Equipment Selection

The installation of geothermal heat pump units and all associated components, parts, and accessories which make up the installation shall be in accordance with the regulations of ALL authorities having jurisdiction and MUST conform to all applicable codes. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to determine and comply with ALL applicable codes and regulations.

General

Proper indoor coil selection is critical to system efficiency. Using an older-model coil can affect efficiency and may not provide the customer with rated or advertised EER and COP. Coil design and technology have dramatically improved operating efficiency and capacity in the past 20 years. Homeowners using an older coil are not reaping these cost savings and comfort benefits. NEVER MATCH AN R-22

INDOOR COIL WITH AN R-410A COMPRESSOR SECTION.

Newer indoor coils have a larger surface area, enhanced fin design, and grooved tubing. These features provide a larger area for heat transfer, improving efficiency and expanding capacity. Typical older coils may only have one-third to one- half the face area of these redesigned coils.

Indoor Coil Selection - HTS GeoMax 2

HCI split system heat pumps are rated in the ARI directory with a specific indoor coil match. GeoMax 2 (HTS) models are rated with Carrier/Bryant FV4 or FE4 series variable speed air handlers as shown in Table 1a. Other brands of air handlers may attain the same ARI ratings providing that the specifications meet or exceed those listed in Table 1a AND Table 1b. An ECM motor and TXV is required. Cap tubes and fixed orifices are not acceptable. PSC fans may be used if matched to Table 1b, but will not meet ARI ratings. If using PSC fan, compressor section must be operated as a single stage unit (i.e. wired for either 1st stage or 2nd stage). Without the ability to vary the airflow, supply air temperatures may not be acceptable if the compressor is allowed to change stages when used with a PSC fan motor.
