Technical Specifications: GSA2(B,Q)D Series High Efficiency Air Conditioner
13 SEER Manufactured Housing System
2 – 4 Ton Capacity
Overview
The GSA2(B,Q)D Series of air conditioners offer exceptional performance. The unit, when combined with engineered coils or air handlers, provides a full line of quality, split system cooling equipment.
Features and Benefits
- QD Models Offer Quick Connect Fittings: Simplify the installation, no brazing, no evacuation required. Charged with refrigerant for 15 feet of lineset.
- BD Models Offer Full Service Valves: These brass valves are easily accessible and simplify servicing of the refrigeration system. Charged with refrigerant for 20 feet of lineset.
- Designed Using Galvanized Steel: With a polyester urethane coat finish, it passes 950 hours of salt spray per ASTM Std. B117.
- Composite Base Pan: Absorbs sound and is corrosion resistant. Composite is also stronger and lighter than steel.
- Permanently Lubricated Motor: A heavy duty PSC motor for long lasting reliability and quiet operation. Requires no maintenance and is completely protected from rain and snow.
- Removable Top Grille Assembly: Allows ease of service from the top without disconnecting fan motor leads.
- High Pressure Switch: Protects against abnormally high system pressures. Auto-reset feature prevents nuisance service visits.
- Liquid Line Filter Drier: Included with unit, factory installed on QD and field installed on BD models.
- One Piece Top/Orifice: Designed for maximum airflow and quiet operation.
- Easy Compressor and Control Access: Designed to make servicing easier for the contractor, access panels are provided to all controls and the compressor from the side of the unit.
- All-Aluminum coils: Aluminum coils in all models which provides high corrosion resistance.
- Powder Coated Wire Guard and Mesh Hail Guard: Will never rust and protects the coil from being damaged by balls, lawnmowers, hail, etc.
