Introduction
Introducing Tranes New Model CVGF

Centrifugal Water Chiller
Introduction
The basic gear drive centrifugal water
chiller design was introduced in 1976
and has been proven in thousands of
installations. The Trane Company
continues to deliver its reliability and
energy fitness commitment on its
newest line of gear drive centrifugal
water chillers, the Model CVGF. The
major advantages of the Model CVGF
are:
High reliability
Low sound levels
Compact size
High efficiency at a competitive
market price
Designed to use environmentally
responsible HFC-134a refrigerant.
Expanded ampere rating on unit-
mounted wye-delta starters
The Model CVGF chiller is ideal for
office, hospital, school, hotel, retail
store and industrial buildings. The
gear drive line offers hundreds of
individual evaporator-condenser-
compressor combination selections,
permitting precise tailoring of the
machine capacity to system
requirements. Machine selections can
be computer optimized to provide low
first cost, low operating cost or other
criteria important for a particular
selection. Centrifugal Water Chiller
computer selection program provides
selections in accordance with ARI
standard 550/590. Trane Sales
Engineers are available to assist in
selecting the optimum machine to
satisfy the particular project
requirements.
Turn to the Model CVGF for energy
efficiency provided by the two stage
gear drive centrifugal water chillers
with economizers. The Trane Model
CVGF is your choice for energy fit
operation year after year.
