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 ser vice ability that goes into each unit. Outwardly, the large Rheem
Commercial 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 () (optional) 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-perime ter 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. Furthermore, the drain pan slides out for easy cleaning. 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, AHRI 340-370 and other Rheem-required reliability tests.
Rheem adheres to stringent IS0 9002 quality procedures, and
each unit bears the U.L. and AHRI 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 dis plays the “Made in the USA” designation.
Access is granted with 1/4 turn fasteners and hinged access
panels. 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
hinged-access panel. 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.

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 color-coded to match the wiring
diagram. The integrated furnace control, used to control furnace operation,
incorporates a flashing LED trouble shooting 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 low-voltage 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 fieldinstalled 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. Brass caps on
the shraeder fitting assure that the gauge parts are leak proof.
The blower compartment is to the right of the gauge ports and
can be accessed by 1/4 turn fastener. 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 blowerpulley 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 in excess of 610 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 evapora tor 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 TXV metering device assures
even distribution of refrigerant throughout the evaporator. (Note:
the single stage 6 utilizes orifices).
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
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. (073 single stage)
Each unit comes standard with filter dryer. 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 optional* 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 wire
harness to the economizer
also has accommodations
for a smoke detector.
The Rheem roofcurb
() is made for
toolless assembly at
the jobsite by engaging a pin into the
hinged corners of adjacent
curb sides, which makes the assembly process quick and easy.

Selection Procedure
RKNL-B Series
10
To select an RKNL-B 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:
Voltage —208/230V — 3 Phase — 60 Hz
Total Cooling Capacity —106,000 BTUH [31.0 kW]
Sensible Cooling Capacity —082,000 BTUH [24.0 kW]
Heating Capacity —150,000 BTUH [43.9 kW]
*Condenser Entering Air —95°F [35.0 °C] DB
*Evaporator Mixed Air Entering —65°F [18.3 °C] WB
78°F [25.6 °C] DB
*Indoor Air Flow (vertical) —3600 CFM [1699 L/s]
*External Static Pressure —0.40 in. WG [.10 kPa]
2. SELECT UNIT TO MEET COOLING REQUIREMENTS.
Since total cooling is within the range of a nominal 10 ton
[35.1 kW] unit, enter cooling performance table at 95°F
[35.0 °C] DB condenser inlet air. Interpolate between 63°F
[17.2 °C] WB and 67°F [19.4 °C] WB to determine total and
sensi ble capacity and power input for 65°F [18.3 °C] WB
evaporator inlet air at 3750 CFM [1770 L/s] indoor air flow
(table basis):
Total Cooling Capacity = 118,900 BTUH [34.82 kW]
Sensible Cooling Capacity = 99,950 BTUH [29.27 kW]
Power Input (Compressor and Cond. Fans) = 8,950 watts
Use formula in note to determine sensible capacity at 78°F
[25.6 °C] DB evaporator entering air:
99,950 + (1.10 x 3,600 x (1 - 0.03) x (78 - 80))
Sensible Cooling Capacity = 92,268 BTUH [27.02 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 = 118,900 x 0.98 = 116,522 BTUH [34.12 kW]
Sensible Capacity = 92,268 x 0.95 = 87,655 BTUH [25.67 kW]
Power Input = 8,950 x 0.99 = 8,861 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 0.40 in.
WG [.10 kPa] includes the system duct and grilles. Add from
the table ‘Component Air Resistance’, 0.076 in. WG [.02 kPa]
for wet coil, 0 in. WG [.00 kPa] for downflow air flow, for a
total selection static pressure of 0.476 (0.5) in. WG [.12 kPa],
and determine:
5. CALCULATE INDOOR BLOWER BTUH HEAT EFFECT
FROM MOTOR WATTS, STEP 4.
1,576 x 3.412 = 5,377 BTUH [1.57 kW]
6. CALCULATE NET COOLING CAPACITIES, EQUAL TO
GROSS CAPACITY, STEP 3, MINUS INDOOR BLOWER
MOTOR HEAT.
Net Total Capacity = 116,522-5,377 =
111,145 BTUH [32.54 kW]
Net Sensible Capacity = 87,655 - 5,377 =
82,278 BTUH [24.09 kW]
7. CALCULATE UNIT INPUT AND JOB EER.
Total Power Input = 8,861 (step 3) + 1,576
(step 4) = 10,437 Watts
EER =
Net Total BTUH [kW] (step 6) =111,145
= 10.65
Power Input, Watts (above)10,437
8. SELECT UNIT HEATING CAPACITY.
From Physical Data Table read that gas heating output (input
rating x efficiency) is:
Heating Capacity = 182,250 BTUH [53.4 kW]
9. CHOOSE MODEL RKNL-B120CL22E
*NOTE: These operating conditions are typical of a commercial
application 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.
