Bryant 588A - Manual

DESCRIPTION
All 588A models feature one piece, compact design and are fully
self-contained units that are prewired, prepiped, and pre-
charged for minimum installation expense. Unit is designed for
easy use in either downflow (vertical) or horizontal applications.
STANDARD FEATURES
FACTORY-ASSEMBLED PACKAGE is a compact, fully self-
contained, gas heating/electric cooling unit that is prewired, pre-
piped, and precharged for minimum installation expense.
588A units are lightweight and available in a variety of standard
heating and cooling sizes with voltage options to meet residen-
tial and light commercial requirements. Unit installs easily on a
rooftop or a ground-level pad.
CONVERTIBLE DUCT CONFIGURATION on the 588A is de-
signed for easy use in either downflow or horizontal discharge
applications.
HIGH-EFFICIENCY DESIGN with SEERs (Seasonal Energy Ef-
ficiency Ratios) of 10.0.
DURABLE, DEPENDABLE COMPRESSORS are designed for
high efficiency. Each compressor is hermetically sealed against
contamination to help promote longer life and dependable op-
eration. Each compressor also has vibration isolation to provide
quiet operation. Rotary, reciprocating, or scroll compressors are
used. Compressors have internal high-pressure and overcur-
rent protection.
TOP QUALITY, TOP RELIABILLITY components, designed
and treated for a minimum of 15 years of operation under the
harshest conditions. Every 588A unit is thoroughly run-tested at
the factory in each operating mode, and is evacuated prior to fi-
nal charging.
DIRECT-DRIVE MULTISPEED, PSC (Permanent Split
Capacitor) BLOWER MOTOR is standard on all models.
DIRECT-DRIVE, PSC CONDENSER-FAN MOTOR is designed
to help reduce energy consumption and provide for cooling op-
eration down to 40 F.
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM is designed to provide dependability.
Liquid refrigerant strainer is used to promote clean, unrestricted
operation. Each unit leaves the factory with a full refrigerant
charge. Refrigerant service connections make checking operat-
ing pressures easier.
EVAPORATOR AND CONDENSER COILS are computer-
designed for optimum heat transfer and cooling efficiency. Con-
denser coil is fabricated of copper tube and aluminum fins and
is located inside the unit for protection against damage and for
long life and reliable operation. The condenser coil is internally
mounted and protected by a composite grille.
Copper fin coils for condenser coil are also available by special
order. These coils are recommended in applications where alu-
minum fins are likely to be damaged due to corrosion. Copper
fin coils are ideal for seacoast applications.
DIMPLED HEAT EXCHANGERS optimize heat transfer for im-
proved efficiency. The tubular design permits hot gases to stay
in close contact with the cell walls to maximize heat transfer and
efficiency.
THE INDUCED DRAFT COMBUSTION SYSTEM eliminates
the unsightly appearance of flue stacks, and diminishes the ef-
fects of wind on heating operation. The induced draft also pre-
vents contaminants from entering the supply air if a leak in the
heat exchanger occurs.
MONOPORT INSHOT BURNERS produce precise air-to-gas
mixture, which provides for clean and efficient combustion. The
large monoport on the inshot (or injection type) burners seldom,
if ever, needs cleaning.
INTEGRATED GAS UNIT CONTROLLER (IGC) contains all
the ignition components and is easily accessible for service.
The IGC provides built-in diagnostic capabilities. A light-emitting
diode (LED) simplifies troubleshooting by providing visual fault
notification and system status information. The IGC board pro-
vides exclusive anti-short cycle protection for gas heat opera-
tion. The IGC also contains burner control logic for dependable
heating operation. The 588A units maximize heating efficiency
through the IGC’s control of evaporator fan ON/OFF delays.
The IGC helps make 588A units reliable for many years.
WEATHERIZED CABINETS are constructed of heavy-duty,
phosphated, zinc-coated prepainted steel capable of withstand-
ing 500 hours (Federal Test Method Std. No. 141, Method 6061)
in salt spray. Interior surfaces of the evaporator compartment
are insulated with cleanable foil-faced insulation to help keep
the conditioned air from being affected by the outdoor ambient
temperature and provide improved air quality. Conforms to
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) No. 62. Sloped condensate pan requires
external drain trap.
LOW SOUND RATINGS ensure a quiet indoor and outdoor en-
vironment with sound ratings as low as 7.4 bels.
EASY TO SERVICE CABINETS provide easy accessibility to
serviceable components during maintenance and installation.
Rounded corners are an important safety feature, and a high-
quality finish ensures an attractive appearance.
