Architectural Hydronic Wall Fin - Trane Heating & Air ...

1 ArchitecturalHydronic Wall FinFIN-PRC004-ENOctober 2001 2001 American Standard Inc. All rights Complete Line of Wall FinTrane Architectural wall fin is ideal forheating modern commercial,institutional or industrial styling and wide applicationflexibility allow wall fin cabinet designsto be used for virtually any for Hydronic or steam Heating , Trane wall fin can also be used incombination with convectors for smallerareas, allowing for the use of one sourcewhen designing a radiation heatingsystem. (See FIN-DS-2 for convectorapplications.)An effective Heating system for any office.

2 Attractive styling that blends with anyarchitectural Wall Fin Simply the BestWall fin effectively meets the heatingneeds of long, open areas. It counterscold air downdrafts common toexpansive glass areas used in many oftoday s most prestigious buildings. Provides continuous heat along roomperimeter. Allows removal of any unit panel forservice accessibility. The front panel never touches the wall only Trane s exclusive mountingstrip. The front panel can be raised orremoved without disturbing the unit ordamaging wallpaper, paint or theplaster seal. Operates quietly because there are nomoving parts.

3 Controls with the damper or valveindividually. Blends well with any decor. Works effectively with cooling-onlyVAV and heat recovery systems. Includes 14 or 16-gauge front panels. Unit vent draft barrier enclosures. Pipe enclosures for use with ForceFloand Fan Coil FinI=B=R Certified Ratings for Trane WallFinThe I=B=R symbol is the registeredtrademark of the Hydronics Institutewhich tests and rates in strict accordancewith published standard wall finelements and elements with wall fin Heating units must conformto appropriate test standards to havecertified I=B=R Hydronics?Besides the reliability of equipmentratings, and the well establishedreliability of Hydronic accessories, thereare many good reasons why hydronicsystems have long been recognized asthe standard method for providingindoor Heating , whether steam or hotwater, provides positive, controlledcirculation of the Heating are basically self-balancing, andin larger, more complicated heatingsystems, balancing is positivelycontrolled by familiar valves life of some Hydronic equipmentmay be measured in decades; someexisting boilers are more than fifty yearsold.

The effect of water velocity on thecapacity rating is appreciable (see ChartS-1) and should be taken into accountwhen selecting wall fin.

10 Following areexample selections for hot Water SystemsExample 1 Assume a two-pipe system is being usedwith 180 F average water temperature,20 F temperature drop and 65 F enteringair temperature. Assume a calculatedheat loss of 20,000 Btu, for which onerow of 1 1/4 steel element in a Type 12 Senclosure is Chart S-1, reading from 20,000 Btu(under 20 F temperature drop) across toa 1 1/4 steel element and down, indicatesa water velocity of approximately .45 ft/sec. The water velocity correction factorcorresponding to .45 ft/sec is .920. Theradiation is selected so that it woulddeliver20,000 Btu (calculated heat loss) (velocity correction factor)or 21,739 Btu if the water velocity were 3ft/sec.
