T-Series Climate Changer ® Air Handlers Sizes 3 through ... - Trane

Removing Airborne Contaminants
Effectively controlling particulate and
gaseous contaminants by reducing
their concentrations to acceptable
levels or removing them from the
airstream altogether is another key to
ensuring good indoor air quality. That
necessitates proper filter selection.
Trane’s T-Series Climate Changer ® air
handler can be equipped with a variety
of filtration options:
• pleated media with 20- to 95-percent
efficiency (ASHRAE Standard 52-1976)
• bag or cartridge filters with 65- to 95
percent efficiency (ASHRAE Standard
52-1976)
• antimicrobial-treated filters
Recovering Energy
Increased ventilation airflow increases
heating and cooling loads, and
ultimately, operating costs. Bringing in
more fresh air when outdoor
temperatures are low also increases
the risk of damaging coils. Airside
energy recovery addresses both
concerns by salvaging heat from the
exhaust airstream to precondition
outdoor air entering the building. A coil
runaround loop may be used in
conjunction with other Trane products
to achieve a more energy-efficient air
handling system. See your local Trane
sales engineer for more details.
Trane offers a wide variety of filtration
options for the T-Series Climate Changer air
handler.
Features
and
Benefits
Providing Quiet Comfort
Acceptable space sound levels
enhance occupant comfort and
productivity. However, system designs
that promote good IAQ can adversely
affect acoustics: unlined ductwork, air
handlers with solid double-wall
construction, and increased fan static
pressures (resulting from the addition
of energy recovery and increased
filtration) can magnify the building’s
background sound.
Controlling noise at its source is the
most cost-effective solution for
providing quiet comfort in the space.
This “source attenuation” can
eliminate the need for duct-mounted
silencers and thereby lower fan
operating costs (by reducing system
static pressure). But to control source
noise, you must choose:
• The right fan – FC, BI, AF, plug or
Model Q
• The right casing construction – use
solid or perforated double-wall
• The right unit configuration – possibly
add an inlet or discharge plenum
All of the above choices should be
based on AMCA 300 tested data and a
working knowledge of acoustics. Trane
has the tools (such as the Trane
Acoustics Program [TAP ]) and
expertise to help with your acousticallysensitive
jobs. Consult your local Trane
engineer for assistance.

Total Quality for a Total
Solution
The T-Series Climate Changer air
handler combines comprehensive
performance certification by the Air
Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute
(ARI) with thorough laboratory testing
and advanced manufacturing methods.
Together, these elements help assure
that each T-Series Climate Changer air
handler operates predictably and
reliably throughout its life. Unlike other
rating methods that check fan
performance alone, T-Series Climate
Changers are performance-tested in
accordance with ARI Standard 430 in a
certification process that evaluates the
entire air handler on the basis of
airflow, static pressure, fan speed and
brake horsepower. Heating and cooling
coils are rigorously tested in
compliance with ARI Standard 410 to
assure that they also deliver cataloged
performance.
The T-Series Climate Changer air
handler and its standard options are
listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
This product has been evaluated by UL
and meets the applicable U.S. and
Canadian safety standards.
Modifications to the TSC may affect UL
Listing. Consult your local Trane office
for further information.
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility employs a system of “Total
Quality Checks” and verifications at
each work station to ensure consistent
high quality. And through the use of
Demand Flow Technology (DFT) in
our manufacturing facilities, we can
better serve you by providing greater
product flexibility, ever improving
product quality and shorter
manufacturing cycles.
