FORM NO. A11-168 REV. 2 Supersedes Form No. A11-168 Rev. 1 Supersedes Form No. A11-147 Rev. 8 CONDENSING UNITS SERIES Nominal Sizes 1 1 /2 to 5 Tons [5.28 kw] to [17.58 kw] Seven Models 10 SEER with efficiencies up to 10.70 in certain matched systems. Cooling Capacities 17,900 to 57,000 BTU/HR [5.2 kw] to [16.7 kw] The Rheem Classic Series Condensing Unit was designed with performance in mind. These units offer comfort, energy conservation and dependability for single, multi-family and light commercial applications. Attractive, louvered wrap-around jacket protects the coil from yard hazards and weather extremes. Top grille is steel reinforced for extra strength. Cabinet is powder painted for all-weather protection. Air is discharged upward away from bushes and shrubs. The discharge pattern of the top grille provides minimum air restriction, resulting in quiet fan operation. Exclusive Combination Grille/Motor Mount secures the motor to the underside of the discharge grille. The grille protects the motor windings and bearings from rain and snow. All controls are accessible by removing one service panel. Removable top grille provides access to the condenser fan motor and condenser coil. Single speed motor designed for low speed, quiet, energy-saving operation. All models meet or exceed a 1000-hour salt spray test per ASTM B117 Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray Testing Apparatus. * CERTIFIED UNDER THE A.R.I. CERTIFICATION PROGRAMA.R.I.

Engineering Features Series Condensing Units All controls and compressor are accessible for servicing by removal of the service panel. Drawn Painted Base Pan. COPELAND SCROLL COMPRESSOR The Copeland scroll compressor is the key to efficiency for this Rheem model. It s the latest in high-efficiency compressor technology. The advanced scroll compressor offers low noise and vibration characteristics and features tolerance to liquid refrigerant and system contamination. The Copeland Scroll also has low start torque, eliminating start problems in the field. And its unique design enables the Condensing unit to perform more efficiently. 1. Compressor is hermetically sealed and incorporates internal high temperature motor overload protection, and durable insulation on the motor windings. It is externally mounted on rubber grommets to reduce vibration and noise. 2. All refrigerant connections are on the exterior of the unit, located close to the ground for neat appearing installations. 3. Cabinet is constructed of powder painted galvanized steel. The full wraparound louvered grille protects the coil from damage. 4. Copper TubeAluminum Fin coils are used on all models. 5. The control box is located in the top corner of the cabinet providing for easy access through a service panel. 6. Service valves are standard on all models. 7. Power and control wiring are kept separate. 8. Every unit is factory charged and tested. 9. Separate compressor compartment for easy service access. 10. Drawn, painted base pan for extra corrosion resistance and sound reduction. Field Installed Accessories Compressor Time Delay ControlCompressor will remain off for five minutes after power or thermostat interruption, allowing system pressures to equalize. (Model No. RXMD-B01) (3-phase models only). Low Ambient ControlCycles outdoor fan to maintain adequate condensing pressures assuring liquid refrigerant flow to the coil. Allows indoor cooling with outdoor temperatures down to 0 F [ 17.8 C]. (Model No. RXAD-A04) It is recommended that this control be installed in units to be operated at outdoor ambient temperatures under 70 F [21 C]. High Pressure Control(Model No. RXAB-A03) Low Pressure ControlDeactivates system if refrigerant loss occurs. (Model No. RXAC-A03) Crankcase HeaterAvailable through the PROSTOCK Department.

Example 1: A 5 ton [17.58 kw] condensing unit with a total line length of 125 feet [38.10 m] with a vertical separation of 101 feet [30.78 m] utilizing a 1 /2" [12.7 mm] liquid line: Table = 38 feet [11.58 m] maximum vertical separation for 125 feet [38.10 m] run. Separation exceeds table by (101-38) = 63 feet [19.20 m]. Therefore, reduce the indoor coil flow-check piston 2 + 6 = 8 sizes (For example, a #89 piston would reduce to a #81 piston) ➂ Do not exceed 120 feet [36.58 m] maximum vertical separation. ➃ No changes are required for expansion valve coils. ➄ Do not exceed table values for capillary tube coils. ➅ Always use the smallest liquid line possible to minimize system charge. ➆ Chart may be used to size horizontal runs. NOTES: ➀ This chart is applicable for condensing units. Example 1: A 2.5 ton [8.79 kw] condensing unit with a total line length of 75 feet [22.86 m] with a vertical separation of 30 feet [9.14 m] requires a liquid line size of 5 /16" [7.94 mm]. ➁ This chart may also be used to size horizontal runs. Example 2: A 5 ton [17.58 kw] condensing unit may have a total horizontal run of 100 feet [30.48 m] if using the 3 /8" [9.53 mm] liquid line. The total horizontal run if using 1 /2" [12.7 mm] liquid line size will be 150 feet [45.72 m] ➂ Do not exceed vertical separation as indicated on the chart. ➃ Always use the smallest liquid line possible to minimize system charge. ➄ No changes required for flow-check pistons or expansion valve coils.
