Facts

• The typical central air conditioning system is a split system, with an outdoor air conditioning, or “compressor bearing unit” and an indoor coil, which is usually installed on top of the furnace in the home.
• Using electricity as its power source, the compressor pumps refrigerant through the system to gather heat and moisture from indoors and remove it from the home.
• Heat and moisture are removed from the home when warm air from inside the home is blown over the cooled indoor coil. The heat in the air transfers to the coil, thereby “cooling” the air.
• The heat that has transferred to the coil is then “pumped” to the exterior of the home, while the cooled air is pumped back inside, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
• Central air conditioning can also be provided through a package unit or a heat pump.

Benefits

• Indoor comfort during warm weather – Central air conditioning helps keep your home cool and reduces humidity levels.
• Cleaner air – As your central air conditioning system draws air out of various rooms in the house through return air ducts, the air is pulled through an air filter, which removes airborne particles such as dust and lint. Sophisticated filters may remove microscopic pollutants, as well. The filtered air is then routed to air supply duct-work that carries it back to rooms.
• Quieter operation – Because the compressor bearing unit is located outside the home, the indoor noise level from its operation is much lower than that of a free-standing air conditioning unit.

The Performance Climate Changer™ air handler

Chicago, IL May 5, 2010 – It is no longer enough for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to simply deliver “conditioned air.” That is why today Trane is introducing its Performance Climate Changer™ air handler with cataloged capacities up to 60,000 cfm. The Performance air handler features energy recovery, airflow monitoring, and advanced humidity control options that improve the building environment and better control temperature and humidity, while optimizing performance.

These options include Trane Cool Dry Quiet (CDQ™) desiccant dehumidification wheels, energy recovery wheels, direct-drive plenum fan arrays, and dual-path split dehumidification units. When combined with the existing benefits of low pressure drop, enhanced filtration and optimized casing designed for minimal leakage, the Performance air handler provides unmatched filtration, option flexibility and airflow efficiency. These latest technology advances enable a Performance Climate Changer HVAC system to deliver optimized performance with up to 30 percent fan energy savings compared with the previous generation air-handling units.

“As we become an increasingly global society, the importance of energy and operational efficiency cannot be minimized,” said Gina Cottrell, global airside business leader at Trane. “The innovations of the Performance Climate Changer air handler provide superior performance for commercial, institutional and industrial buildings worldwide as well as increase the comfort and productivity of the people in those buildings.”

Systems utilizing the Performance air handler deliver optimized HVAC performance with measurable energy savings. This air handler can be applied with chilled water systems and control systems in a low-flow, low temperature HVAC system designed to reduce energy consumption by up to 30 percent, while helping to reduce emissions, lower first cost and operating cost, and provide better comfort with lower space humidity.

Facts

• Using electricity as its energy source, heat pumps are used for either the heating or cooling of your home by transferring heat between two reservoirs.
• In the warmer months, the heat pump acts like an air conditioner, removing heat from the air inside your home and transferring it outside.
• During colder months, heat from outdoor air is extracted and transferred to the interior of your home. Believe it or not, even a 32° Fahrenheit day produces enough heat to warm a home using a heat pump.

Benefits

• Year-round, energy-efficient indoor comfort for moderate climates – A central heat pump helps maintain comfortable temperatures inside your home and reduces humidity levels year-round. Homes located in regions with severely cold temperatures may either require supplemental heating or be better served with an air conditioner/furnace combination.
• Cleaner air – As your heat pump system draws air out of various rooms in the house through return air ducts, the air is pulled through an air filter, which removes airborne particles such as dust and lint. Sophisticated filters may remove microscopic pollutants, as well. The filtered air is then routed to air supply duct-work that carries it back to rooms. Whenever the air conditioner is running, this cycle repeats continually, constantly filtering and cleaning the air in your home.
• Quieter operation – Because the compressor-bearing unit of the typical central heat pump system is located outside the home, the indoor noise level from its operation is much lower than that of a free-standing air conditioning unit.
