Features and Benefits

The Force–Flo™ cabinet heater meets the standards of today’s market, as well as the anticipated needs of tomorrow’s market. The tradition that company founder Reuben Trane began in 1913 continues with the latest generation of cabinet heaters from Trane.

The Force–Flo cabinet heater is the leader in these key areas:

•Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

•Controls

•Flexibility

•Quality

•Serviceability

Today’s HVAC market is concerned with issues such as indoor air quality (IAQ) and CFCs that demand a change in HVAC products. In addition, renovation has overtaken new construction in the cabinet heater market—demanding a design that caters to renovation issues. Trane is concerned with these issues, too. That’s why we designed the Force– Flo cabinet heater as an integral part of the company’s system solutions with standard IAQ-related features that fully comply with ASHRAE 62.

IAQ Design

•Closed-cell insulation is standard on all units to help prevent fiberglass in the airstream.

•Easy filter access encourages frequent changing.

•Force–flo cabinet heaters have a blow- thru design.

Controls

•All controls are factory-mounted and tested to minimize field setup.

•Controls are wired with a 24 VAC transformer to keep only a single source power connection requirement to the unit.

•All wall-mounted zone sensors require only low voltage control wiring from the device to the unit control box. (No line voltage.)

•The Tracer® controls family introduces the latest in control technology with the ZN.010, ZN.510, and ZN.520 controllers.

•The random start-up feature helps reduce electrical demand peaks by randomly staggering multiple units at start-up.

•Occupied/unoccupied operation allows the controller to utilize unoccupied temperature setpoints for energy savings.

•Warm-up energy feature is standard with Trane controls.

•Continuous fan or fan cycling is avail- able with ZN.010 or ZN.510.

•Monitor unit operation using Tracer® Summit building management system with ZN.510 or ZN.520.

•To customize unit control, Tracer Summit or Rover™ software will allow field modification of ZN.510 and ZN.520 default settings. For ZN.010, use Rover to field modify default settings.

•Maximize cabinet heater system efficiency with modulating valves on units with ZN.520.

Flexibility

•Two, three, and four-row hot water coils allow greater design flexibility. Steam distributing or electric heat coils are also available.

•Fan motors are available for either high static (0.4-inch external static pressure) or free discharge applications.

•Piping is factory assembled, mounted and tested. Units are also available without piping.

•Factory piping options include intercon-

necting piping, control valves, and end valves. Deluxe piping also has unions and a strainer.

•Control options range from a simple fan speed switch to a DDC controller that can tie into a Tracer Summit® building automation system.

•The extended end pocket option adds 8- inches (20 cm) to the piping end of cabinet style units.

•Slope-top vertical cabinet units are an excellent application for school and dormitories to prevent items from being placed on top of the units.

•Vertical wall hung units are used in vestibules, bathrooms, stairwells, or other applications when the unit cannot be installed on the floor

•Inverted unit models allow heating to circulate from the bottom of the unit.

Quality

•Coils and piping packages are air and leak-tested before mounting on the unit.

•Coil piping connections are also air and leak-tested after mounting on the unit.

•All control end devices and moving components (fans and motors) are computer-tested after units are complete.

Serviceability

•Filters are easily removable and changed without removing the front panel on vertical cabinet units.

•Motors are easy to disconnect from the fan board, allowing easy service.

•The manual output test function is an invaluable troubleshooting tool. By simply pressing the test button on the Tracer® ZN.510, ZN.520, or ZN.010; service personnel can manually exercise outputs in a pre-defined sequence.
