Introduction
VariTrane™ variable-air-volume (VAV) units lead the industry in quality and reliability and are
designed to meet the specific needs of today’s applications. This generation of VariTrane units
builds upon the history of quality and reliability and expands the products into the most complete
VAV offering in the industry.
Single-duct units provide an economical energy-savings system solution. This is the most
common type of VAV unit.
Dual-duct units have two air valves. One heating valve and one cooling air valve modulate
simultaneously to provide occupant comfort. This option is also used with system concepts which
use one valve for maintaining and monitoring 100% ventilation air.

Features and Benefits
Construction
UL-listed products
Safety and reliability are vital in commercial construction. All VariTrane™ units are listed in
accordance with UL -1995 as terminal units. This listing includes the VAV terminal with electric
heaters. Additionally, all insulation materials pass UL 25/50 smoke and flame safety standards.

AHRI Certified Performance
All VariTrane units are AHRI certified. AHRI 880 guarantees the pressure drop, flow performance,
and acoustical performance provided is reliable and has been tested in accordance with industry
accepted standards. AHRI 885 uses AHRI 880 performance and applies accepted industry methods
to estimate expected “NC” sound levels within the occupied space.

Casing Design
Interlocking Panels—VariTrane products are manufactured in Trane’s state-of-the-art facility in the
U. S. The interlocking panels are designed using integral I-beam construction technology. This
minimizes deformation and creates tremendous product rigidity. An additional benefit is a smooth
unit exterior with few exposed screws—ideal for exposed ceiling applications. VariTrane units are
designed for use in systems that operate up to 5" w.c. of inlet pressure.
Metal Encapsulated Edges—All VariTrane units are complete
with encapsulated edges to arrest cut fibers and prevent
insulation erosion into the airstream. This is the standard of
care in applications concerned with fiberglass erosion or
projects with either double-wall or externally wrapped duct
work.
The Trane Air Valve—is at the heart of VariTrane terminal
units. This is where airflow is measured and controlled.
Repeatability and ruggedness is vital. VariTrane products are
the most rugged and reliable available.

18-gage Cylinder—limits deformation or damage during shipment and job site handling, and
provides even airflow distribution across the flow ring for unmatched airflow measurement
accuracy.
Continuously Welded Seam — an automated weld process creates the highest quality continuous
seam, which is “right” every time. The welded seam improves air valve rigidity and creates
consistent and repeatable airflow across the flow measurement device. The result is a truly round
cylinder, with no flat spots caused by lower quality crimping and riveting technologies.
Flow Ring—The Trane flow ring is time tested to perform under the
most demanding conditions. Additionally, Trane’s patented flow ring
is recessed within the air valve cylinder to reduce the potential for
damage during job site handling and installation.

Features and Benefits

External Shaft—This simple design provides controller flexibility and is designed to facilitate
actuator field replacement.
Position Indicator—The position indicator shows current air valve position to aid in system
commissioning. Many times this can be seen from the floor without climbing a ladder.
External Actuator—This feature increases serviceability, control system compatibility, and actuator
clutch access for simplified commissioning.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Features
The oil embargo of the early 1970s created an energy crisis, which resulted in tighter buildings, and
reduced ventilation rates. A fallout issue of tighter building construction was poor indoor air
quality. This heightened IAQ awareness. IAQ issues have been featured in publications from the
smallest towns to the largest cities. System design should consider applicable ventilation and IAQ
standards.(See your local Trane Sales Engineer or visit www.trane.com for additional information).
Good indoor air quality results from units and systems which:
•

Provide the required amount of ventilation air to each zone during all operating conditions

•

Limit particulates from entering occupied spaces

VariTrane units are designed with simplified access and a full line of insulation options including:
Matte-faced—Typical industry standard with reduced first cost.
Closed-cell—This insulation has an R-value and performance equivalent to matte-faced insulation.
The main difference is the reduction of water vapor transmission. Closed-cell is designed for use
in installations with a high chance of water formation. (It has been used to coat the exterior of chiller
evaporator barrels for many years.)
Foil-faced—A fiberglass insulation with a thin aluminum coating on the air stream side to prevent
fibers from becoming airborne. The aluminum lining is acceptable for many applications, however
it is not as rugged as double-wall.
Double-wall—Premium insulation often used in many health care applications with insulation
locked between metal liners. This eliminates the possibility for insulation entering the airstream
and allows for unit interior wipe-down as needed.
VariTrane VAV units are the most prepared IAQ units in the industry. The end result is a reliable
product designed for peak performance, regardless of job site conditions or handling.

interface with other control systems.
1. Use Trane LONMARK®, factory-commissioned VAV controllers
2. Use Trane BACnet® factory-commissioned VAV controllers.

Factory-installed vs. Factory-commissioned
The terms factory-installed and factory-commissioned are often used interchangeably. Trane takes
great pride in being the industry leader in factory-commissioned DDC controllers. Table , p. 10
differentiates these concepts.
Factory-commissioned controllers provide the highest quality and most reliable units for your VAV
system. Additional testing verifies proper unit operation including occupied/unoccupied airflow,
temperature setpoints, communication link functionality, and output device functionality. The
benefits of factory-commissioning are standard on VariTrane™ terminal units with Trane DDC
controls. This means that factory-commissioned quality on VariTrane VAV units is now available
on ANY manufacturer’s control system that can communicate using the LonMark® Space Comfort
Control (SCC) protocol or using BACnet® communication protocol. (See Controls section for
complete listing of variables which are communicated.)

Trane VAV Systems - Proven Performance
Trane is the industry leader in VAV systems, including factory-commissioned controls and
integration with other control systems. This leadership began with customers seeking the most
reliable VAV products in the industry. The solution was factory-commissioned controls (see
Factory-installed vs. Factory-commissioned). Since then, it has blossomed to include optimized
system control strategies.
Control strategies are often made more complicated than necessary. VariTrane DDC controls
simplify control strategies by pre-engineering control logic and sequencing into the controller. This
information is available via a twisted-shielded wire pair or wireless communication, and accessible
via a Trane Tracer™ SC. Data is easily accessed via a computer workstation.
Optimized system control strategies, such as ventilation optimization, fan-pressure optimization,
and optimal start/stop, are pre-engineered in VariTrane unit-level DDC controllers and the Tracer
SC building automation system.
This allows a Trane VAV system to meet or exceed the latest ASHRAE 90.1 Energy Efficiency
standards. Pre-engineered controls allow consistent, high quality installations which are very
repeatable. The end result is PROVEN control strategies you can rely on to perform. For more
information on these and other control strategies, contact your local Trane Sales Office, or visit

Agency Certifications
There are numerous regulations and standards in the industry that determine the construction and
performance parameters for VAV terminal units. Some of the more important of those standards
and regulations are listed below, along with a brief description of what each one addresses.

American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE)
ASHRAE - 41.1
ASHRAE - 41.2
ASHRAE - 41.3
These standards specify methods for temperature measurement (41.1), laboratory airflow
measurement (41.2), and pressure measurement (41.3). While none of these standards specifically
discusses VAV air terminals, they discuss topics that are aspects of terminal box systems.
Therefore, some engineers will include these standards in their specifications as a primer on
accepted measurement techniques.
ASHRAE - 62
This standard specifies the minimum ventilation rates and indoor air quality that are acceptable for
occupied spaces.
ASHRAE - 111
This standard calls out procedures to be followed for testing and balancing HVAC systems. It
includes descriptions of the equipment used, procedures followed, and field changes that must be
made when a system is balanced.

Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI)
AHRI 880 - 2011
This standard sets forth classifications, performance testing requirements, and test results
reporting requirements for air terminal units. The standard contains very detailed procedures that
are to be followed for the testing and certification program associated with this standard. This is
one of the most commonly referenced standards in the VAV terminal unit industry. The AHRI-880
certification program is designed to police the accuracy of documented performance for terminal
units. The certification program requires a sampling of at least four units be tested annually. The
tested units are chosen at random by AHRI and sent to an independent laboratory for the testing.
The performance is tested at one specific operating condition. The operating characteristics tested
include discharge and radiated sound power (for the damper and, in the case of fan-powered
boxes, the fan), wide-open damper pressure drop, and fan motor amp draw. VariTrane terminal
units are certified according to AHRI-880.
AHRI 885-2008
This document provides a procedure to estimate sound pressure levels in an occupied space. The
standard accounts for the amount of sound pressure in the space due to the VAV air terminal,
diffusers and their connecting low pressure ductwork. While sound generated from the central
system fan and ductwork may be a significant factor in determining the sound pressure level in the
room, this standard does not address those factors. It focuses solely on the VAV terminal and items
downstream of it. This standard is related to AHRI-880 by using sound power determined using
AHRI-880 methodology as a starting point for the AHRI-885 procedure.

Agency Certifications

Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) 1995
Underwriter’s Laboratory is an independent testing agency that examines products and
determines if those products meet safety requirements. Equipment manufacturers strive to meet
UL guidelines and obtain listing and classifications for their products because customers recognize
UL approval as a measure of a safely designed product. VariTrane™ VAV air terminals are listed per
UL-1995, Heating and Cooling Equipment. The terminals are listed as an entire assembly.

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
NFPA 70
This standard is also known as the National Electrical Code (NEC). The Code gives standards for
installation of wiring and electrical equipment for most types of commercial and residential
buildings. It is often referred to in VAV air terminal specifications when fan-powered boxes, electric
heat or electric controls are included.
NFPA 90A
This standard does not speak directly to VAV air terminals but does discuss central system
considerations pertaining to a fire and/or smoke condition. The standard discusses safety
requirements in design and construction that should be followed to keep the air-handling system
from spreading a fire or smoke. The standard specifies practices that are intended to stop fire and
smoke from spreading through a duct system, keep the fire-resistive properties of certain building
structures (fire walls, etc.) intact, and minimize fire ignition sources and combustible materials.

Single-Duct VAV Terminal Units
The features of the single-duct VAV terminal units are described by the product categories shown
in bold. Within each category the available options are listed.

Selection Procedure
This section describes the catalog selection of single-duct VAV terminal units with specific
examples. A computer selection program is also available to aid in selection of VAV terminal units.
Selection of single-duct VAV terminal units can involve three elements:
•

Air valve selection

•

Heating coil selection (if required)

•

Acoustics controls

Air Valve Selection
The wide-open static pressure and airflows are found in the performance data section of the
catalog. To select an air valve, locate the required design cooling airflow for your terminal unit type
and find the smallest air valve size that has a pressure drop equal to or lower than the maximum
wide-open static pressure requirement.
Selection Example: Cooling Only VCCF Terminal Unit
Design cooling airflow: 1700 cfm
Maximum wide open Air pressure drop: 0.25 in. wg
Minimum cooling airflow: 850 cfm
From the performance data charts, select a valve size 12, which has a wide-open static pressure
drop of 0.01 in. wg
Check the minimum and maximum cfm desired with the minimum and maximum cfm allowed in
the table in the general data section. The maximum setting of 1700 cfm is within the acceptable
range. The desired minimum setting of 850 cfm is acceptable for the cooling only box desired. Note
that if an electric reheat box was selected, the minimum cfm would be dependent upon the kW of
the electric heater. (See Electric Heat Unit Selection.)

Heating Coil Selection (If required)
First, determine the amount of heat required to meet space and downstream duct heat losses from
a load calculation.

Hot Water Heat
Select a hot water coil sufficient to meet the design heat loss.
Example:
VCWF, Hot Water Unit Heat, Size 12 (See Air Valve Selection)
Heating airflow: 850 cfm
Hot water flow: 1.0 gpm
Design Heat Loss: Q =25 MBh
Select hot water coil from the coil performance table in the Performance Data section of the catalog.
Selection:
A one-row coil is sufficient to meet design conditions. From the Hot Water Coil Capacity Data of the
Performance Data Section, a one-row coil for a size 12 air valve will operate at the above conditions
as follows:
Coil Capacity: 25.17 MBh
Water pressure drop: 0.72 ft WPD
VAV-PRC011M-EN

17

Single-Duct VAV Terminal Units

Air pressure drop (APD) of the hot water coil is included in the chart preceding the hot water coil
performance data section.
APD = 0.35 in. wg

Electric Heat
Determine the kW required to meet zone design heat loss.
kW=MBh / 3.414
MBh=Design Heat Loss
Select the nearest available kW with voltage and steps desired from the electric heater kW guideline
table in the Performance Data section of the catalog.
Example
VCEF, Electric Unit Heat, Size 12 (See Air Valve Selection)
Heating airflow: 850 cfm
Voltage: 277/60/1 VAC
Design Heat Loss: Q=25 MBh
kW=Q/3.414
kW=25/3.414
kW=7.3
Selection:
Select 7.5 kW from the electric heat table in the voltage and stages required. The table shows the
minimum cfm allowable for the kW selected. The static pressure requirement is shown as 0.06 in.
wg for this example with a design cooling flow of 1700 cfm.
Check Leaving Air Temperature:
Q
LAT = ------------------------------------- + T
1.085 × CFM

T is the primary entering air temperature 55°F for this example.
3414 × 7.5
LAT = ----------------------------------- + 55 = 82.8
1.085 × 850

Decide if leaving air temperature of 82.8°F is satisfactory for your application.

Acoustics
The acoustical data found in the "Performance Data" section of the VAV catalog is used to make a
determination of the amount of noise the terminal unit will generate. Locate the table for the VAV
terminal unit of interest. Sound power data and an equivalent NC level for an AHRI 885-2008
transfer function is listed.
Example
VCCF, Cooling-Only Terminal Unit, Size 10 (See air Valve Selection)
Cooling Airflow: 1100 cfm
Maximum inlet static pressure: 1.5 in. wg
Interpolation gives sound power data of:

The NC level above is determined by using either the catalog’s AHRI 885-2008 mineral fiber for
radiated sound transfer function for the conditions shown in the acoustics table. A different transfer
function could be applied as conditions dictate.

Single-Duct VAV Terminal Units

The maximum NC level is NC-29. If the maximum NC level was exceeded, it would have been
necessary to reselect the next larger unit size.

Computer Selection
The advent of personal computers has served to automate many processes that were previously
repetitive and time-consuming. One of those tasks is the proper scheduling, sizing, and selection
of VAV terminal units. Trane has developed a computer program to perform these tasks. The
software is called the Trane Official Product Selection System (TOPSS™).
The TOPSS program will take the input specifications and output the properly sized VariTrane™ VAV
terminal unit along with the specific performance for that size unit.
The program has several required fields, denoted by red shading in the TOPSS screen, and many
other optional fields to meet the criteria you have. Required values include maximum and
minimum airflows, control type, and model. If selecting models with reheat, you will be required
to enter information to make that selection also. The user is given the option to look at all the
information for one selection on one screen or as a schedule with the other VAV units on the job.
The user can select single-duct, dual-duct, and fan-powered VAV boxes with the program, as well
as most other Trane products, allowing you to select all your Trane equipment with one software
program.
The program will also calculate sound power data for the selected terminal unit. The user can enter
a maximum individual sound level for each octave band or a maximum NC value. The program will
calculate acoustical data subject to default or user supplied sound attenuation data.

