General

The water source heat pump model WPWD (water-to-water) offers a range of capacities from 2 tons to 6 tons. All units are housed in one standard compact cabinet.

Cabinet

The cabinet, which allows easy ac- cess for installation and service, is constructed of heavy gauge metal. The cabinet finish is produced by a corrosion resistant electrostatic powder paint coating in the color “soft dove”.

The top half of the diagonal cabinet is removable for access to the inter- nal components by removing two screws. (See Figure 1).

WPWD cabinet includes full length channel stiffeners underneath the unit.

Heat Exchanger

The water to refrigerant heat ex- changers are made of stainless steel brazed plate. This design pro- vides a larger amount of surface area for heat exchange between the water and the refrigerant. (See Figure 2 for cut-away).

Piping

All low-side copper tubing in the re- frigeration circuit is insulated to pre- vent condensation at low entering liquid temperatures.

Filter Drier

A filter drier is provided in each unit for dehydration and cleaning of the refrigeration circuit. This feature adds to the unit life.

Insulation

To reduce condensation and com- pressor noise, the cabinets are in- sulated with 1/2-inch thick, neoprene backed, acoustical fiber- glass insulation.

Compressor

The model WPWD contains a high efficiency scroll compressor for reli- able and efficient operation. The scroll compressor’s unique design lends itself to having one of the low- est sound levels in the industry.

The compressor is internally isolat- ed and placed on a stiff base plate designed to further reduce vibration noise. As an added benefit, the

Expansion Valve

As standard, Trane provides a bal- anced port thermal expansion valve. This valve precisely meters the refrigerant flow through the cir- cuitry to achieve the desired heat- ing or cooling over a wide range of fluid temperatures.

Water Connections

All water connections feature

1-inch brass swivel connectors. Be- cause the connectors are swivel, a back-up wrench is not necessary when tightening.
