Field Flexibility
Piping and electrical connections to the
console are made in either the left or
right hand end pocket. The unit
refrigeration platform and the unit
control box is maintained in the same
location whether left or right hand
piping, standard unit cabinetry, extended
unit cabinetry, or low height unit
cabinetry has been specified. This cloned
platform poses a common look and feel
to the installer, as well as aids in
troubleshooting during service or
maintenance checkups.
Differences
Right Hand Piping
Console units ordered with a right hand
piping connection have the end pocket
located on the right hand side of the unit.
This end pocket provides room for
connecting field supply, return, and
condensate piping to the unit. It also
provides space for the high and low
voltage connections.
See Figure FB-3 for
right hand piping.
Left Hand Piping
Console units ordered with a left hand
piping connection have the end pocket
located on the left hand side of the unit.
This end pocket provides room for the
field supply, return, and condensate
piping connection to the unit. Installation
for the high voltage connection is also
made in the left hand end pocket.
Installing the low voltage controls
(thermostat/sensor hookup) is ALWAYS
made on the right hand side of the unit.
The low voltage termination for
thermostat or sensor wires may be run
along the back side of the chassis to the
right hand side of the unit for
connection.

Figure FB- 6 Wall Sleeve
Wall Sleeve
The cabinets wall sleeve is attached to
the wall by (4) four, #10 field provided
screws. This rigid design allows for ease
of separation from the cabinet assembly
during service or installation situations.
The wall sleeve is painted the same color
as the cabinet for aesthetic purposes.
Drain Pan
The unit drain pan is composed of
plastic, corrosive resistive material. The
pan is positively sloped to comply with
ASHRAE 62 for (IAQ) indoor air quality
conformity.
Access to the drain pan is provided
through the front chassis access panel.
The drain pan is removable for cleaning.
Cabinet Insulation
The cabinet insulation design meets UL
181 requirements. The air stream surface
of the insulation is fabricated of a non-
biodegradable source.
The insulation in the wet section of the
cabinet complies with ASHRAE standard
62 to accommodate (IAQ) indoor air
quality standards.
Refrigeration Piping
The units copper tubing is created from
a 99% pure copper formation that
conforms to the American Society of
Testing (ASTM) B743 for seamless, light-
annealed processing.
The units copper refrigeration system is
manufactured to be free from
contaminants and conditions such as
drilling fragments, dirt, or oil. This
reduces the possibility of these
contaminants damaging the compressor
motor.
Schrader Connections
The connections for the low and high
side of the refrigeration system are
located in the chassis portion of the unit
at the front of the refrigeration assembly.
Access to the schrader connections are
made through the refrigeration service
access panel.
Air-to-Refrigerant Coil
The air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger is
constructed of staggered copper tubes
with die-formed corrugated lanced
aluminum fins. The fins are then
mechanically bonded to the tubes
through expansion.
The maximum working pressure of the
coil is 450 psig. It is designed for
maximum capacity with an additional
benefit of physical unit size reduction.
Coil specifications for the GECA unit is
listed below.
Compressor
The units design includes a rotary
compressor motor in dedicated voltages
and tonnage sizes to aid in voltage
variations along with noise reduction of
the unit.
As an added benefit, Trane double
isolates the compressor and the
mounting plate assembly in the unit to
reduce sound vibration during
compressor operation.

Features and
Benefits
Coaxial Coil
The units internal heat exchanging
water coil is engineered for maximum
heat transfer.
The copper or cupro-nickel seamless
tubing is a tube within a tube design.
The inner-tube contains a deep fluted
curve to enhance heat transfer and
minimize fouling and scaling. Coaxial
heat exchangers are more tolerant to
freeze rupture.
Compressor and Coaxial Coil Isolation
Vibration isolation for the compressor
and coaxial water coil is accomplished
by increasing the rigidity and stiffness at
the base for the compressor, and at the
back of the chassis for the coaxial water
coil. This platform includes double
isolation to the compressor and single
isolation to the coaxial water coil.
Water Connections
The water-in/water-out connections to
the coaxial water coil are located in the
right-hand or left hand end pocket
(option specific).
The water-in/water-out tubes are a
5
/8-inch [14.7 mm] OD sweat connection.
The connection is available in either a
left hand or right hand piping end
pocket.
Figure FB-10 Coaxial Water Coil
Figure FB-11 Water Connection
Expansion Valve
All Trane water-source systems include
an expansion valve flow metering
device.
This thermal expansion valve (TXV)
allows the unit to operate with an
entering fluid temperature from 25 F to
110 F [-3.9 C to 43.3 C], and entering air
temperatures from 40 F to 90 F [4.4 C to
32.2 C]. The valve precisely meters
refrigerant flow through the circuitry to
achieve desired heating or cooling.
Unlike cap-tube assemblies, the
expansion valve device allows the exact
amount of refrigerant required to meet
the coil load demands. This precise
metering by the TXV increases the
efficiency of the unit.
Reversing Valve
A system reversing valve (4-way valve)
is included with all heating/ cooling
units. This valve is piped to be energized
in the cooling mode. Once the valve is
energized for cooling, it will remain
energized until the control system is
turned to the OFF position, or a heating
cycle is initiated.
Units with the cooling only option will
not receive a reversing valve.
Figure FB-12 Expansion Valve
Figure FB-13 Reversing Valve
Blower Housing
The blower housing is constructed of
non-corrosive galvanized steel.
Serviceability to the housing is made
through the chassis air-side front panel.
The fan housing is mounted onto a
fanboard assembly which also includes
the fan wheel, and fan motor. This fan
board assembly may be easily removed
from the chassis by sliding the fan board
frontward in maintenance or service
situations.

