International. Trane recently launched its new family of air-cooled Trane Synthesis chillers, designed to lessen environmental impact with the use of state-of-the-art refrigerants with low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and high operational efficiency.
"With the availability of this product portfolio, Ingersoll Rand is acting on our commitment to significantly increase energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of our operations and product line by 2020," said Dave Regnery, HVAC business president for North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa for Ingersoll Rand. "Through the new expanded Product Portfolio of Sintesis Chillers, Trane offers building and business owners more options related to how and when to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions."
Sintesis chillers offer customers the option to use the latest generation refrigerants R-134a or DuPont Opteon XP10 (R-513A) with low GWP to meet their sustainability goals.
Some of the characteristics of the equipment is that they use up to 40% less refrigerant than traditional tubes and fins, using heat exchanger technology due to the microchannel of the coil condenser, low load (CHIL) and evaporator design.
It reduces noise and improves acoustics through factory-installed acoustic treatments for consistent and quiet operation to meet the specific needs of the application.
The line is now available in Europe, the Middle East, North America and Latin America.
