Technical session on MVAC solutions for commercial and industrial usage

Abans jointly with TRANE-Ingersoll Rand (USA), manufacturers of the world’s most popular Trane chillers and air conditioning systems, hosted a technical session on 4 March 2013 at The Kingsbury, Colombo, on the topic ‘Making the Right Choice when choosing MVAC Solutions’.

With the participation of senior consultants, investors and decision makers it was a very fruitful event for the entire gathering as Trane experts delivered an in-depth presentation on how to select the perfect chiller.

John Leslie – Global Product Specialist for CenTraVac Chillers, Trane USA delivered the key session and Sanjeev Seth – Head of Sales for SAARC countries, presented information and calculations required for the correct application and selection of MVAC systems, taking into consideration the climate conditions and load factors to select and operate the best, most efficient chillers.

The presentation of refrigerant R123 and its acceptance globally was elaborated by John Leslie, explaining the benefits to the customer in terms of total cost of ownership. The refrigerant is widely used globally as R123 and it has a minimal, almost negligible effect on global warming and ozone depletion compared to other refrigerants. Trane as a leading manufacturer of chillers is focused towards energy efficient eco friendly systems.

Further, he enthused about exciting new technologies from Trane and when to use VFD centrifugal chiller according to the weather conditions in Sri Lanka, with an explanation of lift vs. load variation.  

Seth spoke on the topic Trane chiller plant control systems and special services such as automatic tube brushing system and adiabatic cooling systems.

Trane was incorporated in 1913 in the United States of America (USA) and it quickly became a pioneer in air conditioning by 1931. It continued in similar vein, winning the praise of a multitude of clients worldwide and celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
