Trane Engineers Newsletters are topical, informative articles that provide engineering professionals who design HVAC systems with reliable, objective, and technologically current information in a non-commercial format.
For 50 years, these newsletters have been published by Trane Applications Engineering group to aid engineers in the design and application of HVAC systems. Subjects range from acoustics to water piping to interpretation of ASHRAE standards. These newsletters have become a trusted technical resource, with a current circulation of more than 40,000.

Heating with Lower-Temperature Hot Water
Historically, many hot-water heating systems were designed for 180°F supply. Then, with the increased use of condensing boilers, many systems began to be designed for lower hot-water temperatures (e.g., 140°F) to increase boiler efficiency. Today, growing interest in decarbonization and electrification has increased the use of heat pumps or heat recovery for heating buildings; technologies that benefit from even lower hot-water temperatures. This EN examines how to select coils for these lower hot-water temperatures, in order to maximize the performance of these newer heating systems.
Trane Engineers Newsletter LIVE programs are technical, in-depth 60-minute programs covering the topics listed below. Many are available on-demand, free of charge for continuing education credit.
March: Applying VRF for a Complete Building Solution Part II
May: Decarbonization of HVAC Systems Part II
September: Air-to-Water Heat Pump Systems Design
November: Cooling and Heating with Energy Storage
The year 2022 marks the 50-year anniversary of Trane’s Engineers Newsletter (EN) publication. This year, in addition to our quarterly topical newsletter publications, we’re going to highlight past newsletter topics as they relate to current issues and showcase past and current authors.
