MILWAUKEE – (December 22, 2011) – The Coleman® brand of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) products from Johnson Controls, the global leader in delivering solutions that increase energy efficiency in buildings, has expanded its line of single-packaged heat pumps with the new Apex™ and Apex Magnum 15- and 20-ton R-410A packaged heat pumps.
Coleman’s convertible single-package heat pump line combines standard high-efficiency and advanced economizer controls with installation flexibility and low installation costs. In addition to a Simplicity® control board, all units feature independent refrigeration circuits to ensure efficient part-load operation, while grooved copper tubes and enhanced aluminum-fin construction improve heat transfer.
The heat pumps also utilize a demand frost control scheme. This means a unit will operate in heating mode until a combination of outdoor ambient and outdoor coil temperatures indicates that a defrost cycle is necessary.
Every new heat pump is completely charged, wired, piped and tested at the factory to provide quick and easy field installation. Electric utility knockouts on the unit’s side and bottom ensure easy connections and contribute to reduced installation time and costs. A wide selection of factory-installed options, such as electric heating elements, supply and return smoke detectors, disconnect switches, non-powered ground-fault interrupter (GFI) convenience outlets, single enthalpy economizers, power exhausts and high-static drive blower motors, further reduce installation costs.
Although Apex and Apex Magnum heat pumps are primarily designed for commercial applications that utilize curb mounting on a roof, the units can also be slab-mounted at ground level or set on steel beams above a finished roof. All models are convertible between bottom and horizontal duct connections and are self-contained and assembled on rigid full perimeter base rails, allowing for overhead rigging and fork lift access.
The compressor is internally protected against high pressure and temperature and permanently lubricated condenser and evaporator fan motor bearings need no annual maintenance. The unit’s durable finish, made of powder-painted, galvanized steel, meets 1,000-hour salt spray test requirements.
