrigerant in the compressor. It means that the valve opens before the compressor is on and
closes when it stops.

12. Condensor Coating, DIGIT 22
12.1.1. Application
12.1.2. Description
The fully-brazed construction micro channel coil increases the coil rigidity making them more rugged
to resist the rigors of job site handling and damage due to shipping. The micro channel coil's
headers, tubes and fins are assembled and then sprayed with a powder flux bonding agent. The coil
is then sent through a large controlled air automated brazing furnace that completely joins these
separate pieces as one solid micro channel coil.
This process substantially decreases the chances of leaks due to improper brazing techniques.
Within each tube are ports that serve as paths for the refrigerant to flow through the micro channel
coil. The bottom and top tubes of each coil section are always inactive refrigerant paths. This is
done to prevent refrigerant leaks due to corrosion that may be present from moisture resting
between the top or bottom tube and the gasket material and also serve as a buffer during the
installation and removal of the coil section.
Each fin surface is angled and louvered to create air turbulence through the coil which provides
more efficient and enhanced heat transfer without additional air pressure drop through the coil.
12.1.4. Incompatibilities
No incompatibility.
