Amana DCP153J35BA Ptac Air Conditioner 15000 Btu 10.6 Eer

Product Description

The AMANA DCP153J35BA is a 42-inch packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) designed for both residential and commercial through-the-wall installations. It delivers 14,500 BTU of cooling at 208 volts and 14,700 BTU at 230 volts, with an EER of 10.6 at both voltage ratings. The integrated electric resistance heat strip provides 8,900 BTU at 208 volts and 10,900 BTU at 230 volts, with a heat strip capacity of 3.5 kW at 230 volts. The unit operates on R32 refrigerant, which carries a lower Global Warming Potential than R410A. A 20-amp power cord is included. HVAC technicians and facility maintenance professionals are the primary installers of this unit.

The DCP153J35BA is suited for hotel guest rooms, apartments, condominiums, assisted living facilities, and light commercial spaces where individual zone control is required. It fits a standard 42-inch PTAC sleeve measuring 42 inches wide by 16-1/16 inches high by 14-1/8 inches deep. The required wall cutout is 42-1/4 inches wide by 16-1/4 inches high. The sleeve and rear grille are not included and must be ordered separately. The unit supports front-desk control configuration for temperature limiting in multi-unit hospitality installations, and it is also compatible with a wired wall thermostat for remote temperature management.

Key Features

• 14,500 BTU cooling at 208 volts and 14,700 BTU at 230 volts with a consistent 10.6 EER
• 3.5 kW electric resistance heat strip at 230 volts providing up to 10,900 BTU of supplemental heat
• R32 refrigerant with lower Global Warming Potential compared to R410A
• 3 fan speeds plus fan-only mode; electronic digital controls with temperature display in degrees F or degrees C
• Evaporator freeze protection automatically cycles the compressor off when evaporator temperature drops too low
• Condensate dispersion system directs excess moisture onto the outdoor coil for efficient evaporation
• Washable front-accessible air filters and concealed front-panel screw for tamper resistance

Compatibility

The DCP153J35BA is a direct replacement for the DCP153A35AA (R410A) unit and fits any standard 42-inch PTAC sleeve. New installations require a compatible 42-inch sleeve and rear grille, sold separately.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified HVAC technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and the manufacturer instructions. The unit requires a dedicated 208/230-volt circuit with a 20-amp power cord supplied; verify that the existing sleeve dimensions match before installation. Shut off electrical power to the circuit before making any connections or removing the existing unit. The sleeve and rear grille are not included and must be installed prior to inserting the chassis.
