Features and Benefits
•Numerous heater options and temperature rise capabilities available.
The Horizon™ Outdoor Air Unit (OAU) provides conditioned outdoor air suitable for mec hanical
ventilation or make-up air. The OAU conditions outdoor air as necessary to meet system
performance requirements by ventilation with filtration, cooling, dehumidification, and/or heating.
The OAU may deliver ventilation air in a number of ways. Refer to “System Configurations,” p. 13
and Figure 5, p. 15, Figure 6, p. 15, and Figure 8, p. 16 for more information.
•V entilation with Filtration
•Cooling
•Dehumidification
•Heating
System Configurations
Dedicated outdoor air systems can deliver conditioned outdoor air in one of the following ways:
1. Conditioned outdoor air supplied directly to each occupied space, with the local terminal unit
controlling the space dry-bulb temperature. Refer to Figure 2, p. 13.
2. Conditioned outdoor air supplied directly to local terminal units, or return ducts of lo cal RTUs,
which deliver a mixture of the conditioned outdoor air and (conditioned) recirculated air to the
space. Refer to Figure 3, p. 14.
3. Conditioned outdoor air supplied directly to a single space to control the space temperature
and humidity. F o r example, this application will provide temperature and humidity control of
ventilated spaces, such as commercial kitchens or laboratories.

Horizon OAU Operation
The Horizon™ OAU can use either DX cooling, condenser reheat, electric or gas heat to condition
outdoor air. The unit controls modulate cooling and heating capacity, reducing the supply air
temperature swings associated with staged heating and cooling.

Consider Figure 5, p. 15. If the outdoor air dew point is above the dehumidification setpoint (or in
the case of zone control, the zone RH is above the RH setpoint), the OAU will:
•cool the outdoor air to remove required moisture and
•reheat to meet the discharge temperature setpoint.

At h1, 100 percent outdoor air enters the O AU . Th e O A U filters, cools, and dehumidifies the air as
it moves through the evaporator coil. Air leaves the evaporator coil saturated at the preset dew
point condition (h3) and is reheated by the reheat coil to the pre-set reheat temperature setpoint
(h4). The reheat coil transfers energy to the airstream. A liquid solenoid valve effectively modulates
the reheat capacity. The outdoor condenser rejects surplus heat. The reheat circuit is first on and
last off, so reheat energy is available at full and part load conditions. Since both the dew point
setpoint and discharge temperature setpoint are fully adjustable, the desired supply air conditions
are maintained at all load conditions.

Consider Figure 6, p. 15. If the outdoor air dew point or zone RH is equal to or below the
dehumidification setpoint, the O AU will heat or cool the outdoor air to separate cooling or heating
setpoints. At t1 or t3, 100 percent outdoor air enters the OA U . The O A U filters, and cools or heats
the air as it is drawn through the evaporator and heating section. The air leaves the OAU at the
cooling or heating discharge setpoint (t2 or t4).

Establishing Capacity Requirements
Determining the OAU capacity requirements requires careful thought. Light Commercial
equipment is typically selected based on design sensible conditions. Since latent loads drive the
need for the OAU, base the selection on design latent conditions.
Application Considerations
Cooling & Dehumidification Selection Criteria
Evaporator Design Entering Conditions
Evaporator Design Leaving Conditions
OAU-PRC003A-EN17
For many climates the peak outdoor air enthalpy occurs at a time when the outdoor dry-bulb
temperature is not the highest. Refer to the ch apter on climatic design information in the A SHRAE
Handbook of Fundamentals. The cooling and dehumidification design condition data is provided
three ways:
1. Design dry-bulb temperature with mean coincident wet bulb temperature
2. Design wet-bulb temperature with mean coincident dry-bulb temperature
3. Design dew point temperature with mean coincident dry-bulb temperature
The design wet-bulb condition typically represents a significantly higher ou tdoor air enthalpy than
the design dry-bulb condition. Use the condition that represents the highest enthalpy as the
entering evaporator selection condition.
Due to the uncertainty of the local terminal unit’s latent capacity at part load, it is usually most
straightforward to size the OAU to handle the entire latent load on the system, both indoor and
outdoor. With this design approach, the terminal units may do some latent cooling
(dehumidification) during periods of higher sensible load. At these times, the space will run slightly
drier than the design RH limit. This is why it makes sense to select the OAU to limit the space RH
to a maximum allowable level for those conditions when the terminal units are pro viding no space
latent cooling, such as 60 percent RH. Using lower humidity limits may result in an unnecessary
increase in system operating energy use.
Use Table 1, p. 18, Table 2, p. 18, and Table 3, p. 19 to identify the appropriate supply air dew point
for specific design conditions. Fo r a more detailed discussion on determining the selection criteria
of a OA U, refer to SYS-APG00 1-EN (Application Guide: Designing Dedicated Outdoor -Air Systems)
or SYS-APM004-EN (Applications Engineering Manual: Dehumidific ati on in HVAC Systems).

