GCS16 series units in the 15 and 20 ton (52.8 and 70.3
kW) cooling sizes are packaged combination gas heat/
dx cool units designed for commercial applications. Gas
heat exchanger in 235,000 and 375,000 (68.9 and
109.9 kW) Btuh input sizes. Optional electric heat
sections with inputs of 15 to 75 kW are available in the
CHA16 series units and install inside the cabinet.
GCS/CHA16-180 units utilize reciprocating compres-
sors. Thse compressors are hermeticaly sealed for leak
free opration and long service life. A built in protection
device assures protection from excessive current and
temperatures.
GCS/CHA16-240 units utilize scroll compressors. The
scroll compressor offers high volumetric efficiency and
quiet operation. Continuous flank contact, maintained
by centrifugal force, minimizes gas leakage and maxi-
mizes efficiency. The motor is internally protected from
excessive current and temperature.
GCS/CHA16-180/240 units are designed for horizontal
or down flow discharge application and may be fitted
with RMF16 mounting frame, REMD16 economizer and
RTD11 ceiling diffuser.
GCS/CHA16-180/240 are designed to accept any of
several different thermostat control systems such as the
Honeywell T7300 or Honeywell T8621D with minimum
field wiring. Control options such as economizer and
warm up kit, connect to the unit with jack-plugs. When
plugged in the controls become an integral part of the
unit wiring. Units are also equipped with low voltage pig
tails to facilitate thermostat field wiring.
