Trane® Expands Wireless Sensing to<br />
VRF, Upgrades IntelliPak® 1 Rooftop<br />
Units to Help Building Owners Meet<br />
Decarbonization Goals<br />
DAVIDSON, N.C. — Trane — by Trane Technologies, a global<br />
climate innovator — is building on its commitment to deliver<br />
greater energy efficiency with Air-Fi® Wireless Sensors for<br />
Trane/Mitsubishi Electric CITY MULTI® VRF and updates to<br />
the to the IntelliPak 1 HVAC Rooftop Unit. The enhancements<br />
provide building owners with equipment, data, and<br />
controls to help stay ahead of efficiency standards, meet<br />
their decarbonization goals, and make retrofits easier and<br />
more cost-effective.<br />
“Changes to the environment, regulations, and incentives<br />
will have an increasing impact on business and building<br />
operations,” said Manlio Valdes, vice president, Trane Product<br />
Management. “By strengthening Trane’s best-in-class<br />
portfolio with greater intelligence, increased efficiency, and<br />
flexible control, building owners, contractors, and engineers<br />
can advance their strategies and designs to support decarbonization.”<br />
Air-Fi Wireless Sensors Compatible With Trane/Mitsubishi<br />
Electric CITY MULTI VRF<br />
Building owners using Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems<br />
can now benefit from wireless sensing technology that<br />
enables enhanced, individualized comfort. Air-Fi Wireless<br />
Sensors, which integrate with Tracer® SC+ or Tracer Concierge®,<br />
are now compatible with Trane/Mitsubishi Electric<br />
VRF systems. Air-Fi Wireless Sensors uniquely detect and<br />
monitor temperature, humidity, occupancy, and Carbon Dioxide<br />
(CO2) from a single device.<br />
“This is a great example of the continued collaboration<br />
between Trane and Mitsubishi Electric to offer Trane’s Air-Fi<br />
Wireless Sensors for Trane/Mitsubishi Electric VRF Equipment,”<br />
said Valdes. “Combining our expertise helps to deliver<br />
more advanced controls options to enable customers to<br />
optimize comfort, reliability and energy use throughout any<br />
commercial space.”<br />
Air-Fi Wireless sensors offer:<br />
• Reduced wiring for faster project completion and easier<br />
installation<br />
• Industry-leading battery life for worry-free maintenance<br />
• Maximized network reliability — wireless mesh technology<br />
self-heals and re-directs communications paths instantly in<br />
case of interference or link failures<br />
IntelliPak 1 Now Comes Standard with Symbio® 800 Controller,<br />
Meets 2023 DOE Requirements<br />
The IntelliPak 1 has been upgraded to meet the U.S. Department<br />
of Energy’s (DOE) 2023 minimum efficiency requirements<br />
and now comes equipped standard with the Trane<br />
Symbio 800 controller. The IntelliPak 1 delivers an industry-leading<br />
part-load efficiency rating of up to 18.5 IEER (Integrated<br />
Energy Efficiency Ratio), depending on the system<br />
configuration, and meets ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-<br />
2019. It provides three tiers of efficiency for most tonnages<br />
to meet specific application and regulatory needs: standard<br />
efficiency, high efficiency, and eFlex ultra-high efficiency,<br />
Trane’s highest-efficiency unit.<br />