Reheat
Table 1.Supply air dew point temperature, 75°F at 60 percent RH space limit
The Trane OAU utilizes recovered energy from the cooling process to reheat the air leaving the
evaporator coil as required to meet the discharge air setpoint. The reheat refrigeration circuit is
adequate to deliver enough reheat to supply neutral-temperature air (e.g., 75°F dry-bulb) under
most operating conditions. On very low load days, the reheat circuit may not contain enough
energy to meet the desired reheat setpoint.

Heating
The OA U has electric, heat pump, or g as heat option s. The elec tric he at option is available in 0°F–
80°F temperature rise offerings with SCR modulation. This means that the lowest temperature rise
provided depends only on heater size and unit airflow . Cal cul at e the tem perature rise to confirm
that it provides acceptable control. The electric heat will modulate to maintain heating setpoint.
When using hot water heat, the unit controller will modulate a field-provided coil control valve.
Provide an ethylene glycol and water mixture or other means of freeze protection for the hot water
coil if the OAU will be subject to sub-freezing temperatures.
Capacity Control
The capacity control system on the Horizon™ Outdoor Air Unit is flexible enough to accommodate
a variety of system applications. These applications include:
•treating outdoor air to supply a single space or multiple spaces or
•simultaneously meet building make-up air needs while controlling the temperature and relative
humidity of a single space.
Each of these applications requires careful consideration to achieve the desired results.
Discharge Air Control
For many multiple spac e, dedicated outdoor air systems, the O AU will continuously supply outdoor
air at a dry-bulb setpoint and a dew point that does not exceed its dew point setpoint. Th is control
approach is simple because it allows the OAU to function independent of local terminal unit
operation or actual space conditions. If the unit selection cri teria is determined using the method
suggested in“Establishing Capacity Requirements,” p. 17, the Outdoor Air Unit will limit the space
relative humidity to the target level.
OAU-PRC003A-EN19
Page 20
Application Considerations
Many dedicated outdoor air systems supply reheated air directly to terminal units or to spaces that
have terminal units performing local sens ible cooling. This results in the local terminal units recooling the previously re-heated outdoor air . Resetting the supply air dry-bulb temperature of the
Outdoor Air Unit offers the opportunity to minimize the amount of time re-cooling occurs. Refer to
“Cooling Setpoint,” p. 20 for more information.
Cooling Setpoint
Because the T rane O AU dehumidifies the outdoor air by cooling it, th is cool outdoor air can reduce
the sensible cooling load on the local terminal unit. At low space sensible loads, the cool outdoor
air may sub-cool the space, causing the local terminal unit to add heat (new energy heat).
Therefore, reset occupied Space Cooling Setpoint (SPCS—Space Control Sequ ence) or Evaporator
Cooling Setpoint (ECS—Outdoor Air Contro l Sequence) of the O A U to minimize space sensible recooling so the terminal unit with the lowest sensible load is almost at zero cooling capacity (within
the limit of the dew point setpoint). To take full advantage of space demand based dry-bulb reset,
you may need to size some of the local terminal units based on neutral outdoor air temperature.
This strategy will more effectively manage occupant comfort during seasonal changeover for twopipe terminal unit systems. Because the OAU is not connected to the chiller or boiler plant,
