New Trane® Autonomous Control Powered by
BrainBox AI® Propels Building Performance and Decarbonization Forward with Artificial Intelligence
Trane® In Server Row Solutions Expand Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling Options for Mission Critical IT and Data Center Applications
The newest Trane releases include:
- Trane Autonomous Control Automatically Optimizes Building Performance
- Trane In Server Row Solutions Provide Flexible Temperature Control and Configurations for Data Centers and Computer Rooms
- Improved Comfort and Temperature Control with the New Precedent 10:1 Modulating Gas Heat Option
Trane Autonomous Control Automatically Optimizes Building Performance
Trane Autonomous Control uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automatically identify and perform system optimization actions 24 hours a day, seven days a week. An enhancement to existing Trane Tracer® SC+ systems, it is self-motivated, constantly observing, correcting, and improving. Available as a secure, cloud-based service offering that requires no additional hardware, Trane Autonomous Control is a highly scalable artificial intelligence tool that can support multiple buildings with a single solution.
It augments current control systems, enabling users to:
- Capture and synthesize a wealth of real-time and predictive data, including occupancy levels, weather patterns, and system performance information, to optimize efficiency and carbon reduction without sacrificing comfort.
- Improve system performance and reduce operating and maintenance costs without investing in additional equipment or overburdening employees.
- Support sustainability goals by reducing energy use and minimizing carbon emissions.
Trane In Server Row Solutions Provide Flexible Temperature Control and Configurations for Data Centers and Computer Rooms
Trane In Server Row Solutions, a new offering from Trane, cool high-density server racks in data centers and computer rooms to manage hot spots in a targeted way. Available in two configurations, including a direct expansion (DX) computer room air conditioner (CRAC) and a chilled water (CW) computer room air handler (CRAH) supporting open-, hot-, and cold-aisle applications.
- Open aisle – In an open aisle configuration, the units draw hot air from the external environment or hot aisle, remove the heat, and supply cooled air to the front of the IT equipment in the cold aisle.
- Hot aisle – Hot aisle containment captures hot exhaust air from IT equipment and prevents it from mixing with cool air. In this scenario, the In Server Row Units draw the contained hot air from the hot aisle, remove the heat, and supply the cooled air into the external cold aisle.
- Cold aisle – In this configuration, the units draw hot air from the external environment, remove the heat, and supply cooled air back into the cold aisle, where it is contained to prevent it from mixing with hot air.
The energy-efficient solutions help protect data center and computer room equipment from overheating by precisely directing the air and adjusting temperature levels where and when needed, thus maximizing production uptime. Additional features include:
- Three width and two depth options to fit a variety of footprints on the floor and accommodate tight spaces without a raised floor.
- Variable speed fans that minimize energy consumption.
- Water-side economizer and indirect dynamic cooling to maximize potential savings.
- Expansive reach to cool up to six server cabinets per unit.
- Front- and rear-unit access for easy installation and maintenance.
- Compatibility with racks produced by any manufacturer.
Improved Comfort and Temperature Control with the New Precedent® 10:1 Modulating Gas Heat Option
Responding to demand, Trane has added a new 10:1 Modulating Gas Heat option to its entire Precedent line of natural gas packs and dual fuel rooftop units. Featuring a high 10:1 modulation range, the new gas heat option automatically modulates the unit’s gas valve and combustion motor to help improve comfort and stabilize temperature control. It is compatible with Zoned Rooftop Systems to support effective supply air tempering and warm-up sequences.
Ideal for office buildings, retail, restaurants, schools, government, and other buildings that place a priority on occupant comfort, the unit offers:
- Reduced on/off cycling for greater consistency in temperature.
- Continuous heating output with low and high heat.
- Independent control of supply airflow and discharge temperature when coupled with varied speed fan control.
- An optional propane (LP) conversion kit with a 6:1 modulation range.
