Trane has extended its Sintesis Balance CMAF portfolio of air-sourced multi-pipe units.
The range now offers capacities from 80 kW to 640 kW, delivering simultaneous heating and cooling by leveraging renewable energy and full heat recovery.
Repurposing energy and clearing the pathway to significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels for heating, the units also feature R454B, a low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant for lower environmental impact, ensuring future-proof compliance with tightening environmental regulations.
EMEA product management leader for Trane, Erik van Oossanen, said by integrating heating and cooling, the unit can capture and reuse waste heat, reducing fossil fuel use for heating.
“We need to understand that there is free heat all around us. By using recovered thermal energy to produce hot water, building owners can dramatically reduce their expenditures and contribute to decarbonisation goals,” he said.
Most buildings today operate separate cooling and heating systems, leading to inefficiencies and unnecessary burning of fossil fuels.
Trane’s Sintesis Balance CMAF units integrate these thermal circuits within a single multi-pipe heat pump, optimising the use of energy and reducing the overall carbon footprint of the HVAC system.
Trane’s CMAF systems recover and repurpose heat generated during the cooling cycle which would otherwise be rejected to the atmosphere, eliminating the need for fossil-fuel-based heating systems.
This integrated approach to heating and cooling enhances building efficiency, allowing owners to reduce operational costs while significantly improving the sustainability of their operations.
With market-leading Coefficient of Performance (COP) up to 3.5 and Total Efficiency Ratio (TER) up to 8.3, the extended Trane’s Sintesis Balance CMAF portfolio delivers high performance in comfort applications such as hospitals, hotels, theatres, and office buildings.
The units feature the Trane Adaptive Refrigerant System (TARS).This proprietary technology optimises refrigerant charge in each operating mode, ensuring maximum performance and efficiency in both part load and full load conditions.
It also enables a wider heating operating map, allowing for hot water delivery of up to 60°C.The four-compressor design, spread over two refrigerant circuits provides more part-load steps, ensuring consistent performance even in variable load conditions. This results in greater temperature stability and improved comfort for end-users.
The Trane Tracer Symbio 800 controller: featuring advanced algorithms to ensure smooth, reliable operation with the low cost of ownership. In addition, it also offers six arbitration choices to optimise performances in each application.
The Sintesis Balance CMAF units with R454B are available across EMEA, Australia and New Zealand.