Schedule View
The program has many time-saving features such as: 1) Copy/Paste from spreadsheets like
Microsoft® Excel; 2) Easily arranged fields to match your schedule; and 3) Time-saving templates
to store default settings.
The user can also export the Schedule View to Excel to modify and put into a CAD drawing as a
schedule. Specific details regarding the program, its operation, and how to obtain a copy of it are
available from your local Trane sales office.

Hot Water Reheat Coil Notes (I-P)
1. Fouling Factor = 0.00025
2. Capacity based on 55°F entering air temperature and 180°F entering water temperature. Refer
to correction factors found in Table 15, p. 31 and Table 16, p. 31 for different entering
conditions.
3. The following equations may be used in calculating Leaving Air Temperature (LAT) and Water
Temperature Difference (WTD).
MBH × 921.7
LAT = EAT +  --------------------------------------


Cfm
2 × MBH
WTD = EWT – LWT =  ------------------------
 Gpm 

4. For premium coils (.020” wall), side pressure drop increasesx 17% and water velocity increases
7% for fixed GPM.

Hot Water Reheat Coil Notes (SI)
1. Fouling Factor = 0.00025
2. Capacity based on 12°C entering air temperature and 82°C entering water temperature. Refer
to correction factors found in Table 15, p. 31 and Table 16, p. 31 for different entering
conditions.
3. The following equations may be used in calculating Leaving Air Temperature (LAT) and Water
Temperature Difference (WTD).
LAT = EAT + (kW x 0.83 / L/s)
WTD = EWT - LWT = (kW / (4.19) L/s)
4. For premium coils (.020” wall), side pressure drop increases x 17% and water velocity increases
7% for fixed GPM.

Note: For VCEF units, Discharge Air Reset Enable is not compatible with legacy design LH and RH
units. This feature can only be enabled with the (F) flippable orientation units with centrally
located electric heat rack. Additionally, SCR heat, BACnet controls and averaging temp
sensing matrix must be selected to enable this energy efficiency feature.

Single-Duct VAV Terminal Units

Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) Equation
•

MCA = heater amps x 1.25

Maximum Over Current Protection (MOP) Equation
•

MOP = heater amps

•

However since MOP is less than or equal to MCA, then choose next fuse greater than MCA.

•

Units without electric reheat would use smallest fuse sizing.

Standard Fuse Sizes: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 60.
Example–For MOP of Single-Duct Unit
A model VCEF, electric reheat unit size 14 has 480/3 phase 15 kW electric reheat with 2 stages.
15 kW – 480/3 heater
15x1000/480x1.73=18.06
MCA = 18.06 x 1.25 = 22.58 amps. Since MOP is less than or equal to MCA, then MOP = 25.
Useful Formulas
Cfm × ATD
kW = -------------------------------3145

kW × 1000
3φamps = -----------------------------------------------------------------PrimaryVoltage × 3
kW × 3145
ATD = ------------------------------Cfm

Airflow Switch— An air pressure device designed to disable the heater. This is standard on singleduct with electrical reheat units.
Line Fuse—An optional safety fuse located in the line of power of the electric heater to prevent
power surge damage to the electric heater.
Disconnect Switch—A optional factory-provided door interlocking disconnect switch on the heater
control panel disengages primary voltage to the terminal.

Unit Controls Sequence of Options
Unit controller continuously monitors zone temperature against its setpoint and varies primary
airflow as required to meet zone setpoints. Airflow is limited by minimum and maximum position
setpoints. Upon further call for heat after the air valve reaches the minimum airflow setting, any
hot water or electric heat associated with the unit is enabled.

Direct Digitals Controls
DDC Actuator—Trane 3-wire, 24-VAC, floating-point quarter turn control actuator with linkage
release button. Actuator has a constant drive rate independent of load, a rated torque of 35 in-lb,
a 90-second drive time, and is non-spring return. Travel is terminated by end stops at fully-opened
and -closed positions. An integral magnetic clutch eliminates motor stall.
DDC Actuator - Belimo — LMB24-3-T TN 3-wire, 24 VAC/DC, floating-point, quarter turn actuator
with linkage release button. Actuator has constant drive rate independent of load, rated torque 45
in-lb, 95 sec drive time, and non-spring return. Travel terminated by end stops at fully-opened and
-closed positions. Internal electronic control prevents motor stall when motor reaches end stops.
Direct Digital Controller—Microprocessor based terminal unit controller provides accurate,
pressure-independent control through the use of a proportional integral control algorithm and
direct digital control technology. The controller, named Unit Control Module (UCM), monitors zone
temperature setpoints, zone temperature and its rate of change, and valve airflow using a
differential pressure signal from the pressure transducer. Additionally, the controller can monitor
either supply duct air temperature or CO2 concentration via appropriate sensors. Controller
enclosure has 7/8"(22 mm) knockouts for remote control wiring. Trane DDC zone sensor is required.
DDC Zone Sensor—The UCM controller senses zone temperature through a sensing element
located in the zone sensor. In addition to the sensing element, zone sensor options may include an
externally-adjustable setpoint, communications jack for use with a portable edit device, and an
override button to change the individual controller from unoccupied to occupied mode. The
override button has a cancel feature that will return the system to unoccupied. Wired zone sensors
utilize a thermistor to vary the voltage output in response to changes in the zone temperature.
Wiring to the UCM controller must be 18- to 22-awg. twisted pair wiring. The setpoint adjustment
range is 50–88ºF (10–31°C). Depending upon the features available in the model of sensor selected,
the zone sensor may require from a 2-wire to a 5-wire connection. Wireless zone sensors report the
same zone information as wired zone sensors, but do so using radio transmitter technology.
Therefore with wireless, wiring from the zone sensor to the UCM is unnecessary.
Digital Display Zone Sensor with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)—Digital display zone sensor
contains a sensing element, which signals the UCM. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) displays
setpoint or space temperature. Sensor buttons allow user to adjust setpoints, and allow space
temperature readings to be turned on or off. Digital display zone sensor also includes a
communication jack for use with a portable edit device, and an override button to change UCM from
unoccupied to occupied. Override button cancel feature returns system to unoccupied mode.
System Communications— The Controller is designed to send and receive data from a Tracer™SC
or other Trane controllers. Current unit status conditions and setpoints may be monitored and/or
edited via this data communication feature. The network type is a twisted wire pair shielded serial
communication.

Dual-Duct VAV Terminal Units
Dual-duct units have two air valves. One heating valve and one cooling air valve modulate
simultaneously to provide occupant comfort. These systems were popular prior to the energy crisis
of the early 1970s. Popularity is increasing with system concepts which use one valve for
maintaining and monitoring 100% ventilation air.

This section describes the catalog selection of dual-duct VAV terminal units with specific examples.
A computer selection program is also available to aid in selection of VAV terminal units.
Selection of dual-duct VAV terminal units can involve two elements:
•

Air valve selection

•

Acoustics

Air Valve Selection
The wide-open static pressure and airflows are found in the performance data section of the
catalog. To select the air valves, locate the required design cooling and heating airflows for your
terminal unit type and find their vertical intersection, with the smallest air valve size that has a
pressure drop equal to or lower than the maximum wide-open static pressure requirement.
Example:
VDDF Terminal Unit Design cooling airflow: 1000 cfm
Maximum wide-open Air pressure drop: 0.25 in. wg
Minimum cooling airflow: 500 cfm
Design heating airflow: 1000 cfm
Maximum wide-open Air pressure drop: 0.25 in. wg
Minimum heating airflow: 400 cfm
From the performance data charts, select a valve size 10 for cooling, which has a wide-open static
pressure drop of 0.09 in. wg. Select a size 10 for heating, which has a wide-open static pressure drop
of 0.09 in. wg.
Check the minimum and maximum cfm desired with the minimum and maximum cfm allowed in
the table in the general data section. The maximum setting of 1000 cfm is within the acceptable
range. The desired minimum setting of 500 cfm is acceptable for the unit desired.

Dual-Duct VAV Terminal Units

Acoustics
The acoustical data found in the “Performance Data” section of the VAV catalog is used to make
a determination of the amount of noise the terminal unit will generate. Locate the table for the VAV
terminal unit of interest. Sound power data and an equivalent NC level for an AHRI 885-2008
transfer function is listed.
Example:
VDDF, Cooling-Only Terminal Unit, Size 10 cooling, Size 10 heating (See air Valve Selection)
Cooling Airflow: 1000 cfm
Max. inlet static pressure: 1.5 in. wg
Heating Airflow: 1000 cfm
Max. inlet static pressure: 1.5 in. wg
Interpolation gives sound power data of:

The NC level above is determined by using either the catalog’s AHRI 885-2008 (mineral fiber for
radiated sound) transfer function for the conditions shown in the acoustics table. A different
transfer function could be applied as conditions dictate.
The maximum NC level is NC-40. If the maximum NC level was exceeded, it would have been
necessary to reselect the next larger unit size.

Computer Selection
The advent of personal computers has served to automate many processes that were previously
repetitive and time-consuming. One of those tasks is the proper scheduling, sizing, and selection
of VAV terminal units. Trane has developed a computer program to perform these tasks. The
software is called the Trane Official Product Selection System (TOPSS™).
The TOPSS program will take the user’s input specifications and output the properly sized
VariTrane™ VAV terminal unit along with the specific performance for that size unit.
The program has several required fields, denoted by red shading in the TOPSS program, and many
other optional fields to meet the criteria you have. Required values include maximum and
minimum airflows, control type, and model. If selecting models with reheat, you will be required
to enter information to make that selection also. The user is given the option to look at all the
information for one selection on one screen or as a schedule with the other VAV units on the job.
The user can select single-duct, dual-duct, and fan-powered VAV boxes with the program, as well
as most other Trane products, allowing you to select all your Trane equipment with one software
program.
The program will also calculate sound power data for the selected terminal unit. The user can enter
a maximum individual sound level for each octave band or a maximum NC value. The program will
calculate acoustical data subject to default or user supplied sound attenuation data.
Schedule View: The program has many time-saving features such as: 1) Copy/Paste from
spreadsheets like Microsoft® Excel; 2) Easily arranged fields to match your schedule; and 3) Timesaving templates to store default settings The user can also export the Schedule View to Excel to
modify and put into a CAD drawing as a schedule. Details regarding the program, its operation, and
how to obtain a copy of it are available from your local Trane sales office.

Air Valve Round — The primary air inlet connection is an 18-gage galvanized steel cylinder sized
to fit standard round duct. A multiple-point, averaging flow sensing ring is provided with balancing
taps for measuring +/-5% of unit cataloged airflow.
An airflow-versus-pressure differential calibration chart is provided. The damper blade is
constructed of a closed-cell foam seal that is mechanically locked between two 22-gage galvanized
steel disks. The damper blade assembly is connected to a cast zinc shaft supported by selflubricating bearings. The shaft is cast with a damper position indicator. The valve assembly
includes a mechanical stop to prevent over-stroking. At 4.0 in. wg, air valve leakage does not exceed
1% of cataloged airflow.

Outlet Connection
Slip & Drive Connection—Terminal units come standard with slip & drive connection.
Outlet Plenum/Attenuator—A sheet metal, insulated plenum/attenuator with circular opening(s)
is attached to the discharge of the main unit at the factory. The circular opening(s) are centered on
the unit plenum to accept round ductwork connections.
Outlet Plenum/Attenuator with Balancing Dampers—A sheet metal, insulated plenum/attenuator
with circular opening(s) is factory-connected to the main unit. The circular opening(s) with
balancing damper(s) are centered on the unit plenum to accept round ductwork connections.

Unit Controls Sequence of Operation
Unit controller continuously monitors zone temperature against its setpoint and varies primary
airflow as required to meet zone setpoints. Airflow is limited by minimum and maximum position
setpoints.

Direct Digital Controls
DDC Actuator—Trane 3-wire, 24-VAC, floating-point quarter turn control actuator with linkage
release button. Actuator has a constant drive rate independent of load, a rated torque of 35 in-lb,
a 90-second drive time, and is non-spring return. Travel is terminated by end stops at fully-opened
and -closed positions. An integral magnetic clutch eliminates motor stall.
DDC Actuator - Belimo — LMB24-3-T TN 3-wire, 24 VAC/DC, floating-point, quarter turn actuator
with linkage release button. Actuator has a constant drive rate independent of load, a rated torque
of 45 in-lb, a 95 second drive time, and is non-spring return. Travel is terminated by end stops at
fully-opened and -closed positions. Internal electronic control prevents motor stall when motor
reaches end stops.
Direct Digital Controller—The microprocessor based terminal unit controller provides accurate,
pressure-independent control through the use of a proportional integral control algorithm and
direct digital control technology. The controller, named the Unit Control Module (UCM), monitors
zone temperature setpoints, zone temperature and its rate of change, and valve airflow using a
VAV-PRC011M-EN

77

Dual-Duct VAV Terminal Units

differential pressure signal from the pressure transducer. Additionally, the controller can monitor
either supply duct air temperature or CO2 concentration via appropriate sensors. The controller is
provided in an enclosure with 7/8" (22 mm) knockouts for remote control wiring. A Trane UCM zone
sensor is required.
DDC Zone Sensor—The UCM controller senses zone temperature through a sensing element
located in the zone sensor. In addition to the sensing element, zone sensor options may include an
externally-adjustable setpoint, communications jack for use with a portable edit device, and an
override button to change the individual controller from unoccupied to occupied mode. The
override button has a cancel feature that will return the system to unoccupied. Wired zone sensors
utilize a thermistor to vary the voltage output in response to changes in the zone temperature.
Wiring to the UCM controller must be 18 to 22 awg. twisted pair wiring. The setpoint adjustment
range is 50–88ºF (10–31°C). Depending upon the features available in the model of sensor selected,
the zone sensor may require from a 2-wire to a 5-wire connection. Wireless zone sensors report the
same zone information as wired zone sensors, but do so using radio transmitter technology.
Therefore with wireless, wiring from the zone sensor to the UCM is unnecessary.
Digital Display Zone Sensor with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)—The digital display zone sensor
contains a sensing element, which sends a signal to the UCM. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
displays setpoint or space temperature. Sensor buttons allow the user to adjust setpoints, and
allow space temperature readings to be turned on or off. The digital display zone sensor also
includes a communication jack, for use with a portable edit device, and an override button to
change the UCM from unoccupied to occupied. The override button has a cancel feature, which
returns the system to unoccupied mode.
System Communications—The Controller is designed to send and receive data from a Tracer™ SC
or other Trane controllers. Current unit status conditions and setpoints may be monitored and/or
edited via this data communication feature. The network type is a twisted wire pair shielded serial
communication.

