Expanded Cooling Data
Extensive tables provide detailed cooling performance data for each model under various outdoor ambient temperatures (65°F to 115°F) and indoor wet bulb temperatures (59°F to 71°F). This data includes MBh (Thousands of BTU/hr), S/T (Sensible/Total), ΔT (Temperature Difference), kW (Kilowatts), Amps, High Pressure (Hi PR), and Low Pressure (Lo PR). These tables are crucial for system design and performance analysis.
AHRI Ratings
The AHRI (Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute) ratings section lists certified performance data for various outdoor unit and indoor unit combinations. Key metrics include Total Cooling Capacity, Sensible Cooling Capacity, SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio), CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) airflow, and the unique AHRI # for each configuration.
Wiring Diagrams
Wiring diagrams are provided for specific models (e.g., GSX130181E, GSX130(30-60)1B/C/E, GSX130(18-24)1D, GSX130611). These diagrams illustrate the factory wiring, field wiring, component codes (Contactor, Compressor, Fan Motor, etc.), color codes, and high/low voltage connections. A warning regarding high voltage is prominently displayed.
