Features and Benefits |
|
Trane commercial rooftops are moving into the 21st century! Innovative technology
and new features have been incorporated in the
IntelliPak® Rooftops to meet the demanding requirements
of the coming years.
Trane’s rooftop Unit Control Module (UCM) is an innovative, modular microprocessor
control design that actually replaces the
electromechanical controls on large rooftops. The UCM
coordinates the actions of the rooftop in an efficient manner and provides stand-alone operation of the unit. Access to the
unit controls is via a Human Interface Panel which is a
standard component of the IntelliPak rooftop. This panel provides a high degree of control, superior monitoring capability, and
unmatched diagnostic information using a 2 line, 40
character per line, English language display. There are
no diagnostic "codes" requiring a translation key for interpretation. All system status information and control adjustments
can be made from the onboard Human Interface Panel.
The IntelliPak rooftop can optionally be configured for direct communication with a Tracer® building management system using
a twisted pair of wires. This link brings all the
status data and control adjustment features of the
IntelliPak rooftop to a central location for centralized building control on-site or from a remote location.
Proven features maintained in our design include: Trane’s 3-D® scroll compressors, Statitrac™ direct space sensing building pressurization control, double wall access door construction, two-inch
spring isolation, 90-95 percent efficient bag filters,
extra large capacity (up to 130 tons) unit sizes,
redesigned pitched roof, through the door nonfused
disconnect and much more. All allow greater flexibility to meet the most demanding
job requirements. What you really get with a Trane
rooftop is a total comfort system. Total comfort means
creating an environment that remains at the right temperature and is quiet, energy efficient and reliable. The 21st Century
will require technology and flexibility to bring total
comfort to every building space.
Integrated Rooftop Systems: Profitable, Simple
Integrated Comfort™ System (ICS)
Trane integrated rooftop systems make design and installation of rooftop comfort systems profitable and easy. The Integrated
Comfort™ system (ICS) improves job profit and
increases job control by combining Trane rooftop units
and a Tracer® building management system. This
integrated system provides total building comfort and
control. The primary motivation for building owners/
managers in making the purchasing decision of HVAC controls system is no longer
just saving energy; it is having the ability to
automate their facilities and the convenience of
interface to control systems.
Simplifying The Comfort System
At Trane, we think new technology and innovation should bring you more capabilities,
more flexibility and at the same time be able to give
you equipment and systems that are easier to use,
easier to install, commission and service. The Rooftop Integrated Comfort system saves you time and money by simplifying system
design and system installation. When used with
Trane’s DDC/VAV boxes (or VariTrane™), system
balancing almost goes away because each VAV box is
commission and tested before it leaves the factory. All the status information and editing data from the rooftop units, VAV
boxes, lighting, exhaust and other auxiliary equipment
is available from Tracer for control, monitoring and
service support of your facility. Tracer, a family of building automation products from Trane, is designed with robust, application
specific software packages to minimize custom
programming requirements and enable system setup
and control through simple editing of parameters in the standard applications software. Should you select an Integrated
Comfort system for your facility, the accountability
for equipment, automation and controls is Trane’s,
Trane’s, and Trane’s! The IntelliPak rooftop, as a part of an Integrated
Comfort system, provides powerful maintenance
monitoring, control and reporting capabilities. The
Tracer places the rooftop in the appropriate operating mode for operation for:
system on/off, night setback, demand limiting ,
setpoint adjustment based on outside parameters and much more. Up to 48 different unit diagnostic conditions can be
monitored through Tracer to let you know about things
like: sensor failures, loss of supply airflow, and a
compressor trip out. Further, the addition of Building
Management Network software offers remote scanning, automatic receipt of alarms,
and easy dial-up access to over 100 various Tracer
sites across town or across the country.