Pneumatic Controls
Normally-Open Actuator—Pneumatic 3 to 8 psig (20 to 55 kPa) spring-range pneumatic actuator.
Normally-Closed Actuator—Pneumatic 8 to 13 psig (55 to 90 kPa) spring-range pneumatic actuator.
3011 Pneumatic Volume Regulator (PVR)—The regulator is a thermostat reset velocity controller,
which provides consistent air delivery within 5% of cataloged flow down to 18% or less of unit
cataloged cfm, independent of changes in system static pressure. Factory-calibrated, fieldadjustable setpoints for minimum and maximum flows. Average total unit bleed rate, excluding
thermostat, is 28.8 scim at 20 psig (7.87 mL/min at 138 kPa) supply.
3501 Pneumatic Volume Regulator (PVR)—The 3501 regulator is a linear reset volume controller.
This PVR is used to maintain a constant volume of airflow from the dual-duct unit when constant
volume control is used. Average total unit bleed rate, excluding thermostat, is 43.2 scim at 20 psig
(11.8 mL/min at 138 kPa) supply.

Control Options
Transformer—The 50-VA transformer is factory-installed in an enclosure with 7/8" (2 mm)
knockouts to provide 24 VAC for controls.
Disconnect Switch – A toggle disconnect disengages primary power to the terminal.
Fuse – Optional fuse is factory-installed in the primary voltage hot leg.

DDC Controls
Tracer UC400 and UC210 Programmable BACnet Controllers
The Tracer™ UC400 and UC210 controllers are programmable general purpose BACnet®,
microprocessor-based, Direct Digital Controllers (DDC). When factory installed on Trane (Variable
Air Volume) VAV terminal units, they are factory downloaded with appropriate VAV programs and
configuration settings. Trane VAV units have been made with either pneumatic, analog electronic,
or microprocessor controls (DDC VAV). UC400 is not an option on Dual Duct.
The Tracer UC400 or UC210 controller can be configured from the factory with three different
application programs: Space Temperature Control (STC), Ventilation Flow Control (VFC), and Flow
Tracking Control (FTC).
The Tracer UC400 or UC210 controller programmed for STC modulates a VAV's damper blade
based on a zone temperature, measured airflow, and setpoints to continuously control conditioned
air delivery to the space. The volume of incoming air is monitored and the damper adjusts to
provide accurate control independent of the duct pressure. The damper modulates between
operator setpoints depending on space conditions. Additionally, fan and heat outputs may be
energized depending on the application.
The Tracer UC400 or UC210 controller configured for VFC can be applied to a VAV terminal and used
to temper cold outdoor air (OA) that is brought into a building for ventilation purposes. The
tempered air is intended to supply an air-handling unit (AHU), which provides comfort control to
the zones it is serving. The VAV terminal supplies the correct amount of ventilation air, and when
reheat is added, tempers the ventilation air to reduce the load on the air handler by sensing the
discharge air temperature of the VAV unit and controlling its long-term average to the discharge
air temperature setpoint.
The Tracer UC400 or UC210 controller can be configured for FTC and has two VAV units with Tracer
UC400 or UC210 controllers working together to provide flow tracking control. One Tracer UC400
or UC210 controller is configured from the factory with the Space temperature program and the
other is downloaded with the FTC program. The STC airflow output is bound to the flow tracking
controller airflow setpoint input. The flow tracking controller adds the configured airflow tracking
offset (positive or negative) to the airflow setpoint (communicated airflow setpoint) and controls
the airflow to this setpoint.
The Tracer UC400 or UC210 controller is BTL compliant with BACnet, an open standard building
automation protocol. It meets the Application Specific Controller (ASC) profile per ASHRAE 1352004. This allows the Tracer UC400 controller to integrate with other BACnet systems.
Available Inputs
Inputs include a twisted/shielded communication link, zone sensor, duct temperature sensors
(optional), Occupancy Sensor (optional), Discharge Air Temperature (DAT) and/or Supply Air
Temperature (SAT), CO2 sensor, and 24 VAC power. In addition to the points used for the VAV
application, the spare inputs and outputs on the Tracer UC400 controller may be used for ancillary
control, which can be programmed using Tracer TU Tracer Graphical Programming 2 (TGP2).
Note: For more information on using spare points, see BAS-SVX20*-EN Tracer UC400
Programmable Controller Installation, Operation, and Maintenance.

General Features and Benefits
Assured Accuracy

VAV-PRC011M-EN

•

Proportional-plus-integral control loop algorithm for determining required airflow needed to
control room temperature. Airflow is limited by active minimum and maximum airflow
setpoints.

•

Pressure-independent (PI) operation that automatically adjusts valve position to maintain
required airflow. In certain low-flow situations or in cases where the flow measurement has
failed, the DDC controller will operate in a pressure-dependent (PD) mode of operation.

79

DDC Controls

•

When combined with the patented Trane Flow ring and pressure transducer, flow is repeatable
to +/- 5% accuracy across the Pressure Independent (PI) flow range. (See Valve/Controller
Airflow Guidelines section).

•

Improved 2-Point Air Balancing is available – Assures optimized flow-sensing accuracy across
the operating range. This provides a more accurate airflow balancing method when compared
to typical single-point flow correction air balancing.

•

Analog input resolution of +/- 1/8°F within the comfort range maximizes zone temperature
control yielding excellent comfort control.

Reliable Operation
•

Built for life – Trane products are designed to stand the test of time, with a proven design life
that exceeds 20 years.

•

Fully factory tested – fully screened and configured at the factory. All features are tested
including fan and reheat stage energization, air valve modulation, and controller inputs and
outputs.

Safe Operation
•

All components, including the controller, pressure transducer, transformer, etc. are mounted
in a NEMA 1 sheet metal enclosure and are tested as an assembly to UL1995 standards. The
result is a rugged and safe VAV, controller, and thus, overall unit.

•

When in PI-mode, EH is disabled when the sensed flow is below the minimum required.

•

HW coil VAV units in ventilation flow control (VFC) have a Freeze protection algorithm to protect
the water coil and the internal space from water damage. This is accomplished by driving the
water valve to maximum position on alarm conditions.

System-Level Optimization
Trane controllers are designed to integrate into Trane Tracer™ Building Automation Systems and
leverage clear and clean unit-controller related data for system level control decisions. Integrating
a Trane VV550 controller into a Tracer SC Control System provides the next step in building system
control.
Specifically, system-level decisions on how to operate all components can be made. Energy
efficient optimization strategies like Static Pressure Optimization, Ventilation Reset, and CO2
Demand-controlled Ventilation can be employed with the simple press of a button. The end-result
is the most efficient and reliable building control system available.

Simplified Installation
Factory Commissioned Quality – All Trane DDC VAV controllers are factory-commissioned. This
means that the DDC boards are powered and run-tested with your specific sequence parameters.
They are connected to a communication link to make sure that information and diagnostic data
function properly. Before any VariTrane™ VAV unit ships they must pass a rigorous quality control
procedure. You can be assured that a Trane VAV unit with Trane DDC VAV controls will work right
out of the crate.
Zone sensor air balance – When applied to a Trane zone sensor with thumb-wheel and on/cancel
buttons, a balancing contractor can drive the primary air valve to maximum or minimum airflow
from the sensor to determine the point of calibration to be used (maximum will result in optimum
performance). The flow reading can then be calibrated from the sensor, without the use of
additional service tools. (Non-LCD versions)
Tenant-Finish Heat Mode – In some office projects, the building is being constructed as tenants are
being identified. Tenant-finish heat mode is designed for applications when a given floor has not
been occupied. The main AHU system is used for heat and because the internal furnishings are not
complete, the sensors have not been installed. In this case, the primary valve drives open using

80

VAV-PRC011M-EN

the heat of the main AHU to keep plumbing lines from freezing. When available, the operation of
the VAV unit fan (series or parallel) remains unaffected.

Controller Flexibility
•

24 VAC binary input that can be configured as a generic input or as occupancy input. When the
DDC controller is operating with a Tracer ™ SC, the status of the input is provided to Tracer for
its action. In stand-alone operation and when configured for an occupancy input, the input will
control occupancy status of the DDC controller.

•

Auxiliary temperature analog input configured for an auxiliary temperature sensor. When
sensor is mounted in the supply air duct, the value of the input is used as status-only by Tracer
SC if Tracer SC is providing a supply air temperature to the DDC controller. Otherwise, the input
will be used for determining heating/cooling control action of the VAV unit. When the auxiliary
temperature sensor is located in the discharge of the unit, and attached to a Trane Tracer SC
BAS, additional test sequencing and reporting is available to maximize VAV system capabilities
and simplify system commissioning.

•

Dual-duct support with two DDC controllers. One DDC controller controls the cooling air valve
and the other controller controls the heating air valve. With constant-volume sequences, the
discharge air volume is held constant by controlling discharge air volume with the heating
Controller.

•

Tracer™ UC400 or UC210 Programmable BACnet® Controller certified performance ensures
that a Trane VAV with controller will provide state-of-the-art, consistent open communication
protocol for integration with the industry’s latest (Non-Trane) building automation control
systems, including Johnson Control, Andover, Siemens, Honeywell, etc.

•

CO2 demand controlled ventilation enables a HVAC system to adjust ventilation flow based on
the measured CO2 concentration in the zone. Trane demand controlled ventilation strategies
are pre-defined for simplified application and can be easily customized to meet the needs of a
specific system.

Trane DDC VAV Controller Logic with UC210 or UC400 Controls
Control Logic
Direct Digital Control (DDC) controllers are today’s industry standard. DDC controllers share
system-level data to optimize system performance (including changing ventilation requirements,
system static pressures, supply air temperatures, etc.). Variables available via a simple twistedshielded wire pair include occupied/unoccupied status, minimum and maximum airflow setpoints,
zone temperature and temperature setpoints, air valve position, airflow cfm, fan status (on or off),
fan operation mode (parallel or series), reheat status (on or off), VAV unit type, air valve size,
temperature correction offsets, flow correction values, ventilation fraction, etc.
With the advent of Tracer UC400 open protocol, the most reliable VAV controller is now available
for ANY system. Gone are the days of being locked into a single supplier. Trane DDC controllers
provide Trane-designed solid-state electronics intended specifically for VAV applications including:
1. Space Temperature Control
2. Ventilation Flow Control (100% outside air applications)
3. Flow Tracking Space Pressurization Control (New feature)

Space Temperature Control
Space temperature control applications are where Trane emerged as an industry leader in quality
and reliability. This did not occur overnight and has continued to improve as our controller and
control logic has improved over time. STC employs controller logic designed to modulate the
supply airstream and associated reheat (either local or remote) to exactly match the load
requirements of the space.
Additionally, minimum and maximum airflow and specific controller sequence requirements are
pre-programmed to ensure that appropriate ventilation standards are consistently maintained.
When connected to a Trane Tracer™ SC control system, trend logging, remote alarming, etc. are
available to fully utilize the power and capabilities of your systems.

General Operation-Cooling
In cooling control action, the DDC controller matches primary airflow to cooling load. The DDC
controller will automatically change over to heating control action if the supply air temperature is
above a configured/editable setpoint. When the supply air temperature is less than 10 degrees
below this setpoint, the controller will automatically switch to cooling control action. The DDC
controller first chooses the Tracer SC -provided supply air temperature value to use for auto
changeover. If this is not available, it uses the temperature provided by the optional auxiliary
temperature sensor (must be installed for inlet temperature monitoring). If this is also not available,
it uses the heating/cooling mode assigned by Tracer SC or the DDC controller’s service tool.

General Operation-Heating and Reheat
In heating control action, the DDC controller matches primary airflow to heating load. The DDC
controller will automatically change over to heating control action if the supply air temperature is
above a configured/editable setpoint. When the supply air temperature is less than 10 degrees
below this setpoint, the controller will automatically switch to cooling control action. The DDC
controller first chooses the Tracer SC-provided supply air temperature value to use for auto
changeover. If this is not available, it uses the temperature provided by the optional auxiliary
temperature sensor (must be installed for inlet temperature monitoring). If this is also not available,
it uses the heating/cooling mode assigned by Tracer SC or the DDC controller’s service tool.
When heat is added to the primary air, the air is considered reheated. Reheat can be either local
(integral to the VAV unit in the form of an electric coil or hot water coil) or remote (typically existing
82

VAV-PRC011M-EN

DDC Controls

wall fin radiation, convector, etc.) or any combination of local and remote. The operating
characteristics of the four basic types of VariTrane DDC terminal reheat are discussed.

Single-Duct: On/Off Hot Water Reheat
Three stages of on/off hot water reheat are available. Two-position water valves complete the HW
reheat system and are either fully opened or fully closed. The heating minimum airflow setpoint
is enforced during reheat.
Stage 1 energizes when the space temperature is at or below the heating setpoint. When the zone
temperature rises above the active heating setpoint by 0.5°F (0.28°C), stage 1 is de-energized. Stage
2 energizes when the space temperature is 1°F (0.56°C) or more below the active heating setpoint,
and is de-energized when the space temperature is 0.5°F (0.28°C) below the active heating setpoint.
Stage 3 energizes when the zone temperature is 2°F (1.11°C) or more below the active heating
setpoint, and de-energizes when the space temperature is 1.5°F (0.83°C) below the active heating
setpoint. When reheat is de-energized, the cooling minimum airflow setpoint is enforced.

Single-Duct: Proportional Hot Water Reheat
Proportional hot water reheat uses 3-wire, floating-point-actuator technology.
When the space temperature drops below the active heating setpoint, the air valve open to the
Airflow Setpoint Reset Minimum Local Heat and the reheat valve modulates to maintain space
temperature at the active heating setpoint. Control of the water valve uses a separate proportional
plus integral control loop, and its position is dependent on the degree that the space temperature
is below the active heating setpoint and the amount of time that the space temperature has been
below the active heating setpoint.
If the discharge air temperature reaches the Discharge Air Temperature Design Setpoint, the air
valve opens further and modulates between Airflow Setpoint Reset Minimum Local Heat and
Airflow Setpoint Reset Maximum Local Heat to maintain space temperature at the active heating
setpoint, while the water valve modulates to maintain discharge air temperature at the Discharge
Air Temperature Design Setpoint. If the air valve reaches Airflow Setpoint Reset Maximum Local
Heat, the water valve opens further and modulates to maintain space temperature at the active
heating setpoint, while the air valve remains at Airflow Setpoint Reset Maximum Local Heat.
An additional on/off remote heat output is available and energized when the water valve is driven
100% open and de-energized when the water valve reaches 50% open.
In the event that the DAT sensor fails, or is not connected, when the space temperature drops below
the active heating setpoint, the air valve open to the Airflow Setpoint Minimum Local Heat and the
water valve modulates to maintain space temperature at the active heating setpoint.
When reheat is de-energized, the cooling Airflow Minimum Setpoint is enforced.

