Installation

Sound Attenuation Pad

For sound sensitive installations, a vi- bration pad (field provided) should be placed beneath the horizontal or verti- cal equipment. For the horizontal unit, the pad should be approximately twice the size of the unit foot print. For the vertical unit, the pad should be 1/2" (12.7 mm) thick, and equal to the over- all unit foot print.

Hanging the Horizontal Unit

To hang the horizontal configuration:

(1)Install the hanging isolators (locat- ed in the return-air section of the unit) into the four hanging brackets.

(2)Secure the equipment to a joist, concrete, etc. with the use of 3/8"

(9.7 mm) field provided (all-thread) rod. Each corner should contain field provided nuts and washers to com- plete the hanging installation.

(3)Unit slope or pitch should conform to national and local codes. This is the responsibility of the contractor.

Condensate Drain Connection Install proper trapping to the equip- ment. The unit drain connection is 3/4" (19 mm) for all GEH and GEV models.

When designing the condensate trap for the water-source system, it’s im- portant to consider the unit’s draw- thru design requiring negative pres- sure trapping.

In a properly trapped system, when condensate forms during normal operation, the water level in the trap rises until there is a constant flow. It is imperative to maintain water in the trap and not allow the trap to dry out dur- ing heating season. Keeping trap primed at all times will enable the water to flow properly. See Figure 6 for appropriate dimensions required in a negative pressure system.

WARNING

Improper Unit Lift!

Test lift unit approximately 24 inches to verify proper center of gravity lift point. To avoid drop- ping of unit, reposition lifting point if unit is not level. Failure to properly lift unit could result in death or serious injury or possible equipment or prop- erty-only damage.

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.
