  1. Higher Standards

    Horizon DOAS supplies up to 100% outdoor air to meet ventilation code requirements. It maintains proper supply air dewpoint at both full and part load conditions, eliminating excess moisture. These units are AHRI 920 compliant, achieving optimal efficiency in moisture removal.

  2. Energy Efficient

    By preconditioning air and reducing the load on traditional HVAC comfort systems, Horizon DOAS units boost energy efficiency. Built with a double wall insultation and an insulated drip pan, Horizon DOAS ensures efficient and quieter operation.

  3. Precision Performance

    With a supply air dewpoint of ≥ 43°F at full and part load, Horizon exceeds traditional standards for occupant comfort. Horizon DOAS units are engineered for rigorous performance specifications, providing precise year-round dehumidification control access across the enthalpy map. Count on Horizon for consistent and reliable performance, regardless of the season.

FAQs

Your DOAS questions, answered.

Trane dedicated outdoor air systems are designed to handle the ventilation needs of a building separately from its heating and cooling functions.

Dedicated outdoor air systems cool and dehumidify 100% of outdoor air before directing it to occupied building zones, helping to meet ventilation standards, decrease indoor humidity, and reduce the load on HVAC systems.

A dedicated outdoor air unit operates by taking in outside air and filtering the air to remove particles and contaminants. It will then pre-condition the air (heating or cooling). The air is then further conditioned to dehumidify and reach the required temperature and humidity levels for ventilation. The DOAS unit will then distribute the conditioned outside air through the building’s ventilation system, independent of the local HVAC equipment that manages the heating and cooling of the space. 

Local HVAC units are responsible for handling the specific cooling and heating needs of each zone. Lastly, DOAS will use the exhaust air from the building to precondition the incoming outdoor air before exhausting outside. By treating outdoor air separately from recirculated air, DOAS units ensure adequate ventilation airflow and maintains control over humidity levels.  

As a general guideline, size the dedicated outdoor air unit offset both the ventilation load and the space latent loads during peak outdoor-enthalpy condition.

DOAS units typically pair with traditional HVAC equipment that does heating and cooling. Terminal equipment like VRF, water sourced heat pumps, fan coils, blower coils, and sensible cooling terminal units also are appropriate.
