Next generation air handler from Trane

™

Trane Performance Climate
Changer™ Air Handler

•   Two-inch, R-13 foam-injected panels with 

mid-span, internal thermal breaks and 

standard thermal break access doors. The 

no-through-metal design delivers thermal 

performance that helps ensure condensation 

will not form on the casing exterior, even with 

55°F supply air temperature and unit external 

conditions of 81°F dry bulb and 73°F wet 

bulb.

•   Filter technology that exceeds LEED 

requirements and reduces pressure drops  

up to 50 percent versus previous designs. 

Trane has a history of combining customer needs, 

engineering expertise, advanced technology and 

cutting-edge innovation to provide superior 

products that deliver exceptional performance. 

The next generation of Trane air handlers 

continues this tradition.

Superior performance

The Performance air handler has the tightest 

casing in the commercial ARI market, meeting an 

ASHRAE 111 Class 6 leakage level. This leakage 

rate is better than most custom designs. Superior 

performance features include: 

•   Low-leak casing design that achieves less than 

1.0 percent leakage rate and can withstand 

+/- 8 inches w.g. static pressure, with no more 

than 0.0042 inch deflection.

Energy ecient

Trane has designed even the most basic  

features to encourage energy conservation, 

allowing the system to surpass minimum  

ASHRAE Standard 90.1 requirements. 

The Performance air handler delivers:

  •  Superior performance 

  •  Industry-leading energy efficiency 

  •  System optimization 

  •  Highest quality 

  •  Lowest installed cost

Energy ecient components include: 

System optimization

•   Positional service lights with light emitting 

diode (LED) fixtures, which last up to ten 

times longer than fluorescent bulbs and one 

hundred times longer than incandescent bulbs, 

while using only 2–10 watts of electricity.

•   Traq™ dampers, an AMCA 611-certified 

airflow monitoring solution with standard 

and low-flow options, which allow direct 

measurement and control of outdoor and 

return airflow. The low-flow Traq damper is 

a key part of a demand control ventilation 

strategy to help drive down energy costs.

•   High-eciency coil fins deliver superior  

heat-transfer eciency while allowing face 

velocities in excess of 625 fpm without 

moisture carryover.

•   Discharge plenums and plenum fan sections, 

which are available with variable size, type and 

location of openings, to reduce static pressure 

loss and lower energy consumption.

The Trane EarthWise™ design philosophy 

incorporates high-eciency air handlers and 

water chillers with low-flow rates and low 

temperatures on both the waterside and airside. 

Benefits include:

•  Reduced emissions 

•  Lower first cost 

•  Lower operating cost 

•  Improved acoustical performance 

•  Smaller equipment and components 

•  Better comfort with lower space humidity

Low-temperature, low-flow systems can be 

challenging, but the Performance air handler is 

engineered to capitalize on the benefits of an 

EarthWise system: 

•   Low-leak casing design incorporates foam-

injected and mid-span internal thermal break 

panels and standard thermal break access  

doors to minimize condensation from low-

leaving air temperatures.

The Trane EarthWise™

design philosophy

incorporates high

efficiency air handlers

and water chillers with

low flow rates and low

temperatures

on both the waterside

and airside.
