Trane, a brand of Ingersoll Rand, introduces Airfinity XL, the newest, larger design in its Airfinity series of packaged heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) rooftop units now available in Europe.

The Airfinity rooftop is a portfolio of light, compact and modular plug-and-play HVAC units ideal for retail and warehouse applications.
