Since total cooling is within the range of 4 ton [14.07 kW] unit and
requires 12 SEER efficiency level, enter cooling performance from the
RKKA-A048 at 95°F [35°C] outdoor temperature, 63°F [17°C] wb
entering indoor air, and 1600 CFM [755 L/s]:
Total capacity ....................................46,600 BTUH [13.66 kW]
Power input ........................................4.2 kW
And also, at 76°F [24°C] db indoor entering air, and using the formula
at the bottom of the table:
In the general data tables, note that the heating capacity of the 4 ton
[14.07 kW] model with the 135,000 input heater can deliver 106,500
BTUH [31.21 kW], which is suitable for this application.
4. Determine blower speed and power to meet the system
requirements.
At the given external static pressure of 1.1 in wg, the belt model must
be selected. Enter the belt drive blower performance data at 1600
CFM [755 L/s] and 1.1 in wg ESP:
RPM ........1195
Watts........755
Drive ........M
5. Calculate indoor blower BTUH heat effect.
BTUH = Watts x 3.413 = 2577
6. Calculate net cooling capacities.
Net total cooling = 46,600 – 2577 = 44,023 BTUH [12.90 kW]
Net sensible cooling = 36,646 – 2577 = 34,069 BTUH [9.98 kW]

UNITFEATURES&BENEFITS—RKKB/RKMB/RKNB-SERIES
Rheem Package equipment is designed from the ground up with
the latest features and benefits required to compete in today’s
market. The clean design stands alone in the industry and is a
testament to the quality, reliability, ease of installation and serviceability that goes into each unit. Outwardly, the large Rheem
“B-series” label ( ) identifies the brand to the customer.
The sheet-metal cabinet ( ) uses nothing less than 18-gauge
material for structural components with an underlying coat of
G90. To ensure the leak-proof integrity of these units, the design
utilizes a one-piece top with a 1/8" drip lip ( ), gasket-protected
panels and screws. The Rheem hail guard ( ) is its trademark,
and sets the standard for coil protection in the industry. Every
Rheem package unit uses the toughest finish in the industry,
using electro deposition baked-on enamel tested to withstand a
rigorous 1000-hour salt spray test, per ASTM B117.
Anything built to last must start with the right foundation. In this
case, the foundation is 14-gauge, commercial-grade, full-perimeter base rails ( ), which integrate fork slots and rigging holes to
save set-up time on the job site. The base pan is stamped, which
forms a 1-1/8" flange around the supply and return opening and
has eliminated the worry of water entering the conditioned space
( ). The drainpan ( ) is made of material that resists the
growth of harmful bacteria and is sloped for the latest IAQ benefits. The insulation has been placed on the underside of the
basepan, removing areas that would allow for potential moisture
accumulation, which can facilitate growth of harmful bacteria. All
insulation is secured with both adhesive and mechanical fasteners, and all edges are hidden.
During development, each unit was tested to U.L. 1995, ANSI
21.47, ARI 340-370 and other Rheem-required reliability tests.
Rheem adheres to stringent IS0 9002 quality procedures, and
each unit bears the U.L. and ARI certification labels located on
the unit nameplate ( ). Contractors can rest assured that when
a Rheem package unit arrives at the job, it is ready to go with a
factory charge and quality checks. Each unit also proudly displays the “Made in the USA” designation.
Access to all major compartments is from the front of the unit,
including the filter and electrical compartment, blower compartment, furnace section, and outdoor section. Each panel is permanently embossed with the compartment name (control/filter
access, blower access and furnace access).
Electrical and filter compartment access is through a large, toolless, hinged-access panel. On the outside of the panel is the unit
nameplate, which contains the model and serial number, electrical data and other important unit information.
The unit charging chart is located on the inside of the electrical
and filter compartment door. Electrical wiring diagrams are found
on the control box cover,
which allows contractors
to move them to more
readable locations. To
the right of the control
box the model and serial
number can be found.
Having this information
on the inside will assure
model identification for
the life of the product.
