Features and Benefits
External Shaft—This simple design provides controller flexibility and is designed to facilitate
actuator field replacement.
Position Indicator—The position indicator shows current air valve position to aid in system
commissioning. Many times this can be seen from the floor without climbing a ladder.
External Actuator—This feature increases serviceability, control system compatibility, and actuator
clutch access for simplified commissioning.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Features
The oil embargo of the early 1970s created an energy crisis, which resulted in tighter buildings, and
reduced ventilation rates. A fallout issue of tighter building construction was poor indoor air
quality. This heightened IAQ awareness. IAQ issues have been featured in publications from the
smallest towns to the largest cities. System design should consider applicable ventilation and IAQ
standards.(See your local Trane Sales Engineer or visit www.trane.com
for additional information).
Good indoor air quality results from units and systems which:
• Provide the required amount of ventilation air to each zone during all operating conditions
• Limit particulates from entering occupied spaces
VariTrane units are designed with simplified access and a full line of insulation options including:
Matte-faced—Typical industry standard with reduced first cost.
Closed-cell—This insulation has an R-value and performance equivalent to matte-faced insulation.
The main difference is the reduction of water vapor transmission. Closed-cell is designed for use
in installations with a high chance of water formation. (It has been used to coat the exterior of chiller
evaporator barrels for many years.)
Foil-faced—A fiberglass insulation with a thin aluminum coating on the air stream side to prevent
fibers from becoming airborne. The aluminum lining is acceptable for many applications, however
it is not as rugged as double-wall.
Double-wall—Premium insulation often used in many health care applications with insulation
locked between metal liners. This eliminates the possibility for insulation entering the airstream
and allows for unit interior wipe-down as needed.
VariTrane VAV units are the most prepared IAQ units in the industry. The end result is a reliable
product designed for peak performance, regardless of job site conditions or handling.
Tracer Building Automation System
