This document summarizes how Trane chillers are designed to restart rapidly after a power loss to minimize downtime for data centers. Trane chillers can restart in as little as 43 seconds, while other chillers may take 4-6 minutes or up to 15 minutes to restart. This fast restart capability helps protect servers from overheating and reduces the risks of data loss and equipment damage. The document also lists factors that influence chiller restart times and how Trane chiller design optimizes the restart process.

The mechanics of superior protection
Many factors influence chiller restart times: How long can your data center go without cooling before your servers begin to overheat? Three minutes? Five? • Type of power loss (brownout vs. blackout) • Operation prior to restart attempt Trane understands that when a power loss knocks a data • Stop to start timer of the chiller controller • Oil pressure designed our chillers to restart in a matter of seconds. • Chiller controller reboot time • Chiller controller’s ability to manage diagnostics Other chillers can take four to six minutes at best to restart. • Time needed for chiller to achieve near full load capacity Some will take as long as 15 minutes. In addition to protecting your data center from catastrophic loss A Trane chiller restarts in as little as 43 seconds. Thanks to due to overheating, a Trane chiller offers other advantages. The fast restart like this, you can substantially minimize the risks faster a chiller restarts, the smaller its chilled water tank needs to of financially devastating data loss and asset damage from be. For data centers that utilize chilled water storage, the storage overheating due to power outages. system can be smaller, less expensive and take up less space. <180 seconds to 80% Confirm evaporation flow 6 Confirm seconds cond flow 6 seconds Callevaporation Call for for cond water flowflow Pre/Post Call lube 60 seconds for cooling Time to Restart (seconds) Trane chiller Confirmdesign optimizes evaporation flow for fast restart 6 seconds at 0every point in the process. 60 240 Call for evaporation flow

Restart times are calculated with the following assumptions:
1. No latching diagnostics to prevent the chiller from starting 2. Oil temperature above setpoint a. Oil temp > Saturated evaporator temperature + 30ºF and oil temperature minimum must be 100ºF 3. 4. Restart inhibit not activated 5. Power up Start Delay setpoint set to 0 minutes 6. Stop to Start Timer set to 5 seconds 7. 8.
