Approvals and Warranty

Approvals

Warranty

Refer to Lennox® Basic Limited Warranty at www.Lennox.com for additional details.

Detailed Features

Applications

Note: When heat pumps are used with gas furnaces, a dual-fuel compatible thermostat or zone control system with dual-fuel capabilities must be used (order separately).

Note: Installer must set outdoor unit, connect refrigerant lines and make electrical connections to complete job.

Refrigeration System

R-454B Refrigerant

Note: Total system refrigerant charge is dependent on outdoor unit size, indoor unit size, and refrigerant line length.

Note: Refer to the unit-mounted charging sticker to determine the correct amount of charge required.

Compressor

Single-Stage Scroll Compressor

Scroll Compressor Operation

Two involute spiral scrolls generate crescent-shaped gas pockets. One scroll remains stationary while the other orbits. Gas is drawn into the outer pocket, sealed as the scroll rotates. Pockets move to the center, volume is reduced, and gas is forced out at high pressure. Multiple pockets compress simultaneously for a smooth cycle. Continuous flank contact minimizes leakage and maximizes efficiency. Tolerant to slugging and contaminants.

Compressor Crankcase Heater

(Factory installed on -036, -042, -048, -060 models) Prevents migration of liquid refrigerant into the compressor and ensures proper lubrication.

Optional Accessories (Controls)

Note: Crankcase heater and freezestat should be installed on compressors equipped with a low ambient kit.

Note: A compressor lock-out thermostat should be added to terminate compressor operation below recommended operation conditions.

TXV Ranges:

AHRI Standard 210-240-2023

Cooling or heating capacities are net values, including the effects of blower motor heat, and do not include supplementary heat. Power input is the total power input to the compressor(s) and fan(s), plus any controls and other items required as part of the system for normal operation.

Units which do not have an indoor air-circulating blower furnished as part of the model, i.e., split system with indoor coil only, is established by subtracting from the total cooling capacity 1250 Btu/h per 1,000 cfm, and by adding the same amount to the heating capacity.

Total power input for both heating and cooling is increased by 365 W per 1,000 cfm of indoor air circulated.