Features and
Benefits
Figure FB-15 Blower Motor
Blower Motor
The supply-air (blower) motor is a multi-
speed motor with internal thermal
overload protection. The motor bearings
are permanently lubricated and sealed.
Standard motors are rated from 200
CFM at low speed (unit size 006) to 425
CFM at high speed (unit size 015).
All motors are factory wired for low and
high speed options. Switching for speed
control is located in the unit control
panel.
(See Figure FB-15 for blower
motor and Figure FB-16 for fan switching
control panel.)
See fan performance section for factory
ratings of low and high speed settings.
Air-Side Filter
The air-side filter incorporates a 1-inch
[25.4 mm] thick (nominal) disposable
fiberglass option. The filter includes an
average synthetic dust weight arrestance
of approximately 75%. This dust holding
capability includes a colorless, odorless
adhesive to retain dirt particles within
the filter media after fiber contact.
The filter is accessible through the
return-air portion of the unit subbase.
Panel removal is not necessary to
facilitate filter maintenance for the
standard height unit configuration.

Figure FB-17 Filter Media
Supply-Air Registers
Supply-air registers for the GECA
product are constructed of a plastic,
corrosive resistive material. The registers
include a snap-in deflection design to
simplify installation, as well as facilitate
the ability to apply a bi-directional
arrangement across the register.
Hinged Control Box
Controls for the console unit are housed
on the right-hand side of the chassis. The
box dwells above the refrigeration
section of the chassis.
Access to the controls are made by way
of a hinged control box. This hinged box
allows easy access for service and
installation of the controls portion of the
chassis.

Features and
Benefits
Sound Attenuation Package
The console equipment is designed to
achieve the lowest noise levels possible.
Extensive testing has identified the
major sound generating sources within
the console unit package. Every effort
has been made to minimize the sound
generation and transmission from the
compressor, heat exchangers, and fan
sources. Vibration transmission from the
compressor and heat exchangers have
been minimized by the use of isolation.
The use of heavy metal gauges in critical
areas enhance the unit acoustic
performance. A patented two-stage
compressor isolation system has been
specifically designed for the console unit.
Acoustic lining has been used to quiet
compressor noise.
The unit airside acoustic performance
has been engineered to obtain the
quietest acoustic performance through
the fan, and fan housing selection. The
fin tube (air-to-refrigerant) coil and fan
discharge arrangement includes an
additional acoustic lining in the fan
compartment to further reduce the
airside sound levels. (See sound
performance data .)
The sound package for the console unit
includes:

Boilerless Control and Electric Heat
(option)
The boilerless electric heat option is
composed of a nichrome open wire
heating element with an internal
temperature limit placed above the fan
housing and an electronic (boilerless)
controller located in the main control
box.
See Figure FB-21 for boilerless
controller.
The boilerless control option is
comprised of a single stage of electric
heat and is designed to invoice electric
heat in the event that entering-water
temperatures falls below 55 F [12.8 C].
On a call for heating, the electric heater is
energized, locking out the compressor.
Once the entering water temperature
rises, above 60 F [15.6 C], the boilerless
controller returns the unit to normal
compressor heating operation and locks
out the electric heater. This option is
ONLY available on heat pump units.
See
Figure FB-22 for boilerless control
electric heat schematic.

Features and
Benefits
Hot Gas Reheat (option)
For true atmospheric conditioning and
climate control, Trane provides accurate,
cost effective dehumidification control
through a hot gas reheat option. This
option is designed to accommodate the
size 009 console configuration.
With this reheat option, the return air
from the space is cooled by the air-to-
refrigerant coil, then reheated by the
reheat coil to control not only space
temperature, but to also reduce the
relative humidity of the space. The
amount of moisture removal of a specific
heat pump is determined by the units
latent capacity rating.
When operating in the reheat mode, the
humidistat signals the reheat relay coil to
energize, allowing the high pressure
refrigerant gas to flow from the
compressor, through the reversing valve,
into the reheat valve, for passage
through the reheat coil.
See Figure FB-24
for the reheat conditioning schematic.
Figures FB-25 and FB-26 show the basic
heating and cooling cycle of the console
piped with the reheat option.
Common reheat applications include:
Conditioned-air delivered directly to
the space
Auditoriums, theaters, classrooms or
where a large latent load exist
Computer room space conditioning
Anywhere humidity control is a
problem

