 ABSTRACT

This report summarizes the work completed during the first three months of my six-month
internship at Trane Technologies, where I am working as a Product Engineer Intern on the project
titled “Standardization of Residential Outdoor Units.” The primary objective of this project is to
support the transition to R-454B refrigerant by identifying opportunities for part standardization
across different residential HVAC outdoor units.

To achieve this, I have developed Python scripts that automate the extraction of essential
component data from Bill of Materials (BOM). The scripts are designed to filter and organize
specific part details—such as compressors, coils, air systems, cabinetry, control modules, and Tube
assemblies—corresponding to various model numbers. Once the data is extracted, I analyse the
components used in different units to determine the extent of standardization across models that are
designed to operate with R-454B refrigerant.

This project contributes toward improving efficiency and reducing part variation in manufacturing.
Throughout this internship, I have gained hands-on experience in data handling, Python automation,
BOM analysis, and component validation, while also developing a deeper understanding of HVAC
system design and standardization practices.

This report provides an overview of the tools, methodology, and progress made so far, along with
observations and insights that will guide the remaining phase of the project.

 Standardization of Residential Outdoor Units

2.2 Problem Statement

In the development of residential HVAC systems, especially outdoor units, a wide variety of
components are used across different m
models. These variations often arise due to legacy designs, different performance
requirements, and specific refrigerant compatibility. With the shift towards the R-454B
refrigerant, it becomes increasingly important to evaluate and streamline these components
to ensure consistent design practices and efficient resource utilization. However, manually
analysing part numbers and subassemblies from large and complex BOM documents is
time-consuming, error-prone, and lacks scalability.

To address this challenge, there is a need for an automated system that can extract, filter, and
organize BOM data for different unit models and help identify standardization opportunities.
Standardizing components not only simplifies product design and procurement but also
contributes to cost savings, reduced inventory, and better manufacturability. This project
aims to leverage Python-based automation to assist in decision-making during component
selection for R-454B residential outdoor units.

2.3 Proposed System

To tackle the challenges of manual data extraction and inconsistent part usage across
residential outdoor units, a Python-based automation system has been proposed. This system
focuses on parsing structured BOM files, extracting essential part numbers and
subassemblies, and organizing the data in a standardized Excel format. The goal is to enable
efficient analysis of component usage patterns across R-454B refrigerant units, ultimately
leading to the identification of standardization opportunities. The system is designed to be
scalable, reusable, and adaptable for future BOM datasets, thus supporting long-term
product optimization.

CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED

Understanding Complex BOM Structures

At the beginning of the internship, one of the primary challenges was understanding the
complexity and hierarchy of the Bill of Materials (BOM) files. Each BOM contained
multiple levels of assemblies and sub-assemblies, often using varying naming conventions
and level indicators. As a mechanical engineering student with limited exposure to real-time
industrial data structures, interpreting and decoding these files required extensive manual
study and guidance from mentors.

Adapting to Python for Data Extraction

Although I had prior programming experience, applying Python to automate BOM
extraction was initially difficult. Writing efficient scripts that could handle different BOM
formats, filter based on level indicators, and output structured results demanded a steep
learning curve. It was also challenging to ensure that the code dynamically handled missing
or inconsistent data entries.

Ensuring Data Alignment with Model Numbers

One of the technical difficulties encountered was maintaining alignment between extracted
part numbers and their respective model numbers. Since different models shared some
components while others did not, mapping the correct data to the right model without
duplication or misplacement was a meticulous task.

Time Management Between Learning and Execution

Balancing the learning curve with timely execution was another significant challenge. As the
project involved learning new coding techniques, understanding mechanical systems, and
preparing documentation simultaneously, it required proper planning and prioritization to
meet the internship milestones within the available time frame.

 Standardization of Residential Outdoor Units

RESULT AND OBSERVATION

Successful Partial Automation of BOM Data Extraction

During the first half of the internship, a Python-based solution was developed to automate
the extraction of relevant part data from Excel BOM files. The script successfully filters out
part numbers and sub-assemblies based on specific levels (..3, ...4, ....5) and component
categories like Coil, Compressor, Controls, Cabinetry, and Tube Assemblies. This
significantly reduced the time and manual effort required to scan and segregate data across
different residential outdoor unit models.

Structured and Standardized Output Format

The extracted data was systematically organized into a clean and structured output sheet,
where each part category has its own column. This standard format ensures that data for
each model number is uniformly recorded, with missing values replaced with "NA" to
maintain consistency. This organization will help facilitate future component comparisons
and value engineering studies.

Initial Identification of Component Variations

Though only partial data extraction has been completed, early observations indicate that
certain components vary across similar units with minimal technical differences. These
variations raise questions about the necessity of multiple part numbers for similar functions,
providing a solid basis for initiating standardization efforts in the second half of the
internship.

Enhanced Visibility into Sub-Assembly Structures

By focusing on sub-assemblies like, Tube Assembly Manifold, Tube Connecting, etc, the
project has helped map how individual sub-parts contribute to the overall design. This
breakdown has increased understanding of assembly-level dependencies and highlighted
opportunities where common parts can be reused across multiple models.

Scope for Component Standardization

With a clear categorization of components and their usage across multiple units, a scope has
emerged to standardize parts like controls and coils, which often vary by only small
technical or supplier-specific differences. Standardizing these parts could reduce complexity
during design and inventory management while enabling value engineering efforts.

 Standardization of Residential Outdoor Units

CONCLUSION

Over the past three months of the internship, significant progress has been made in
developing a semi-automated Python-based system to extract part numbers and sub-
assemblies from BOM files of residential outdoor HVAC units. The system is capable of
filtering data based on assembly levels and descriptions and presents the results in a
structured format. This output serves as the foundation for identifying component
commonality and opportunities for standardization. The extracted and categorized data helps
provide a clearer picture of how different components and sub-assemblies are used across
various R-454B refrigerant units. This insight lays the groundwork for simplifying
component selection in future product development, reducing design variability, and aiding
value engineering efforts. It also brings clarity on whether design differences are
functionally necessary or driven by sourcing and documentation variations.

This phase of the internship has also contributed immensely to technical learning—ranging
from BOM interpretation and industrial data handling to scripting and data automation using
Python. Understanding the correlation between mechanical components and data structures
has enhanced both analytical and problem-solving skills, aligning well with the objectives of
a mechanical engineering internship. With the foundational data extraction system in place,
the next half of the internship will focus on deeper analysis. This includes comparing part
usage trends, identifying standardization candidates, and supporting cost optimization
strategies. The standardized format of the output file ensures easy integration of future
modules and paves the way for expanded functionality like visualization, trend mapping, or
part clustering.