accomplish this by resetting the Outdoor Air Unit SPCS or ECS to keep the critical zone at zero
heating capacity when the boiler is off and zero cooling capacity when the chiller is off. A Trane
Integrated Comfort™ system can provide this control capability.
Unoccupied Space Humidity Control
The Horizon™ O AU pro vides conditioned outdoor air for the ventilation and/or make-up air needs
of a building during occupied hours. It can also limit building relative humidity during unoccup ied
hours. To do this, provide a return air path to the OAU and place a relative humidity sensor in the
space served by the OAU or in a common relief air path (like a return corridor) if the OAU serves
multiple spaces. The unit will cycle as required to limit the space humidity to the unoccupied
Dewpoint Setpoint (NSDS) setpoint. Reheat and return air damper options are required for this
operation. For dedicated outdoor air systems ducted to terminal units, these units must cycle with
the operation of the Horizon OA U. A Trane Integrated Comfort™ system can provide this control
capability.
Space Control
For single space applications, the Horizon OAU can control space temperature and limit space
relative humidity. To do this, size the airflow to meet whichever is the highest: the space loads and
ventilation and/or make-up air needs of the application. Install a temperature sensor in the space
to provide temperature control and reset the supply air temperature. If reset of the supply air dew
point is desired, install a space relative humidity sensor in the space to provide relative humidity
limit control.
Outdoor Airflow Balancing
Establish final unit airflow through a field air balancing procedure. Change the fan speed through
replacement or fan sheave adjustment (belt drive indoor fan motor) or VFD Setpoint via the UC600
controller (direct drive fan motor).
Air to Air Energy Recovery
Energy recovery can significantly reduce HVAC system first-cost and operating energy costs.
You can use recovered energy for two purposes:
1. to temper or reheat supply air for independent control of sensible and latent capacity, or
2. to precondition outdoor air as it enters the building for ventilation.
The Horizon™ OAU offers refrigerant heat recovery for reheating the supply air. To precondition
20 OAU-PRC003A-EN
Page 21
the outdoor air, use the optional total-energy wheel to recover energy from building exhaust.
Controlling the Total-Energy Wheel
One way to control an energy recovery device is to turn it on and off with the OAU system
exhaust fan. In this case, the total energy wheel enables when the unit is in occupied mode and
the exhaust fan is running. While this control method is certainly simple and effective in some
applications, it may not provide the expected energy saving benefit, particularly when cold air
(vs. neutral air) is supplied to the building.
Another more effective approach is to use the outdoor air dry-bulb to determine when to energize or de-energize the energy recovery device. See Figure 11, p. 21 for an example of this simpli-
fied control. In addition to being more effective from a control standpoint, it’s also a very simple
control method because the wheel is enabled when all of the following are true:
•unit is in occupied mode,
•exhaust fan is enabled,
•Unit Main Control Module (MCM) calls for unit to operate in dehumidification, cooling, or
heating modes, and
•outside air temperature is above the frost protection setpoint (default setpoint 12°F).
If using the O AU to deliver cold, dry conditioned air to th e building (ou tdoor air is cooled to a low
dew point but not reheated), use the cooling setpoint control strategy (see “Cooling Setpoint,”
p. 20).

