Any suggestions on taking an oil sample on a Trane centrifugal chiller, should the sample be taken after the machine has run for a couple hours or is it OK to take the sample on a machine that has been off all winter?

Off all winter would be the worst case sample so maybe be the better one to take.
Is there any reason why you can't take both?

That makes alot of sense, I think we will do both. It's cheap protection afterall!
Thanks

I always took the sample in operating conditions, (so I would let it run). The suspended metals that they check your bearing wear with, would tend to settle at the bottom of the sump, (In my Opinion). I would check with trane though, especially if it is under warranty!

depending on the model can take the sample, I suggest you take oil sample after winter preferably the oil sample taken after 72hrs of continuous operation
