Balancing The Auto- matic Circuit Setter Valve

The automatic flow valve is an optional end valve on the return of the factory piping package.

See Figure 20. The valve regu- lates water flow through the coil to a specific (gpm) flow rate, as ordered by the customer.

The automatic flow valve controls to the specified flow rate, pro- vided that the pressure drop across the valve is within a certain range. To verify that the

valve is operating properly, remove the protective caps from the P/T ports and measure the pressure drop across the valve with a differen- tial pressure meter. Carefully remove the P/T port connection caps, since they will be at the same temperature as the pipeline. The reading should be within the given ranges in Table 2. If the pressure drop is not within the ranges listed, the valve will not control water flow. If the valve orifice becomes clogged with debris, remove water from piping and then remove the cap of the valve body and push on the piston to dislodge any foreign matter. If this is not successful, remove the cartridge and clean.

Table 2. Automatic Circuit Setter Flow Rate Range.

Valve gpm

Pressure Drop Range (psig)

0.5 to 8.0

2 to 32

9 to 12

5 to 50

Replace the cartridge in the field without breaking the piping line to furnish a higher or lower gpm. To do this, remove the water from the system. Remove the cap assembly containing the plug from the valve body. Grasp the cartridge by the piston to remove. Install a different spring if the pressure drop range of the valve is being changed also.

Additionally, Trane LO units often come with a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating that ensures top performance during hotter months.

Incorporating state-of-the-art technology, Trane LO features Smart Technology integration. Through IoT (Internet of Things) capabilities, users can monitor and control their HVAC systems remotely via smartphones or smart home devices. This feature promotes convenience and ensures that energy use can be optimized from anywhere, giving users greater control over their indoor climate.

Another standout technology in Trane LO is its use of environmentally friendly refrigerants. The system is designed to utilize low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants, making it compliant with modern environmental standards and contributing to a greener planet.

The Trane LO also emphasizes durability. Constructed with high-quality materials, including weather-resistant finishes, these units are built to withstand various environmental conditions, ensuring they maintain peak performance over the years.

Noise reduction is another critical aspect of the Trane LO line. With features such as sound blankets and vibration dampening technology, the units operate quietly, ensuring that the comfort of users is not compromised by disruptive noise levels.

Maintenance is simplified with the Trane LO, as several units are engineered for easy access to essential components, promoting hassle-free servicing. This is vital for prolonging the lifespan of the system and reducing maintenance costs.

In summary, Trane LO represents a fusion of energy efficiency, advanced technology, environmental responsibility, durability, and user-friendly features. Whether for residential or commercial applications, Trane LO systems stand as a reliable choice for effective climate control.