Single-Duct: On/Off Electric Reheat
One, two, or three stages of staged electric reheat are available. The heating minimum airflow
setpoint is enforced during reheat.
Stage 1 is energized when the space temperature falls below the active heating setpoint and
minimum airflow requirements are met. When the zone temperature rises above the active heating
setpoint by 0.5°F (0.28°C), stage 1 is de-energized. Stage 2 energizes when the space temperature
is 1°F (0.56°C) or more below the active heating setpoint, and is de-energized when the space
temperature is 0.5°F (0.28°C) below the active heating setpoint. Stage 3 energizes when the zone
temperature is 2°F (1.11°C) or more below the active heating setpoint, and de-energizes when the
space temperature is 1.5°F (0.83°C) below the active heating setpoint. When reheat is de-energized,
the cooling minimum airflow setpoint is enforced.

Single-Duct: Pulse-Width Modulation of Electric Heat
One to three stages of pulse-width modulation of electric heat are available. Energizing for a
portion of a three-minute time period modulates the electric heater. This allows for closer matching

VAV-PRC011M-EN

83

DDC Controls

of heating capacity to the heating load, resulting in more stable temperature control. The heating
minimum airflow setpoint is enforced during reheat.
The amount of reheat supplied is dependent on both the degree that the space temperature is
below the active heating setpoint and the time that the space temperature has been below the
active heating setpoint. If not already off, reheat de-energizes when the zone temperature rises
more than 0.5°F (0.28°C) above the heating setpoint.
The Stage 1 “on” time is proportional to the amount of reheat required. For example, when 50%
of stage 1 capacity is required, reheat is on for 90 seconds and off for 90 seconds. When 75% of
stage 1 capacity is required, reheat is on for 135 seconds and off for 45 seconds. When 100% of
stage 1 capacity is required, reheat is on continuously.
Stage 2 uses the same “on” time logic as stage 1 listed above, except stage 1 is always energized.
For example, when 75% of unit capacity is required, stage 1 is energized continuously, and stage
2 is on for 90 seconds and off for 90 seconds. When reheat is de-energized, the cooling minimum
airflow setpoint is activated. Caution: Care should be taken when sizing electric heaters. Discharge
air temperatures should not exceed between 100°F and 110°F, with a temperature between 85°F and
95°F being optimal for space temperature control. If too hot of air is delivered to the space through
ceiling-mounted diffusers, and then leaves the space through ceiling-mounted return-air grilles,
the buoyancy of this hot air will tend to cause some of the air to bypass from the supply-air diffusers
to the return-air grilles, resulting in uneven air distribution and possible comfort complaints. To
prevent stratification, the warm air temperature should not be more than 20°F (6.7°C) above zone
air temperature. (See Diffuser, “D”, section for additional application details).

Single-Duct: SCR Modulation of Electric Heat
SCR is a heat controller that controls a single stage electric heater proportional to an analog signal.
The analog output signal is proportional to the amount of reheat required. Typically with SCR heat,
the heater is turned on and off on a very short cycle time to provide proportional control of heat
output. This allows for closer matching of heating capacity to the heating load, resulting in more
stable temperature control.
When the space temperature drops below the active heating setpoint, the air valve open to the
Airflow Setpoint Reset Minimum Local Heat and the SCR controls the electric heater to maintain
space temperature at the active heating setpoint. SCR control is dependent on the degree that the
space temperature is below the active heating setpoint and the amount of time that the space
temperature has been below the active heating setpoint.
If the discharge air temperature reaches the Discharge Air Temperature Design Setpoint, the air
valve opens further and modulates between Airflow Setpoint Reset Minimum Local Heat and
Airflow Setpoint Reset Maximum Local Heat to maintain space temperature at the active heating
setpoint, while the SCR controls the electric heater to maintain discharge air temperature at the
Discharge Air Temperature Design Setpoint. If the air valve reaches Airflow Setpoint Reset
Maximum Local Heat, the SCR controls the electric heater to maintain space temperature at the
active heating setpoint, while the air valve remains at Airflow Setpoint Reset Maximum Local Heat.
Reheat de-energizes when the space temperature rises more than 0.5°F (0.28°C) above the heating
setpoint. When reheat is de-energized, the cooling Airflow Minimum Setpoint is enforced.

Ventilation Control
Ventilation control enhances the usability of Trane DDC controllers in more select applications that
require measurement of outside air (ventilation). Ventilation control is designed for use with
constant volume single-duct VAV units which modulate the primary damper and associated reheat
to maintain an average constant discharge air temperature. The reheat is modulated to provide
discharge air temperature consistent with AHU supply air temperature (typically 50º–60ºF). This is
critical to ensure that ASHRAE Standard 62.1 ventilation standards are attained, consistently
maintained, and monitored. When connected to a Tracer™ building automation control system,
trend logging, remote alarming, etc. is available. In fact, the Trane Tracer Control System can

DDC Controls

provide unmatched “peace of mind” by calling/paging the appropriate person(s) when specific
alarms occur.

Flow Tracking Control
This enhanced VAV DDC controller feature allows two Trane VV550 controllers to coordinate
modulation simultaneously. This allows a specific CFM offset to be maintained. The CFM offset
provides pressurization control of an occupied space, while maintaining the comfort and energy
savings of a VAV system. A flow tracking system in a given zone consists of a standard Space
Comfort Control VAV (see B) unit plus a single-duct, cooling-only, exhaust VAV unit (see C). As the
supply VAV unit modulates the supply airflow through the air valve to maintain space comfort, the
exhaust box modulates a similar amount to maintain the required CFM differential. This is a simple,
reliable means of pressurization control, which meets the requirements of the majority of zone
pressurization control applications. Typical applications include:
•

School and University laboratories

•

Industrial laboratories

•

Hospital operating rooms

•

Hospital patient rooms

•

Research and Development facilities

•

And many more…

The CFM offset is assured and can be monitored and documented when connected to a Trane
Tracer Building Automation System. Flow Tracking Control is designed to meet most pressurization
control projects. If an application calls for pressure control other than flow tracking, contact your
local Trane Sales Office for technical support.

Trane LonMark™ DDC VAV Controller (VV550)
This LonMark™ certified controller uses the Space Comfort Controller (SCC) profile to exchange
information over a LonTalk™ network. Networks with LonMark certified controllers provide the
latest open protocol technology. Being LonMark certified guarantees that owners and end-users
have the capability of adding Trane products to other “open” systems and relieves owners of the
pressure and expense of being locked into a single DDC supplier. The Trane VV550 VAV controller
with VariTrane VAV units can be applied to more than just Trane systems. When a customer buys
a Trane VAV unit with Trane DDC controller, they take advantage of:
•

Factory-commissioned quality

•

Knowing they have selected the most reliable VAV controllers in the industry

•

Trane as a single source to solve any VAV equipment, or system-related issues

•

The most educated and thorough factory service technicians in the controls industry

•

Over 150 local parts centers throughout North America that can provide what you need, when
you need it.

Don’t let your existing controls supplier lock you out of the most recognized name in VAV system
control in the industry. Specify Trane open-protocol systems.
The features of this controller are explained below.

General Features and Benefits
Assured Accuracy
•

Proportional-plus-integral control loop algorithm for determining required airflow needed to
control room temperature. Airflow is limited by active minimum and maximum airflow
setpoints.

•

Pressure-independent (PI) operation that automatically adjusts valve position to maintain
required airflow. In certain low-flow situations or in cases where the flow measurement has
failed, the DDC controller will operate in a pressure-dependent (PD) mode of operation.

•

When combined with the patented Trane Flow ring and pressure transducer, flow is repeatable
to +/- 5% accuracy across the Pressure Independent (PI) flow range. (See Valve/Controller
Airflow Guidelines section).

•

Improved 2-Point Air Balancing is available – Assures optimized flow-sensing accuracy across
the operating range. This provides a more accurate airflow balancing method when compared
to typical single-point flow correction air balancing.

•

Analog input resolution of +/- 1/8°F within the comfort range maximizes zone temperature
control yielding excellent comfort control.

Reliable Operation
•

Built for life – Trane products are designed to stand the test of time, with a proven design life
that exceeds 20 years.

•

Fully factory tested – fully screened and configured at the factory. All features are tested
including fan and reheat stage energization, air valve modulation, and controller inputs and
outputs.

Safe Operation

88

•

All components, including the controller, pressure transducer, transformer, etc. are mounted
in a NEMA 1 sheet metal enclosure and are tested as an assembly to UL1995 standards. The
result is a rugged and safe VAV, controller, and thus, overall unit.

•

When in PI-mode, EH is disabled when the sensed flow is below the minimum required.

VAV-PRC011M-EN

DDC Controls

•

HW coil VAV units in ventilation flow control (VFC) have a Freeze protection algorithm to protect
the water coil and the internal space from water damage. This is accomplished by driving the
water valve to maximum position on alarm conditions.

System-Level Optimization
Trane controllers are designed to integrate into Trane Tracer SC and leverage clear and clean unitcontroller related data for system level control decisions. Integrating a Trane VV550 controller into
a Tracer SC Control System provides the next step in building system control.
Specifically, system-level decisions on how to operate all components can be made. Energy
efficient optimization strategies like Static Pressure Optimization, Ventilation Reset, and CO2
Demand-controlled Ventilation can be employed with the simple press of a button. The end-result
is the most efficient and reliable building control system available.

Simplified Installation
Factory Commissioned Quality – All Trane DDC VAV controllers are factory-commissioned. This
means that the DDC boards are powered and run-tested with your specific sequence parameters.
They are connected to a communication link to make sure that information and diagnostic data
function properly. Before any VariTrane VAV unit ships they must pass a rigorous quality control
procedure. You can be assured that a Trane VAV unit with Trane DDC VAV controls will work right
out of the crate.
Zone sensor air balance – When applied to a Trane zone sensor with thumb-wheel and on/cancel
buttons, a balancing contractor can drive the primary air valve to maximum or minimum airflow
from the sensor to determine the point of calibration to be used (maximum will result in optimum
performance). The flow reading can then be calibrated from the sensor, without the use of
additional service tools. (Non-LCD versions)
Tenant-Finish Heat Mode – In some office projects, the building is being constructed as tenants are
being identified. Tenant-finish heat mode is designed for applications when a given floor has not
been occupied. The main AHU system is used for heat and because the internal furnishings are not
complete, the sensors have not been installed. In this case, the primary valve drives open using
the heat of the main AHU to keep plumbing lines from freezing. When available, the operation of
the VAV unit fan (series or parallel) remains unaffected.

Controller Flexibility

VAV-PRC011M-EN

•

24 VAC binary input that can be configured as a generic input or as occupancy input. When the
DDC controller is operating with Tracer SC, the status of the input is provided to Tracer for its
action. In stand-alone operation and when configured for an occupancy input, the input will
control occupancy status of the DDC controller.

•

Auxiliary temperature analog input configured for an auxiliary temperature sensor. When
sensor is mounted in the supply air duct, the value of the input is used as status-only by Tracer
SC if Tracer SC is providing a supply air temperature to the DDC controller. Otherwise, the input
will be used for determining heating/cooling control action of the VAV unit. When the auxiliary
temperature sensor is located in the discharge of the unit, and attached to a Trane SC BAS,
additional test sequencing and reporting is available to maximize VAV system capabilities and
simplify system commissioning.

•

Dual-duct support with two DDC controllers. One DDC controller controls the cooling air valve
and the other controller controls the heating air valve. With constant-volume sequences, the
discharge air volume is held constant by controlling discharge air volume with the heating
Controller.

•

LonMark certified performance ensures that a Trane VAV with controller will provide state-ofthe-art, consistent open communication protocol for integration with the industry’s latest (NonTrane) building automation control systems, including Johnson Control, Andover, Siemens,
Honeywell, etc.

89

DDC Controls

•

CO2 demand controlled ventilation enables a HVAC system to adjust ventilation flow based on
the current CO2 concentration in the zone. Trane demand controlled ventilation strategies are
pre-defined for simplified application and can be easily customized to meet the needs of a
specific system.

Trane DDC VAV Controller Logic with VV550 Controls
Control Logic
Direct Digital Control (DDC) controllers are today’s industry standard. DDC controllers share
system-level data to optimize system performance (including changing ventilation requirements,
system static pressures, supply air temperatures, etc.). Variables available via a simple twistedshielded wire pair include occupied/unoccupied status, minimum and maximum airflow setpoints,
zone temperature and temperature setpoints, air valve position, airflow cfm, fan status (on or off),
fan operation mode (parallel or series), reheat status (on or off), VAV unit type, air valve size,
temperature correction offsets, flow correction values, ventilation fraction, etc.
With the advent of LonMark open protocol, the most reliable VAV controller is now available for
ANY system. Gone are the days of being locked into a single supplier. Trane DDC controllers
provide Trane-designed solid-state electronics intended specifically for VAV applications including:

Space Temperature Control
Space temperature control applications are where Trane emerged as an industry leader in quality
and reliability. This did not occur overnight and has continued to improve as our controller and
control logic has improved over time. STC employs controller logic designed to modulate the
supply airstream and associated reheat (either local or remote) to exactly match the load
requirements of the space.
Additionally, minimum and maximum airflow and specific controller sequence requirements are
pre-programmed to ensure that appropriate ventilation standards are consistently maintained.
When connected to a Trane Tracer SC control system, trend logging, remote alarming, etc. are
available to fully utilize the power and capabilities of your systems.

General Operation-Cooling
In cooling control action, the DDC controller matches primary airflow to cooling load. The DDC
controller will automatically change over to heating control action if the supply air temperature is
above a configured/editable setpoint. When the supply air temperature is less than 10 degrees
below this setpoint, the controller will automatically switch to cooling control action. The DDC
controller first chooses the Tracer SC -provided supply air temperature value to use for auto
changeover. If this is not available, it uses the temperature provided by the optional auxiliary
temperature sensor (must be installed for inlet temperature monitoring). If this is also not available,
it uses the heating/cooling mode assigned by Tracer SC or the DDC controller’s service tool.

General Operation-Heating and Reheat
In heating control action, the DDC controller matches primary airflow to heating load. The DDC
controller will automatically change over to heating control action if the supply air temperature is
above a configured/editable setpoint. When the supply air temperature is less than 10 degrees
below this setpoint, the controller will automatically switch to cooling control action. The DDC
controller first chooses the Tracer SC -provided supply air temperature value to use for auto
changeover. If this is not available, it uses the temperature provided by the optional auxiliary
temperature sensor (must be installed for inlet temperature monitoring). If this is also not available,
it uses the heating/cooling mode assigned by Tracer SC or the DDC controller’s service tool.
When heat is added to the primary air, the air is considered reheated. Reheat can be either local
(integral to the VAV unit in the form of an electric coil or hot water coil) or remote (typically existing
wall fin radiation, convector, etc.) or any combination of local and remote. The operating
characteristics of the four basic types of VariTrane DDC terminal reheat are discussed.

