Johnson Controls Inc.: A/C, Heat Pump Condensing Units
July 2, 2012
Added to the Coleman® LX and Comforteer™ series of mid-efficiency 14.5 SEER (seasonal energy efficiency rating) air conditioners and heat pumps are 1.5-ton condensing units. To boost energy efficiency and offer a compact footprint, both 1.5-ton models include a coil constructed of aluminum microchannel tubing and enhanced aluminum fins. The coils are protected from damage by a sturdy polymer mesh applied between the coil face and a coated steel guard. Streamlined power and control wiring connections allow for decreased installation time and costs. The units simplify access and maintenance with fully exposed refrigerant connections and a single electrical panel that covers the electrical controls. Compressors are protected against high temperature and pressure. Isolated compressor mounts help reduce operating noise. The units have a compressor sound blanket and swept-wing fan blade for low sound (on LX models). SEER ratings meet the Energy Star® level of 14.5 SEER with a standard PSC (permanent split capacitor) indoor section, and meet or exceed 16 SEER when matched with single- or variable-speed ECM (electronically commutated motor) indoor sections.
Thanks to generous tax credits and rebates being offered by utilities, sales of heat pumps will likely increase exponentially in the coming years, so it’s important to understand the wide range of equipment that is currently available. In this webinar series, we will examine each of the 9 different types of heat pumps.
