GE Zoneline Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners

Introduction to Zoneline

GE Zoneline Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTACs) are designed and engineered in the U.S. to provide reliable, quiet, and efficient indoor air solutions for various environments, particularly hospitality settings. With over one million units installed and remarkably low service issues, GE Zoneline PTACs offer unrivaled reliability, consistent performance, and constant guest comfort.

Key Benefits:

• Reliability: Ensures consistent performance and guest comfort.
• Unmatched Service & Support: GE Appliances provides a dedicated factory service network and field team for prompt service.
• Quieter & Better Sound Quality: Designed to be industry-quiet, minimizing disruption for guests.
• Room Noise & Temperature Impact: Addresses guest dissatisfaction related to noise and temperature control, which can affect return visits and recommendations.
• More Power, Less Noise: Features a larger fan compared to leading competitor designs for quieter operation.
• Expert Brainpower: Developed by GE Appliances' team of acoustics and mechanical engineers.
• Remote Management: Compatible with industry-leading management software like SmartHQ for property control.

Quiet Features

• Baked-on Mastic Sound Barrier: A heavy-duty barrier covers the back of the unit for superior sound insulation.
• Blower & DC Motors: A large cross-flow blower and two DC fan motors keep the unit quiet while providing smart fan cooling and heating performance.
• Weather Barrier System Seal: A seal around the unit perimeter keeps noise and dirt outside.

Standard Features

• System Compatibility: Works with various thermostats and energy management systems, including central desk control.
• Efficient Heat Pump: Features exclusive Reverse Cycle Defrost for longer heat pump mode operation and backup resistance heat for severe cold temperatures. Available on all heat pump models.
• Electronic Touch Controls: User-friendly interface with clear LED readouts.
• Heat & Freeze Sentinel: Protects against overheating or freezing, ensuring guest comfort and preventing damage.
• Base Pan: Constructed from durable resin-molded compound (SMC) to resist rust.
• Electronic Temperature Limiting: Prevents expensive overcooling and overheating of rooms, with adjustable factory settings for savings.

Specialty Models

• Corrosion Protection: Double-coated painted surfaces and stainless steel components ensure lasting performance in challenging environments like oceanfront properties.
• Makeup Air: A secondary system provides continuous outdoor air and supplemental dehumidification, operating when outdoor temperatures are above 50°F and relative humidity levels rise above 55%. Available on select models.
• Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ): Features UV-C light technology to reduce airborne viruses (e.g., provides an average 93.9% reduction of airborne viruses within 180 minutes).
• Dry Air 25: Removes 20%-35% more moisture from the air than standard Zoneline air conditioners, making them ideal for high humidity climates.
• Internal Condensate Removal (ICR): Minimizes condensate drainage from the unit when in heat pump mode.

Model Series Overview

GE Zoneline offers various series, including the AZ45 (Cooling/Electric Heat) and AZ65 (Heat Pump) models. These are available in different voltages (230/208V and 265V) and capacities ranging from 7,000 to 15,000 BTUh. Specialty features such as Corrosion Protection, Dry Air 25, Makeup Air, and IEQ are available on select models.

Chassis Nomenclature Example:

A typical model number, like AZ65H12DAB, deciphers as follows:

• AZ: Zoneline brand
• 65: Chassis series (Heat Pump)
• H: Unit type (Heat pump with electric resistance heat backup)
• 12: Nominal cooling capacity (12,000 BTUh)
• D: Voltage/Phase/Frequency (230/208 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz)
• A: Universal power connection
• B: Digital Makeup Air module with universal power connection
• C: Corrosion Protection
• D: Internal Condensate Removal (ICR) system (AZ65 only)
• M: Makeup Air
• P: Dry Air 25 (AZ45 only)

IEQ models utilize 'Q' to indicate the UV-C system is factory installed.
