General Information
Operating Environment
The T-Series Climate Changer air handler is a central station outdoor air handler. When
considering the placement of the T-Series air handler, it is important to consider the
operating environment. The acceptable ambient temperature range for unit operation is
-40ºF to 140ºF (-40ºC to 60ºC).
For heating applications, a special motor may be required to withstand the higher
temperatures. Motors with Class B insulation are acceptable for ambient temperatures
up to 104º F, while motors with Class F insulation can withstand ambient temperatures
to +140º F (60º C).
Note: Units with UL approval have a maximum ambient temperature requirement of
104ºF. The customer should provide adequate freeze protection for the coils. See
“Coil Winterization,” on page 94
for more information.
