Performance Climate Changer

Performance Climate ChangerNext generation air handler from Trane

Trane Performance ClimateChanger Air Handler Two-inch, R-13 foam-injected panels withmid-span, internal thermal breaks andstandard thermal break access doors. Theno-through-metal design delivers thermalperformance that helps ensure condensationwill not form on the casing exterior, even with55 F supply air temperature and unit externalconditions of 81 F dry bulb and 73 F wetbulb. Filter technology that exceeds LEEDrequirements and reduces pressure dropsup to 50 percent versus previous designs.Trane has a history of combining customer needs,engineering expertise, advanced technology andcutting-edge innovation to provide superiorproducts that deliver exceptional performance.The next generation of Trane air handlerscontinues this tradition.Energy efficientTrane has designed even the most basicfeatures to encourage energy conservation,allowing the system to surpass minimumASHRAE Standard 90.1 requirements.Superior performanceThe Performance air handler has the tightestcasing in the commercial ARI market, meeting anASHRAE 111 Class 6 leakage level. This leakagerate is better than most custom designs. Superiorperformance features include: Low-leak casing design that achieves less than1.0 percent leakage rate and can withstand /- 8 inches w.g. static pressure, with no morethan 0.0042 inch deflection.2 Trane Peformance Climate Changer Air HandlerThe Performance air handler delivers: Superior performanceIndustry-leading energy efficiencySystem optimizationHighest qualityLowest installed cost
