AVV Series Variable Speed ECM Single Piece Multi-Position Air Handler - 3.1 Ton, 17.5"W

This high-efficiency air handler is built for durability, performance, and installation versatility, making it an ideal choice for modern HVAC systems. It features RC2 Rigid Case Construction, which includes an internal endoskeleton for enhanced structural integrity, a smooth exterior finish, and insulation retention. The powder-painted G30 galvanized steel cabinet resists corrosion and rust creep, while critical structural components made of aluminum or G90 galvanized steel ensure long-term durability. At the core of its performance is the MaxAlloy coil, constructed from high-quality aluminum for reliable, long-lasting efficiency and corrosion resistance. An improved insulation design, with a single-piece construction and no external screws, minimizes thermal transmission and prevents sweating. The foil-faced insulation allows for easy cleaning and maintains indoor air quality. For optimal condensate management, the unit is equipped with a low-retention thermoset drain pan featuring a positive slope to reduce the risk of mold or contamination. Designed for compact spaces, the air handler offers a 20.5-inch case depth, ideal for tight applications and attic installations. The unit supports Chatleff-style thermostatic expansion valves (TXVs) for seamless refrigerant compatibility without the need for brazing, and select models offer a factory-installed TXV for added convenience. It achieves 2% or less total airflow leakage under both positive and negative pressure conditions, verified through duct leakage testing. For added serviceability, it includes an enhanced internal filter rack compatible with standard 1-inch filters and accommodates 6HK field-installed electric heat kits, offering heat capacities to match various application needs. A direct-drive, variable-speed ECM blower motor ensures precise airflow control, quieter operation, and energy-efficient performance throughout the year.
