Deluxe models
Special corrosion-protected units
To help extend the life of the Zoneline unit in seacoast areas, some
Deluxe Zoneline units may be ordered with a special corrosion
protection treatment on outdoor components and use stainless
steel hardware. Zoneline units with optional corrosion protection
have a ‘C’ in the 10th character of the model number.
Internal condensate removal
Available on the 3900 and 5800 heat pumps, this feature drips the
heat pump condensate over the warm indoor coil to help dissipate
water from heat pump operation and associated defrost cycles. The
installation of an internal or external drain system is recommended if
no dripping of condensate to the outdoors is desired. ICR must not be
installed in seacoast or corrosive applications.
The Dry Air 25
The Dry Air 25 features innovative technology from Heat Pipe
Technology, Inc., an addition which enables this unit to remove 25%
more moisture from the air than standard GE Zoneline
®
models. The
Dry Air 25 system, Heat Pipe, is a hermetically sealed heat transfer
surface that is saddlebagged around the indoor coil (evaporator) of
the Zoneline. This coil arrangement will transfer heat from one coil to
another without power consumption. This assembly uses R-22 as the
refrigerant and is isolated from the regular Zoneline refrigerant circuit.
As warm humid air is pulled through the pre-cool section of the Heat
Pipe, the heat removed from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant,
causing the refrigerant to boil. As the pre-cooled air passes through
the Zoneline evaporator, the air is further cooled (colder than it would
be normally), removing 25% more moisture from the air than standard
GE packaged terminal air conditioners.
As the cold air passes through the reheat section of the Heat Pipe, the
refrigerant condenses and the liquid flows back to the pre-cool section
to be reheated again. The air discharged into the room by this process
is much drier, creating a more comfortable room condition.
Electronic
temperature limiting
Preset cooling and heating
limits with 7 independent
cooling and 7 heating
limits—saves energy by
preventing over-cooling
or over-heating of rooms.
“Smartfan”
fan cycle selection
Select fan cycle or fan
continuous independently
for heating and cooling.
Solid-state
thermostat control
Provides better room
temperature control
vs. electromechanical
temperature control
device.
Freeze Sentinel
Provides automatic
protection against
freezing by switching
the unit to heat should
the temperature of an
unoccupied room drop
to 41°F.
Heat Sentinel
Provides automatic
protection against
overheating by switching
on the unit to cool should
the temperature of
an unoccupied room
reach 85°F.
Auto frost control
A special sensor monitors
the roomside coil to
prevent efficiency-robbing
accumulation of frost
during cooling operation.
GE Dry Air 25
(not shown)
Innovative technology from
Heat Pipe Technology, Inc
enables the DryAir 25 to
remove 25% more moisture
from the air than standard
GE packaged terminal air
conditioners.
Universal power cord
Flexibility of heat
applications. All
Zonelines contain a
bank of 3 heaters.
2900 series and Dry Air 25 series – heat/cool units
3900 series – heat pump unit
Highly featured microcomputer controls
Central desk control
compatible
Ability to turn the unit
“on” or "off" from a
remote location.
Two fan motors
(not visible)
Separate motors for
indoor and outdoor fans
to assure quiet operation.
Reversible louver
(not shown)
May be reversed to
provide an air discharge
angle of 40 or 50 degrees
off vertical with the simple
removal of six screws.
3-Position vent control
(not shown)
Opens vent. Provides up
to 75 cfm of outdoor air.
The closed position saves
energy by recirculating
conditioned room air.
Reverse cycle defrost
(not shown)
Solid-state sensor
monitors frost build-up
on outdoor coil. When
frost is detected, the
refrigerant flow is reversed
to melt frost build-up.
When completed, the
refrigerant is reversed to
the normal energy-saving
heat pump operation for
additional heat pump
operating hours.
Easy-access filter
(not shown)
Two upfront interchangeable
filters are part of roomside
cabinet for easy access
and maintenance.
Remote control
compatible
Ability to be controlled
by a wall-mounted
thermostat with high
or low fan speed.
Rotary compressor
Fewer moving parts
than reciprocating models
for quiet, reliable operation
and longer life.
Touch pad controls
With electronic control
temperature display. Gives
the user finer control over
the temperature.
