Bryant’s Quantum Plus 552A with Puron® refrigerant provides features which cannot be matched by any other family of equip- ment. The 552A is a Quantum Plus air conditioning system uti- lizing Bryant’s unique Puron refrigerant. The environmentally sound refrigerant allows you to make a responsible decision in the protection of the earth’s ozone layer. Bryant’s Quantum Plus systems meet the Energy Star® guidelines for energy efficiency.
FEATURES
Puron® Environmentally Sound Refrigerant—Is Bryant’s unique refrigerant designed to help protect the environment. Puron is an HFC refrigerant which does not contain chlorine that can harm the ozone layer. The most important advantage of Puron refrigerant is that it has not been banned in future air con- ditioning systems as the traditional refrigerant R-22 has been. Puron refrigerant is in service in thousands of systems proving highly reliable, environmentally sound performance.
Heavy Duty Inlet Grille—The DuraGuard™ coil protector, made of a coated steel wire grid with vertical 3/8 in. spacing, is designed to help protect the coil from inclement weather, van- dalism, and incidental damage. It provides protection while not restricting airflow and maintaining ease of coil inspection and cleaning.
High Efficiency Performance—Is delivered through a combina- tion of features including Bryant’s Puron refrigerant, unique scroll compressor, and advanced heat transfer surfaces. Efficiency rat- ings are 12 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) with enhanced ratings of up to 14 SEER. Sophisticated heat transfer surfaces utilized in Bryant’s 552A design allow heat to easily be transferred to the outdoor air and require less energy. The unique scroll compressor found in the 552A design performs quietly and adds to the overall efficiency of the system. For improved service- ability, all models are equipped with a compressor terminal plug. Finally, Bryant’s unique Puron refrigerant operates more effi- ciently than ordinary R-22 refrigerant found in other systems. The efficiency levels provided by the 552A provide end users with lower costs of operation than traditional air conditioning systems.
Assured Future Service—By utilizing the environmentally sound refrigerant, Puron, 552A models will remain serviceable well into the future. The Clean Air Act of 1990 has placed a cap
on production of most other refrigerants which has scheduled reductions beginning in 2004. The resulting cap in production ultimately results in a complete ban on many other refrigerants in new equipment by the year 2010. These changes, required by federal law, mean the supply of other refrigerants may be limited in the near future making Puron the correct choice when consid- ering long term serviceability.
Highly Reliable Performance—Is delivered through the supe- rior design of the system and componentry. The reliability of the existing Quantum Plus models has been proven to provide the lowest incidence of warranty service of any product in the Bryant family in the past few years of service. Long term reli- ability is assured through the use of both high and low pres- sure switches which will not allow the system to operate in the event of a significant change in operating pressure. In doing this, the system is protected from damage if an unusual condi- tion arises. Finally, Bryant includes a special liquid line filter drier designed to trap moisture and contaminants which could otherwise shorten the life of the system.
Bryant’s AeroQuiet System—Extremely low operating sound is the result of special attention to the air moving through the outdoor unit, and a specially designed sound enclosure surrounding the compressor to eliminate sound transmission to the rest of the sys- tems.
Application Versatility—Bryant’s systems utilizing Puron refrigerant have the same application guidelines as other sys- tems. Applications which include long line sets (50 to 175 ft) or applications which require the system to operate at low outdoor temperatures (below 55°F) are approved under Bryant’s stan- dard guidelines.
Bryant Coils and Fan Coils to Complete the System—Bryant specially designs both the outdoor product and indoor coil prod- ucts to operate with assured reliability and performance. A wide range of indoor coil options are listed in the ratings section of this publication.
Special Protective Devices—High and low pressure switches and internal protection in the compressor including temperature and current sensing overloads prevent operation under poten- tially damaging circumstances. A special liquid line filter drier designed to trap nearly four times the volume of contaminants of standard driers provides superior protection from moisture trapped in the system.
Electrical Range—208/230v, single phase.
Wide Range of Sizes—Available in seven sizes; 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3, 3-1/2, 4, and 5 tons.
Reliant Cabinet—Galvanized steel is coated with powder paint to provide a superior, long lasting appearance.
Totally Enclosed Fan Motor—Protected from adverse weather conditions.
Unit Design—Enhanced copper and aluminum heat transfer surfaces with vertical air discharge to direct air up and away from the area.
External Service Valves—Both service valves are back seating type valves which are externally located. These unique valves allow service technicians to evacuate or charge the system in less time than standard service valves.
Easy Serviceability—One access panel provides access to electrical controls and compressor. Removal of wire dome gives access to fan motor and removal of the top gives access to the coil.
Agency Approvals—552A models are listed with UL (U.S. and Canada), ARI, and CEC. Special endorsements have also been awarded these products by Energy Star® which recognizes energy efficient products.
Limited Warranty—A standard five year warranty on parts with a 10 year warranty on the compressor. Optional warranties are available through your Bryant distributor.