The production line quality test assurance label is
also placed in this location ( ). The two-inch
throwaway filters ( ) are
easily removed on a
tracked system for easy
replacement.

UNITFEATURES&BENEFITS—RKKB/RKMB/RKNB-SERIES
Inside the control box ( ), each electrical component is clearly identified with
a label that matches the component to
the wire diagram for ease of trouble
shooting. All wiring is numbered on
each end of the termination and colorcoded to match the wiring diagram. The
integrated furnace control, used to control furnace operation, incorporates a
flashing LED troubleshooting device.
Flash codes are clearly outlined on the
unit wiring diagram. The control transformer has a low voltage circuit breaker
that trips if a low voltage electrical short
occurs. There is a blower contactor
and compressor contactor for each
compressor.
For added convenience in the field, a
factory-installed convenience outlet and
disconnect ( ) are available. Low and
High voltage can enter either from the
side or through the base. Low-voltage
connections are made through the lowvoltage terminal strip. For ease of
access, the U.L.-required low voltage
barrier can be temporarily removed for
low-voltage termination and then reinstalled. The high-voltage connection is
terminated at the number 1 compressor
contactor. The suggested mounting for
the field-installed disconnect is on the
exterior side of the electrical control box.
To the right of the electrical and filter
compartment are the externally
mounted gauge ports, which are permanently identified by embossed wording
that clearly identifies the compressor
circuit, high pressure connection and
low pressure connection ( ). With the
gauge ports mounted externally, an
accurate diagnostic of system operation can be performed
quickly and easily.
The blower compartment is to the right of the gauge ports and
can be accessed by removing 5/16" washer-head screws. This
panel is not hinged to assure a water-tight fit with the unit. To
allow easy maintenance of the blower assembly, the entire
assembly easily slides out by removing two 3/8" screws from the
blower retention bracket. The adjustable motor pulley ( ) can
easily be adjusted by loosening the bolts on either side of the
motor mount. Removing the bolts allows for easy removal of the
blower pulley by pushing the blower assembly up to loosen the
belt. Once the belt is removed, the motor sheave can be adjusted
to the desired number of turns, ranging from 0 to 6 turns open.
Where the demands for the job require high static, Rheem has
high-static drives available that deliver nominal airflow up to 2" of
static. By referring to the airflow performance tables listed in the
installation instructions, proper static pressure and CFM requirements can be dialed in. The scroll housing ( ) and blower scroll
provide quiet and
efficient airflow.
The blower
sheave is secured
by an “H” bushing
which firmly
secures the pulley
to the blower shaft
for years of trouble-free operation.
The “H” bushing
allows for easy
removal of the
blower pulley from
the shaft, as
opposed to the
use of a set screw, which can score the shaft, creating burrs that
make blower-pulley removal difficult.

Also inside the blower compartment is the low-ambient control
(), low-pressure switch (),
high-pressure switch ()
and freeze stat refrigerant safety
device (). The low-ambient
control allows for operation of the
compressor down to 0 degrees
ambient temperature by cycling
the outdoor fans on high pressure.
The high-pressure switch will
shut off the compressors if
pressures exceeds, 450 PSIG
are detected, this may occur if
the outdoor fan motor fails. The
low-pressure switch shuts off
the compressors if low pressure
is detected due to loss of
charge. The freeze stat protects
the compressor if the evaporator coil gets too cold (below
freezing) due to low airflow. Each factory-installed option is
brazed into the appropriate high or low side and wired appropriately. Use of polarized plugs and sharder fittings allow for easy
field installation.
Inside the blower compartment the interlaced evaporator can
also be viewed. The evaporator uses enhanced fin technology for
maximum heat transfer. The cap-tube metering device assures
even distribution of refrigerant throughout the evaporator.
Wiring throughout the unit is neatly bundled and routed. Where
wire harnesses go through the condenser bulkhead or blower
deck, a molded wire harness assembly () provides an air-tight
and water-tight seal, and provides strain relief. Care is also taken
to tuck raw edges of insulation behind sheet metal to improve
indoor air quality.
