Description:
Trane helical rotary chillers provide chilled water for both comfort and industrial cooling systems. These air-cooled chillers can reduce your total cost of ownership because they are engineered for lower life cycle costs and reliability through design simplicity.
Our Helirotor™ compressor technology is direct drive, low speed (3600 rpm), with only two rotating parts, for high reliability and efficiency. Optimized compressor parts profiles are designed specifically for chilled water applications to optimize full- and part-load efficiency. Our Adaptive Control™ Microprocessor provides greater reliability through a proactive control strategy, safety functions with simple diagnostics and easy interface with Trane Tracer® building automation/energy management using a single twisted pair of wires. Series R™ chillers are the right choice for tight temperature control in virtually any application.

Are any hazardous chemicals created, used, or released during the manufacture of the product which must be reported under the State Right to Know Act (SARA), Section 313 via the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)? (The absence of hazardous chemicals or air pollutants in manufacture is laudable. However the presence of such hazards is not a simple indicator of environmental impact. Which listed hazards are present, how they are handled, the magnitude of emissions, and the extent and effectiveness of efforts to minimize creation, use, and releases of such hazards, are all important in assessing environmental responsibility. While it can be problematic to try to compare the performance of different companies, a record of TRI releases by company found on the EPA website allows review of a single company over time. http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/tris/tris_query.html) |
