3.5 Ton 13.4 SEER2 Goodman Air Conditioner Split System with Modular Blower and TXV kit- Horizontal

OVERVIEW

The Goodman MBVC1600AA-1 is a variable speed modular blower designed for heating in more compact spaces. Designed to work alone as a straight electric furnace or to work with an AC or heat pump system, the MBVC1600AA-1 is an energy efficient choice that is compatible with ComfortNet communicating technology, all providing an enhanced comfort to your home.

QUICK FACTS

• 3.5 to 4 ton modular blower
• Electric heat compatible, available at an additional cost
• Efficient variable speed blower
• Multi-positional (upflow, downflow, or horizontal)

3.5 to 4 Tons

The Goodman MBVC1600AA-1 modular blower has an output that is rated to match up to a 3.5 to 4 ton system. Although not always the case, in order for a paired air conditioning or heat pump system to function at peak heating and cooling efficiency, ideal system configurations will have the coil within the range of this modular blower. Please note that in order for the modular blower to provide straight electric heating, a compatible electric heat kit is required, available to be field-installed at an additional cost.

Warranty

Goodman offers a 12 year parts warranty on their variable speed modular blowers when your installation that follows your state and local codes. Please note that in order for the warranty to be upheld, you must register the unit online through the manufacturer.

The Goodman MBVC1600AA-1 modular blower is designed to be flexible in installation application. With its small form factor and ability to work with a separate AC or heat pump coil, the unit is easily installable. For durability, there is foil-faced insulation inside the cabinet, and the outer casing is constructed from strong galvanized steel.

The Goodman MBVC1600AA-1 uses a variable speed ECM blower motor, providing precise adjustments to keep your home’s temperature as stable as possible. The unit is also compatible with ComfortNet communicating equipment, and with paired with it, temperature control, efficiency, and overall comfort are enhanced even further. Either way, the MBVC1600AA-1 lives up to the Goodman name.

FEATURES

• 4 to 5 Ton
• Horizontal Configuration
• 39.5" Width

Thermostatic Expansion Valves (TXVs) are:

• A requirement for 14 SEER or higher split system heat pumps
• A requirement for many condensers or heat pump systems that use the new R-410A refrigerant
• An optional upgrade for any other air conditioner or heat pump system

Your system will operate more precisely and with greater efficiency with a TXV. These valves offer more control over how much liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator coil. The valves only allow a precise amount of liquid into the evaporator coil to ensure that all liquid that enters fully evaporates. This prevents too little liquid from entering the evaporator making the system run less efficiently. It also prevents too much liquid from entering the evaporator which can cause excess liquid in the suction line. Thermostatic Expansion Valves can be mounted in any position on the evaporator coil inlet and are reliable, efficient and virtually trouble-free. Select the TXV to correspond with the tonnage of your air conditioner or heat pump, as well as to match the type of refrigerant your systems uses, R-22 (standard) or R-410A (new alternative). 

When using a TXV, manufacturer's recommend also installing a hard-start capacitor in your heat pump or condenser. This capacitor gives an extra "jolt" of electricity upon startup to push the refrigerant against higher head pressures that are present with a TXV system. If a hard-start capacitor isn't installed, the equipment compressor may sometimes have difficulty starting.