The furnace compartment contains the latest furnace technology
on the market. The draft inducers () draw the flame from the
Rheem exclusive in-shot burners () into the aluminized tubular
heat exchanger () for clean, efficient gas heat. Stainless steel
heat exchangers can be factory installed for those applications
that have high fresh-air requirements, or applications in corrosive
environments. Each furnace is equipment with a two-stage gas
valve (), which provides two stages of gas heat input. The first
stage operates at 50% of the second stage (full fire). 81% steady
state efficiency is maintained on both first and second stage by
staging the multiple inducers to optimize the combustion airflow
and maintain a near stioceometric burn at each stage.
The direct spark igniter () assures reliable ignition in the most
adverse conditions. This is coupled with remote flame sense ()
to assure that the flame has carried across the entire length of
the burner assembly. Gas supply can be routed from the side or
up through the base.
Each furnace has the following safety devices to assure consistent and reliable operation after ignition:
• Pressures switches () to assure adequate combustion airflow
before ignition.
• Rollout switches () to assure no obstruction or cracks in the
heat exchanger.
• A limit device that protects the furnace from over-temperature
problems.

The compressor
compartment
houses the heartbeat of the unit. The
Copeland-compliant
scroll compressor
() is known for its
long life, and for
reliable, quiet, and
efficient operation.
The suction and
discharge lines are
designed with shock
loops () to
absorb the strain
and stress that the
starting torque,
steady state operation, and shut down
cycle impose on the
refrigerant tubing.
Each compressor
and circuit is independent for built-in
redundancy, and each circuit is clearly marked throughout the
system. Each unit has two stages of efficient cooling operation,
first stage is approximately 50% of second stage.
The condenser fan motor () can easily be accessed and maintained through the blower compartment. The polarized plug connection allows the motor to be changed quickly and eliminates
the need to snake wires through the unit.
The outdoor coil uses the latest enhanced fin design () for the
most effective method of heat transfer. The outdoor coil is protected by louvered panels, which allow unobstructed airflow while
protecting the unit from both Mother Nature and vandalism.
Each unit is designed
for both downflow or
horizontal applications
() for job configuration flexibility. The
return air compartment
can also contain an
economizer (). Two
models exits, one for
downflow applications, and one
for horizontal applications. Each unit is
pre-wired for the economizer to allow quick
plug-in installation. The economizer is also available
as a factory-installed option. Power Exhaust is easily fieldinstalled. The economizer, which provides free cooling when
outdoor conditions are suitable and also provides fresh air to
meet local requirements, comes standard with single enthalpy
controls. The controls can be upgraded to dual enthalpy easily in
the field. The direct drive actuator combined with gear drive
dampers has eliminated the need for linkage adjustment in the
field. The economizer control has a minimum position setpoint,
an outdoor-air setpoint, a mix-air setpoint, and a CO
2
setpoint.
Barometric relief is standard on all economizers. The power
exhaust is housed in the
barometric relief opening
and is easily slipped in with
a plug-in assembly.
The Rheem roofcurb () is
made for toolless
assembly at the
jobsite by sequentially engaging the
corner brackets into
the adjacent curb
sides (), which
makes the assembly
process quick and easy.

SELECTIONPROCEDUREEXAMPLE—RKKB/RKMB/RKNB-SERIES
To select an RKKB- Cooling and Heating unit to meet a job
requirement, follow this procedure, with example, using data supplied in this specification sheet.
1. DETERMINE COOLING AND HEATING REQUIREMENTS
AND SPECIFIC OPERATING CONDITIONS FROM PLANS
AND SPECS.
