The VariTrac History Trane brought their expertise in variable air volume (VAV) controls into the changeover-bypass zoning market with the introduction of VariTrac in 1989.

The first generation of VariTrac was a 16-zone pressure dependent system. The zone dampers featured the same electronic zone controller Trane developed for its VAV boxes

Introduction Why Changeover-Bypass VAV Packaged unitary systems offer one of today’s most popular and cost- effective methods for supplying conditioned air to small commercial buildings. The unitary machine most commonly used has a constant volume fan with a fixed outside air damper and a single thermostat. While this may meet the thermal requirements of the space, it may not meet all the comfort requirements of the space using a single thermostat for control. Changeover-bypass VAV is a design

Supply Air Tempering It is now possible to enable the Supply Air Tempering function in a Voyager via the CCP. This allows the Voyager to cycle a stage of heat on and off to warm up the supply air stream and better manage the load created by increased ventilation air requirements. CO2 Based Demand Control Ventilation CO2 sensors many now be connected to VariTrac zone UCMs. Up to one sensor per zone on the system may be applied. The CCP Demand Control Ventilation configuration screen allows you

Selling Changeover-Bypass-VAV Systems Trane’s largest competitor for selling VAV zoning systems is Trane! We sell more rooftops with programmable thermostats than our competitors do selling their VAV zoning systems. In other words, even though we have a formidable competitor with Carrier’s VVT system, we would and could hold a similar share in the marketplace by selling Trane’s VariTrac over single units with programmable stats without even worrying about our competition. The most effective wa
