What It Is Your
central heating and cooling system consists of two main parts—an
outdoor unit and an indoor unit, or air handler. When matched with a
heat pump, it circulates both cool and hot air, depending on the season.
With properly sized Trane air handlers, your family has the right
amount of clean, comfortable air all year round. Plus, Trane air
handlers make a significant contribution to the overall efficiency of
your system. That’s because the more efficient your air handler is, the
less work your outdoor unit has to do to make your home comfortable.
How It Works The
Hyperion™ air handler is built unlike anything the market has ever
seen. It is constructed more like a refrigerator than a typical air
handler, with insulation between the walls of the innovative cabinet.
This insulation prevents condensation that may cause damage to the air
handler itself or your home. In addition to eliminating “sweating,” the
cabinet also eliminates the loose fibers from fiberglass insulation that
may enter the airstream with other air handlers. The exclusive
double-wall construction provides families with peace of mind and
cleaner, safer indoor air.
Matched
in capacity and efficiency rating with the heat pump, air handlers
circulate conditioned air throughout your home. An air handler contains
an inside coil and a blower fan, with the additional possibility of an
auxiliary electric strip heater. Trane air handlers are available with
single, multi or variable-speed motors. Variable-speed models are known
for soft starts, high humidity control features and 12 selectable levels
of airflow capacity, as well as the enhanced comfort mode, the
Comfort-R™ airflow system.
