Table 1b: GeoMax 2 (HTS) Air Handler Characteristics for Brands other than Above Models

	Model*	Nominal	Evaporator	CFM	Capacity
		Tons*	Temp (ºF)		(MBtuh)**
024	- Part Load	1.5	50	530	19.2 - 22.4
024	- Full Load	2.0	52	880	24.2 - 28.2
036	- Part Load	2.5	51	700	25.2 - 29.2
036	- Full Load	3.0	50	1200	34.5 - 40.1
048	- Part Load	3.5	47	1000	34.3 - 39.9
048	- Full Load	4.0	48	1650	46.3 - 53.8
060	- Full Load	5.0	48	1850	54.5 - 63.3

*Nominal tons are at ARI/ISO 13256-1 GLHP conditions. Two-stage units may be operated in single-stage mode if desired, where smaller capacity is required. For example, a model 026 may be used as a 1-1/2 ton unit if “locked” into 1st stage operation only. If PSC fan is used, unit must be “locked” into either 1st or 2nd stage. An ECM fan is required for two-stage operation and for ARI ratings. Size air handler for “Full Load” if operating in two-stage mode.

**When selecting an air handler based upon the above conditions, choose entering WB temperature of 67ºF. Use evaporator temperature, CFM and capacity requirements as listed above. The air handler capacity must be at least at the minimum capacity shown in the table in order for the ARI rating condition to be valid. See Figure 1 for an example selection.

Indoor Coil Selection - For HSS R-22 Units

Geothermal split system heat pumps with R-22 refrigerant are rated in the ARI directory with a “generic” indoor coil match and PSC fan. Selection of air handlers that attain the published ARI ratings must meet or exceed the specifications listed in Table

2.A TXV is required. Cap tubes and fixed orifices are not acceptable.
