(Warranty not applicableon duct furnaces or SeparatedCombustion units.)Quiet OperationTrane unit heaters incorporate anexceptionally balanced fan blade toassure quiet ExchangersAll Trane heat exchangers are available inthree types of steel: Aluminized Steel (Standard) 409 Grade Stainless Steel (Optional)(30-400 MBh units) 321 Grade Stainless Steel (Optional)(100-400 MBh units)24V SystemAll units are equipped with a 24 Vcontrolsystem which is powered by a 24 Vtransformer as standard Time DelayThe fan time delay is mounted at thefactory as standard equipment (optionalon duct furnaces).

3 This feature eliminatesan initial blast of cold air by allowing theunit to fire for a short period of timebefore actuating the fan motor. After thethermostat is satisfied (with burners off),the fan continues to operate forapproximately one minute, removingresidual heat from heat sizes 30,000 through 400,000 Btuinput are equipped with a provendesign pressed steel burner having aunique burner shade protectivedevice to prevent scale or foreignmatter from plugging the burner Saving Intermittent Pilot ControlThe pilot burner is ignited only duringeach cycle of operation, therebyconserving energy during the off OperationAll units are available for operation oneither natural or LP gas from Access For MaintenanceAll Trane unit heaters are so designedthat the burner access panel is removedwith just two screws.

These units can beinstalled where dusty, dirty, or mildlycorrosive conditions exist or where highhumidity or slightly negative applications are industrial workareas with wood or textile dust, non-explosive contaminated environments,non-chlorine process areas, automotiveand truck garages and Fan Unit HeatersCentrifugal fan unit heaters are ideal forcommercial and industrial applicationswhere a low noise level is desired.

7 Tranecentrifugal fan unit heaters whichoperate at .2-inches are fan gas-fired unit heatersshould be selected for applicationswhere ductwork or discharge nozzles areto be Fan Unit HeatersThe Trane gas-fired unit heater is acomplete heat generating anddistributing plant, equipped withautomatic safety controls, all packaged ina modern, streamlined, space saving,attractive casing for mounting near theceiling. Propeller units are basically zerostatic pressure appliances. At no timeshould ductwork be used with designs are certified by AGA andCGA as conforming with standards forsafe and efficient units achieve higher seasonalefficiencies by using outside air forcombustion, overcomes slight negativepressures near exhaust fans or paintbooths and isolates burner from dust,humidity and chemicals.

8 The combustionprocess is separate from theenvironment where the unit is power venting system draws acontrolled quantity of combustion air from outside the building. The samesystem exhausts flue Products to theoutside. The burners, pilot and fluesystem are enclosed within the unit, thusthe whole combustion process is literallyunaffected by the atmosphere where theheater is andBenefitsTubular Heat ExchangerPropeller Fan Unit HeatersThe Trane Company has added a newunit heater to enhance its broad line ofheating Products . The Trane tubular heatexchanger is a very durable unit heaterthat provides an alternative to thetraditional clam shell style. These arepropeller style units that combine thelatest tubular heat exchanger style withinshot burner technology to create a veryefficient operating FurnacesA duct furnace is normally installed in thedistribution duct of an air conditioningsystem to supply warm air for definition applies only to anappliance which depends for aircirculation on a blower not furnished aspart of the and experience gained fromthousands of installations over manyyears have gone into the design of theTrane gas-fired duct furnace.

The objectivewas to produce an appliance that wouldbe low in first cost and installation cost,dependable in performance andendowed with long life under normaloperating FURNACES ARE APPROVED FORBLOW-THRU APPLICATIONS CombustionDuct FurnaceThe Trane separated combustion ductfurnace is designed to operate efficientlyand reliably, even in environments thatare dusty, dirty or mildly corrosive, orwhere high humidity or slightly negativepressure is Blower AssembliesTrane horizontal blower assemblies havebeen specially designed for air handlingsystems of high static pressure incombination with Trane duct are matched against the properfurnace size for greatest efficiency include:Industrial work areas with wood ortextile dustNon-explosive contaminatedenvironmentsNon-chlorine process areasAutomotive and truck garagesGreenhousesUH-PRC002-EN8 ApplicationConsiderationsnatural gas is not available, Trane unitsmay be ordered directly from the factoryfor use on LP (propane) heat content varies by fuel type andlocation.

10 The standard gross heatingvalue for natural gas is 1,000 Btu percubic foot, and for propane, 2,500 Btuper cubic foot. Significant variationsselections. To account for variations inthe gross Heating value of the fuel, adjustthe total heat input required and selectthe unit on the basis of the adjusted loadusing the following formula:Adjusted load = Calculated load xgross heat value (Btu/cu ft)Actual gross heat value (Btu/cu ft)Low Temperature RiseTrane recommends against the setup ofa unit which will result in a temperaturerise of less than 30 F. With such lowtemperature rises, the flue gases passingthrough the heat exchanger are cooledto condensate before reaching the flueoutlet. This condensate is corrosive andwill result in shortened heat DensityCatalog performance data is based onelevations up to 2,000 feet above sealevel.