Stand-alone System
The 24V electro-mechanical design may
be applied as a stand-alone control
system. The stand-alone design provides
accurate temperature control directly
through a unit mounted controller, or a
wall-mounted mercury bulb or electronic
thermostat. This system setup may be
utilized in a replacement design where a
single unit retrofit is needed. It may be
easily interfaced with a field provided
control system by way of the factory
installed 18-pole terminal strip.
This stand-alone control is frequently
utilized on lower volume jobs where a
building controller may not be
necessary, or where field installed direct
digital controls are specified. This type of
control design does require a constant
flow of water to the water source heat
pump. With a positive way to sense flow
to the unit, the units safety devices will
trigger the unit off.
The stand-alone system design provides
a low cost option of installation while still
allowing room control freedom for each
unit.
See Figure FB-29 for 24V stand-
alone system controls.
Safety Devices
All unit safety devices are provided to
prevent compressor damage.
Low Pressure Switch
The low pressure switch prevents
compressor operation under low charge,
excessive loss of charge situations, and
under low temperature operation. This
device is installed on the suction side of
the refrigeration circuit. It is set to
activate at refrigerant pressures of 20
psig to fit most applications.
High Pressure Switch
The high pressure switch prevents
compressor operation during high or
excessive discharge pressures. This
device is located on the discharge side of
the compressor. The pressure switch de-
energizes the compressor when
discharge pressure exceeds 395 psig.
See Figure FB-28 for pressure switches.
Lockout Relay
The lockout relay works with the low and
high pressure switch to prevent
compressor operation if the unit is under
low or high refrigerant circuit pressure,
or condensate overflow conditions. The
lockout relay may be reset at the
thermostat, or by cycling power to the
unit.
General alarm is accomplished through
the lockout relay and is used for driving
light emitting diodes (LEDs). This feature
may be used to drive field supplied
relays, but cannot be used to drive field
installed control inputs.

source products and is designed to
control the compressor as well as
provide outputs for unit status and fault
detection.
The Trane microprocessor board is
factory wired to a terminal strip to
provide all necessary terminals for field
connections.

Deluxe 24V features
include:
Random Start
The random start relay provides a time
delay start-up of the compressor when
cycling to the occupied mode. A new
start delay time between 3 and 10
seconds is applied each time power is
enabled to the unit.
Anti-short Cycle Timer
The anti-short cycle timer provides a
three minute time delay between
compressor stop and compressor
restart.
Brown-out Protection
The brown-out protection function
measures the input voltage to the
controller and halts the compressor
operation. Once a brown-out situation
has occurred, the anti-short cycle timer
will become energized. The general fault
contact will not be affected by this
condition. The voltage will continue to
be monitored until the voltage increases.
The compressor will be enabled at this
time if all start-up time delays have
expired, and all safeties have been
satisfied.
Compressor Disable
The compressor disable relay provides a
temporary disable in compressor
operation. The signal would be provided
from a water loop controller in the
system. It would disable the compressor
because of low water flow, peak limiting
or if the unit goes into an unoccupied
state. Once the compressor has been
disabled, the anti-short cycle time period
will begin. Once the compressor disable
signal is no longer present, and all
safeties are satisfied, the control will
allow the compressor to restart.
Generic Relay
The generic relay is provided for field
use. Night setback or pump restart are
two options that may be wired to the
available relay.
(Note: Night setback is
available as factory wired.)
An external
Class II 24VAC signal will energize the
relay coil on terminals R1 and R2.
Terminals C (common), NO (normally
open), and NC (normally closed) will be
provided for the relay contacts.
Safety Control
The deluxe microprocessor receives
separate input signals from the
refrigerant high pressure switch, low
suction pressure switch and condensate
overflow.
In a high pressure situation, the
compressor contactor is de-energized,
which suspends compressor operation.
The control will go into
soft lockout
mode initializing a three minute time
delay and a random start of 3 to 10
second time delays. Once these delays
have expired, the unit will be allowed to
run. If a high pressure situation occurs
within one hour of the first situation, the
control will be placed into a
manual
lockout
mode, halting compressor
operation, and initiating the general
alarm.
In a low temperature situation, the low
pressure switch will open after the
compressor starts. If the switch is open
for 45 seconds during compressor start,
the unit will go into
soft lockout
mode
initializing a three minute time delay and
a random start of 3 to 10 second time
delays. Once these delays have expired,
the unit will be allowed to run. If the low
pressure situation occurs again, and the
device is open for more than 45 seconds,
the control will be placed into a
manual
lockout
mode, halting compressor
operation, and initiating the general
alarm.
In a condensate overflow situation, the
control will go into
manual lockout
mode, halting compressor operation,
and initiating the general alarm.
The general alarm is initiated when the
controller goes into a
manual lockout
mode for either high pressure, low
pressure or condensate overflow
conditions. The alarm can be reset at the
thermostat or by cycling power to the
unit.

Small Building Control
The deluxe 24V electro-mechanical
design may be applied as a stand-alone
control system or as a multi-unit
installation system. With a stand-alone
design, units run independently of one
another with a mercury bulb or
electronic digital thermostat.
With a multiple unit installation, the units
may be daisy-chained directly to the
Trane Tracer loop controller (TLC),
pump(s), boiler, and tower for a
complete networked water-source
system. The TLC provides a night
setback output, and a pump request
input for system optimization.
