Trane by Trane Technologies has announced multiple new products and service enhancements it said will support, simplify and streamline the path toward greater efficiency, electrification, decarbonization and regulatory compliance.
“At Trane, we continually innovate and enhance our products to empower customers to move toward their decarbonization goals and increased efficiencies,” said David Molin, vice president of Trane Product Management, Equipment, Controls and Digital. “Our new product and service technologies support this through improved connectivity and remote access to critical systems and building data, greater temperature control and comfort, and simplified installation and maintenance.”
The next-generation, all-electric Axiom Rooftop Water Source Heat Pumps integrate water-source efficiency with leading Trane rooftop models in capacities between 12.5 to 25 tons. Built for commercial buildings, new construction and retrofits, the latest Axiom Rooftop Water Source Heat Pump delivers greater flexibility in meeting decarbonization goals with a solution that is configurable for geothermal, boiler/towers or hybrid applications in closed or open loops using ground-source or open water.
Along with larger capacities, additional enhancements include: the Symbio 700 unit controller for easier commissioning, monitoring and servicing of HVAC systems and building connectivity for advanced troubleshooting and energy management; implified, cost-effective installation and serviceability with a hinged control panel, color-coded wiring and keyed connectors and no fan belts; standard two-speed airflow, with options for single-zone or multiple-zone variable air volume and optional modulating hot gas reheat for effective dehumidification.
The new Trane/Mitsubishi Electric s-MEXT G00 is the company’s first cooling unit specifically designed for small- to medium-sized data rooms and IT closets. Compatible with Trane/Mitsubishi Electric P-Series ductless units, the indoor cooling unit features an innovative split-system design that accommodates the needs of light commercial buildings across various vertical markets. It also includes: flexible downflow and upflow designs that accommodate rooms with standard or raised floors; three housing sizes with six output levels ranging from 6 to 44kW, pairing high output density with energy efficiency; cascading capacity for up to 10 units to ensure even power distribution and offset operating power; simplified installation and maintenance with front access to main components and automatic refrigerant fill levels and other safety features.
The Symbio 500 Unit Controllers for Airside and Water Source Heat Pumps offer a field- or factory-applied option that provides an easy drop-in replacement unit for the UC400 and replaces the UC600 on performance climate changes and air handlers. New Symbio units can be used across a wide range of applications.
Other features include: multiple communication options, including Air-Fi Wireless, BACnet/IP and BACnet/MSTP, with seamless connections to Tracer® SC+ and other building automation systems; an expanded user interface, service tool capability, and secure remote access via Trane Connect and customization for any current or emerging application.
As part of its commitment to connecting customers to innovative systems and solutions that support their decarbonization goals, Trane now offers expanded Connected Mechanical Service Agreements. These leverage data collection, analytics and remote service to anticipate and diagnose potential issues before they impact equipment performance and operating costs.
