c.E-Coated copper-fin coils shall have a flexible epoxy polymer coating uniformly applied to all coil surface areas without material bridging between fins. Coating process shall ensure complete coil encapsulation. Color shall be high gloss black with gloss — 60 deg of 65 to 90% per ASTM D523-89. Uniform dry film thickness from 0.8 to

1.2mil on all surface areas including fin edges. Superior hardness characteristics of 2H per ASTM D3363-92A and cross-hatch adhesion of 4B-5B per ASTM D3359-93. Impact resistance shall be up to 160 in.-lb (ASTM D2794-93). Humidity and water immersion resistance shall be up to minimum 1000 and 250 hours respectively (ASTM D2247-92 and ASTM D870-92). Corro- sion durability shall be confirmed through testing to be no less than 1000 hours salt spray per ASTM B117-90. Coil construction shall be copper fins mechanically bonded to copper tubes with copper tube sheets. Galvanized steel tube sheets shall not be acceptable. A polymer strip shall pre- vent coil assembly from contacting sheet metal coil pan to maintain coating integrity and minimize corrosion potential between coil and pan.

d.Optional pre-coated aluminum-fin coils shall have a durable epoxy-phenolic coating to provide pro- tection in mildly corrosive coastal environments. Coating shall be applied to the aluminum fin stock prior to the fin stamping process to create an inert barrier between the aluminum fin and copper tube. Epoxy-phenolic barrier shall minimize gal- vanic action between dissimilar metals.

F.Heating Section:

1.May be equipped with field-installed electric resis- tance heater(s) of the characteristics shown in the equipment schedule.

2.Heater elements shall be open wire, adequately sup- ported and insulated with ceramic bushings.

G.Refrigerant Components:

Refrigerant circuit components shall include:

1.Fixed orifice metering system.

2.Refrigerant filter drier.

3.Reversing valve.

4.Service gage connections on suction, discharge, and liquid lines.

H.Filter Section:

1.Standard filter section shall consist of factory- installed, low velocity, throwaway 2-in. thick fiberglass filters of commercially available sizes.

2.Filter face velocity shall not exceed 320 fpm at nomi- nal airflows.

3.Filter section should use only one size filter.

4.Filters shall be accessible through an access panel with “no-tool” removal.

I.Controls and Safeties:

1.Unit Controls:

Unit shall be complete with self-contained low- voltage control circuit protected by a resettable circuit breaker on the 24-v transformer side.

2.Safeties:

a.Unit shall incorporate a solid-state compressor protector which provides anti-cycle reset capabil- ity at the space thermostat, should any of the fol- lowing standard safety devices trip and shut off compressor.

1)Compressor overtemperature, overcurrent.

2)Loss-of-charge/low-pressure switch.

3)Freeze-protection thermostat, evaporator coil.

4)High-pressure switch.

5)Automatic reset motor thermal overload protector.

The lockout protection shall be easily discon- nected at the control board, if necessary.

b.Heating section shall be provided with the follow- ing minimum protections:

1)High-temperature limit switches.

2)Overcurrent protection.

c.Unit shall incorporate an outdoor coil defrost sys- tem to prevent excessive frost accumulation dur- ing heating duty, and shall be controlled as follows:

1)Defrost shall be initiated on the basis of time and coil temperature.

2)A 30/50/90-minute timer shall activate defrost cycle only if the coil temperature is low enough to indicate a heavy frost condition.

3)Defrost cycle shall terminate when defrost thermostats are satisfied and shall have a pos- itive termination time of 10 minutes.

J.Operating Characteristics:

1.Unit shall be capable of starting and running at 125 F ambient outdoor temperature, meeting maximum load criteria of ARI Standard 210/240 or 360 at

+10% voltage.

2.Compressor with standard controls shall be capable of operation down to 40 F (in cooling mode) ambient outdoor temperature.

3.Compressor shall be capable of operation down to –20 F (in heating mode) ambient outdoor temperature.

4.Unit shall be capable of simultaneous heating duty and defrost cycle operation when using accessory electric heaters.

Bryant 542J is a high-efficiency gas furnace that stands out for its reliability and advanced heating technologies. Designed to deliver consistent warmth and comfort in residential settings, it combines innovative engineering with energy-efficient features.

One of the key characteristics of the Bryant 542J is its two-stage heating capability. This means that the furnace can adjust its heat output according to the heating demands of your home. During milder weather, it operates at a lower stage, consuming less energy while still maintaining a comfortable environment. When the temperatures drop, the furnace shifts to its higher capacity, providing the necessary warmth efficiently. This not only enhances comfort but also contributes to lower energy bills.

In addition to its two-stage operation, the Bryant 542J also incorporates a variable-speed blower motor. This technology allows the furnace to adjust the airflow depending on the heating requirements, ensuring an even distribution of warm air throughout the home. The variable-speed blower also operates more quietly than conventional fixed-speed motors, creating a serene indoor environment.

Energy efficiency is a hallmark of the Bryant 542J, boasting an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 96.5%. This impressive rating means that a significant portion of the energy consumed is effectively converted into usable heat, resulting in substantial savings on heating costs over time. Furthermore, the furnace is equipped with a sealed combustion system that draws air from outside the home, minimizing energy waste and improving indoor air quality.

Diagnostic features are another highlight of the Bryant 542J, which come equipped with SmartEvap technology. This allows the unit to self-diagnose potential issues, providing homeowners with peace of mind and simplifying maintenance procedures.

Durability is also a key feature of the Bryant 542J. It is constructed with high-quality materials designed to withstand harsh winter conditions, ensuring a long lifespan and reliable performance. Its compact design also allows for flexible installation, making it suitable for various residential layouts.

In summary, the Bryant 542J is more than just a gas furnace; it is a sophisticated heating solution that combines efficiency, comfort, and reliability. With features such as two-stage heating, a variable-speed blower, high AFUE ratings, and advanced diagnostics, it is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking an efficient and effective heating system.
