Trane XR-11 Outdoor Fan Coil Condenser Heatpump – HVAC Vibration Analysis

A Trane Model XR-11 heatpump with a metal fatigue (metal stress) problem in the center of the top grille. This is all due to the vibration and rotational torque from the fan starting. Vibration analysis is pending.

By appearances alone, it looks like someone stood on top of the unit, but that is not the case here. The metal has become torn in a nearly circular pattern. Hanging under the top support grille is the fan motor and fan blade. Once a small stress crack started, the repeated starting and stopping (torquing) of the fan motor caused a larger stress crack to grow (see center). Eventually the HVAC fan motor and fan blade fell down inside the unit and jammed from its own weight.

Its pretty old. Just do a search for Trane XR11.

Haier HVAC Equipment from Ingram’s Water & Air, AC, Gas Furnace, Heat Pumps & More!

Visit us at http://ingramswaterandair.com

Haier Heat Pumps, Gas Furnace, AC, Coils, Central Air.

Quality construction, compact size, low noise level, and a strong warranty are the main features of this line of equipment.

Its compact size makes it ideal for installations where space is limited, or where appearance requires a small sized condenser. The configuration of the refrigerant connections and power connection helps make installation simpler.

Haier has designed this equipment using a special sound control top, and Haier uses Bristol Benchmark series compressors. Both contribute to very low noise ratings as compared to other manufacturers.

The durable baked-on powder coat paint resists weathering, and the heavy-gauge louvered panels, which protect the coil, are removable for service and cleaning.

The coil itself is both high quality and efficiency and uses rifled copper refrigerant lines.

When replacing older 8 or 10 SEER units, the Haier D1 13 SEER system may produce a substantial reduction in operational cost.

Very few manufacturers offer a better warranty than Haier’s: 10 year ALL parts and compressor warranty!

Trane XB13 heat pumps at 3,250 square foot home

2-zone Trane heat pumps at brand new home near my neighborhood.

It is roughly 3,250 square feet, with 4 HUGE bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The original home on the property was this 1950s cape cod or something, and that was demolished, except for the foundation and the 2-car garage. The foundation was expanded and this home built on top of it.
