A-weighted Sound Power Level [dB(A)]
Accessory Description and Usage
Anti-Short Cycle Timer Solid state timing device that prevents compressor recycling until 5 minutes have elapsed after satisfying call or power interruptions. Use in area with questionable power delivery, commercial applications, long lineset, etc.
- Evaporator Defrost Control SPST Temperature actuated switch that cycles the condenser off as indoor coil reaches freeze-up conditions. Used for low ambient cooling to 30°F with TXV.
- Rubber Isolators 5 large rubber donuts to isolate condensing unit from transmitting energy into mounting frame or pad. Use on any application where sound transmission needs to be minimized.
- Hard Start kit Start capacitor and relay to assist compressor motor startup. Use in areas with marginal power supply, on long linesets, low ambient conditions, etc.
- Extreme Condition Mount Kit Bracket kits to securely mount condensing unit to a frame or pad without removing any panels. Use in areas with high winds, or on commercial roof tops, etc.

Mechanical Specification Options
General
The 2TWX4 shall be fully charged from the factory for matched indoor section and up to 15 feet of piping. This unit must be designed to operate at outdoor ambient temperatures as high as 115°F. Cooling capacities shall be matched with a wide selection of air handlers and furnace coils that are ARI certified. The unit is certified to UL 1995. Exterior must be designed for outdoor application.
Casing
Unit casing is constructed of heavy gauge, galvanized steel and painted with a weather-resistant powder paint. Corrosion and weatherproof CMBP-G30 DuraTuff™ base.
Refrigerant Controls
Refrigeration system controls include the condenser fan and compressor contactor. High and low pressure controls are inherent to the compressor. Another standard feature is the liquid line dryer
Compressor
The Climatuff compressor features internal over temperature and pressure protector, total dipped hermetic motor and thermostatically controlled sump heater. Other features include: roto lock suction and discharge refrigeration connections, centrifugal oil pump, and low vibration and noise.
Condenser Coil
The Spine Fin™ coil shall be continuously wrapped, corrosion resistant all aluminum with minimum brazed joints. This coil is 3/8 inch O.D. seamless aluminum glued to a continuous aluminum fin. Coils are lab tested to withstand 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. The outdoor coil provides low airflow resistance and efficient heat transfer. The coil is protected on all four sides by louvered panels.
Low Ambient Cooling
As manufactured, this unit has a cooling capability to 55°F. The addition of an evaporator defrost control permits operation to 40°F. The addition of an evaporator defrost control with TXV permits low ambient cooling to 30°F.
Accessories
- Thermostats Heating/Cooling (manual and automatic changeover). Sub-base to match thermostat and locking thermostat cover.
- Evaporator Defrost Control See Low Ambient Cooling.
- Outdoor Thermostat Supplemental heat outdoor ambient lockout from 46 to –10°F.

Trane XL14i Heat Pump-FAQs
How do I know if my heat pump is working properly?
Check for:
Consistent heating/cooling
No unusual noises (grinding, rattling)
Proper defrost cycle in winter
No ice buildup on the outdoor unit
Why does my heat pump run constantly?
Possible causes:
Dirty air filter (restricts airflow)
Low refrigerant (reduces efficiency)
Thermostat issues (incorrect settings)
Extreme cold weather (requires longer cycles)
How do I maintain my Trane heat pump?
Clean/replace air filters monthly
Clear debris around the outdoor unit
Check refrigerant levels (professional service)
Schedule annual maintenance (spring & fall)
Are heat pumps noisy?
No—modern Trane heat pumps operate quietly (similar to a refrigerator). Noise issues usually indicate a problem.
How often should a heat pump cycle on/off?
Normal operation:
2–3 cycles per hour
10–20 minutes per cycle
If it’s short-cycling (under 5 minutes), call a technician.
When should I use emergency heat mode?
Only in extreme cold (below 0°F) or if the heat pump fails. Emergency heat uses more energy and should not run long-term.
How do I check heat pump pressure?
Use a manifold gauge:
Red (high side) – measures discharge pressure
Blue (low side) – measures suction pressure
⚠️ Only HVAC professionals should adjust refrigerant levels.
What is a good SEER rating for a heat pump?
14–16 SEER (standard efficiency)
18+ SEER (high efficiency, better savings)
How often should I service my Trane heat pump?
Twice a year:
Spring (before cooling season)
Fall (before heating season)
What’s the difference between SEER and HSPF?
SEER = Cooling efficiency (higher is better)
HSPF = Heating efficiency (higher is better)
