Bryant 288bnv037000 Heat Pump Condensing Unit 3 Ton 18 Seer

Product Description

The BRYANT 288bnv037000 is a 3-ton variable speed heat pump condensing unit designed for residential split-system applications. It delivers up to 18 SEER cooling efficiency and up to 11 HSPF heating efficiency using an inverter-driven rotary compressor with up to 5 stages of operation. The ECM condenser fan motor and TXV metering device support precise load matching across a wide range of conditions. Rated at 36,000 BTU/h cooling and operating on single-phase 208-230 VAC at 60 Hz, this unit is Energy Star rated and uses R-410A refrigerant. It is installed by licensed HVAC technicians as the outdoor section of a residential heating and cooling system.

This condensing unit is suited for residential installations where variable capacity operation is needed for improved dehumidification, zoning performance, and comfort control. The compact cabinet measures 31.1875 inches long by 31.1875 inches wide by 38.9375 inches tall, making it a practical fit on standard residential pads. The unit is designed for flexible system matching with a wide variety of compatible indoor units and controls within the Evolution system family. Maximum refrigerant piping length is 100 feet, supporting installations where the indoor and outdoor units are separated by typical residential distances.
