Rheem® Launches Innovative Renaissance™ Line for Commercial Use
New Higher Efficiency 3-5 Ton Models with Two Stages of Cooling
Rheem®, a leading global manufacturer of HVACR and water heating products, has significantly expanded its product offerings with the introduction of a higher efficiency extension to its well-received Renaissance™ Line. This new lineup incorporates 3-5 ton packaged rooftop units featuring enhanced cooling capabilities that are purpose-built for commercial heating and cooling applications. Designed with cutting-edge technology, these products offer exceptional energy efficiency and value, aimed at meeting the rigorous performance demands of contemporary businesses.
Cutting-Edge Design Meets Practicality
The Renaissance RACCYC and RGECYC units are expertly engineered for seamless replacements, featuring industry-standard footprints, common piping, and electrical connections. These models emphasize field-convertible airflow and minimized weight, making them remarkably easy to install. Not only does this innovation streamline installation processes, but it also enhances serviceability, resulting in significant time and cost savings when compared to other commercial HVAC brands. In fact, time spent on routine service and preventative maintenance can be reduced by up to 100 minutes.
Innovative Features for Enhanced Efficiency and Comfort
Laura Meyerrose, commercial product manager at Rheem, highlighted the units' efficiency ratings, stating, "With efficiency ratings up to 16.2 SEER2 and 12 EER2, this line extension delivers superior performance, particularly well-suited for diverse commercial settings, including K-12 school buildings." Meyerrose also noted the inclusion of Rheem's PlusOne® HumidiDry® hot gas reheat technology, which helps maintain desired room temperatures while continuing to dehumidify. This technology not only promotes energy savings but also enhances occupant comfort, giving Rheem a competitive edge in the market.
Key Features of the Renaissance Line
The newly launched Renaissance 3-5 ton two-stage models come with several noteworthy features:
- PlusOne HumidiDry: The HumidiDry hot gas reheat incorporates a variable frequency drive (VFD) that operates at lower speeds during first-stage cooling, resulting in energy savings and enhanced comfort.
