Trane Air-to-Water Modular Heat Pump Offers All-Electric Heating, Cooling for Facilities with Limited Space
Trane introduced the new Thermafit Air-to-Water Modular Heat Pump Model AXM that offers flexible, all-electric heating and cooling; updates to its Voyager 3 and IntelliPak 2 Rooftop Units to meet the U.S. Department of Energy 2023 minimum efficiency standard and the company’s first air rotation unit to improve indoor comfort and air quality in warehouses and large facilities.
Modular Heat Pump Design Brings Efficiency, Scalable Operation and True Redundancy
The Trane Thermafit Air-to-Water Modular Heat Pump Model AXM is a fully electric modular unit that owners can scale to match a building’s heating or cooling load. The Model AXM moves heat rather than generating heat; thus, it can be three times more efficient than other forms of electric heating. The modular product line includes the Model AXM and eight product families that bring buildings into the future of sustainable comfort.
Updated Voyager 3 Rooftop Provide Increased Efficiency and Connected Controls
Trane has refreshed its line of Voyager 3 rooftop units with a host of system upgrades. In standard and high-efficiency configurations, the large commercial Voyager 3 unitary system now meets the DOE 2023 minimum efficiency standards. Voyager 3 systems are available in cooling only, electric heat, or gas heat configurations ranging from 27.5-50 tons. Voyager 3 systems provide part-load energy efficiency ratings up to 15.8 Integrated Energy Efficiency Ratio.
Taller Buildings Benefit from IntelliPak 2 Efficiency Improvements
Trane IntelliPak 2 rooftop 90–150-ton units have been improved for better efficiency and are equipped with a broad range of optional energy saving, indoor air quality, and control features. It includes a gas heat design with 81% steady state efficiency and increased part-load efficiency ratings up to 19.3 IEER to meet DOE 2023 minimum efficiency standards.
Air Rotation Units Bring Sustainability Benefits to Growing Construction Market
As an additional turnkey solution to its air handling portfolio and an alternative to rooftop units, Trane is introducing air rotation units that circulate hot and cold air for larger spaces such as warehouses and distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. When combined with traditional chillers and heating technology, ARUs circulate the indoor air two to three times per hour to create air temperature consistency and help to improve indoor air quality. ARUs can generate up to 30%-70% energy cost savings in a 15,000-square-foot facility.
