We Take Our VAV
Seriously
Most of the industry seems to have accepted VAV terminals as simply a commodity. At The Trane Company, we believe
nothing could be further from the truth. Performance
and quality are a greater focus for all products
including VAV terminals. That is why Trane has committed itself to a product that
is head and shoulders above its competition. Here is
why VariTrane is the VAV terminal of choice:
Leadership: The Trane
Terminal Unit
The VariTrane air valve is truly the best modulation device available, Not only is it a rugged product, but it is the only modulation
device that provides linear airflow control. Looking at
the graph, notice the Trane air valve exhibits a
more linear response than the conventional blade damper design.
Linear airflow control is important because all control devices designed for VAV applications expect linear response to
their outputs. This means that the Trane air valve
most closely meets performance expectations of VAV
controllers.
Flow Ring
The VariTrane flow ring is a patented device which is designed to provide accurate airflow measurement regardless of
inlet duct conditions. This device provides multiple
points of flow sensing and represents flow in multiple
axes. This means that regardless of whether the inlet duct is coming in the side,
the top, or simply working its way around a
construction beam, the flow ring will accurately sense
flow. The flow ring can provide flow sensing accuracy within ± 5 percent with a 1 1/2 equivalent duct diameter of straight duct
upstream of the unit. Trane always provides this flow
sensor, regardless of controls provided, to assist in
balancing.
ARI 880 Certified
All Trane terminal units are ARI certified. ARI 880 certification is the only
way to assure yourself that the performance data being
provided by the manufacturer is reliable and has
been tested in accordance with industry acceptance standards. It is like having
a test engineer on your staff. ARI 880 certification is
applicable to pressure drop, flow performance and
acoustical performance. Accept nothing less than ARI certification.
UL And CSA Approved
The safety of your building occupants and your business is essential. UL Listing and CSA Approval assures you that
Trane terminal units have been built to industry
established safety standards and provides you the peace
of mind that you have required safe equipment on your project. UL Listing and
CSA Approval are applicable to the terminal unit as a
complete assembly, not simply the electric coil or other components.
