The UniTrane® Fan-Coil

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is agrowing concern for buildingowners and operators. PoorIAQ may expose buildingtenants to airborne viruses,toxins, and pollutants thatthreaten their health. Tranerecognizes the importance ofminimizing such risks. That’swhy our fan-coil units complyfully with ASHRAE Standard62-1989. It’s also why theUniTrane design makes manyIAQ-related featuresstandard...Smart features likeeasy filter removal, slopeddrain pans, cleanable interiorsurfaces, and fresh air dampersthat can help keep your tenantscomfortable and healthy – andlet you breathe a little easier.

Easy-to-change filtersOne element of good indoor airquality is filtered room air. Askany building manager, hard-to-change filters simply won’t bereplaced as often as necessary.The filter system in UniTrane

fan-coils combines a snug-fitting filter with ready access sothat changeouts are fast andeasy.

Drain pans that reallydrainRemoving moisture from drainpans is another simple-yet-critical element of good IAQ.Without adequate drainage,water will accumulate and maybecome contaminated with thespores inevitable in mostindoor environments.To eliminatestandingwater andcombatmicrobialgrowth, thedrain pan ineach UniTrane fan-coil isconstructed of a rugged, non-corrosive material and designedwith a positive slope thatpromotes fast, completecondensate removal.

Easy access forcleanabilityAccessibility and cleanability gohand-in-hand. Together, theycontribute to good IAQ byeliminating opportunities fordirt accumulation and microbialgrowth. With that in mind, wedesigned the UniTrane fan-coilunit with easy access to the coiland fan and removable drain

pans. What about the cabinet’sinterior surfaces? No problem.They’re lined with animpermeable, closed-cellinsulation that’s fullycleanable – and eliminates therisk of fiberglass entering theairstream.

Ventilation to ensureclean airProper ventilation is key togood indoor air quality, too.That’s why we offer several

fresh-air damper optionswith UniTrane fan-coils,including an “auto-economizer.” Whenconditions are right, thedamper does more

than ventilate the room...itintroduces enough fresh airfor comfort cooling and, inturn, saves energy andoperating expense.

IAQ is a complex issue, butthe UniTrane fan-coil’s smartdesign makes it manageable.Who would’ve known that justa fan and a coil couldcontribute so much to ahealthy indoor environment?The Trane Company.

UniTrane® fan-coils are the smart choiceWhether you’re building a new facility orrenovating an existing one, a UniTrane fan-coilsystem can satisfy the distinct interests ofeveryone on your design team, fromaesthetics to life-cycle costs, from tenantcomfort to serviceability. Here’s how…

Application flexibility• Horizontal and vertical models for cabinet,

concealed, and recessed applications

• Decorator colors to complement anybuilding interior

• Chilled-water, hot-water, steam, andelectric heating options

• Standalone andautomated operation

Easy installation• Factory-installed

piping packages in awide variety ofoptions – includingcontrol valves, unions,strainers, and end valves –and an auxiliary drain pan tocollect condensate, making fieldinsulation unnecessary

• Single-point power connectionwith factory-installedtransformer to reduce jobsite labor

• Factory-installed/tested,unit-mounted controls tominimize field setup andassure reliability

Simple operation,intelligent control• Automatic changeover between

cooling and heatingmodes

• Free-coolingeconomizers andmodulating valvesto maximizesystem efficiency

Serviceable design• Easy filter removal to encourage

regular replacement

• Removable drain pans that wipeclean with a damp cloth

• Quick-disconnect fan motors for easy removal and service

detail. Factory commissioningmeans less field labor, lowerstart-up costs, fasterinstallation, trouble-free start-up, and accurate operationfrom day one. It also meansless waiting before occupancy.

CentralcontrolICS makesmanagingyour facility alot easier.Direct digitalcontrollers(DDC) on thefan-coils and aTracer building automationsystem give you system-widemonitoring, control, anddiagnostic capabilities from asingle location. Use the PCworkstation’s easy-to-learninterface to adjust setpoints,open or close valves anddampers, and turn individualunits on or off. Add a modem tooversee the system’s operationfrom a remote location or toautomatically notify yourservice company of alarms.

Optimized efficiency,system-wideThe comfort system representsa large part of a building’senergy diet. Automated control

strategies like time-of-dayscheduling, demand limiting,equipment sequencing, andcoordinated control of HVACequipment and lighting let youcontrol energy use withoutcompromising comfort.

ComprehensiveinformationEverything you need toknow about yourTracer/UniTrane system isas close as your PC.Operating data from allsystem components isreadily available forevaluation. Reports

document useful informationabout system performance, airquality, energy consumption,and equipment operatingtrends. In-depth diagnosticscombined with preprogrammedreminders and instructionssimplify preventivemaintenance andtroubleshooting, ultimatelyreducing equipment downtime.

Commissioning, control,efficiency, and information...itsimply all adds up to one...UniTrane units with ICS. Onesmart system from onesupplier...not just one smartdesign...but one smart choice.Let Trane be the one for you!

Underlying every UniTrane unitwith an Integrated ComfortTM

system (ICS)is Trane’sunrivaledknowledge ofHVACsystems andour uniqueapplication of thatknowledge.We not onlydesign the HVAC equipment,we engineer the unitcontrollers, buildingautomation system, andapplication software, too. Theresult? Thoughtful systemoptimization. Comfort that’sreliable and economical. Asystem that’s sophisticated, yetsimple to operate… one that’seasy to own because onesupplier manufactures, installs,warrants, and services everycomponent. Just one. Trane.

FactorycommissioningNobody likes surprises on thejobsite. That’s why factorycommissioning is key to ICS.Our building automationspecialists design thecommunication link, operatethe equipment once it’sinstalled, then verify the entiresystem’s performance – in

UniTrane® Fan-Coils plus Tracer® Building Automation Controls equal one smart system

The UniTrane® fan-coil unitFan-coil units aren’t new. ButTrane took this simpledesign, just a fan and a coil,and made it better. UniTranefan-coil units are roomconditioners that operatequietly, provide total comfortcontrol, and can help youlower costs while keepingyour tenants happy.

Cuts start-up costsUnit installation is fast andeasy. Trane factory-installscomplete piping packagesand advanced, low-voltagecontrols. This significantlyreduces field labor,eliminates costly electricalrequirements, and assures atrouble-free system start-up.

Lowers operatingcostsUniTrane fan-coil controls makeoperation easy and cost-effective. The controls at eachunit determine whether heatingor cooling is needed, thenswitch to the right operatingmode-automatically. Adding aTracer® building-level controllertransforms the easy-to-linkUniTrane controls into a TraneIntegrated ComfortTM system(ICS). The ICS approach lets youcontrol all of your fan-coil unitsfrom a single location andprovides detailed reports tohelp you manage operatingcosts.

Keeps tenants happyGood indoor air quality (IAQ) isas vital to occupant comfort asan HVAC system that worksproperly. Poor IAQ can reduceproductivity, increaseabsenteeism...even causeserious illness. As if thatweren’t enough, improperlycontrolling the relativehumidity inside your buildingincreases the likelihood of moldand fungal growth, which inturn can cause musty odorsand costly damage tofurnishings and the buildingstructure.

The IAQ-conscious design ofUniTrane fan-coils helpscontrol contaminants at theirsource. The result? Healthy,comfortable rooms...satisfiedtenants...content owners andoperators.
