Smaller
Arcoaireâ R-410A Split-system
Outdoor Units Make Tight Installations Easy
LEWISBURG,
Tenn., Feb. 27, 2009 – Tight installations pose fewer problems
for the new smaller and lighter 
Arcoaire® R-410A split-system air-conditioner and
heat pump outdoor units than they might for some other units.
Now among the smallest available, the 2.5-ton Arcoaire unit previously measuring 21 cubic feet now measures only 9.2
cubic feet!
The government-mandated transition to 13 SEER (Seasonal Energy
Efficiency Ratio) resulted in a size increase for condensers
across the entire HVAC market in 2006. In response to customer
surveys conducted by Arcoaire
manufacturer International Comfort Products (ICP),
dealers asked for smaller outdoor units that will fit
applications with limited available footprint space and can fit
through narrow gates and doorways.
To meet these
dealer requests, ICP designed smaller and lighter units that
don’t sacrifice contractor-friendly installation features,
reliable performance and strong warranties. In fact, the shorter
and smaller new design of these units makes small-space
installation easier.
The redesigned split-system air conditioners and heat pumps
feature a smaller base pan – resulting in reduced freight costs,
reduced warehouse space, easier handling, increased installation
flexibility and a lower profile. But they still offer a number
of outstanding features that make them tougher, quieter, easier
to install and service, and easier to sell. For example:
Tougher
· Post-painted fin coils and baked-on powder coat chassis panels
provide a corrosive-resistant finish.
· Rigid fin design makes fins less susceptible to damage than
previous models.
· Large filter driers are shipped with every unit.
· High- and low-pressure switches help protect the refrigeration
system.
Quieter
· An air-management system with increased fan propeller
diameters improves air distribution without increasing sound.
· Two-speed fan motors, sound jackets and a sound-reducing fan
orifice help achieve quiet operation.
· Tight wire coil guards
with narrow guard spacing offer maximum protection with optimal
airflow.
· Scroll compressors are standard on Arcoaire air conditioners or heat pumps.
Easy to Install and Service
· Comfort Alert™ troubleshooting LED fault indicators
help technicians diagnose most system-related malfunctions.*
· A pre-punched panel in the control box for control accessory
attachment.
Warranties on Arcoaire split-system air conditioners
and heat pumps are among the strongest available, offering up to
10 years of limited warranty coverage on parts, including
compressors and coils, and up to 10 years of No Hassle
Replacement™ limited warranty coverage. The No Hassle
Replacement™ limited warranty provides a new equivalent
replacement unit should the compressor or covered coil fail
during the No-Hassle period (with a labor allowance for the
dealer). Restrictions apply. Action may be required. Contact
your local Arcoaire distributor for details.
