The heat pump uses R-410a as a refrigerant and has a rated power of 7.0 kW to 17.6 kW and a cooling capacity ranging from 6.7 kW to 15.5 kW.
US supplier of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration and water heating products Rheem has launched a new heat pump for residential applications.
“The RD17AZ is ideal for when installation locations are limited,” the manufacturer said. “But it is also perfect for any system or replacement option where an efficient and streamlined look is desired.”
The heat pump uses R-410a as a refrigerant and ranges in size from 2 to 5 tons. It is worth clarifying that the number of tons of the air conditioner and the heat pump does not refer to its weight, but rather to the amount of heat that the air conditioner can remove from a house in one hour.
It has a nominal power of 7.0 kW to 17.6 kW and a cooling capacity ranging from 6.7 kW to 15.5 kW.
The new product measures 1,020 mm x 92 mm x 42 mm. It reportedly has a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER2) of up to 19 and a heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF2) of up to 8.5.
The manufacturer also said that the heat pump uses a 7mm condensing coil that reduces refrigerant needs by up to 15%. The indicated sound levels are 58 dB. “The inverter-driven, variable-speed dual rotary compressor technology offers fully variable cooling and heating operation between 45% and 100% of capacity,” he further explained.
The system also has integrated Bluetooth connectivity through which users can receive alerts on their smartphones with the EcoNet app developed by Rheem itself.
“RD17AZ was rated the most efficient of 2024, even in cold climates, and works with almost any HVAC system option or as a universal replacement with minimal alterations required,” the company said. |
