Coleman
Johnson Controls has added 1.5-ton condensing units to the Coleman® LX and Comforteer™ series of mid-efficiency 14.5 SEER air conditioners and heat pumps.
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.
Other features include:
-
Compressors protected against high temperature and pressure.
-
Isolated compressor mounts to help reduce operating noise.
-
Permanently lubricated motor bearings requiring no annual maintenance.

Samsung
Quietside Corp. introduces their bacteria eliminating Samsung Vivace mini split air conditioner. Each Vivace indoor unit has a built-in Micro Plasma Ion zone, which improves the indoor air quality by eliminating biological bacteria, molds and allergy causing agents. The Samsung Vivace also uses various filters in a multi-step air purifying health care system to remove virtually all elements that are harmful to the body. Samsung uses Silver Nano coating on both the filters and the evaporator to trap and remove dust particles as well as to exterminate fungi and unpleasant odors. The Samsung Vivace has three sizes in 12, 18 and 24,000 BTUH that can fit most residential applications. | www.Quietside.com
WaterFurnace
WaterFurnace International, Inc. introduces the 5 Series, an upgrade to the popular Envision® product line that delivers whole-home comfort efficiently. The 5 Series 500A11 combines forced air heating and air conditioning and generates a portion of a home's hot water, all from a single unit. Available in nine single-speed and six dual-capacity sizes from 1 to 6 tons, the geothermal heat pump system uses R-410A refrigerant and features a variety of advanced technology and components. Copeland Scroll™ compressors are mounted on double isolation plates for extra quiet operation. Dual capacity units include Scroll UltraTech™ compressors for added efficiency and reliability. | www.waterfurnace.com
York
Johnson Controls has expanded its York® LX and Latitude™ series of mid-efficiency air conditioners and heat pumps with the addition of 14.5 SEER condensing units.
The 1.5-ton models feature the same compact footprint and height as 2-ton models in the series. When used with York's variable-speed indoor products, the air conditioners can achieve efficiency levels that qualify them for the Energy Star® designation for a federal tax credit.
Upward airflow carries the normal operating noise of the models away from the living area and a rigid top panel reduces any motor sound in the units. In addition, isolated compressor mounts minimize compressor-operating sounds and, in the case of the LX model, a louvered steel coil guard, swept-wing fan blade and compressor blanket ensure quiet operation. | www.yorkhvacdealer.com
