Horizontal configurations of variable-speed water-source heat pumps designed for commercial applications are available. The models feature sizes up to 5 tons and complement existing vertical models in the Trane Axiom™ variable-speed portfolio. Axiom water-source heat pumps are capable of full integration with building automation systems. They feature factory-programmed Tracer™ UC400 controls, which utilize proprietary algorithms specifically designed to maximize the unique efficiency potential of onboard eFlex™ compressor and fan technology. The eFlex variable-speed compressors and fans respond to changing demands by varying their speeds, optimizing energy consumption while improving reliability, acoustics, and comfort. Some configurations of the water-source heat pumps with eFlex technology reach an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 40. Combined with the integrated controls, eFlex technology enables custom on-off cycling modes and airflow parameters, reduces wear and tear, and increases occupant comfort by providing a more consistent environment. In addition to more precise temperature control, the system optimizes the compressor-to-fan speed ratio to provide customers with enhanced dehumidification benefits.
