Lennox Industries Debuts Several Innovative Products
DALLAS, TX — July 15, 2004 — Several new commercial heating and cooling products from Lennox Industries Inc. have been designed to help businesses reduce costs while improving the comfort level of customers and employees. Innovative new designs available in 2004 include packaged rooftop units, air conditioners, heat pumps and commercial control systems.
The new S-Class™ 40-ton packaged rooftop units by Lennox are the most efficient1 in the industry and are an excellent choice for improving comfort and indoor air quality while achieving a low lifecycle cost. Integral energy recovery wheels allow higher levels of outdoor air ventilation without increasing energy usage or requiring a larger unit.
The 40-ton units also feature the patented Humiditrol® dehumidification system, which improves indoor environmental quality to help make occupants more comfortable and productive. High efficiencies, optional money-saving components and the ability to efficiently stage unit capacity and vary airflow also help reduce operating cost and energy usage.
Quiet supply fans, factory-installed variable frequency drives and greater installation flexibility, thanks to one of the lowest unit heights in the industry, are other advances; an Integrated Modular Control unit improves control and simplifies troubleshooting. Hinged access panels, large walk-in compartments and horizontal or vertical airflow configurations simplify installation and maintenance.
T-Class™ 7- to 12-ton packaged rooftop units provide high-quality performance and rugged durability. Superior components and stringent design requirements provide excellent performance for creating a comfortable indoor environment, while extensive testing and long-lasting warranties ensure these units will operate for years to come.
New S-Class™ 3- to 5-ton air conditioners and heat pumps by Lennox are the most energy efficient commercial split systems3 and offer excellent temperature and humidity control. The innovative design features a two-step scroll compressor that keeps operating expenses low, temperatures constant and humidity levels at a minimum.
The Integrated Modular Controller version M1-7 unit controller, standard on L Series® and S-Class™ rooftop units from Lennox, offers sophisticated control for excellent unit performance and increased installation and maintenance efficiency. A control board with four heating and four cooling capabilities uses data from sensors to continually monitor and adjust more than 200 rooftop unit functions. As a result, unit performance and money-saving efficiency increase by matching the building's needs with the unit's operation. With more than 90 diagnostic codes, an easy-to-read display and a simple-to-use start-up program, troubleshooting and installation are quick and efficient. Technicians can even read refrigerant pressures at the unit or remotely without the use of gauges. The Integrated Modular Control is part of the L Connection™ Network, Lennox' line of advanced commercial controls systems.