Cross Leakage
All energy wheels have some cross leakage. Therefore, do not use energy wheels in applications
involving toxic or hazardous air streams. The percentage of cross leakage depends on the pressure
differentials across the wheel section. With Trane Horizon™ OAU energy wheels, the exhaust air
transfer ratios are typically low (less than 4 percent).
Condensate Drain Configuration
OAU units are selected based on dehumidification capability. As such, condensate can form at a
high rate. Therefore, the OAU drain pan and condensate line are siz ed and designed accordingly.
However, an often-o verlooked element of proper condensate drainage is proper P-T rap and drain
line sizing and installation. An incorrectly-designed and -installed P-Trap can restrict condensate
flow or cause water in the condensate drain pan to “spit” or “geyser” which may cause condensate
overflow. Carefully install and trap the drain pan to ensure adequate condensate removal under all
conditions.
An evaporator condensate drain connection is provided on each unit. For more inform ation, to the
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance for your specific product:
•OAU-SVX004*-EN (Installation, Operation, and Maintenance: Horizon™ Outdoor Air Unit - Water Sou r ce Heat Pump - Model: OABE, OADE, OAKE, OANE)
A condensate trap must be installed at the unit due to the drain connection being on the “negative
pressure” side of the fan. Install the P-Trap using the guidelines in Figure 12.
Pitch drain lines connected to P-Trap at least 1/2 inch for every 10feet of horizontal run to assure
proper condensate flow. Do not allow the horizontal run to sag causing a possible double-trap
condition which could result in condensate backup due to “air lock”.

Acoustical Considerations
Proper unit placement is critical to reducing transmitted sound levels from the OAU to the building.
Therefore, consider acoustic concerns during the design phase and place the unit accordingly. The
most economical means of avoiding an acoustical problem is to place the unit(s) away from
acoustically critical areas. If possible, do not locate units directly above areas such as: offices,
conference rooms, executive office areas, and classrooms. Instead, ideal locations to consider are:
over corridors, utility rooms, toilets, o r oth er areas where hi gh er so un d levels directly below the
unit(s) are acceptable.
Follow these basic guidelines for unit placement to minimize sound transmission through the
building structure.
1. Never cantilever the compressor side of the unit. A structural cross member or full perimeter
roof curb, supported by roof structural members, must support this side of the unit.
2. Locate the unit’s center of gravity close to or over column or main support beam.
3. If the roof structure is very light, replace roof joists by a structural shape in the critical areas
described above.
4. If several units are to be placed on one span, stagger them to reduce deflection over that span.
It is impossible to totally quantify the building structure effect on sound transmissio n because it
is dependent on how the roof and building members respond to the O AU’s sound and vibration.
However, following the guidelines listed above will help reduce sound transmissions.
Application Considerations
Clearance Requirements
Follow the recommended unit clearances to assure adequate serviceability, maximum capacity,
and peak operating efficiency . Reducing unit clearances may result in condenser coil starvation or
warm condenser air recirculation. If the recommended clearances are not possible on a par ticular
job, consider the following:
•Do the clearances available allow for major service work, such as changing compressors or
coils?
•Do the clearances available allow for proper outside air intake, exhaust air removal, and
condenser airflow?
•If screening around the unit is used, is there a possibility of air recirculation from the exhaust
to the outside air intake or from condenser exhaust to condenser intake.
Review any actual clearances that appear inadequate with your local Trane sales engineer.
When two or more units are placed side by side, increase the distance between the units to twice
the recommended single unit clearance. Stagger the units for these two reasons:
1 . T o reduce span deflection if more than one unit is placed on a single span. Reducing deflection
discourages sound transmission.
2. To assure proper exhaust ai r diffusion before contact with the adjacent unit’s outside air intake.
Duct Design
It is important to note that the rated capacities of the OAU can be met only if the unit is properly
installed. A well-designed duct system is essential to meet these capacities.
Satisfactory air distri bution throughout the system requires an unrestricted and uniform airflow
from the OAU discharge duct.
However, when job conditions dictate installation of elbows near the OAU outlet, using guide vanes
may reduce capacity loss and static pressure loss.

