RTAC XE Delivers Superior Energy Efficiency, Reliability To Industrial, Hotel and Office Buildings, Hospitals and Clean Rooms

Dubai, UAE, 23 May, 2010 - As energy efficiency remains a top priority for building owners and facility managers, Trane is adding the RTAC XE (EXtra Efficiency) to its RTAC range of air-cooled helical-rotary chilled water systems. The RTAC XE is particularly suitable for applications requiring reliability and safety. This includes industrial, hotel and office buildings, hospitals and clean rooms.

The new RTAC XE 430-1520 kW chilled water system is Eurovent Class A certified with an average Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 3.15.

Energy savings are achieved with the patented falling film evaporator technology, minimizing the expense of operating a chilled water system which can amount to over 90 percent of the total lifetime cost of a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system.

The RTAC XE is also equipped with a compressor with variable unloading, which is able to closely match a building's cooling load or an industrial process load.

The RTAC XE's helical-rotary compressor has few moving parts to maximize operational reliability. To ensure quick and seamless installation, RTAC XE units are tested, and refrigerant and oil charged in the factory. The compact system requires minimal clearance space around the unit to ensure it fits into small spaces.

"Maximum energy efficiency and reliability are equally important factors in minimizing the lifetime costs of operating an HVAC system," said Pierre Cazal, vice president product management and equipment solutions for Trane Europe, Middle East, India and Africa. "The RTAC XE delivers both. With the RTAC XE, customers get safety and robustness as well as built-in energy efficient technology."
