General Information
The GSSD split unit has been ARI rated with the Trane TWE air handlers
with ICM 2 variable speed motors to
create a complete split system for residential applications. The GSSD
equipment is completely assembled,
piped, internally wired and test operated in the factory. The GSSD equipment is ETL and CSA listed.
A prewired terminal strip is provided
for field control wiring.
The system water inlet and outlet connections are female 1-inch National
Pipe Thread (NPT) swivel quick connectors with stainless steel stop ring to
simplify field installation.
The GSSD units are shipped with a
pressurized dry nitrogen holding
charge to ensure clean components.
All equipment has easy to read decals
and labels to aid in service of unit,
identifying port locations and indicating caution areas.
Safety
The GSSD was designed with protection of unit components in mind. High
and low pressure cutouts are included
to prolong the life of the compressor.
A 35 degrees F freezestat for non-antifreeze applications or 20 degrees F
freezestat for closed loop with antifreeze is included to protect against
fluid freezing in the unit’s water heat
exchanger. All safety devices with exception of compressor internal overload are connected to a lockout relay
to turn off the compressor, the loop
pumps and the desuperheater pump if
a problem is incurred.
Note:
The lockout relay may be reset by
cycling power to the unit at the disconnect or thermostat system switch.
Brass Loop Water
Connections
Two 1-inch brass swivel connectors
on the units help eliminate the need for
a backup wrench when tightening the
loop water connections.
Gaskets for the brass connections can
be found inside a cloth bag located in
the electrical compartment.
Cabinet
The cabinet is constructed of galvanized heavy gauge steel. The finish is
applied by an electrostatic powder
spray system in the color of crushed
ice.
The top, front half of the diagonal cabinet is removable for access to all of
the internal components by removing
only two screws. All panels are insulated with 1/2-inch thick, neoprene
backed, acoustical fiberglass insulation
Desuperheater
(Optional)
The double wall vented desuperheater
uses heat off of the discharge line of
the compressor to preheat a home’s
domestic hot water. Hot water is provided at virtually no cost to the user
during the cooling operation and efficiently during the heating operation by
reducing the amount of time the hot
water heater runs.
The desuperheater’s stainless steel,
voluted, circulator pump is built into
the unit. The connections are 1/2-inch
NPT female water inlet and outlet connections. The desuperheater has two
temperature control sensors that monitor the temperature of the discharge
line of the compressor and the temper-
ature-out of the hot water heater. The
desuperheater is disable until the compressor discharge line reaches 145 degrees F. The desuperheater pump will
automatically shut off if the temperature of the incoming water exceeds
125 degrees F to prevent excessive
water temperatures and pump damage.
Trane provides a twist lock fuse for the
desuperheater. The fuse is shipped
loose to ensure pump integrity. The
pump is water cooled and should be
connected to the water heater prior to
its running.
The fuse is located in a cloth bag in the
electric box. (See Page 12, Figure 6
for fuse location).
Thermostats
The following wall mounted thermostats may be used in conjuction with
these units:
! Single-stage manual changeover
with Heat-Off-Cool system switch
and On-Off fan switch. This
thermostat is suitable if there is no
electric backup heater used with a
water-to-air heat pump.
! A single stage cool/two stage heat
manual changeover with HeatOff-Cool system switch, Auto/On
fan switch, and a NormalAuxiliary-Emergency Heat switch.
The Normal-Auxiliary-Emergency
Heat switch thermostat is suitable
when an electric backup heater is
used in conjunction with a waterto-air heat pump.

Loop Water Applications
It should be noted that there is no mechanical difference between geothermal (closed loop) and ground water
(open loop) GSSD units. Generally in
a closed loop application, there is a
percentage of antifreeze in the water.
In these applications, the 20 degree F
freezestat, along with the 7 psig safety
pressure switch may be used. All other
applications require the 35 degree F
freezestat, along with the 35 psig safety pressure switch.
Ground Water Applications
(Open Loop)
Where an existing or proposed well
can provide an ample supply of suitable quality water, open ground water
systems may be very efficient. However, there are several potential considerations that should be addressed
prior to installation of an open loop
system:
! A 60 mesh straining device must
be placed in the incoming water
line. The sand filter/separator
helps ensure clean water by
removing any particles in the
water. Note: A filter/separator
should be available from your
local dealer.
! Even if plenty of water is
available, there needs to be an
acceptable way to discharge it
after it has passed through the heat
pump. A three-ton heat pump is
Installation - Water Loop
apt to use one million gallons of
water per year. It may be
necessary to install a recharge well
to return the water to the aquifer.
In some soils, this may be difficult
to do.
! Water quality must also be
acceptable to maintain the
integrity and life of the unit. The
loop fluid must have minimal
suspended solids, and must be
non-corrosive to copper or brass.
See Table 2 for specifications.

Ground Water Applications
(Closed Loop)
Loop sizing should be done by a qualified installer to insure maximized unit
performance.
In areas where the ground water temperature is 66 degrees F or less, the
earth coupling fluid requires at least a
15 percent by volume antifreeze solution. Using Table 3, calculate the approximate water volume of the
system. Add one gallon to your total as
an allowance for water in each heat
pump and connection hoses. Check
the earth coupling design for the antifreeze percentage required. MORE IS
NOT BETTER-Do no exceed the
amount indicated in the design specifications.

