Hydronic Air Handlers
New units feature front or bottom return air position and factory or field installed heater kits
NORMAN, OKLA. - (June 6, 2008) - Johnson Controls recently introduced the GuardianAire Wall Mount Electric and Hydronic Air Handlers. The new air handlers are designed for 13 SEER apartment and condo applications and offer a front or bottom return air position.
The flexible wall mount units are available for cooling or heat pump applications and can be ordered with a factory installed piston metering device. Factory or field installed thermostatic expansion valves are also available for both R-22 and R-410A refrigerants.
The GuardianAire line of air handlers offers a choice of factory or field installed heater kits in a variety of sizes: 3, 5, 8 and 10 kW electric heat kits and 2, 3 and 4 row hydronic heat kits. The electric heat kits include a circuit breaker, and the hydronic kits are offered with or without water pumps.
All GuardianAire Wall Mount Electric and Hydronic Air Handlers are ARI certified and can be matched with York®, Coleman®, Luxaire®, Fraser-Johnston® and Evcon® condensers and heat pumps. The units’ 22-inch cabinet allows the air handlers to fit between standard stud spacing. Made from sturdy, galvanized steel, the pre-painted cabinet is fully insulated with ½-inch foil faced insulation to prevent sweating and mold growth and provide excellent R-value. Attached offset hanging brackets allow the unit to be hung inside a closet or installed in the wall with a decorative grill.
Direct drive, multi-speed blowers circulate air quietly and efficiently. Motor speeds can be easily selected via motor terminals, and swing-mounted blowers ensure easy removal for service.
