Trane Completes Transition to Ozone-Safe R-410A
Trane, acquired by Ingersoll Rand in June 2008 and the largest North American manufacturer of commercial HVAC equipment (#2 in the world), has completed the conversion away from R-22 in its unitary HVAC product line in the Americas. (Unitary equipment is self-contained, often rooftop-mounted, HVAC equipment that typically includes a motor-driven refrigeration compressor, evaporative cooling coil, air-cooled condenser, filters, fans, and controls.) The announcement was made on October 13, 2009, by Ingersoll Rand president and chief operating officer Mike Lamach at Trane’s 1.2-million-square-foot (110,000-m2) manufacturing plant in Clarksville, Tennessee. As part of the U.S. commitment to the Montreal Protocol, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandated a shift from ozone-depleting HCFC refrigerants in new HVAC equipment by January 1, 2010. Trane has introduced 17 redesigned products during 2008 and 2009, most offering improved energy efficiency in addition to ozone-safe operation. For information, visit www.trane.com.
