CFCs such as HCFCs and HFCs. Responsible Refrigerant Practices! Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures.

Warnings, Cautions and Notices WARNING Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required! All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/ state electrical codes.
Note: The unit serial number and order number is required when ordering parts or requesting service for a Trane air handler. Figure 1. Performance air handler section nameplate CLCH-SVX08A-EN...
General Information Product Information Model and serial numbers for the gas heat section are designated on the nameplate located on the piping-side access door inside the section. Record the information below for a permanent record of the equipment installed on your job site. The nameplate also contains the range of settings for which the gas heat unit is capable.
General Information Description The gas heat section consists of a drum-and-tube heat exchanger, burner, gas train components, and a control panel for electrical connections. It is an integral part of the entire air-handling system. An access door is provided for service and maintenance of the burner and gas train components. The gas heat section must be in a blow-thru position downstream from the supply fan.

Pre-Installation Gas Heat Sections Upon Arrival at Jobsite Gas heat sections arrive at the jobsite with an integral baseframe for the purpose of mounting units to a housekeeping pad or roof curb. The baseframe variables in height from the standard 2.5- inches to 8 inches.
Note: Trane warranty does not cover equipment damage due to negligence during storage. Indoor Air Handler Gas Heat Sections For a gas heat section designed for indoor use, Trane recommends indoor storage. If outdoor storage is necessary, select a solid, well-drained area. Concrete or black top surfaces are recommended.
Installation WARNING Improper Unit Lift! Do not lift the unit from top! Lift from lifting lugs only located at bottom of unit. Test lift unit approximately 24 inches to verify proper center of gravity lift point. To avoid dropping of unit, reposition lifting point if unit is not level.

Installation Service Clearance Recommendations A minimum clearance of the section width plus 12 inches on the access door side of the gas heat section is recommended for routine maintenance. This clearance provides enough room to replace the heat exchanger in the event of failure. The section side panels must be removed to access the heat exchanger.
When specifying gas heaters, the engineer should provide the MBh and airflow required at altitude. All Trane literature is based on nominal outputs at sea level. It is recommended that the services of an experienced, qualified gas heat technician be employed to adjust air-fuel linkages for proper combustion.
Installation Separated combustion can be a desirable option, but will require more field-installation time and material. The burner fans are not sized to handle any static in the combustion air stream. A booster fan will likely be required to overcome combustion air duct static. Combustion air cannot be ducted directly to the combustion air fan.
Installation Airflow from the supply fan should enter on the drum (or primary) side of the heat exchanger (Figure 6) and exit on the tube (or secondary) side (Figure Figure 6. Entering airside (drum or primary) of gas heat Figure 7. Leaving air side (tube or secondary) of gas heat section section...
Installation Flue Stack Installation Outdoor Gas Heat Section The flue stack for outdoor gas heat sections ships inside the gas heat section (see Figure 10). Attach the flue stack to the flue collar and secure it with screws as indicated in Figure 11.
Piping WARNING Hazardous Gases and Flammable Vapors! Exposure to hazardous gases from fuel substances have been shown to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or use of this product could cause flammable mixtures. To avoid hazardous gases and flammable vapors follow proper installation and set up of this product and all warnings as provided in this manual.
Piping • If the gas pressure regulator serves more than one heating unit, it must be sized appropriately to ensure that the inlet gas pressure at each unit is 7 to 14 inches wc while all burners are firing. Nine inches wc is required for 1250 to 2000 10:1 turndown heaters. Gas pressure must not exceed 14 inches wc when all units are off.
Wiring WARNING Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required! All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/ state electrical codes.

Operation 7. Remove any debris from combustion air inlets and/or hoods. Note that some combustion air inlets are located on the floor panel of the piping vestibule. Insure the openings are not blocked. 8. For units with burners size 1250 and larger, ensure exhaust fan rotation is correct. Figure 16.

Operation Final Check Out 1. Check the gas pressure at the burner manifold. It should be the same pressure that is indicated on the Manifold Pressure at Max. Input nameplate at full fire. Refer to the Power Flame burner nameplate for this value. 2.
6. The gas-valve actuator slowly modulates open or closed in response to the heat load required in the building. 7. Complete the start-up checklist and send a copy as directed to Trane to validate the warranty. Normal Shutdown When the system no longer requires heat, the temperature control system opens the heat start contacts.
