MILWAUKEE – (August 4, 2011) – Three new air handlers from the Luxaire® brand of Johnson Controls, the global leader in delivering solutions that increase energy efficiency in buildings, are delivering improved efficiency to Luxaire LX and Climasure™ home comfort systems.
Two new units in the LX Series of heating and cooling products – the MX modular blower and the AHE air handler – feature a standard high-efficiency brushless, X-13-style DC electronically commutated motor (ECM) that delivers efficiency gains. The third unit – the Climasure AHR air handler – uses a permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor.
Both the AHE and the AHR offer three-way, multi-position capabilities (upflow, horizontal left or right) and require a field-installed thermal expansion valve (TXV) to provide optimum performance and refrigerant control. In addition, field-installed electric heat options provide cost-effective supplemental heat and a foil-faced, thermally insulated cabinet prevents sweating.
The compact size and four-way, multi-position capabilities of the new Luxaire MX modular blower ensure ease of installation. The unit also features versatile blowers and coils that can be combined to function with either a heat pump or air conditioner. The field installed electric heat can be used with any combination or even as a stand-alone electric furnace.
