Abstract
Recently, a model consisting of triangular trimers covering the triangular lattice was introduced and its exact free energy given. In this paper we pr esent the complete calculation leading to this exact result. The solution i nvolves a coordinate Bethe ansatz with two kinds of particles. It is simila r to that of the square-triangle random tiling model by Widom and Kalugin. The connection of the trimer model with related solvable models is discusse d.