Single-Duct: On/Off Hot Water Reheat
Three stages of on/off hot water reheat are available. Two-position water valves complete the HW
reheat system and are either fully opened or fully closed. The heating minimum airflow setpoint
is enforced during reheat.
Stage 1 energizes when the space temperature is at or below the heating setpoint. When the zone
temperature rises above the active heating setpoint by 0.5°F (0.28°C), stage 1 is de-energized. Stage
2 energizes when the space temperature is 1°F (0.56°C) or more below the active heating setpoint,
and is de-energized when the space temperature is 0.5°F (0.28°C) below the active heating setpoint.
Stage 3 energizes when the zone temperature is 2°F (1.11°C) or more below the active heating
setpoint, and de-energizes when the space temperature is 1.5°F (0.83°C) below the active heating
setpoint. When reheat is de-energized, the cooling minimum airflow setpoint is enforced.

Single-Duct: Proportional Hot Water Reheat
Proportional hot water reheat uses 3-wire, floating-point-actuator technology.
The heating minimum airflow setpoint is enforced during reheat. The water valve opens as space
temperature drops below the heating setpoint. A separate reheat proportional-plus-integral
control loop from that controlling airflow into the room is enforced.
Water valve position is dependent on the degree that the space temperature is below the active
heating setpoint and the time that the space temperature has been below the active heating
setpoint. If not already closed, the water valve fully closes when the zone temperature rises above
the active heating setpoint by 0.5 °F (0.28 °C).
An additional on/off remote heat output is available and energized when the proportional value is
driven 10% open and de-energized when the proportional valve reaches 50% open.
When reheat is de-energized, the cooling minimum airflow setpoint is enforced. Again, these
reheat devices can be either local or remote.

VAV-PRC011M-EN

91

DDC Controls

Single-Duct: On/Off Electric Reheat
One, two, or three stages of staged electric reheat are available. The heating minimum airflow
setpoint is enforced during reheat.
Stage 1 is energized when the space temperature falls below the active heating setpoint and
minimum airflow requirements are met. When the zone temperature rises above the active heating
setpoint by 0.5°F (0.28°C), stage 1 is de-energized. Stage 2 energizes when the space temperature
is 1°F (0.56°C) or more below the active heating setpoint, and is de-energized when the space
temperature is 0.5°F (0.28°C) below the active heating setpoint. Stage 3 energizes when the zone
temperature is 2°F (1.11°C) or more below the active heating setpoint, and de-energizes when the
space temperature is 1.5°F (0.83°C) below the active heating setpoint. When reheat is de-energized,
the cooling minimum airflow setpoint is enforced.

Single-Duct: Pulse-Width Modulation of Electric Heat
One to three stages of pulse-width modulation of electric heat are available. Energizing for a
portion of a three-minute time period modulates the electric heater. This allows for closer matching
of heating capacity to the heating load, resulting in more stable temperature control. The heating
minimum airflow setpoint is enforced during reheat.
The amount of reheat supplied is dependent on both the degree that the space temperature is
below the active heating setpoint and the time that the space temperature has been below the
active heating setpoint. If not already off, reheat de-energizes when the zone temperature rises
more than 0.5°F (0.28°C) above the heating setpoint.
The Stage 1 “on” time is proportional to the amount of reheat required. For example, when 50%
of stage 1 capacity is required, reheat is on for 90 seconds and off for 90 seconds. When 75% of
stage 1 capacity is required, reheat is on for 135 seconds and off for 45 seconds. When 100% of
stage 1 capacity is required, reheat is on continuously.
Stage 2 uses the same “on” time logic as stage 1 listed above, except stage 1 is always energized.
For example, when 75% of unit capacity is required, stage 1 is energized continuously, and stage
2 is on for 90 seconds and off for 90 seconds. When reheat is de-energized, the cooling minimum
airflow setpoint is activated. Caution: Care should be taken when sizing electric heaters. Discharge
air temperatures should not exceed between 100°F and 110°F, with a temperature between 85°F and
95°F being optimal for space temperature control. If too hot of air is delivered to the space through
ceiling-mounted diffusers, and then leaves the space through ceiling-mounted return-air grilles,
the buoyancy of this hot air will tend to cause some of the air to bypass from the supply-air diffusers
to the return-air grilles, resulting in uneven air distribution and possible comfort complaints. To
prevent stratification, the warm air temperature should not be more than 20°F (6.7°C) above zone
air temperature. (See Diffuser, “D”, section for additional application details).

Ventilation Control
Ventilation control enhances the usability of Trane DDC controllers in more select applications that
require measurement of outside air (ventilation). Ventilation control is designed for use with
constant volume single-duct VAV units which modulate the primary damper and associated reheat
to maintain an average constant discharge air temperature. The reheat is modulated to provide
discharge air temperature consistent with AHU supply air temperature (typically 50º–60ºF). This is
critical to ensure that ASHRAE Standard 62.1 Ventilation standards are attained, consistently

The controller monitors zone temperature setpoints, zone temperature and its rate of change and
valve airflow (via flow ring differential pressure). The controller also accepts an auxiliary duct
temperature sensor input or a supply air temperature value from Tracer™ SC. Staged electric heat,
pulse width modulated electric heat, proportional hot water heat or on/off hot water heat control
are provided when required. The control board operates using 24-VAC power. The Trane LONMARK
DDC-UCM is also a member of the Trane Integrated Comfort™ systems (ICS) family of products.
When used with a Trane Tracer SC or other Trane controllers, zone grouping and unit diagnostic
information can be obtained. Also part of ICS is the factory-commissioning of parameters specified
by the engineer (see “Factory-installed vs. Factory-commissioned,” p. 10 for more details).

Direct Digital Controller—Unit Control Module (UCM4)
The Trane direct digital controller Unit Control
Module (DDC-UCM) is a microprocessor-based
terminal unit with non-volatile memory which
provides accurate airflow and room temperature
control of Trane VAV air terminal units. The UCM can
operate in a pressure-independent or a pressuredependent mode and uses a proportional plus
integral control algorithm. The controller monitors
zone temperature setpoints, zone temperature and its
rate of change and valve airflow (via flow ring
differential pressure).
The controller also accepts an auxiliary duct temperature sensor input or a supply air temperature
value from Tracer™ SC. Staged electric heat, pulse width modulated electric heat, proportional hot
water heat or on/off hot water heat control are provided when required. The control board operates
using 24-VAC power. The Trane DDC-UCM is a member of the Trane Integrated Comfort™ systems
(ICS) family of products. When used with a Trane Tracer SC building management controller or
other Trane controllers, zone grouping and unit diagnostic information can be obtained. Also part
of ICS is the factory-commissioning of parameters specified by the engineer (see “Factory-installed
vs. Factory-commissioned,” p. 10 for more details).

Trane DDCVAV Controller Logic - UCM 4
DDC controllers are today’s industry standard. DDC controllers provide system-level data used to
optimize system performance. Variables such as occupied/unoccupied status, minimum and
maximum airflow setpoints, temperature and temperature setpoints, valve position, fan status (on
or off, and mode of operation: series or parallel), reheat status (on or off), box type and air valve
size, temperature correction offsets, flow correction values, ventilation fraction, etc. are available
on a simple twisted-shielded wire pair.
Trane DDC controllers provide Trane-designed, solid-state electronics intended specifically for VAV
temperature control in space comfort applications. DDC control capabilities include:

98

•

Proportional plus integral control loop algorithm for determining required airflow needed to
control room temperature. Airflow is limited by active minimum and maximum airflow
setpoints.

•

Pressure-independent (PI) operation, which automatically adjusts valve position to maintain
required airflow. In certain low-flow situations or in cases where the flow measurement has
failed, the DDC controller will operate in a pressure-dependent (PD) mode of operation.

•

Cooling and heating control action of air valve. In cooling control action, the DDC controller
matches cooling airflow to cooling load. In heating control action, the DDC controller matches
the heating airflow to control heating load. The DDC controller will automatically change over
to cooling control action if the supply air temperature is below the room temperature and will
automatically change over to heating control action if the supply air temperature is 10°F or more
above the room temperature. If the supply air temperature is between the room temperature
and the room temperature plus 10°F, then the DDC controller will provide the active minimum
airflow. The DDC controller first chooses the Tracer™ SC -supplied supply air temperature value
to use for auto changeover. If this is not available, it uses the temperature provided by the
optional auxiliary temperature sensor. If this is also not available, it uses the heating/cooling
mode assigned by Tracer SC or the DDC controller’s service tool (Everyware™or Rover™ V4).

•

Multiple reheat control options including staged electric, staged hot-water (normally on or
normally off), proportional hot-water, slow pulsed width modulation, electric, and SCR electric.
Modulating reheat options utilize a separate reheat proportional-plus-integral control loop
from that controlling airflow into the room. Staged reheat options utilize a control algorithm
based on heating setpoint and room temperature.

•

24 VAC binary input that can be configured as a generic input or as occupancy input. When the
DDC controller is operation with Tracer SC, the status of the input is provided to Tracer SC for
its action. In stand-alone operation and when configured for an occupancy input, the input will
control occupancy status of the DDC controller.

•

Auxiliary temperature analog input that can be configured for an auxiliary temperature sensor
or a 2-to-10 VDC CO2 sensor. When sensor is mounted in the supply air duct and configured for
temperature, the value of the input is used as status-only by Tracer SC if Tracer SC is providing
a supply air temperature to the DDC controller. Otherwise, the input will be used for
VAV-PRC011M-EN

determining control action of the DDC controller. When configured for a CO2 sensor, the value
of the input is used as a status-only input by Tracer SC.
•

Dual-duct support with two DDC controllers. One DDC controller controls the cooling air valve
and the other controller controls the heating air valve. With constant-volume sequences, the
discharge air volume is held constant by controlling discharge air volume with the heating
UCM.

DDC Remote Heat Control Options
When heat is added to the primary air at the VAV unit before it enters the zone, the air is said to
be reheated. The operating characteristics of the four basic types of VariTrane DDC terminal reheat
are discussed.

Single-Duct: On/Off Hot Water Reheat
Three stages of on/off hot water reheat are available. The water valves used are 2-position and are
either fully-opened or fully-closed. The heating minimum airflow setpoint is enforced during
reheat.
Stage 1 energizes when the space temperature is at or below the heating setpoint. When the zone
temperature rises above the active heating setpoint by 0.5°F (0.28°C), stage 1 is de-energized. Stage
2 energizes when the space temperature is 1°F (0.56°C) or more below the active heating setpoint,
and is de-energized when the space temperature is 0.5°F (0.28°C) below the active heating setpoint.
Stage 3 energizes when the zone temperature is 2°F (1.11°C) or more below the active heating
setpoint, and de-energizes when the space temperature is 1.5°F (0.83°C) below the active heating
setpoint. When reheat is de-energized, the cooling minimum airflow setpoint is enforced.

Single-Duct: Proportional Hot Water Reheat
Proportional hot water reheat uses 3-wire, floating-point-actuator technology.
When the space temperature drops below the active heating setpoint, the air valve open to the
Airflow Setpoint Reset Minimum Local Heat and the reheat valve modulates to maintain space
temperature at the active heating setpoint. Control of the water valve uses a separate proportional
plus integral control loop, and its position is dependent on the degree that the space temperature

VAV-PRC011M-EN

99

DDC Controls

is below the active heating setpoint and the amount of time that the space temperature has been
below the active heating setpoint.
If the discharge air temperature reaches the Discharge Air Temperature Design Setpoint, the air
valve opens further and modulates between Airflow Setpoint Reset Minimum Local Heat and
Airflow Setpoint Reset Maximum Local Heat to maintain space temperature at the active heating
setpoint, while the water valve modulates to maintain discharge air temperature at the Discharge
Air Temperature Design Setpoint. If the air valve reaches Airflow Setpoint Reset Maximum Local
Heat, the water valve opens further and modulates to maintain space temperature at the active
heating setpoint, while the air valve remains at Airflow Setpoint Reset Maximum Local Heat.
An additional on/off remote heat output is available and energized when the water valve is driven
100% open and de-energized when the water valve reaches 50% open.
When reheat is de-energized, the cooling Airflow Minimum Setpoint is enforced.

Single-Duct: On/Off Electric Reheat
Three stages of staged electric reheat are available. The heating minimum airflow setpoint is
enforced during reheat.
Stage 1 is energized when the space temperature falls below the active heating setpoint and
minimum airflow requirements are met. When the zone temperature rises above the active heating
setpoint by 0.5°F (0.28°C), stage 1 is de-energized. Stage 2 energizes when the space temperature
is 1°F (0.56°C) or more below the active heating setpoint, and is de-energized when the space
temperature is 0.5°F (0.28°C) below the active heating setpoint. Stage 3 energizes when the zone
temperature is 2°F (1.11°C) or more below the active heating setpoint, and de-energizes when the
space temperature is 1.5°F (0.83°C) below the active heating setpoint. When reheat is de-energized,
the cooling minimum airflow setpoint is enforced.

Single-Duct: Pulse-Width Modulation of Electric Heat
Electric heat is modulated by energizing for a portion of a three-minute time period. One of two
stages can be used. This allows for closer matching of heating capacity to the heating load,
resulting in more stable temperature control. The heating minimum airflow setpoint is enforced
during reheat.
The amount of reheat supplied is dependent on both the degree that space temperature is below
the active heating setpoint and the time that the space temperature has been below the active
heating setpoint. If not already off, reheat de-energizes when the zone temperature rises more than
0.5°F (0.28°C) above the heating setpoint.
The Stage 1 “on” time is proportional to the amount of reheat required. For example, when 50%
of stage 1 capacity is required, reheat is on for 90 seconds and off for 90 seconds. When 75% of
stage 1 capacity is required, reheat is on for 135 seconds and off for 45 seconds. When 100% of
stage 1 capacity is required, reheat is on continuously.
Stage 2 uses the same “on” time logic as stage 1 listed above, except stage 1 is always energized.
For example, when 75% of unit capacity is required, stage 1 is energized continuously, and stage
2 is on for 90 seconds and off for 90 seconds. When reheat is de-energized, the cooling minimum
airflow setpoint is enforced.

Air-Fi™ Wireless System
Wireless Communications Interface (WCI)
The Trane® Wireless Communication Interface (WCI) enables
wireless communication between system controls, unit
controls, and wireless sensors for the new generation of Trane
control products. The WCI works with BACnet DDC VAV unit
controllers and replaces the need for communication wire in
all system applications.
Note: See BAS-SVX40*-EN, Installation, Operation and
Maintenance, Air-Fi Wireless Comm for more
information.
Quantity of WCIs per Network
Each Trane wireless network can have a total of 31 WCIs (30 member WCIs plus 1 coordinator WCI).
Each network requires one WCI to function as network coordinator.
Quantity of Networks per Tracer SC
A Tracer SC can support up to 8 wireless networks.
Automatic Network Formation
When a WCI is connected to a Tracer SC, it is auto-assigned as the coordinator. To enable the
coordinator, Tracer SC must be configured for wireless communication. The coordinator WCI
opens the network to allow all WCIs having matching addresses to automatically join the network.
If no Tracer SC is present, a centrally located WCI must be designated to act as the coordinator. You
can manually set the coordinator WCI so all WCIs having matching addresses automatically join
the network.
Air-Fi™ Wireless Communication Sensors (WCS)
Two wireless communication sensors are available:
•

Digital display model (WCS-SD)

•

Base model with no exposed display or user interface (WCS-SB)

Optional: in most applications, one WCS will be used per WCI acting as a router. However, up to
6 WCS’s can be associated to a single BACnet DDC VAV unit.
Wireless Zone Sensors and Wired Zone Sensors
Systems using Air-Fi™ can be wed with WCS or wired sensors. Our previous line of wireless zone
sensors are not compatible with Air-Fi™ WCIs.
Systems using Wireless Comm can also use wired zone sensors.

