Product Overview

OVERVIEW

ACIQ is the smart solution to adaptive heating and cooling in almost any space and climate -all at an affordable cost. With the ACIQ-18Z-HH-M3C, you can have up to 3 air handlers run off a single condenser, saving space outside and keeping you perfectly comfortable in your home.

QUICK FACTS

  • 18,000 BTU, 25 SEER multi zone heat pump condenser
  • Designed to function with up to 3 attached air handlers
  • Efficient cooling from -22°F to 122°F outdoor temperatures
  • Efficient heating from -22°F to 75°F outdoor temperatures
  • Integrated Extreme Heat technology with base pan heater
  • Gold Fin full-protection coating on condenser coil
  • Quiet operation at even the highest workloads

18,000 BTU, 20 SEER

The 18,000 BTU, ACIQ-18Z-HH-M3C is designed to easily support up to 3 air handlers at up to 1.25 times the condenser BTU rating, or 22,500 BTU across all air handlers. This adaptive, inverter condenser is constantly self-adjusting to provide the precise amount of heating or cooling needed to maintain your desired temperature in each room or zone. You can set different temperatures room by room, even turn off heating and cooling in unused areas. This, combined with a high efficiency rating of 25 SEER, means you are buying a system designed to intelligently save you money both up front and over the lifetime of the unit.

Although the condenser is pre-charged, please note that this model of equipment does not have quick connect line set connectors and is not a self-install unit. You will need a professional to add more refrigerant and vacuum the lines as needed. Installation materials such as line sets, control wire, drain hose, whip and disconnect are not included, but are available at additional cost in the Accessories section to the right of this text. For all multi zone ACIQ condensers, a minimum of two air handlers is needed for the unit to function.


Extreme Heat Base Pan Heater Technology

Each ACiQ condenser has integrated Extreme Heat technology to maximize heat performance in extreme cold weather. Extended heat pump performance (HyperHeat) harnesses the power of inverter condenser with outdoor temp sensing, variable refrigerant flow and variable condenser fan speed to maximize heat extraction all the way down to -22°F. Plus, every Extreme Heat ACiQ condenser includes a base pan heater to keep ice from collecting on the condenser coil during heat pump operation.

Installation and Maintenance

ACiQ multi zone condensers are pre-charged with R410-A refrigerant for 25' per air handler connection. In many cases, no additional refrigerant is needed. All units are run-tested at the factory for years of trouble-free performance. Troubleshooting is easy thanks to unit's self diagnosing control board with alerts that are sent to each connected air handler.

ACIQ Installation and Maintenance

Self Cleaning Condenser

ACiQ condensers stay clean and efficient with self-cleaning technology built right in. At the end of each cycle, the fan reverses direction and blows air out the back of the unit — helping remove leaves, dirt, and debris before buildup can begin.
