Product Description
The Trane A5HL5036A1000 is a side-discharge heat pump condenser rated at 36,000 BTU/h (3 tons) with a 15.2 SEER2 efficiency rating. It operates on a 208/230-volt, single-phase, 60 Hz electrical supply and uses R454B refrigerant with an inverter-driven, multi-speed compressor. The unit features an aluminum/copper coil construction and is controlled via a 24-volt system control interface. Licensed HVAC technicians install this condenser as the outdoor section of a split-system heat pump, pairing it with a compatible indoor air handler or coil to deliver both heating and cooling from a single system.
This unit is designed for residential applications requiring a compact, side-discharge footprint where space or airflow direction is a design constraint. The low-profile side-discharge configuration suits installations along building perimeters, in tight mechanical yards, or wherever top-discharge units are impractical. As the outdoor condensing section, it pairs with an appropriate indoor coil and air handler to form a complete heat pump system. The 24-volt control interface is standard for residential split-system wiring.
Key Features
- 36,000 BTU/h (3-ton) heating and cooling capacity
- 15.2 SEER2 seasonal energy efficiency rating
- Inverter-driven multi-speed compressor for variable-capacity operation
- R454B refrigerant — low global-warming-potential alternative to R-410A
- Aluminum/copper coil construction for corrosion resistance and heat transfer efficiency
- Side-discharge airflow configuration for flexible placement
- 24-volt system control interface compatible with standard residential thermostats
Compatibility
Designed for use as the outdoor condensing unit in a residential split-system heat pump application operating on 208/230-volt, single-phase power. Compatible indoor components must be rated for use with R454B refrigerant and sized to match 3-ton capacity. Consult Trane engineering data for approved indoor unit pairings to confirm rated system efficiency.
Installation Notes
Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding an EPA Section 608 certification, as this unit contains regulated refrigerant (R454B). Disconnect and lock out all electrical power before servicing the unit or making refrigerant connections. The refrigerant circuit must be properly evacuated before charging; follow current ASHRAE 15 safety guidelines and all applicable local mechanical codes. Do not operate the unit without verifying that the indoor coil, line set, and control wiring are fully connected and that refrigerant charge has been set per the manufacturer service documentation.
