Trane believes that it is incumbent on manufacturers to serve the industry by
regularly disseminating information gathered through laboratory research,
testing programs, and field experience.
The Trane Air Conditioning Clinic series is one means of knowledge sharing.
It is intended to acquaint a nontechnical audience with various fundamental
aspects of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC). We have taken
special care to make the clinic as uncommercial and straightforward as
possible. Illustrations of Trane products only appear in cases where they help
convey the message contained in the accompanying text.
This particular clinic introduces the reader to the fundamentals of HVAC
acoustics.
