2.01EQUIPMENT (STANDARD)

A.General:

Factory assembled, single-piece heat pump unit. Con- tained within the unit enclosure shall be all factory wiring, piping, controls, refrigerant charge (R-22), and special features required prior to field start-up.

B.Unit Cabinet:

1.Unit cabinet shall be constructed of galvanized steel, and shall be bonderized and coated with a pre- painted baked enamel finish on all externally exposed surfaces.

2.Indoor fan compartment interior cabinet surfaces

shall be insulated with a minimum 1/2-in. thick, 1 lb. density, flexible fiberglass insulation, neoprene coated on the air side. Aluminum foil-faced fiberglass insulation shall be used in the gas heat compartment.

3.Cabinet panels shall be easily removable for servicing.

4.Holes shall be provided in the base rails for rigging shackles to facilitate maneuvering and overhead rigging.

5.Unit shall have a factory-installed, sloped conden- sate drain pan made of a non-corrosive material, pro- viding a minimum 3/4-in.-14 NPT. connection with both vertical and horizontal drains, and shall comply with ASHRAE Standard 62.

6.Unit shall have a factory-installed filter access panel to provide filter access with tool-less removal.

7.Unit shall have standard thru-the-bottom power con- nection capability (accessory kit is required).

C.Fans:

1.Indoor Fan:

a.Fan shall be direct or belt driven as shown on the equipment drawings. Belt drive shall include an adjustable-pitch motor pulley.

b.Fan wheel shall be double-inlet type with forward- curved blades.

c.Bearings shall be sealed, permanently lubricated ball-bearing type for longer life and lower maintenance.

2.Indoor fan shall be made from steel with a corrosion- resistant finish and shall be dynamically balanced.

3.Outdoor fan shall be of the direct-driven (with totally enclosed motors) propeller type and shall discharge air vertically.

4.Outdoor fan shall have aluminum blades riveted to corrosion-resistant steel spiders and shall be dynam- ically balanced.

D.Compressor(s):

1.Fully hermetic type, internally protected, scroll or reciprocating type.

2.Factory mounted on rubber grommets and internally spring mounted for vibration isolation.

Bryant 542J manual Guide Specifications 548F and 549B036-120 Units, Part 1 General, Part 2 Products

549B, 548F, 542J specifications

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.
