April 25, 2005—Trane is introducing hot gas reheat with direct digital dehumidification controls to its entire IntelliPak heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) rooftop line, the company says.
Hot gas reheat helps reduce humidity and mold growth potential, while improving indoor air quality and maintaining comfort, notes Trane.
The hot gas reheat feature uses native energy from Trane’s IntelliPak rooftop unit to provide comfortable space temperatures while reducing relative humidity levels. It also complies with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers’ (ASHRAE) 90.1 guidelines that limit the amount of new energy allowable for dehumidification using reheat.
Trane’s direct digital controls coordinate cooling and heating functions, and hot gas reheat during dehumidification cycles over a wide operating and ambient temperature range, in either constant volume or variable air volume (VAV) applications. The controller also provides reheat capacity control, occupied, unoccupied and disable functions, humidity set point control and system protection features.
