Dubai, 19 February, 2012 - In a building's lifecycle, temporary cooling needs can arise due to a planned event or emergency. For facility managers, the inability to fulfill their building's required cooling capacity, however short in time, can come at a high price.

With its new Rental Services, available now in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Trane, a leading global provider of indoor comfort systems and solutions and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, helps facilities with a wide range of temporary cooling needs to achieve continuous optimal operating performance.

Trane Rental Services provide supplemental and back-up solutions that help meet non-permanent cooling requirements smoothly and effectively. Examples include:

Emergencies: In case of a natural disaster or unexpected equipment failure, the rental units generate the right cooling capacity, allowing building managers the opportunity to assess the best long-term solution.

Increased capacity: Trane Rental Services provide supplemental cooling in case a facility's cooling load temporarily exceeds the capacity of existing systems.

Planned outages: During chiller plant upgrades, renovations, retrofits or replacements, Trane rental solutions provide continuous cooling. This avoids the typical rush to get the primary system back on line.

Special events and on-site services: Trane provides temporary chillers and on-site services for events such as exhibitions, ice skating rinks and outdoor festivals.

"Not meeting their building's cooling needs, even partially, can generate substantial costs and stress for building managers," said Jose Laloggia, service and parts leader for the Trane commercial business in Europe, Middle East, India and Africa. "Trane Rental Services offer an immediate solution, short or long term, that is tailored to the customer's specific requirements."

"Our rental chillers have been re-engineered for demanding rental applications and are specifically selected for their fast installation and easy operation. Moreover, Trane rental chillers are thoroughly inspected after each application to ensure that they are ready when you need them," said Hardeep Singh, service, parts and customer care leader for Trane Middle East & Africa.

Trane Rental Services can be applied in a wide variety of facilities, including healthcare, industrial, lodging, retail and educational buildings.  In addition to the UAE, the service is also available throughout Europe and India.

Trane Rental Services complement the Trane service offer that enables customers to improve reliability, efficiency and cost of ownership. This includes the Trane Select™ and Trane Controls predictive and preventive maintenance programs and the Trane Care™ customized service solutions for system upgrade and optimization.
