Moving refrigerant—not airUnlike many traditional HVAC systems—which move heated or cooled air throughout the interior of abuilding using ductwork—Trane Advantage VRF systems use an innovative new process, moving heatedor cooled refrigerant throughout the interior of a building using small-diameter pipes. The refrigerant thenpasses through coils in each room being served by a system; fans or blowers move air past the heated orcooled coils, transferring either warmed or cooled air into the room.The benefits of a Trane Advantage VRF systemare many, including:More efficiencyWith an integrated energy efficiency rating of up to27 IEER, and with a simultaneous cooling and heatingefficiency rating of up to 30 SCHE, a Trane AdvantageVRF system can save you more on energy costs thanany other VRF system.More individual controlTrane Advantage VRF systems can independentlyheat or cool different rooms to temperature levels ofthe occupants’ choosing, providing exceptional controland comfort.More installation optionsWith smaller equipment and small-diameter refrigerantpipes, Trane Advantage VRF systems can fit in a widervariety of buildings, from historic structures to newlyconstructed buildings.help find the right solution to meet thoseneeds—whether it’s a Trane AdvantageVRF system by itself, a Trane AdvantageVRF system in conjunction with anothertype of HVAC system or a different typeof stand-alone system entirely. We arecommitted to your satisfaction—and yoursatisfaction only will be achieved when theright system or combination of systemsserve you. Unlike other VRF systems, TraneAdvantage VRF is designed to work eitherby itself or by supplementing other TraneHVAC systems and can share the sameintuitive, comfort-enhancing, energy-savingTrane controls. The result is an easier-to-useintegrated heating and cooling solution thatmaintains high levels of occupant comfortand high efficiency without compromise—and delivers the dependable, reliableperformance you expect from Trane.

TraneAdvantage VRF systems can be the perfect standalone or additional system for many structures.Historic buildingsMulti-tenant buildingsInstalling ductwork in historicbuildings often is difficult orimpossible; Trane Advantage VRFsystems require no ductwork, whichcan make them an ideal solution.Buildings such as assisted-livingfacilities often have tenants whoseneeds for heating and cooling vary;Trane Advantage VRF systems cansimultaneously heat and cooldifferent rooms.

Seamless integration with Trane controlsTrane Tracer controls are known for their superiorperformance, with the ability to coordinate thefunctions of Trane heating and cooling equipment.Monitoring environmental variables and usingexclusive Trane-developed algorithms, Trane Tracer controlseffectively and efficiently direct the operation of Trane heatingand cooling equipment for maximum comfort and energysavings. Trane Advantage VRF systems work seamlessly withTrane Tracer controls—which can make Trane Advantage VRFsystems a perfect supplement to an existing Trane system, asmight occur when certain rooms in a building need a higherlevel of user-controllable heating and cooling.Smaller footprint and no ductwork forlower-impact installationswhere specially designed low-noise fans circulate heated orcooled air at sound levels as low as 23 dBA.Compared to ducted-air HVAC systems, TraneAdvantage VRF systems require much lessinstallation space, due to smaller equipment size.Trane Advantage VRF systems’ refrigerant pipestake up much less space than forced-air systems’ ductwork,resulting in less impact on the structures in which they’reinstalled—a benefit that’s especially important in existingstructures.360-foot maximum piping length2XMAX LENGTHCertain Trane Advantage VRF systems cansupport a maximum refrigerant pipe length of360 feet—exceeding the limitations of manycompeting systems. This redefinition of what’spossible with VRF technology comes from a combination ofhigh-performance smart inverter compressors and electronicExceptionally quiet operationexpansion valves with a unique 2,000-step gear-driven design.The result is especially beneficial for taller buildings: ratherTrane Advantage VRF systems operate at very lowthan have VRF equipment occupying a mechanical room atsound levels, which can improve the comfort andthe midpoint of a 360-foot-tall building, a Trane Advantageproductivity of building occupants.
