Allied Commercial has added 13- to 25-ton models to its high-efficiency K-Series HVAC product line, which currently includes 7.5- to 10-ton high-efficiency gas/electric and electric/electric models introduced earlier this year.
Designed for integration into spec and bid and replacement markets, high-efficiency K-Series models help commercial buildings meet or exceed sustainability standards while helping users to conserve energy and take advantage of federal and local energy-efficiency incentives.
High-efficiency K-Series models offer more than 100 field-selectable options to meet a variety of applications. Each HVAC unit can be made up to 25 percent more efficient with the addition of an optional, Single-Zone VAV (Variable Air Volume) supply fan. All K-Series units come standard with an Eco-Last Coil System that uses up to 52 percent less refrigerant, are up to 59 percent lighter and have up to 20 percent fewer brazed joints than standard coils for increased efficiency and cost savings.
For added installation and service convenience, K-Series models offer several features designed to reduce time on the job. They include an isolated compressor for fast, accurate charge diagnostics; a slide-out blower that allows for quick and easy cleaning and belt adjustment; and an easy-to-reach gas compartment for quick and easy analysis and service.
The new high-efficiency K-Series models offer efficiencies of up to 12.7 EER and 13.6 SEER, compared to standard K-Series HVAC units offering efficiencies of up to 11.4 EER and 13.2 SEER.
Warranties offered on the K-Series rooftop units include a 15-year limited warranty on the optional stainless-steel gas heat exchanger, a 10-year limited warranty on the aluminized gas heat exchanger, a five-year limited warranty on the compressor, a three-year limited warranty on the Eco-Last Coil System and a one-year limited warranty on all covered components.
