Thermal Insulation
All RTHD units are available with optional factory in-
stalled thermal insulation. If the unit is not factory insu-
lated, install insulation over the areas shaded in Figure
29. Refer to Table 15 for types and quantities of insulation
required.
Insulation thickness is determined at normal design con-
ditions which are:
• Standrad comfort-cooling leaving chilled water tem-
perature
• 85ºF Dry bulb ambient temperature
• 75% Relative humidity
Operation outside of normal design conditions as de-
fined above may require additional insulation; contact
Trane for further review.
Note: Liquid line filter, refrigerant charging valves, wa-
ter temperature sensors, drain and vent connec-
tions when insulated must remain accessible for
service.
Note: Use only water-base latex paint on factory-applied
insulation. Failure to do so may result in insula-
tion shrinkage.
Note: Units in environments with higher humidity or
very low leaving water temperature may require
thicker insulation