Selection Procedure
Horizon OAU WSHP Selection Procedure
The Horizon™ Outdoor Air Unit (OAU) is designed to efficiently dehumidify outdoor air. As such,
the selection of an OA U is somewhat more complex than a standard recirculation roof top. T o make
it easier, there is an online selection tool provided. Before launching the program, the following
information about the specific project will be required:
1. Entering Air Temperature (DB/WB)
a. Summer
b. Winter
2. Entering Water Temperature (EWT) Cooling
3. Fluid Flow
4. Fluid Type (Water, Propylene, or Ethylene)
5. Volume Glycol (if Propylene or Ethylene is used)
6. EAT—Heating
7.EWT—H ea ti ng
8. Condenser Material (copper inner tubes are recommended for fresh and cooling tower water
applications while cupro-nickel is recommended for ground and sea water applications)
9. CFM
a. Total CFM
b. Outdoor Air CFM
10. External Static Pressure
11. Altitude
12. Electrical Voltage/Phase/Hertz
13. Heat Type
After initial entry, the tool will search all possible options, and display those which may be
acceptable. If a certain tonnage is not available given the project specifics, there is an option to view
the reason for that unit’ s rejectio n. Of the units available, select the one that is most suited to the
project, based on CFM, motor speed, or leaving air conditions. Leaving air conditions off the coil
as well as unit leaving air temperature are displayed. For distributors, a price is displayed. The unit
selected will be saved as its current configuration. If circumstances c hange af ter the unit is saved,
the program will require a reconfiguration, at which time the price will be adjusted as well.

Mechanical Specifications
Horizon Outdoor Air Mechanical Specifications
General
The units shall be down disch arg e ai rflow (OAD, OAK, or OAN) or convertible (OAB) between
down/horizontal for both supply and return openings. Cooling performance shall be rated in
accordance with ETL testing procedures. All units shall be factory assembled, internally wired, ful ly
charged with R-410A, and 100 percent run tested to check cooling operation, fan and blower
rotation, and control sequence before leavin g the factory. Wiring internal to the unit shall be
colored and numbered for simplified identification. Un its shall be ETL listed and labeled, classified
in accordance to UL 1995/CAN/CSA No. 236-M40 for Central Cooling Air Conditioners. Canadian
units shall be CSA Certified.
Casing
Unit casing shall be constructed of zinc-coated, heavy gauge, galvanized steel. Exterior surfaces
shall be cleaned, phosphatized, and fini shed with a weather-resistant baked enamel finish. Unit’s
surface shall be tested 672 hours in a salt spray test in compliance with AS TM B1 17. Unit shall have
a 2-inch thick Antimicrobial Insulation with an R-value of 13. All insulation edges shall be either
captured or sealed. The unit’s base pan shall have no penetrations within the perimeter of the curb
other than the raised downflow supply/return op en in gs to pr ovide an added water integrity
precaution, if the condensate drain backs up. The top cover shall be one piece construction or,
where seams exist, it shall be double-hemmed and gasket-sealed. The ribbed top adds extra
strength and enhances water removal from unit top.
Drain Pan
The drain pan is a single-walled assembly made of Type 304 stainless steel. It is sloped in two
planes and is fully drainable. The coils are mounted abo ve the drain pan to allow easy inspection
and cleaning of the drain pan.
Refrigeration and Dehumidification Systems
Compressors
All units shall have direct-drive, hermetic, scroll type compressors with centrifugal type oil pumps.
Motor shall be suction gas-cooled and shall have a voltage utilization range of plus or minus
10 percent of unit nameplate voltage. Internal overloads shall be provided with the scroll
compressors. Each compressor has a crankcase heater to minimize the amount of liquid refrigerant
present in the oil sump during off cycles.
58 OAU-PRC003A-EN
Page 59
Mechanical Specifications
Evaporator Coils
Refer to Figure 45. Internally finned copper tubes mechanically bonded to a configured aluminum
plate fin shall be standard. Coils shall be leak tested at the factory to ensure the pressure integrity.
The evaporator coil and condenser coil shall be leak tested to 500 psig and pressure tested to
500 psig. Evaporator coil will have four interlaced rows for superior sensible and latent cooling.
Figure 45. Evaporator and reheat coil
Condenser—Water Cooled (Copper/Steel or 90/10 CuNi Condenser Tubes)
The condenser coils utilize a coaxial “tube in tube” design. Water flows through the inner tube
while refrigerant flows in the annulus between the inner and outer tubes. The coils have a
convoluted multi-lead inner tube which has increased heat transfer surface area per unit length yet
still permits full flow of both water and refrigerant around its entire periphery for improved
performance. Turbulence imparted by the convolutions to both the water and refrigerant flows
further enhances the thermal performance, while inhibiting the accumulation of deposits on the
surfaces.
Digital Scroll Compressors
Units with digital scroll type compressors shall have direct-drive, hermetic compressors with
centrifugal type oil pumps. Motor shall be suction gas-cooled and shall have a voltage utilization
range of plus or minus 10 percent of unit nameplate voltage. Internal overloads shall be provided
with the scroll compressors. Crankcase heaters shall be included. Compressor shall be able to fully
modulate from 20 percent to 100 percent.
OAU-PRC003A-EN59

