Bryant 186cnv048000 Ac Condensing Unit 4 Ton 21 Seer R-410A

Product Description

The BRYANT 186cnv048000 is a 4-ton residential air conditioner condensing unit rated at 48,000 BTU/h with a 21 SEER and 22 SEER2 efficiency rating. It operates on R-410A refrigerant and runs on 208-230 VAC single-phase, 60 Hz power. The unit uses a rotary compressor paired with a variable-speed PSC condenser motor rated at 1/3 HP and 200-800 RPM, delivering 5,200 CFM of airflow. Energy Star certified and UL Listed, this condensing unit is intended for licensed HVAC technicians performing residential cooling system installations or replacements.

This unit is designed for residential split-system cooling applications where high-efficiency performance is required. The inverter-driven variable-speed motor and rotary compressor allow the unit to modulate capacity, making it well suited for installations where precise comfort control and energy efficiency are priorities. Liquid and suction line connections are sweat or braze type, with an OD liquid line size of 3/8 inches and an OD suction line size of 7/8 inches. Maximum piping length is 250 feet. The unit carries a gray finish and produces a sound level between 53 and 68 dBA during operation.
