Sensible Assisted Membrane

Sensible Assisted Membrane

The Trane® Sensible Assisted Membrane (SAM) is an efficient design for utilizing membrane exchangers, especially for larger airflows, and reduces or removes the leakage potential from the building exhaust air path. It utilizes a combination of sensible plate exchangers with enthalpy membrane cores.

Trane's patented SAM is available for air handling units for use in mixed air units and dedicated outdoor air systems.
