by Brianna Crandall — August 5, 2016 — Trane, a global provider of indoor comfort solutions and services and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, introduced the addition of a new compact vertical blower coil to the terminal products portfolio — a complete family of products that deliver improved efficiency, ease of installation, acoustics and temperature control.
Available as a single-zone variable air volume (VAV) system with Tracer UC400 controllers, the vertical blower coil can deliver up to 66 percent higher efficiency, temperature stability, quiet operation, and dehumidification advantages for varying-occupancy space, ensuring occupant comfort.
Trane Single Zone VAV systems combine electronically commutated motors (ECM) and factory programmed variable speed controllers that adjust the speed of the unit’s motor and its air volume to meet unique load requirements in various spaces of a building. Because it precisely matches load requirements, the motor’s variable speed technology is ideal in partial load conditions.
Eve London, Terminal Products manager for Trane Service, pointed out:
For applications like schools, where available space is a concern, the new Trane compact vertical blower coil is a low-profile air solution able to fit in small spaces that can be easily relocated, as building needs change. The blower coil is designed with the service panels located in the front of the unit to provide customers with an easy installation, startup and services process.
Additional flexible design and configuration options include simple or complex controls, coil options and piping packages, making it an affordable system solution for a variety of building applications.
Terminal products also feature soft ramp technology that slowly increases and decreases fan speeds, adjusting to maintain temperature settings while dehumidifying the air. This improves indoor air quality by reducing the potential for mold or harmful bacteria in the building. Soft ramp technology also improves system acoustics by providing minimum air volume and eliminating noisy on-and-off cycling.
