Features and Benefits
Overview
Imagine a comfort system with high efficiency, low operating noise and smart controls while Trane
recognized those with customers concern. Therefore, Trane water source heat pump functions to
be a comfort solution as with an effective system.

The entire range of GEHC (Packaged Water Source Heat Pump) has been designed with
outstanding quality in mind:
• Ease of maintenance
• High efficiency
• Low operating noise

The use of coaxial coil achieves maximum heat transfer and minimum fouling as well as scaling.

The full range GEHC is applicable to small or medium sized buildings, schools, industries, health
care centers and commercial applications.

Flexible Application
The GEHC has flexible configuration in system design. Providing front and side supply air
configurations are significantly convenient for local installation. The hanging brackets reside in each
corner of unit. This particular design eliminates extra clearances required to the product besides of
quick installation.

Accurate Control
Advanced microprocessor functions unit control with visibility of LCD controller or in peers
configuration for system expansion.

Noise Control
State-of-Art acoustical design makes GEHC in minimum noise during operation.

Low Investment
With water source heat pump system, mechanical room could be saved for units allocation, hence
less piping design is required. Therefore, initial cost of investment can be reduced significantly.

Easy Retrofit and Individual Operation

Water source heat pump system offers flexibility for speculative buildings. Extended units can be
installed and connected to an existing system for additional spaces. This also gives space for meter
devices to individuals who pay electricity bills independently. Furthermore, one unit’s failure will
not affect the operation of the whole system.

Installations
Clearance
Access to the unit for service purposes should be provided at installation. All 1/2 through 5 ton
configurations require an 18" (457mm) surround clearance from other mechanical and electrical
equipment (where shown) to enable panel removal from the unit for service/maintenance ability.
Some local codes may require a greater service clearance than listed here. Check all code
requirements prior to unit installations.

Water Pipes Connection

1. Installation of water pipings should be designed in the way that winding upward and downward
placement are reduced as much as possible.
2. Flexible hose is recommended to be installed between unit and system piping. This will reduce
vibration and prevent pipeline leakage effectively.
3. It is recommended to install shut-off device on the supply and return of the system, the unit
may be isolated during service or maintenance situation.
4. Keep sufficient water pressure in the system to ensure water flow rate.
5. A water strainer must be used on an open loop system to keep debris from entering the unit
heat exchanger and to ensure a clean system.
6. The water pipe must be insulated to prevent generation of condensate water.

Drainage Method
1. Install proper trapping to the equipment.
2. When designing the condensate trap for the water-source system, it’s important to consider the
unit’s draw-thru design requiring negative pressure trapping.
3. It is imperative to maintain water in the trap and not allow the trap to dry out during the hot
season. Keeping trap primed always that will ensure flowing water properly.
4. The unit should contain a dual ¼ to 12-inch pitch toward the drain connection. This will insure
proper drainage of the unit.

Duct Design for Noise Control
Noise Control
A water source heat pump is typically located in, or very close to the occupied space. Because
the unit includes both compressor and fan as those with sound source components, proper
acoustical material shall also be considered during an architectural design. Most of the problems
associated with equipment homing noise could be avoided by selecting and locating units
properly. Additionally, acoustic modeling can be used to predict space acoustical performance and
determine cost effective design to meet a specific noise requirement. There are, however, some
general recommendations as a guideline of noise control for designing water source heat pump
systems.

Typical Sound Paths

There are primarily three different types of sound paths:
1. Airborne: This is a path where sound travels with, or against, the direction of airflow. In a HVAC
system, sound travels along with this type of path throughout ductworks or air plenum.
2. Breakout: This typical path is typically associated with sound breaking out and transmitting
through duct walls to space.
3. Transmission: This is a path where sound travels throughout the ceiling, floor and walls.

Ductwork Installation
For water source heat pump that uses ductwork design, in whatever of supply air and return air
distributions are critical against noise control in an occupied space. Typical installation with an
example below helps to keep noise control effectively.
• At least two perpendicular elbows along with supply air duct
• Lining the first 5 ft. (1.5m) at inner surface of supply air duct and length away of the fan discharge.
• The first tee is placed at least two duct diameters downstream from the fan discharge.
• Design supply air grilles in multiple locations.
• Design with low air velocity inside air duct.
• Isolate air ducts, water pipes and electrical connection out of unit vibration.

Unit Installation
1. The best method of obtaining acceptable sound level is to place units at proper locations, for
instance, inside a false ceiling or in an unoccupied area.
2. The unit must be suspended with isolators and maintained about 2.5 meters between units in
order to avoid transmitting vibration noise.
3. Avoid installing units adjacent to hard surfaces without sound wave reflection.
4. For serving sensitive area, one inch thickness of insulation is recommended adhesive to the
bottom surface of unit. This field supplied insulation should be sized in twice of the unit footprint
for absorbing noise effectively while unit in operation.

Notes:
1.Loss power will cause a failure signal and manual reset is necessary.
2.Control valve (CV) and flow switch (FS) shall be purchased by others for field installation.
3.FS is a mandatory device, while CV is an option.
