Installation

Dual Filtration (GEH 1/2 to 5 ton) The horizontal, GEH model, allows the installer flexibility in design applica- tions such as a dual filtration option. With the dual filtration design, the unit will contain a lower static which trans- lates into a decrease in filter mainte- nance. For installation of a dual filtration accessory for the GEH mod- el, verify that an extra set of return-air filter racks and filter have been or- dered from the factory. This accessory will be shipped separate from the unit, and should be located in a separate box than the unit.

(1)Remove the return-air side panel from the GEH unit. This panel is held in place by six Torx head screws.

(2)Install the top/bottom filter rack at the new opening. The 1"/2" (25.4/50.8 mm) adjustable filter rack is held in place with four Torx head screws that once held the panel.

(3)Install the 1"/2" (25.4/50.8 mm) filter.

Return-Air Duct Panel

The return-air arrangement may be easily converted from a free return-air system, to a ducted return-air system with the addition of a return-air side panel on the GEH unit. By replacing the filter racks with the return-air pan- el, a complete seal from the ductwork to the unit is possible. The 1 1/2" (38

mm)duct flange facilitates ease of field hook-up to the mechanical system.

(1)Install the return-air duct panel to the return-air opening with the six Torx head screws provided for the fil- ter rack assembly.

Trane GEH, GEV manual Return-Air Duct Panel

GEV, GEH specifications

Trane has long been a leader in the HVAC industry, and their GEH and GEV series of heat pumps are a testament to their commitment to innovation and efficiency. These models are designed to provide substantial energy savings while maintaining exceptional performance, making them ideal choices for both residential and commercial applications.

The Trane GEH and GEV heat pumps feature advanced variable-speed technology, which allows them to adjust their output to match the current heating or cooling demand. This adaptability not only enhances comfort by maintaining a consistent indoor temperature but also leads to significant energy savings by reducing unnecessary energy consumption during partial-load conditions. By running more efficiently at lower speeds, these units reduce wear and tear on components, extending the lifespan of the system.

One of the defining characteristics of the GEH and GEV models is their high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings. These ratings demonstrate the units' ability to provide efficient heating and cooling throughout the year, contributing to lower energy bills. The use of R-410A refrigerant is another key feature, as it is both environmentally friendly and efficient, ensuring that these systems meet stringent regulatory standards while delivering reliable performance.

Installation flexibility is another highlight of the Trane GEH and GEV series. These units are designed to work seamlessly with existing HVAC systems, making retrofitting straightforward. Their compact design allows for easy placement, even in tight spaces, without compromising performance. Additionally, Trane's commitment to quality is evident in the construction of these heat pumps, as they are built to withstand harsh weather conditions and provide reliable service year after year.

Moreover, both the GEH and GEV models are equipped with integrated smart controls that simplify operation and maintenance. These controls allow homeowners and facility managers to monitor energy usage, adjusting settings remotely and scheduling maintenance checks to maximize efficiency. This technology not only enhances user experience but also promotes energy conservation through intelligent management.

In summary, Trane's GEH and GEV heat pumps stand out for their variable-speed technology, high efficiency ratings, installation flexibility, and smart controls. These features make them an ideal solution for those seeking a reliable, energy-efficient heating and cooling option, reflecting Trane's dedication to performance and sustainability.
