Key Benefits:
Comprehensive Chiller-Heater Systems can help you meet diverse heat and cooling loads. These flexible systems can be combined with virtually any hydronic heating and cooling solution, with option to address indoor air quality through improved filtration, air cleaning and variable ventilation.
Comprehensive Chiller-Heater System controls allow you to consistently maintain high performance by managing equipment capabilities and limitations properly to serve changing conditions. It also allows you to design for redundancy and defrost management, as well as to maintain comfort as loads fluctuate throughout the day.
Exploit dramatic improvements in heat pump heating capabilities to help buildings function better and reduce carbon emissions. Chiller plant controls provide sequencing and advanced optimization strategies that reduce energy use.
The basic Trane Comprehensive Chiller-Heater System packages best-in-class air-to-water heat pump equipment and controls and applies technical expertise to deliver an industry-leading electrified solution for almost any building. This electrified system works with many existing hydronic airside systems, offering configurations and options to fit a variety of applications.
This innovative cold climate heat pump system captures and stores excess heat energy from inside the building and outdoor air for use the next day. Heat energy is stored and dispatched in thermal energy storage tanks—“ice tanks.” The ability to store heat enables the system to work effectively in very cold climates. It is also an ideal fit in dense urban areas where limited rooftop space can’t accommodate large rooftop equipment.
