Those are the approximate weights for a three stage Trane chiller complete with vessels up to about 500 ton capacity.
The old compressor in the photo is ballpark 800-1000 tons of cooling. The 1st stage volute casing is about 5000 lbs, motor about 5000 lbs and the 2nd stage volute maybe 2500 lbs. Lots of fun picking that kind of weight up when the engineers and designers jam them into some little corner of a machine room!
This an overhaul video of a 3 stage Trane CVHE. These guys have lots of room to work and questionable taste in music!
