GE 2800 manual Introduction

Introduction

This manual is designed to provide product, performance and application information to our customers and their architects and engineers for use in selection and design of a zonal comfort control system utilizing GE Zoneline® Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTAC) and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps (PTHP). GE Zoneline PTACs and PTHPs are self-contained units designed for through-the-wall installations in hotels, motels, apartments, hospitals, nursing homes, add-on rooms and many other installations.

Zonelines provide individual room or zone control in both cooling and heating operation. There is a model for practically every application, ranging in cooling capacity from 7,100 to 14,700 BTUH and heating capacity from 6,400 to 13,400 BTUH in heat pump operation. See pages 33 and 55 for resistance heaters available.

Zoneline offers a two-tier lineup: the Deluxe Line and the Premium Line. The Deluxe Line consists of the 2800 Series with electric resistance heat, the 2800 Series Dry Air 25 Models with enhanced dehumidification for hot and humid climates and the 3800 Series heat pump. The 3800 Series heat pump features reverse cycle defrost and simultaneous supplemental resistance heat, when needed, to maintain room comfort. The Premium Line features the 5800 Series heat pump with reverse cycle defrost and supplemental resistance heat, when needed, to maintain room comfort, plus tactile touch controls with digital display and standard corrosion protection.

—Replacement units fit existing 42"-wide by 16"-high wall cases

•Quiet Operation

—Indoor double cut-off scroll: two fan motor 2800 and 3800 Series units

—Indoor cross-flow blower: 2 fan motor 5800 Series units

•Energy-Saving Operation

—Units in unoccupied areas may be turned off

—Designed for efficient cooling operation — EERs from 10.0 to 13.0

—Efficient heat pump units — COPs from 3.2 to 3.6

—Extended heat pump operation without sacrificing room comfort

•Ease of Maintenance

—Permanently lubricated fan motors —Upfront lift-out interchangeable filters

—Air Discharge area is easily accessed for cleaning

—Slide-out chassis for easy access for cleaning or if service is required

•Reverse Cycle Heat Pump Operation

Both the 3800 and the 5800 Series heat pumps utilize the unique GE PTAC heat pump operation to ensure a comfortable room. The logic used by the units is the same logic used by central system heat pumps to provide greater savings.