CO2 Wall Sensor and Duct CO2 Sensor
Figure 7.

CO2 wall sensor (L) and duct CO2 sensor (R)

The wall- and duct-mounted carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors are designed for use with Trane DDC/
UCM control systems. Installation is made simple by attachment directly to the DDC/ UCM
controller. This allows the existing communication link to be used to send CO2 data to the higherlevel Trane control system.
Wall-mounted sensors can monitor individual zones, and the duct-mounted sensor is ideal for
monitoring return air of a given unit. Long-term stability and reliability are assured with advanced
based Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) technology.
When connected to a building automation system with the appropriate ventilation equipment, the
Trane CO2 sensors measure and record carbon dioxide in parts-per-million (ppm) in occupied
building spaces. These carbon dioxide measurements are typically used to identify underventilated building zones or to reduce ventilation airflow during periods of reduced occupancy to
save energy (i.e. demand-controlled ventilation).

The proportional water valve is used to provide accurate control of a hot
water heating coil to help maintain a zone temperature setpoint. The valve
is a ball design and comes in available in four different flow capacities for
proper controllability. The valves are field-adjustable for use as a two- or
three-way configuration. The valves ship in a two-way configuration with a
plug that is installed loose in the bypass port. Conversion to three-way
operation is accomplished by removing the plug from the "B" port. The valve
actuator contains a three-wire synchronous motor.
The direct digital controller uses a time-based signal to drive the motor to its proper position. When
power is removed from the valve, it remains in its last controlled position.

VariTrane™ DDC Retrofit Kit
The retrofit kit provides the system advantages of VariTrane DDC controls to
building owners for existing systems. The kit can be applied when
converting from pneumatic or analog controlled systems to a DDC
controlled system. The kit may be used on existing single-duct units with hot
water and electric reheat (three stages), dual-duct units, and all fan-powered
units (both series and parallel) with hot water and electric reheat (two
stages).

A VariTrane DDC-UCM, an electronic differential pressure transducer, and a six-pin connector with
wiring for an actuator, make up the assembly of the retrofit kit. All are housed inside a metal
enclosure. For maximum flexibility, the kit is available with one of two actuators or without an
actuator. If a kit is ordered without an actuator, ensure the actuator used has 24VAC three-wire
floating control. Other accessories are available with the retrofit kit which include zone sensors,
flow bars (used with units without a flow sensor), power transformers, control relays, and E/P
solenoid valves.

Retrofit Kit Actuator
This actuator is available with the DDC Retrofit Kit and is a 3-terminal,
floating-point control device. It is direct-coupled over the damper shaft so
there is no need for connecting linkage. The actuator has an external manual
gear release to allow manual positioning of the damper when the actuator
is not powered. A three-foot plenum-rated cable with bare ends will be sent
separately. The actuator is listed under Underwriters Laboratories Standard
873, CSA 22.2 No. 24 certified, and CE manufactured per Quality Standard
SO9001.

3011 Pneumatic Volume Regulator
The pneumatic volume regulator (PVR) is a controller that provides a
consistent airflow to the space, regardless of varying inlet duct pressure
conditions, in response to a pneumatic thermostat signal. The controller
maintains minimum and maximum airflow setpoints. The 3011 PVR can be
set to control either normally open or normally-closed air valve actuators
and can be calibrated to accept either direct-acting or reverse-acting
thermostat signals. Fixed reset control of maximum and minimum airflow
setpoints is provided.

Tubing Connections:

The 3501 PVR can be set to control either normally open or normally-closed
air valve actuators and can be calibrated to accept either direct-acting or
reverse-acting thermostat signals. Fixed reset control of maximum and
minimum airflow setpoints is provided. The controller is used primarily in
dual-duct constant-volume applications because of its linear output
response characteristics. The controller resets the primary air velocity
linearly with a change in thermostat pressure.
This is in contrast to the 3011 PVR, which resets velocity pressure with a change in thermostat
pressure. This allows the 3501 PVR to have improved stability at low flows.

The pneumatic reversing relay is a proportional device that reverses the

reverse-acting signal or to change a reverse-acting signal into a direct-acting
signal. This relay is used to match the operating pressure range of controlled
devices (valves, pressure switches, etc.) to the output pressure range of a
controller (such as a thermostat). The output response will always remain in
1:1 proportion to the input signal, but the relay includes the capability to bias
the output signal.

Controls Specifications
For all VariTrane™ units, the unit controller continuously monitors the zone temperature and varies
the primary airflow as required to meet zone setpoints. Airflow is limited by adjustable minimum
and maximum setpoints.
Additionally, for series fan-powered units, the controller will start and run the fan continuously
during the occupied mode and intermittently during the unoccupied mode. Upon a further call for
heat, any hot water or electric heat associated with the unit is enabled.
For parallel fan-powered units, the controller energizes the fan upon a call for heat. Upon a further
call for heat, reheat is enabled.

Direct Digital Controls (DDC)
LONMARK Direct Digital Controller
Trane-designed LONMARK® certified controller uses the space comfort control (SCC) profile to
exchange information over a LonTalk™ Network. LonMark networks provide the latest open
protocol technology.
Direct Digital Controller
The microprocessor-based terminal unit controller provides accurate, pressure-independent
control through the use of a proportional integral control algorithm and direct digital control
technology. The UCM, monitors zone temperature setpoints, zone temperature, the rate of
temperature change, and valve airflow. With the addition of optional sensors, room occupancy or
supply duct air temperature can be monitored. The controller is provided in an enclosure with 7/
8” (22 mm) knockouts for remote control wiring. A Trane DDC zone sensor is required.
DDC Actuator
Trane 3-wire, 24-VAC, floating-point quarter turn control actuator with linkage release button.
Actuator has a constant drive rate independent of load, a rated torque of 35 in-lb, a 90-second drive
time, and is non-spring return. Travel is terminated by end stops at fully opened and closed
positions. An integral magnetic clutch eliminates motor stall.
DDC Actuator - Belimo
LMB24-3-T TN 3-wire, 24 VAC/DC, floating-point, quarter turn actuator with linkage release button.
Actuator has a constant drive rate independent of load, a rated torque of 45 in-lb, a 95 second drive
time, and is non-spring return. Travel is terminated by end stops at fully-opened and -closed
positions. Internal electronic control prevents motor stall when motor reaches end stops.
DDC Zone Sensor
The UCM controller measures zone temperature through a sensing element located in the zone
sensor. Other zone sensor options may include an externally-adjustable setpoint, communications
jack for use with a portable service tool, and an override button to change the individual controller
from unoccupied to occupied mode. The override button has a cancel feature that will return the
system to unoccupied. Wired zone sensors utilize a thermistor to vary the voltage output in
response to changes in the zone temperature. Wiring to the UCM controller must be 18 to 22 awg.
twisted pair wiring. The setpoint adjustment range is 50–88ºF (10–31°C) Depending upon the
features available in the model of sensor selected, the zone sensor may require from a 2-wire to
a 7-wire connection. Wireless zone sensors report the same zone information as wired zone
sensors, but do so using radio transmitter technology. No wiring from the zone sensor to the UCM
controller is necessary.
Digital Display Zone Sensor with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The direct digital zone sensor contains a sensing element which sends a signal to the UCM. A Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) indicates setpoint, or space temperature. Sensor buttons allow setpoint
adjust, and allow space temperature readings to be turned on or off. The digital display zone sensor
also includes a communication jack, for use with a portable edit device, and an override button to
change the UCM from unoccupied to occupied. The override button has a cancel feature, which

returns the system to unoccupied mode. The digital display zone sensor requires seven wires, one
for 24-VAC power.

3501 Pneumatic Volume Regulator (PVR)
The 3501 regulator is a linear-reset volume controller. This PVR is used to maintain a constant
volume of airflow from the dual-duct unit when constant volume control is used. Average total unit
bleed rate, excluding thermostat, is 43.2 scim at 20 psig (11.8 mL/min at 138 kPa) supply.
Considerations for Pneumatic Thermostat
Field-supplied and -installed based on chosen control options, a direct-acting or a reverse- acting,
one-pipe or two-pipe pneumatic room thermostat will control the available air valve, reheat and
fan switch to maintain room temperature setpoint. The following pneumatic control features are

Single-Duct Systems
Single-duct systems include one supply fan and a single supply duct, which is attached to each
zone. The supply fan delivers cooled air to the VAV zones in variable volumes, depending upon the
cooling requirements. The supply fan is usually designed to modulate airflow delivered to the VAV
zones.
Many VAV zones require heating as well as cooling. The supply air-handling unit provides either
no heat (cooling only), morning warm-up heat or occupied (changeover) heat. In addition, heat may
be provided at any individual VAV zone (within the zone or within the VAV terminal) by reheating
cool air provided by the central air handler.

No Heat
Central Cooling Only—In some systems, the central air handler provides only cooling and
ventilation during zone occupied periods. The supply air is maintained at a constant temperature
and the supply airflow is modulated to match the VAV airflow rate with the zone cooling
requirements.

Central Heat
Central Heat for Morning Warm-up—Many buildings cool down during the night. To be at a
comfortable temperature in the morning when the building is again occupied, heat must be added
to the spaces. Heat provided by the central air handler for morning warm-up is supplied at constant
air volume to the zones, prior to the time of occupancy. During the morning warm-up period, the
VAV terminal units must open to allow heated air to flow into the zones. In most instances very little
additional heat is needed once the building is occupied.
Central Occupied Heating-Changeover—Some buildings use the same air handler to provide
both occupied cooling and occupied heating. This is commonly referred to as a changeover system.
The system changes between heating and cooling depending on the need of the zones on the
system. In a changeover system, the operation of the VAV terminal units must also change over,
opening to provide heat in the heating mode and opening to provide cooling in the cooling mode.

Application Considerations

Trane's main product in this type of application is called VariTrac™. VariTrane products can also be
used in these systems. (These types of systems are beyond the scope of this manual and are
discussed in detail in the VariTrac II Manual.

Terminal Heat
Remote Heat—In some zones of a single-duct VAV system, perimeter heating equipment, remote
from the terminal unit, is used to add heat to the zone when the cooling load is lower than the
minimum cooling capacity of the VAV terminal unit. Heat is added directly to the zone while cool
supply air continues to enter the zone at a minimum rate for zone ventilation.
Terminal Reheat—In some zones of a single-duct VAV system, a minimum flow of cool supply air
is reheated at the terminal unit before entering the zone. Terminal reheat can be provided by
electrical resistance heaters or by hot water coils.
Parallel Fan-Powered Heat—In some zones of a single-duct VAV system, cool supply air at
minimum flow is mixed with warm plenum air before entering the zone at a constant flow rate. A
fan in the terminal unit, in parallel with the central fan, draws air from the plenum whenever the
zone requires heat.
Series Fan-Powered Heat—In some zones of a single-duct VAV system, the airflow to the zone
is held constant, during both heating and cooling, by a terminal unit fan that is in series with the
central fan. The terminal unit fan runs continuously. When the zone requires heat, cool supply air
at minimum flow is mixed with warm, return plenum air before entering the zone.

Dual-Duct Systems
Dual-duct systems have either one or two supply fans and two duct systems. One duct system
carries heated air and the other duct system carries cooled air. Heated air and cooled air are
modulated and/or mixed at each zone in the proper proportions to control zone temperature.
Terminal reheat is not required in a dual-duct system.

VariTrane VAV Terminal Units
The function of the VariTrane™ terminal unit in a VAV control zone is to vary the volumetric airflow
rate to the zone. VariTrane units are available with either microprocessor-based DDC controls or
pneumatic or analog electronic controls. Factory-installed controls are available with all types of
terminal units.

Figure 10. Dual-Duct terminal unit

VAV Terminal Unit Types
Single-Duct
Single-duct terminal units control the volumetric flow of supply air to the space to maintain the
zone temperature at setpoint. These units are generally applied in cooling-only VAV zones that
require no heat during occupied hours. If local zone heat is necessary it can be provided either
remotely (for example, perimeter heat) or by terminal reheat (either electric or hot water coils).
Dual-Duct
Dual-duct terminal units are used in a special type of air distribution system where the main system
has both warm air and cold air separately ducted to each terminal unit. The flow of both warm air
and cool air is modulated, delivering air to the VAV zone at variable air volumes as well as variable
temperatures. Since full capacity occupied heating is always available, control of additional local
heat is not provided.

Fan-Pressure Optimization
With Trane's Integrated Comfort System, the information from VAV terminal units can be used for
other energy-saving strategies. Fan-pressure optimization is the concept of reducing the supply fan
energy usage based on the position of the terminal unit dampers.
The control system allows this scenario. The system polls the VAV units for the damper position
on each unit. The supply fan is modulated until the most wide-open damper is between 85% and
95% open. The correct airflow is still being sent to the zones since the controls of the VAV units are
pressure-independent, and the fan modulates to an optimal speed and duct static pressure which
results in fan energy savings.

Ventilation Reset
The Ventilation Reset control strategy enables a building ventilation system to bring in an
appropriate amount of outdoor air per ASHRAE Standard 62.1. The basis for the strategy is
measuring airflow at each zone, calculating current system ventilation efficiency using the
multiple-zone system equations of the standard, and communicating a new outdoor airflow
setpoint to the air handler.
This strategy continually monitors the zone ventilation needs and system outdoor air intake flow,
minimizing the amount of ventilation air and increasing the energy efficiency of the system. This
ensures that the right amount of air is brought in at all times and that proper ventilation can be
documented. Trane has integrated this control ability into the VAV controls, air-handler controls,
and building controls.

System and Product References,” p. 156 for appropriate material.

Control Types
VAV terminal units are available with many different options. These options fall into three main
categories of controls: direct digital (DDC), pneumatic, and analog electronic. All of these control
types can be used to perform the same basic unit control functions, yet differences exist in accuracy
of performance, versatility, installed cost, operating cost, and maintenance cost.

