Trane, by Trane Technologies, announced the new Trane Hydronic Branch Conductor that helps retrofit and new buildings achieve higher energy efficiency and zone comfort from decarbonized, electrified heating and cooling without major structural disruptions. The Hydronic Branch Conductor, patent pending, supports simultaneous heating and cooling capabilities, and in certain applications can improve heating efficiency by more than 35%.
When paired with hydronic heat pump systems, building owners and managers can:
- Change heating and cooling loads zone by zone multiple times a day without the need to switch from hot to cold water seasonally for the entire building;
- Replace six-way valves at each terminal unit on a branch with a single conductor; and
- Convert existing buildings with 140 to 180° F hot water to a more energy-efficient 105° F hot water electrified heating supply.
The Hydronic Branch Conductor is ideal for education and government buildings, commercial offices, hotels, medical offices, and high-rise residential buildings with multiple thermal zones.
