What It Is The coil, also known as an evaporator coil
or an indoor coil, is the unsung hero of any home heating or cooling
system. Its job, heat transfer, is one of the most important factors in
achieving heating and cooling efficiencies that keep your home
comfortable all year long.
How It Works An evaporator
coil is located indoors and is either installed with your furnace or as
part of your air handler. Inside the coil, the refrigerant evaporates as
it absorbs heat from the indoor air that passes over it. The coil
essentially serves as a “heat exchanger,” working with your heating
system in the winter and your cooling system in the summer. The Difference of a Trane Comfort™ Coil Each Trane All Aluminum Comfort™ Coil is designed to provide your family with outstanding comfort all year
round.At Trane, we strive to bring you the highest quality and
performance through innovative technology and precision engineering. So
when you choose the right comfort coil perfectly matched for your Trane
system, you can be sure you’ll enjoy the benefits of the best home
comfort system money can buy.
Like all of the components in our high-quality home comfort systems,
each coil goes through rigorous testing to guarantee the greatest
durability and protection against refrigerant leaks. We test each coil
with pressurized helium to 325 pounds per square inch. This allows us
to detect a leak as small as .10 ounces per year. A small amount, we
know, but because any leak will lower your system’s efficiency, any
leak is unacceptable. Durability means your home will be comfortable
now and for years to come. Keeping It Clean A dirty
indoor coil lowers the efficiency and performance of your total system.
To keep your system operating at design performance, have your coil
cleaned regularly. Indoor coils are often dirty because they’re usually
so difficult to access. But Trane Comfort™ coils are designed to slide
out on the integrated rail system for easy cleaning. Because the
insulation is encased the cabinet can be wiped down, making the job much
easier for your dealer, and a clean coil will yield higher performance
and cleaner air in your home.