Direct Digital Control (DDC) Systems

Direct digital control (DDC) systems became
available as advances in computer technology made
small microprocessors available and affordable.
Much of the hardware in DDC systems is similar to
analog electronic systems. The primary difference is
that DDC controllers allow system integration, remote
monitoring, and adjustment. The microprocessor is
programmed using software that gives the controller
a higher level of capability than either the pneumatic
or analog electronic options.
Benefits
Performance—DDC controls offer PI control capability. A PI control scheme is the most accurate
and repeatable control scheme available in the VAV terminal unit industry.
Versatility—DDC controls accepts software commands to determine how its outputs will be
controlled. When a control sequence must be modified, making changes to the software
instructions is easier and quicker than changing hardware.

142

VAV-PRC011M-EN

Application Considerations

Operating and Maintenance Costs—DDC controls can be networked together via wired or wireless
networks to provide system-control strategies for energy savings. Multiple controllers can be
easily monitored and adjusted from a remote location. DDC controls also have system and
individual diagnostic capability.

Pneumatic Control Systems
Pneumatic control systems use compressed air through simple mechanical control devices, such
as diaphragms, springs, and levers to change an output in response to a change in a monitored
variable. With VAV terminal units, the output is typically a primary airflow and the monitored
variable is zone temperature.
Benefits
Performance—Pneumatic controls are a proven technology that is effective and has a long life
cycle.
Installed Cost—When a source of compressed air exists at the facility, pneumatics generally have
a lower installed cost than other types of controls when only a basic functionality is required.
Operating and Maintenance Costs—Pneumatics are still the most familiar control technology to
many building designers and maintenance people.
Large Installed Base—Pneumatic systems are very common in existing buildings. This eliminates
the need to purchase the most expensive piece of equipment in a pneumatic control system—the
control air compressor. Extensions to existing pneumatic systems are generally very simple and
extremely cost-effective.
Disadvantages
Performance—Pneumatic controls provide proportional-only control for VAV terminal unit
systems. This control scheme is less accurate than the more advanced control schemes. Improper
calibration of pneumatic controls leads to poor energy utilization.
Versatility—A central pneumatic control system, where each of the control zones can be monitored
and adjusted from a remote location, is extremely costly to configure and to modify.
Operating and Maintenance Costs—Pneumatics easily drift and require constant upkeep and
scheduled maintenance. Diagnostic capability for pneumatics is not available. A main compressor
which is not maintained and becomes contaminated with oil or water can pump those
contaminants into the compressed-air-distribution system. This may require costly cleaning of the
system and a possible replacement of system components.

DDC Controls Basic Information
DDC controls have become the industry standard for VAV terminal unit control systems. DDC
systems use electronic field devices such as a flow transducer, a primary air modulating damper,
and an electronic thermostat. These field devices report software instructions of how the outputs
are positioned in relation to the inputs to a controller. The VariTrane™ system uses a primary air
valve and flow transducer for both DDC systems and analog electronic systems. However, the DDC
zone sensor is different from the analog electronic thermostat.
DDC controls provide much flexibility and considerable diagnostic capability. DDC controllers can
be connected together to form a network of controllers. Once the controllers are networked, they
can be monitored for proper operation from a remote location. Commands and overrides can be
sent for groups of controllers at one time to make system-wide changes. Commands and overrides
can be sent to individual units to allow problem diagnosis, temporary shutdown, startup schedules
or other specialized changes. When integrated into a building management system, the operation
of the VAV terminal unit system can be modified to do such things, as coincide with occupancy
schedules and reduce energy charges.
DDC control of VAV terminal units is a key element in providing intelligent and responsive building
management. Precision control, flexible comfort, and after hours access are all available with the
VariTrane™ DDC control system for VAV terminal units.

Pneumatic Controls Basic Information
Pneumatic controls modulate air pressure of a controller to maintain setpoint. For VAV systems,
there are two primary types of pneumatic controllers—the room thermostat and the pneumatic
volume regulator (PVR).

Room Thermostats
The most visible controller to the customer is the room thermostat. Pneumatic room thermostats
can be classified by two characteristics: the tubing connection(s) to the thermostat and the action
of the thermostat output in response to a change in the input.
Room thermostats are available in models that require a one-pipe or a two-pipe configuration. The
name is derived from the number of tubes that must run to the thermostat location. The difference
is really in the construction of the thermostats. The two-pipe thermostats have a constant pressure
supply connected via an air tube to the thermostat supply air port. The supply air travels through
the thermostat’s relays, levers, diaphragm, and bleed port to produce an output. The output line
is connected to the output port of the thermostat and extends to the controlled device. The onepipe thermostat has, as its name suggests, only one air line connection. The thermostat works by
opening and closing an air bleed valve. This will either decrease or increase the pressure on the
controlled device, which is connected to the same line that runs to the thermostat.
Room thermostats also can be classified by their reaction to a change in temperature. Room
thermostats classified this way are denoted as either direct-acting or reverse-acting. Direct-acting
thermostats will increase their output pressure as the temperature the thermostat measures
increases.
Figure 13. Direct-acting thermostat response (L) and direct-acting thermostat response (R)

On the contrary, reverse-acting thermostats will decrease their output pressure as the temperature
the thermostat measures increases.

Pneumatic Volume Regulators
These controllers accept the room thermostat signal and modulate the VAV terminal unit primary
air damper. The primary air damper is controlled for an airflow setpoint that is determined by the
room thermostat. The thermostat increases the PVR’s airflow setting when the temperature in the
space is warm. On the other hand, the thermostat decreases the PVR’s airflow setting when the
temperature in the space is cold.

144

VAV-PRC011M-EN

Application Considerations

Currently, VariTrane offers two models of pneumatic volume regulators in its controls offering—
the 3011 regulator (used in most applications) and the 3501 model (used in dual-duct constantvolume applications). The primary difference is the 3501 PVR’s ability to change the velocity
pressure linearly with a change in thermostat pressure, which results in improved stability at low
flows. In contrast, the 3011 PVR resets the velocity pressure with a change in thermostat pressure.
Reset Control of Minimum and Maximum Flow—The 3011 PVR and 3501 use fixed reset control of
minimum and maximum flow settings. The primary benefit of fixed reset in a pneumatic volume
regulator is stable flow control without excessive damper movement.
Fixed Reset—A fixed reset controller operates over a thermostat signal change of 5 psi between
minimum and maximum flow, regardless of the differential pressure flow sensor signal. The
thermostat is usually set for a gain of 2.5; i.e. it produces a 2.5 psi output change per degree of space
temperature change. This control strategy provides stable flow control with the primary air valve
throttling between minimum and maximum flow over a 2°F space temperature change.
Example 1: Air valve with a 6" inlet, Pneumatic thermostat gain = 2.5 psi/degree:
Minimum Flow=0 cfm, 0.0 in. wg flow signal
Maximum Flow=680 cfm, 2.0 in. wg flow signal
2.0 in. wg signal range
The damper will modulate from zero to maximum position over a 2°F temperature change.
Bleed Port to Atmosphere—Bleeding air to the atmosphere is a normal operation for a volume
regulator. The 3011 volume regulator addresses this function with a dedicated bleed port. When air
is bled through the flow sensor, the differential pressure signal from the sensor is affected. As a
result, the flow sensor signal can be radically altered if the volume regulator is bleeding air, and
may cause excessive damper movement.
Calibration—The minimum and maximum settings are independent of each other and need to be
set only once during calibration.
Signal Configuration Flexibility—Both can be configured to work with both normally-open and
normally-closed pneumatic air valves, and both direct-acting and reverse-acting thermostats.

Application Considerations

Flow Measurement and Control
One of the most important characteristics of a VAV terminal unit is
its ability to accurately sense and control airflow. The VariTrane
terminal unit was developed with exactly that goal in mind. The
patented, multiple-point, averaging flow ring measures the
velocity of the air at the unit primary air inlet.

The differential pressure signal output of the flow ring provides the terminal unit controller a
measurement of the primary airflow through the inlet. The terminal unit controller then opens or
closes the inlet damper to maintain the controller airflow setpoint

Flow Measurement
Most VAV terminal units contain a differential pressure airflow measurement device, mounted at
the primary air inlet, to provide a signal to the terminal unit controller. Numerous names exist for
the differential pressure measurement device—flow sensor, flow bar, flow ring. The differential
pressure measured at the inlet varies according to the volumetric flow rate of primary air entering
the inlet.
The total pressure and the static pressure are measurable quantities. The flow measurement
device in a VAV terminal unit is designed to measure velocity pressure. Most flow sensors consist
of a hollow piece of tubing with orifices in it. The VariTrane air valve contains a flow ring as its flow
measuring device. The flow ring is two round coils of tubing. Evenly spaced orifices in the upstream
coil are the high-pressure taps that average the total pressure of air flowing through the air valve.
The orifices in the downstream ring are low-pressure taps that average the air pressure in the wake
of flow around the tube. By definition, the measurement of static pressure is to occur at a point
perpendicular to the airflow. The low-pressure taps on the VariTrane flow ring measure a pressure
that is parallel to the direction of flow but in the opposite direction of the flow. This “wake pressure”
that the downstream ring measures is lower than the actual duct static pressure. The difference
between the “wake pressure” and the static pressure can be accounted for so that the above
relationship between flow and differential pressure remain valid. The difference also helps create
a larger pressure differential than the velocity pressure. Since the pressures being measured in VAV
terminal box applications are small, this larger differential allows transducers and controllers to
measure and control at lower flow settings than would otherwise be possible.
The average velocity of air traveling through the inlet is expressed in the equation:
VP
FPM = 1096.5 -----------------DENS

Where:
FPM =

Velocity of air in feet per minute

1096.5 =

A constant

VP =

The velocity pressure of the air expressed in inches of water

DENS =

The density of the air expressed in pounds per cubic foot

Often, the density is assumed to be a constant for dry air at standard conditions (68°F (20°C)) and
sea level pressure of 14.7 psi (101.4 kPa)). These conditions yield the following commonly used
equation:
FPM = 4005 VP

The velocity pressure is defined as the difference between the total pressure in the duct and the
static pressure in the duct:
146

VAV-PRC011M-EN

Application Considerations

VP = TP - SP (All units are expressed in inches of water)
The amount of air traveling through the inlet is related to the area of the inlet and the velocity of
the air:
AIRFLOW = AREA (square feet) x AVERAGE VELOCITY (feet per minute)

Accuracy
The multiple, evenly spaced orifices in the flow ring of the VariTrane terminal unit provide quality
measurement accuracy even if ductwork turns or variations are present before the unit inlet. For
the most accurate readings, a minimum of 1½ diameters, and preferably 3 diameters, of straightrun ductwork is recommended prior to the inlet connection. The straight-run ductwork should be
of the same diameter as the air valve inlet connection. If these recommendations are followed, and
the air density effects mentioned below are addressed, the flow ring will measure primary airflow
within ±5% of unit nominal airflow.
Figure 14. Air pressure measurement orientations

Air Density Effects
Changes in air density due to the conditions listed below sometimes create situations where the
standard flow sensing calibration parameters must be modified. These factors must be accounted
for to achieve accuracy with the flow sensing ring. Designers, installers, and air balancers should
be aware of these factors and know of the necessary adjustments to correct for them.
Elevation
At high elevations the air is less dense. Therefore, when measuring the same differential pressure
at elevation versus sea level the actual flow will be greater at elevation than it would be at sea level.
To calculate the density at an elevation other than standard conditions (most manufacturers choose
sea level as the point for their standard conditions), you must set up a ratio between the density
and differential pressure at standard conditions and the density and differential pressure at the new
elevation.
ΔP Sταν dard Conditions
ΔP New Conditions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = ------------------------------------------------------------------DENSS ταν dard Conditions
DENSNew Conditions
Since the data from the manufacturer is published at standard conditions, this equation should be
solved for the differential pressure at standard conditions and the other quantities substituted to
determine the ratio for the differential pressure measured at the new conditions.
Duct Pressure and Air Temperature Variations
While changes in these factors certainly affect the density of air, most operating parameters which
VAV systems need keep these effects very small. The impact on accuracy due to these changes is
less than one half of one percent except in very extreme conditions (extreme conditions are defined
as those systems with static pressures greater than 5 in. wg (1245 Pa) and primary air temperatures
greater than 100°F (37.8°C)). Since those types of systems occur so infrequently, we assume the
effects of duct pressure and air temperature variations to be negligible.

Application Considerations

Linearity
With the increase in DDC controls over pneumatic controls, the issue of linearity is not as great as
it once was. The important aspect of flow measurement versus valve position is the accuracy of
the controller in determining and controlling the flow. Our units are tested for linearity and that
position versus airflow curve is downloaded and commissioned in the factory to insure proper
control of the unit.

Reheat Options
Figure 15. Hot water coil (L) & hot water valves (R)

Hot water heating coils are generally applied on VAV terminal units as reheat devices. When
applying these coils it is important to make sure that they are operating in the proper air flow and
water flow range. Either a two-way or a three-way valve controls the coils.
The most important factor when sizing valves is the coefficient of velocity or Cv. The Cv is defined
as the flow rate, in gallons of 60°F (15.56°C) water, that will pass through the valve in one minute
with a one pound pressure drop. The coefficient of velocity, which is commonly called the flow
coefficient, is an industry standard rating. Valves having the same flow coefficient rating,
regardless of manufacturer, will have the same waterside performance characteristics.
The equation that governs valve sizing is:
GPM
C v = -------------ΔP

Where
Cv=Flow coefficient
GPM=The maximum water flow rate through the valve in gallons per minute
DP=The maximum allowable differential pressure across the valve in psi
The flow and differential pressure are generally the known quantities. The equation is solved for
the flow coefficient. The flow coefficient is then compared to the published CV values for the control
valves that are available. The control valve with the CV that is the closest, but greater than, the
calculated flow coefficient is the correct choice for the control valve. This choice will keep the valve
pressure drop below the maximum allowable valve pressure drop. The valve pressure drop should
then be checked against the coil pressure drop. If the coil pressure drop is appreciably larger than
the valve pressure drop, a valve with a smaller CV should be selected to produce a larger control
valve pressure drop. If this new valve has a pressure drop that is much larger than the maximum
allowable pressure drop for valves, the system designer should be consulted to make sure that the
system hot water pumps can deliver the water at the new conditions.