Refrigerant Charge
GSSD Units Coupled with
TWE Air Handlers
The GSSD IS coupled with the TWEE series. Table 4 may be used to determine the amount of charge necessary
for the split unit system without any
refrigerant line connecting the two.
Table 5 can be used to determine the
amount of refrigerant needed for lines.
By adding the two weights together,
the approximate total system charge
can be obtained. For fine tuning the
charge, see Units Coupled with Non-
TWE Air Handlers and Fine Tuning

Refrigeration System
! Compressor: The unit includes a
high efficiency scroll compressor
with and internal vibration isolator
that absorbs starting and stopping
energy. It also contains an internal
overload protection. External
vibration isolation is provided by
rubber mounting devices located
underneath the mounting base of
the compressor.
! Water-to-Refrigerant Heat
Exchanger: The water-torefrigerant heat exchanger is a
high quality stainless steel braze
plate heat exchanger. This
stainless material offers
exceptional corrosion resistance.
The heat exchanger has a working
pressure rating of 450 psig on both
the refrigerant and water sides. To
help ensure clean water for the
water-to-refrigerant heat
exchanger, Trane recommends a
sand filter/separator for open loop
systems.
! Freezestat and Lock-out Relay: A
freezestat is included to protect the
unit from unusually cold loop fluid
temperatures or no fluid flow
conditions. A 35 degree F
freezestat is necessary in open
Refrigeration System
loop applications and closed loop
applications without adequate
antifreeze. A 20 degree F
freezestat may be used with closed
loop applications with antifreeze
solution only. A lockout relay
circuit consisting of three safety
devices (low pressure, high
pressure, and Freezestat) will
trigger the lockout relay to shut off
the compressor, the loop pumps
and the desuperheater pump
(optional) when a safety is tripped.
A triggered lock-out relay is a key
indication that there is a problem
in the system and service may be
necessary. The safety that caused
the lockout relay to energize will
reset itself after approximately
five minutes. If the lockout relay is
manually reset by power
interruption prior to this five
minute period, the unit will be
unable to run. To manually reset
the lockout relay, the disconnect or
system switch at the thermostat
must be toggled.
! Reversing Valve: The reversing
valve is a pilot operated sliding
piston type with replaceable
encapsulated magnetic coil. The
reversing valve is energized when
the unit is in the cooling mode and
de-energizes in the heating mode.
! Refrigerant Tubing: All refrigerant
tubing is constructed of copper.
The low temperature refrigerant
lines are factory insulated with a 3/
8-inch thick elastomeric insulation
(UL 94V-5 rated), with a flame
spread rating of less than 25 and
smoke density rating of less than
50. It has been tested in
accordance with ASTM-85.
! Refrigerant Metering: The
refrigeration circuit is provided
with a bi-directional thermal
expansion valve to allow operation
with entering water temperatures
from 25 degrees F to 120 degrees
F.
! Liquid Line Filter: The unit
contains a bi-directional liquid line
filter drier to remove any
contaminants within the
refrigeration circuit.
! Servicing Pressure Ports: The
equipment is provided with both
high and low pressure schraeder
ports. The ports are located
outside the unit case for
convenient access.

Miscellaneous Equipment
Accessory Items
Note:
The following equipment may be purchased through the nearest Trane distributor.
! Water Regulating Valve Assembly:
The water regulating valve
assembly consists of a direct
acting valve and a reverse acting
valve. The direct acting valve
opens in response to an increase in
discharge pressure during the
cooling cycle. The reverse acting
valve opens in response to a
decrease in suction pressure
during the heating cycle. Water
regulating valves should be used
where low flow, and low or high
fluid temperature conditions could
occur.This option is beneficial
with open loop systems, but not
necessary.
! Motorized Water Valve for open
loop systems: The motorized water
valve is installed on the return line
of the system between the loop
and the loop pump module. This
isolation device is a much less
expensive and very effective
alternative. When the compressor
begins running, the valve will
open, allowing water to flow
through the unit. As the
compressor shuts down, the valve
slowly closes off. The main
purpose of the automatic device is
to prevent water hammer, by
keeping the pressure raised in the
loop system during off cycles.
! Electric Strip Heaters: If the ETL
listed strip heaters are used, they
can be installed directly inside the
TWE air handler. These heaters
are rated at 230 volts and provide
electric heat for both supplemental
and emergency heat requirements.
There are a number of heater
capacities available.
! Pump Module: The pump module
and the hose kit make a complete
self-contained pumping package
for the earth-coupled heat pump
system. These kits contain all the
necessary components for the
installation, operation and
maintenance of the water circuit of
a closed loop geothermal
application. Standard pump
module features include insulated
Grundfos pumps, insulated
cabinet, optional cast iron or
bronze pumps, 3-way brass valves
and the choice of a one or two
pump module.
! Hose Kits: The hose kits include
two brass, 1-inch male pipe thread
(MPT) by barb-fittings, two brass
90 degree 1-inch, MPT by barbelbows with pressure/temperature
ports and 10 feet of rubber hose
with 4 hose clamps.
! Sand Filter/Separator: A sand
filter/separator helps ensure clean
water for the water-to-refrigerant
heat exchanger. The recommended
strainer is 60 mesh or greater. The
strainer keeps particles and debris
from entering the system.
