Rudd RAPL-036JAZ Installation Manual
The Rheem Classic®Series High Efficiency RAPL- Condensing Units were designed with performance in mind.
These units offer comfort, energy conservation and
dependability for single, multi-family and light commercial
applications.
These units also contain the most advanced alternate
refrigerant which contains no chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs),
or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), or other compounds that may leak from air-conditioning systems and
potentially harm the protective ozone layer of the Earth’s
atmosphere.
The Rheem Classic
®
Series RAPL- Condensing Units are
the result of an ongoing development program for improved
efficiencies. These units are flexible enough to achieve up
to 16.00 SEER in specific match-ups, continuing a tradition
of high efficiency.
■ 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 all-weather protection.
■ Air is discharged upward away from bushes and shrubs.
The discharge pattern of the top grille provides minimum
air restriction.
■ 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.
■ All controls are accessible by removing one service
panel. Removable top grille provides access to the condenser fan motor and condenser coil.
■ Single speed 8-pole fan motor designed for low speed,
quiet, energy-saving operation.
■ All models meet or exceed a 1000-hour salt spray test
per ASTM B117 Standard Practice for Operating Salt
Spray Testing Apparatus.

Engineering Features
RAPL- Series Condensing Units
1. This unit contains a special scroll compressor that is
designed specifically to operate with R-410A refrigerants
and polyolester (POE) oils. The 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 wraparound 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. Automatic reset high and low pressure controls are standard
on all models.
13. A liquid line filter drier is standard on all models (shipped –
not installed).
All controls and compressor are accessible
for servicing by removal of the service panel.
Drawn Painted Base Pan.

Field Installed Accessories
■
Compressor Time Delay Control—Compressor will
remain off for five minutes after power or thermostat
interruption, allowing system pressures to equalize.
(Model No. RXMD-B01)
■
Thermostats—
SCROLL®COMPRESSOR
The scroll 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 scroll compressor also has low start
torque, reducing start problems in the field. And its unique design
enables the RAPL- condensing units to perform efficiently, quietly
and dependably. RAPL- JAZ has a 10-year compressor warranty.
■
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]. It is recommended that this
control be installed in units to be operated at outdoor ambient temperatures under 65°F (18°C). (Model No. RXAD-A08)
■
Hard Start Components—(Available through PROSTOCK®)
■
Compressor Crankcase Heater (CCH)—While scroll compressors usually do not require crankcase heaters, there
are instances when a heater should be added. Refrigerant
migration during the off cycle can result in a noisy start up.
Add a crankcase heater to minimize refrigeration migration,
and to help eliminate any start up noise or bearing “wash
out”. (Available through PROSTOCK