Application Considerations

Electric Reheat
Electric heating coils are applied on VAV terminal units as terminal reheat devices. Electric heat coil
capacity is rated in kilowatts (kW). Coils are available with the total capacity divided into one, two,
or three stages.
Electric heat coils are available in single-phase or three-phase models. This refers to the type of
power source connected to the coil. Single-phase models have resistance elements internally
connected in parallel. Three- phase models have resistance elements internally connected in a
delta or a wye configuration.
The current draw for the electric coil will depend upon whether it is a single-phase coil or a threephase coil. The current draw is necessary for determining what size wire should be used to power
the electric coils and how big the primary power fusing should be.
The equations for current draw for these coils are:
kW × 1000
1φamps = -------------------------------------------------Primary Voltage
kW × 1000
3φamps = ----------------------------------------------------------PrimaryVoltage 3
VariTrane three-phase electric heat is available in balanced configurations. For example, a 9 kW
three-phase coil, each stage would carry 1/3 or 3 kW of the load.
It is important to note that these coils have certain minimum airflow rates for each amount of kW
heat the coil can supply to operate safely. See Figure 29, p. 40 for minimum air flow rates by unit
inlet size and electric heat kW.
The equation that relates the airflow across an electric coil to the temperature rise and the coil
change in temperature is:
kW × 3145
CFM = ------------------------------ΔT
Where
CFM=Minimum airflow rate across the coil
kW=The heating capacity of the electric coil
3145=A constant
DP=The maximum rise in air temperature across the coil (usually 50 degrees F (28 degrees C))
Electric heat coils are available with magnetic or mercury contactors. Magnetic contactors are less
expensive than mercury contactors. However, mercury contactors can be cycled at a more rapid
rate without failing. Mercury contactors are rated for heavier duty use and should be used in as
many applications as possible. For pneumatic applications the electric coils are available with
factory-installed pressure-electric switches.

Application Considerations

Insulation
Encapsulated edges
Insulation in a VAV terminal unit is used to avoid condensation
on the outside of the unit, to reduce the heat transfer from the
cold primary air entering the unit, and to reduce the unit noise.
The VariTrane line offers four types of unit insulation. The type
of facing classifies the types of insulation. To enhance IAQ
effectiveness, edges of all insulation types have metal
encapsulated edges.

Matte-Faced
This type of insulation is used for typical applications. It consists of a fiberglass core covered by
a high-density skin. The dual-density construction provides good sound attenuation and thermal
performance.
Foil-Faced
This type of insulation is used in applications where there is some concern regarding airborne
contaminants entering the space, or dirt being trapped in the fibers of the insulation. The insulation
is composed of a fiberglass core laminated to a foil sheet. Foil-faced insulation will provide the
same sound attenuation performance as matte-faced insulation.
Double-Wall
This type of insulation is used in applications where there is extreme concern regarding airborne
contaminants entering the space or dirt being trapped in the fibers of the insulation. The insulation
is the same as the matte-faced insulation. However, after the insulation is installed, a second solid
wall of 26-gage steel covers the insulation. All wire penetrations of this insulation are covered by
a grommet. This type of insulation will result in higher discharge and radiated sound power.
Closed-Cell
This type of insulation is used in applications where IAQ and fibers are of primary concern. The
acoustics of the closed-cell insulation are similar to double-wall insulation. The thermal properties
are similar to fiberglass insulation. This insulation contains no fiberglass.

Acoustics
Acoustical Best Practices
Acoustics with terminal units is sometimes more confusing than it needs to be. As we know, lower
velocities within a unit leads to improved acoustical performance. Additionally, if the VAV terminal
unit has a fan, a lower RPM provides better Acoustical performance. It is as simple as that—there
are some catches, however.
Additional considerations will be discussed in more detail throughout this portion of Application
Considerations, such as unit size and type, appurtenance affects (due to insulation, attenuation,
etc.), certification, and computer modeling. Let’s take a look at the first consideration, sizing of
units.

Sizing of Units
Before blindly increasing the size of units, we must first understand what is setting the acoustics
within the space. In general, over 95% of acoustics in VAV terminal units, which set the sound
150

VAV-PRC011M-EN

Application Considerations

pressure levels and ultimately the NC within the space, is from radiated sound. This is readily
known for fan-powered units, but less commonly known for single- and dual-duct units. Radiated
sound emanates from the unit and enters the occupied space via means other than through the
supply ductwork. The most typical path is through the plenum space, then through the ceiling, then
into the occupied space. While discharge sound should never be ignored, radiated sound is the
most dominant and usually the most critical sound source.
When increasing air valve sizes, BE CAREFUL. Oversizing an air valve can adversely impact the
ability to modulate and properly control temperature in the space. In extremely oversized
situations, the air valve will operate like a two-position controlled device, with air either being “on”,
or “off”, and not really much in between. The best way to avoid this is to understand that the
minimum for most air valves is 300 FPM. This is a function of the flow sensing device and the ability
of the pressure transducer and controller to properly read and report flow. This is not manufacturer
specific, as physics applies to all. Therefore, when sizing air valves, regardless of the max cooling
velocity the minimum velocity for proper pressure independent flow is 300 FPM.
Modulation capability and range is vital for proper operation of VAV systems. With oversized units,
the unit will act as a constant volume system eliminating the energy savings and individual zone
control advantages of VAV systems. A good rule of thumb is to size cooling airflow for around 2000
FPM. VAV systems only operate at full flow when there is a maximum call for cooling in the zone.
The greatest portion of the time, an air valve will be operating at partial flows.
When sizing fan-powered units, the fan airflow range can be determined by looking at the fancurve. Because parallel and series fan-powered units operate at a constant fan flow, selections can
be made all the way to the lowest flow ranges of the fan curve. A good balance of performance and
cost is to select fans at 70-80% of maximum fan flow.

Insulation types
Insulation is a factor to consider when dealing with the acoustics of terminal units. Most insulation
types will provide similar acoustical results, but there are exceptions. Double-wall and closed-cell
foam insulation will generally increase your sound levels because of the increased reflective
surface area that the solid inner-wall and closed-cell construction provides. This increase in sound
will have to be balanced with the IAQ and cleanability considerations of the dual-wall and closedcell construction.

Placement of units
Unit placement in a building can have a significant impact on the acceptable sound levels. Locating
units above non-critical spaces (hallways, closets, and storerooms) will help to contain radiated
sound from entering the critical occupied zones.

Unit Attenuation
Terminal unit-installed attenuators are an option available to provide path sound attenuation.
Manufacturer-provided attenuators on the discharge of a terminal unit are targeted at reducing
discharge path noise and are typically a simple lined piece of ductwork. It would often be easier and
less expensive to design the downstream ductwork to be slightly longer and require the installing
contractor to include lining in it. Attenuators on the plenum inlet of fan-powered terminals are
targeted at reducing radiated path noise since the plenum opening on a fan-powered terminal unit
is typically the critical path sound source. Significant reduction in radiated path noise can result
from a well-designed inlet attenuator. The attenuation from these attenuators is due to simple
absorption from the attenuator lining and occupant line of sight sound path obstruction. Therefore,
longer attenuators and attenuators that require the sound to turn multiple corners before reaching
the occupied space provide superior results, particularly in the lower frequency bands.

Attenuators that are simple “cups” at the plenum inlet(s) have been shown in Trane’s acoustical
mock-up to provide no measurable reduction in sound pressure in the critical octave bands which
set the occupied space noise criteria.

Certification and Testing
Terminal units should be submitted based on the same criteria. There are several ways to ensure
this by certification and testing.
Raw unit sound data can be good measurement criteria for evaluation. In using this as a basis for
comparison, the designer needs to make sure that the information is based on the AHRI Standard
880-2011 that gives the procedure for testing.
Specifying NC or RC sound levels is a possible comparison, but the designer needs to be sure the
comparison is fair. Two options are to specify the attenuation effect on which you would like the
units to be evaluated or to specify that AHRI Standard 885-2008 transfer functions be used. The
importance of AHRI Standard 885-2008 is that it is the first AHRI Standard that specifies exact
transfer functions to be used for evaluation. Previous versions of the standard gave guidelines, but
the manufacturers could choose their own set of factors.

By using NC sound levels, it is possible to express acceptable sound levels for various types of
buildings or environments. A few examples are:

Path Attenuation
Sound is generated by a terminal unit can reach the occupied space along several paths. The
terminal unit generated sound will lose energy—i.e., the energy is absorbed by path obstacles—
as it travels to the occupied space. This acoustical energy dissipation as it travels to the occupied
space is called path attenuation. The amount of energy lost along a particular path can be
quantified and predicted using the procedure outlined in AHRI-885. Each path must be considered
when determining acceptable sound power generated by a terminal unit.
The term “transfer function” is often used to describe the entire path attenuation value for each
octave band (i.e., the sum of all components of a particular path).
Examples of path attenuation include locating the terminal unit away from the occupied space,
increasing the STC (sound transmission classification) of the ceiling tile used, internally lining
ductwork, drywall lagging the ceiling tiles or enclosing the terminal unit in drywall. All of these
choices have costs associated with them that must be weighed against the benefits. Some of these
alternatives can be acoustically evaluated from application data provided in AHRI-885. Others may
require professional analysis from an acoustical consultant.

Computer Modeling
Computer modeling of acoustical paths is available to help estimate sound levels and determine
problem sources. The software used by Trane for computer modeling is called Trane Acoustics
Program (TAP™).
TAP can analyze different room configurations and materials to quickly determine the estimated
total sound levels (radiated and discharged) in a space. The Trane Official Product Selection System
(TOPSS™) can also be used to determine sound levels of terminal units. You can base selections
on a maximum sound level and enter your own attenuation factors (defaults based on AHRI-885
are also available).

with the basics of acoustical theory and modeling. You can also contact your local Trane
salesperson to discuss the issue.

Duct Design
Designing cost-effective VAV duct systems is challenging. Some duct design methods result in
better pressure balance than others do. Duct shape and duct material can influence duct system
design and cost. In addition, duct layout is properly designed for optimal duct installation and
operation.

Duct Design Program
Trane has developed a computer program, VariTrane™ Duct Designer, to aid in the duct design
process. This program is used to calculate duct sizes, fitting sizes, terminal unit sizes, and pressure
drops according to the equal friction or static regain method. The duct design program can be
easily incorporated into the selection of VAV terminal units. The inputs and outputs for the program
enable VariTrane units to be selected based on the conditions you require. This makes selecting and

scheduling units much easier. Contact the local sales office or the Trane C.D.S.™ department for
more details on this program.

Design Methods
The two most widely used supply duct design methods—equal friction and static regain—are
discussed below.
Equal Friction – Using this method, ducts are sized at design flow to have roughly the same static
pressure drop for every 100 feet of duct. Static pressures throughout the duct system can be
balanced at design flow using balancing dampers, but are no longer balanced at part load flows.
For this reason, equal friction duct designs are better suited for constant volume systems than for
VAV systems. If the equal friction method is used for the VAV supply duct design, the terminal units
usually require pressure-independent (PI) control capability to avoid excessive flow rates when
duct pressures are high.
In VAV systems, the ducts located downstream of the terminal unit are usually sized for equal
friction. The advantage of this design method is its simplicity. Often, calculations can be made
using simple tables and duct calculators. Drawbacks include increased higher total pressure drops
and higher operating costs.
Static Regain – In the static regain method, ducts are sized to maintain constant static pressure in
each section, which is achieved by balancing the total and velocity pressure drops of each section.
In other words, static pressure is “regained” by the loss of velocity pressure. Since the static
pressures throughout the duct system are roughly balanced at design and part load flow, static
regain duct designs can be used successfully for either constant volume or VAV systems. When the
static regain method is used for VAV systems, the system is roughly pressure balanced at design.
Advantages of the static regain method include reduced total pressure drops, lower operating
costs, and balanced pressures over a wide range of flows. The drawback of this design is the timeconsuming, iterative calculation procedure and for large systems, it is essential to have a duct
design computer program.

Best Practices
Common Mistakes
Some of the most common system or installation errors are discussed below.
Reducers at Unit Inlet
This problem is a very common issue that is seen in applications of VariTrane products. It is often
mistaken by those in the field as an unacceptably large static pressure drop through the unit. It is
also sometimes mistaken as a malfunctioning flow ring, pressure transducer (if DDC or analog
electronic controls are present) or PVR (if pneumatic controls are present).
This problem is sometimes unknowingly encountered because of the capability of the VariTrane
unit to allow greater airflow for a specific size duct than other terminal units. For example, a project
engineer specifies an 8" (203 mm) round take off from the main duct trunk to the VAV terminal unit.
The person supplying the VAV terminal unit checks the required airflow and finds that a VariTrane
unit with a 6" (152 mm) inlet will provide the specified terminal unit performance. The terminal unit
supplier submits, receives approval, and orders the 6" (152 mm) inlet unit. While this is happening,
the installing contractor has run the connecting duct from the main trunk to the terminal unit in the
specified 8" (152 mm) round. The unit arrives at the job site, and the installer notices that the 8" (203
mm) duct and the 6" (152 mm) terminal unit inlet do not match. To get the unit installed, an 8- to
6-inch reducer is placed at the inlet to the terminal unit air valve.
The reducer will cause a phenomenon called flow separation at the unit inlet. Fluid dynamics
analysis can present a detailed technical explanation of flow separation, but the characteristics
important to this discussion are the production of pressure loss and turbulence. The reducer will
have a significant static pressure drop associated with it since the air velocity is increased (i.e.,

154

VAV-PRC011M-EN

Application Considerations

static pressure is given up for increased velocity pressure). The pressure loss is sometimes
mistaken as a loss due to the function of the terminal unit. The turbulence is at its greatest just
downstream of the reducer. Unfortunately, this is the location of the flow ring at the air-valve inlet.
The reducer will cause the flow ring to give an inaccurate and inconsistent reading because of the
turbulent air.
The solutions to this situation are:
•

Locate the reducer upstream of the terminal unit at least three duct diameters to eliminate flow
separation and turbulence at the unit inlet and to improve the airflow measurement accuracy.

•

Consider proper sizing of the terminal unit in the duct design and account for the pressure loss
of the reducer in the central fan selection if a reducer is required. Be cautious of “oversizing”
a VAV terminal. It is good practice to make sure that the inlet duct velocity at the minimum
airflow setting is no lower than 500 feet per minute.

Improper Use of Flexible Ductwork
While flexible ductwork has many benefits, improper use can cause numerous problems in a VAV
system. Flexible ductwork causes turbulent airflow and relatively large static pressure drops.
Flexible ductwork at a primary damper inlet (i.e., the flow sensor location) may cause flow accuracy
and repeatability problems due to turbulence. The use of flexible ductwork should be primarily
limited to the downstream side of the terminal units in a VAV system. Use of flexible ductwork
upstream of terminal units should be kept to an absolute minimum. All runs of flexible ductwork
should be kept as short as possible. While most know these guidelines, the ease of installation
which flexible ductwork provides is always an enticement to push the limits of what are acceptable
practices.
Static Pressure Measurement Errors
Improper measurement techniques for static pressure can lead many to mistakenly believe that the
terminal unit is causing a large pressure drop in the system. The chief error made here is taking a
static pressure measurement in turbulent locations such as flexible ductwork or near transitions.
This produces invalid static pressure readings. Another error commonly made is trying to read the
static pressure at the same point as the flow sensing device. The inlets to VAV terminal units
produce turbulence and will give poor readings. Flow sensors with their multiple-point averaging
capability are best equipped to deal with this type of flow, while a single-point static probe is not.
Another common error is the incorrect orientation of the static pressure probe. The static pressure
is correctly measured when the probe is oriented perpendicular to the direction of airflow. The
probe, or a part of it, should never be facing the direction of airflow, because the total pressure will
influence the reading of the probe.
