The Rheem Prestige Series®High Efficiency RARL- Condensing
Unit was designed with performance in mind. These units offer
comfort, energy conservation and dependability for single, multi­family and light commercial applications.
The Rheem Prestige Series

®

RARL- Condensing Units are the
result of an ongoing development program for improved efficien­cies. With system SEER’s ranging to 17.10, these units continue a
tradition of high efficiency.

■ Reliable Copeland Two-Stage Scroll

™

Compressor for precise

temperature control providing ultimate comfort.

■ Comfort Alert

™

Diagnostics comes installed in each Rheem

Prestige Series model.

■ All controls are accessible by removing one service panel.

Removable top grille provides access to the condenser fan
motor and condenser coil.

■ Attractive, louvered wrap-around jacket protects the coil from

yard hazards and weather extremes. Top grille is steel rein­forced for extra strength. Cabinet is powder painted for all­weather protection.

■ Air is discharged upward away from bushes and shrubs. The

discharge pattern of the top grille provides minimum air restric­tion, resulting in quiet fan operation.

■ Exclusive Combination Grille/Motor Mount secures the motor to

the underside of the discharge grille. The grille protects the motor
windings and bearings from rain and snow.

■ For quiet operation and improved efficiency, the 2, 3, and 4 ton

models feature an 8-pole motor with a 3-blade outdoor fan. The
5 ton model features the GE

®

ECM two-speed motor with a 3-

blade outdoor fan.

■ All models meet or exceed a 1000-hour salt spray test per ASTM

B117 Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray Testing Apparatus.

■ On-demand dehumidification terminal, when matched with a

Prestige Series Air Handler or premium ECM Gas Furnace prod­ucts, adjusts airflow to help control humidity, for unsurpassed
comfort in the cooling mode.

Engineering Features

RARL- Series Condensing Units

1. Copeland Scroll UltraTech™compressor is hermetically sealed

and incorporates internal high temperature motor overload
protection, and durable insulation on the motor windings. It is
externally mounted on rubber grommets to reduce vibration
and noise.

2. Compressors have an internal pressure relief assembly to

protect against excessive pressure differential.

3. All refrigerant connections are on the exterior of the unit,

located close to the ground for neat appearing installations.

4. Cabinet is constructed of powder painted galvanized

steel. The full wrap-around louvered grille protects the coil
from damage.

5. Copper Tube—Aluminum Fin coils are used on all models.

6. The control box is located in the top corner of the cabinet

providing for easy access through a service panel.

7. Service valves are standard on all models.

8. Power and control wiring are kept separate.

9. Every unit is factory charged and tested.

10. Separate compressor compartment for easy service access.

11. Drawn, painted base pan for extra corrosion resistance and

sound reduction.

12. RARL has a 10 year compressor limited warranty and a

liquid line filter drier. The RARL Series also has factory
installed low pressure control, high pressure control, and time
delay control.

13. Hard Start Kits—Standard on all models.

14. Enhanced Compressor sound-wrap is standard.

15. The 2, 3, and 4 ton models feature an 8-pole motor with a

3-blade outdoor fan. The 5 ton model features the GE

®

ECM

two-speed motor with a 3-blade outdoor fan.

16. Control Box Cover.

COPELAND SCROLL ULTRATECH™COMPRESSOR

The Copeland Scroll UltraTech™compressor is the key to efficiency for this Rheem model. It’s the latest in
high-efficiency compressor technology. The advanced scroll compressor offers low noise and vibration
characteristics and features tolerance to liquid refrigerant and system contamination. The Copeland Scroll
UltraTech

™

also has low start torque, eliminating start problems in the field. And its unique design enables

the RARL- condensing unit to perform efficiently, quietly and reliably.

All controls and compressor are accessible

for servicing by removal of the service panel.

Drawn Painted Base Pan.

■

In operation, Comfort Alert Diagnostics monitors vital data from the Copeland
Scroll UltraTech

™

compressor and thermostat, quickly pinpointing the root
cause(s) of any cooling system malfunction—including common electrical
problems, compressor defects and broad system faults.

Low Ambient Control—Cycles outdoor fan to maintain adequate condensing pressures assuring liquid refrigerant flow to the coil.

Allows indoor cooling with outdoor temperatures down to 0°F [–17.8°C]. (Model No. RXAD-A07). It is recommended that this control be
installed in units to be operated at outdoor ambient temperatures under 70°F [21°C].

Compressor Crankcase Heater (Model No. 44-17402-44CCH) Add to minimize refrigeration migration and to help eliminate any
startup noise or bearing “wash out”.

NOTES:

1. Example 1: A 2-ton condensing unit with a total line length of 75 feet with a vertical separa-

tion of 15 feet requires a liquid line size of 3/8".

2. This chart may also be used to size horizontal runs. Example 2: A 3-ton condensing unit may

have a total horizontal run of 100 feet if using a 3/8" liquid line.

3. If vertical separation exceeds this chart, use the extended line lengths chart.

4. Always use the smallest liquid line possible to minimize system charge.

IMPORTANT: Line sizing by this chart requires a supplemental refrigerant charge. Refer to

charging chart on unit for proper charging with extended line sets.
NOTES:

1. Example 1: A 2-ton condensing unit with a total line length of 75 feet with a vertical separa-

tion of 15 feet requires a minimum liquid line size of 5/16".

2. This chart may also be used to size horizontal runs. Example 2: A 3-ton condensing unit

may have a total horizontal run of 100 feet if using a 5/16" liquid line.

3. The vertical separation indicated on this chart CANNOT be exceeded.

4. Always use the smallest liquid line possible to minimize system charge.