Example:
Total cooling capacity—106,000 BTUH [31.26 kW]
Sensible cooling capacity—82,000 BTUH [24.03 kW]
Heating capacity—150,000 BTUH [43.96 kW]
*Condenser Entering Air—95°F [35°C] DB
*Evaporator Mixed Air Entering—65°F [18°C] WB;
78°F [26°C] DB
*Indoor Air Flow (vertical)—3600 CFM [1699 L/s]
*External Static Pressure—.40 in. WG
2. SELECT UNIT TO MEET COOLING REQUIREMENTS.
Since total cooling is within the range of a nominal 10 ton
[35.2 kW] unit, enter cooling performance table at 95°F [35°C]
DB condenser inlet air. Interpolate between 63°F [2°C] and
67°F [19°C] to determine total and sensible capacity and
power input for 65°F [18°C] WB evap inlet air at 4000 CFM
[1888 L/s] indoor air flow (table basis):
Total Capacity = 119,500 BTUH [35.02 kW]
Sensible Capacity = 101,200 BTUH [29.66 kW]
Power Input (Compressor and Cond. Fans) = 11,650 watts
Use formula [1.10 x CFM x (1 – DR) x (dbE – 80)] in noteto
determine sensible capacity at 80°F [26.7°C] DB evaporator
entering air:
Sensible Capacity = 94,230 BTUH [27.62 kW]
3. CORRECT CAPACITIES OF STEP 2 FOR
ACTUAL AIR FLOW.
Select factors from airflow correction table at 3600 CFM
[1699 L/s] and apply to data obtained in step 2 to obtain
gross capacity:
Total Capacity, 119,500 x .98 = 117,110 BTUH [34.32 kW]
Sensible Capacity, 94,230 x .95 = 89,519 BTUH [26.24 kW]
Power Input 11,650 x .99 = 11,534 Watts
These are Gross Capacities, not corrected for blower motor
heat or power.
4. DETERMINE BLOWER SPEED AND WATTS TO MEET
SYSTEM DESIGN.
Enter Indoor Blower performance table at 3600 CFM [1699 L/s].
Total ESP (external static pressure) per the spec of .40 in.
includes the system duct and grilles. Add from the table “Component Air Resistance,” .076 for wet coil, .13 for vertical air flow,
for a total selection static pressure of .606 (.6) inches of water,
and determine:
5. CALCULATE INDOOR BLOWER BTUH HEAT EFFECT
FROM MOTOR WATTS, STEP 4.
BTUH = 1,650 x 3.412 = 5,630
6. CALCULATE NET COOLING CAPACITIES, EQUAL TO
GROSS CAPACITY, STEP 3, MINUS INDOOR BLOWER
MOTOR HEAT.
Net Total Capacity = 117,110 – 5,630 =
111,480 BTUH [32.67 kW]
Net Sensible Capacity = 89,519 – 5,630 =
83,889 BTUH [24.59 kW]
7. CALCULATE UNIT INPUT AND JOB EER.
Total Power Input = 11,534 (step 3) + 1,650
(step 4) = 13,184 Watts
EER =
Net Total BTUH [kW] (step 6) =111,480
= 8.46
Power Input, Watts (above)13,184
8. SELECT UNIT HEATING CAPACITY.
From Physical Data Table read that gas heating output (input
rating x efficiency) is:
Heating Capacity = 182,300 BTUH [53.43 kW]
*NOTE: These operating conditions are typical of a commercial applica-
tion in a 95°F/79°F [35°C/26°C] design area with indoor design
of 76°F [24°C] DB and 50% RH and 10% ventilation air, with
the unit roof mounted and centered on the zone it conditions
by ducts.

RKNA-A048 at 95°F [35°C] outdoor temperature, 63°F [17°C] wb
entering indoor air, and 1550 CFM [732 L/s]:
Total capacity ....................................47,300 BTUH [732 kW]
Power input ........................................3.5 kW
And also, at 76°F [24°C] db indoor entering air, and using the formula
at the bottom of the table:
In the general data tables, note that the heating capacity of the 4 ton
[14.07 kW] model with the 135,000 input heater can deliver 106,500
BTUH [31.21 kW], which is suitable for this application.
4. Determine blower speed and power to meet the system
requirements.
