NORMAN, OKLA. – (June 25, 2009) – The new Ovation^™ line of commercial split cooling and heat pump systems from Luxaire^® (www.joinluxaire.com) uses environmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant and MicroChannel technology to deliver compact, efficient operation in 7.5- to 20-ton capacities.

The Ovation systems are EPAct 2010-compliant and incorporate aluminum MicroChannel coil technology along with scroll compressors to increase system efficiency. One- and two-stage operation improves part-load efficiency and comfort levels, and the capacity range and refrigerant piping configurations (two or four pipes) make Ovation the system of choice for almost any application.

Redesigned from the ground up using the reliable platform of the existing Ovation packaged product, the new system enjoys all the benefits of the original product, including a proven design at a competitive price. Operation is quiet, thanks to vertical discharge condenser fans that direct sound upward and away from any surrounding structures, and rubber mounting that reduces scroll compressor vibrations.

Air handlers feature factory-installed standard and oversized motor options, techni-coated indoor coils for corrosion protection and a standard two-inch filter rack that can easily be field-converted to accept four-inch filters. The air handlers also include adjustable thermostatic expansion valves, liquid line solenoids for capacity reduction and an adjustable motor sheave to allow airflow flexibility in the field.

System units come completely assembled, piped and wired at the factory to provide one-piece shipment and rigging. In the field, Simplicity® microprocessor controls provide easy set-up and programming as well as alarm monitoring. Each unit is pressurized with a holding charge of R-410A refrigerant for storing and/or shipping.

Luxaire products from Johnson Controls, Inc., include high-performance residential central air-conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces and accessories and light-commercial, packaged heating and cooling systems marketed through a network of distributors and delivered to home- and building-owners through independent Luxaire heating and air conditioning dealers.