Mechanical Specifications
Total Energy Wheel (Composite)
The rotating wheel heat exchanger is composed of a rotating cylinder in an insulated cassette frame
complete with seals, drive motor, and drive belt. The total-energy recovery wheel is coated with
silica gel desiccant permanently bonded by a patented and proprietary process without the use of
binders or adhesives, which may degrade desiccant performance. The substrate is a lightweight
polymer and will not degrade nor require additional coatings for application in mari ne or coastal
environments. Coated segments are washable with detergent or alkaline coil cleaner and water.
Desiccant will not dissolve nor deliquesce in the presence of water or high humidity . As the wheel
rotates between the ventilation and exhaust air streams it picks up sensible and latent heat energy
and releases it into the colder air stream. The driving force behind the exchange is the difference
in temperatures between the opposing air streams which is also called the thermal gradient.
Bypass dampers will be provided on both the outside and exhaust air paths.
Total Energy Wheel (Aluminum)
The rotor media shall be lightweight and be made of aluminum. The rotor media shall be coated
to prohibit corrosion; etched or oxidized surfaces are not acceptable. All surfaces must be coated
with a non-migrating adsorbent layer of desiccant prior to being formed into the honeycomb media
structure to insure that all surfaces are coated and that adequate latent capacity is provided. The
desiccant must be designed for the adsorption of water vapor . The media shall be cleanable with
low temperature steam, hot water or light detergent without degrading the latent recovery . Bypass
dampers will be provided on both the outside and exhaust air paths.

Supply and Exhaust Fan and Motors (OAD, OAK, and OAN)
Fan motor shall be direct drive type with factory installed V ariable Frequency Drive. All motors shall
be thermally protected. All indoor fan motors meet the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT).
Refer to Figure 47.
Figure 47.Indoor fan and motor
Supply and Exhaust Fan and Motors (OAB)
Fan shall be a high efficiency bac kward curved impeller . The motor shall be an electronic commuted
motor (ECM) with integrated power electronics.
Dampers— Low Leak
The outside air damper has a unit-controlled actuator with parallel-blades. The blade const ruction
is a 14-gage g alvan ized steel, roll-formed airfoil-type.
Electrical and Controls
Controls
Unit is completely factory-wired with necessary controls and contactor pressure lugs for power
wiring. Units will provide an external location for mounting fused disconnect device. Microprocessor controls are provided for all 24-volt con trol funct ion s. Th e resident con tro l algorithms
will make all heating, cooling and/or ventilating decisions in response to electronic signals from
sensors measuring outdoor temperature and humidity. The control algorithm maintains accurate
temperature control, minimizes drift from set point, and provides better building comfort. A
centralized micro-processor (RTRM) will provide anti-short cycle timing for a higher level of
machine protection. T erminals are pro vided for a field installed dry contact or switc h closure to put
the unit in the Occupied or Unoccupied modes.
