11 Allow the unit to dry thoroughly 
before putting it back into 
service.
12 Replace all panels and parts and 
restore electrical power to the 
unit.
13 Be careful any contaminated 
material does not contact other 
areas of the unit or building. 
Properly dispose of all 
contaminated materials and 
cleaning solution.
Coil Winterization
Water coil winterization procedures 
consist primarily of draining water 
from the coil before the heating 
season. Trane recommends flushing 
the coil with glycol if coils will be 
exposed to temperatures below 35 
degrees.
Install field-fitted drains and vents to 
permit winterization of coils not in 
use and to assist in evacuating air 
from the water system during 
startup. If draining is questionable 
because of dirt or scale deposits 
inside the coil, fill the coil with glycol 
before the heating season begins.
Note: On many unit sizes, there are 
multiple coils in the coil module. Be 
sure to winterize all coils in a given 
coil module.
CAUTION
Use Approved Glycol!
Use a glycol approved for use with 
commercial cooling and heating 
systems and copper tube coils. 
Failure to do so may result in 
equipment damage.
CAUTION
Avoid Coil Freezeup!
Properly drain and vent the coils 
when they are not in use. Trane 
recommends glycol protection in all 
possible freezing applications. 
Failure to properly protect coils may 
result in equipment damage.
Type W, P2, P4, P8, WD, 5D, 
and 5W Coils
1
Remove the vent and drain 
plugs.
2
Blow the coil out as completely 
as possible with compressed air.
3
Fill and drain the coil several 
times with full strength glycol so 
that it mixes thoroughly with the 
water retained in the coil. 
4
Drain the coil out as completely 
as possible.
5
To ensure no water remains in 
the coil, do not replace the vent 
and drain plugs until the coils are 
put back into service.
CAUTION
Twisted Tubes!
Use care in removing header plugs 
from type P2, P4, and P8 coils. 
Overtorquing may result in twisted 
tubes.
Type K Coils
1
Remove all vent and drain plugs.
2
Allow the water to drain from the 
coil.
3
Remove the header covers. 
4
If tubes are fouled, clean the 
tubes with a nylon or wire brush.
5
To ensure no water remains in 
the coil, do not replace the 
header covers until the coils are 
put back into service.
Note: When the coils are put back 
into service, use new gaskets. Trane 
recommends washers be used 
under the bolt heads and bolts be 
evenly tightened to 50 ft.-lbs torque.
Moisture Purge 
Cycle
By it’s very nature, any HVAC unit 
with a cooling coil serves as a 
dehumidifier, reducing the 
surrounding air’s ability to hold 
water vapor as its temperature falls. 
This normally doesn’t present a 
problem when the unit is running. 
However, when the fan stops, water 
vapor condenses on the cold metal 
surfaces inside the air handler and 
remains there until the air warms 
sufficiently to re-evaporate it.
Providing a moisture purge cycle 
15 to 30 minutes after shutdown 
disperses the cold, humid air inside 
the air-handling system more evenly 
throughout the building. This four-
step cycle:
Closes the outdoor air dampers.
Turns off the cooling coil.
Opens any variable-air-volume 
terminals connected to the air 
handler.
Operates the supply fan for 
10 to 15 minutes.
Rotates inlet guide vanes full 
open to full close.
Air movement discourages water 
condensation and hastens re-
evaporation of any condensate that 
does happen to form. This simple 
preventative measure effectively 
combats microbial growth and curbs 
moisture-related deterioration of air-
handling components.
