Not so much on a Trane RTU, but it is usually indicative of a combustion issue that must be discovered and corrected.
I have a Trane 5 ton rooftop that emits a strong odor from the combustion blower. The unit is about 2 years old. There is no combustion air restriction and the manifold pressure is correct. Anybody ever experience this problem?

Get your Testo out and combustion test it. Amazing what you can find sometimes, even on a new unit.
One thing I never got in deep with is combustion analysis. I've decided I need to really get heavier into this. Any of you guys have good links to informative reading and recommendations on what type of combustion analyzer to get?

There was a local guy that died from co poisoning,,,,while working on a roof top... I wouldn't breathe to much of that until you test it
Do you have a link to that news story?

I stand corrected .... Guy died in a basement working on a natural gas unit.... He did die from CO poisoning...
I could have sworn it happened on a roof top... I had a couple really big units pushing thousands ppm of co out before and I still think it would be a bad idea to huff exhaust in that condition ...roof or enclosed space...
Don't know the company name and don't know his name ... Didn't push my comrade for intimate details...
No harm or foul intended ... Didn't intend to troll either...
Sorry for the bad info
Forgive me for my fault . Again it was not intentional or trolling
I believe it happened in Henderson KY BTW
Here it is...

I know I am getting too much combustion air. I don't know why. Just thought someone may have run across this situation before.

Without a combustion test how can we help you? Check gas pressure inlet and outlet verify what nameplate calls for. The analzyer will give you o2, co,co2, efficency as well other things depending on model. Get back to us with those numbers and someone should be able to give you a place to start.
