MILWAUKEE – (May 18, 2011) – The Coleman® brand of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment from Johnson Controls, the global leader in delivering solutions that increase efficiency in buildings, introduces three new air handlers that deliver improved efficiency to home comfort systems.
The newest additions to the LX Series – the MX modular blower air handler and the AHE air handler -- feature a high-efficiency brushless, X13-style, DC electronically commutated motor (ECM) for system efficiency gains. The rugged, reliable design of the MX unit includes four-way, multi-position capabilities and a compact size for ease of installation. In addition, versatile blowers and coils can be combined to function as a cooling-only unit, with a heat pump, including electric heat, or with an electric heater as a stand-alone electric furnace.
The Comforteer AHR air handler uses a permanent split capacitator (PSC) motor. Like the AHE, the AHR offers three-way, multi-position capabilities (upflow, horizontal left or right) and requires a field-installed thermal expansion valve (TXV) to provide optimum performance and refrigerant control. Field-installed electric heat options provide cost-effective supplemental heat, and a foil-faced, thermally insulated cabinet prevents sweating.
