unmatched by any other family of equipment. The 556A is an
air conditioning system utilizing Bryant’s Puron refrigerant.
The environmentally sound refrigerant allows you to make a
responsible decision in the protection of the earth’s ozone
layer. Bryant’s 556A system with Puron refrigerant meet the
Energy Star® guidelines for energy efficiency.
FEATURES
Puron
®
Environmentally Sound Refrigerant
—Is Bryant’s
refrigerant designed to help protect the environment. Puron
is an HFC refrigerant which does not contain chlorine that
can harm the ozone layer. The most important advantage of
Puron refrigerant is that it has not been banned in future air
conditioning systems as the traditional refrigerant R-22 has
been. Puron refrigerant is in service in thousands of systems
proving highly reliable, environmentally sound performance.
Bryant’s Evolution™ Controls
—These industry-leading
controls, when installed with Bryant’s Perfect Humidity™
variable-speed furnaces or fan coils, provide the homeowner
with:
–unparalleled control of temperature, humidity, indoor air
quality, and zoning
–unprecedented ease of use
–simple operation through on-screen, text-based service
reminders
Optional remote access through telephone or Internet is also
available when combined with a remote connectivity kit.
Heavy Duty Inlet Grille
—The DuraGuard™ coil protector,
made of a coated steel wire grid with vertical 3/8 in. spacing,
is designed to help protect the coil from inclement weather,
vandalism, and incidental damage. It provides protection
while not restricting airflow and maintaining ease of coil
inspection and cleaning.
High Efficiency Performance
—Is delivered through a com-
bination of features including Bryant’s Puron refrigerant,
scroll compressor, and advanced heat transfer surfaces. Effi-
ciency ratings are 14 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency
Ratio) with enhanced ratings of up to 15.75 SEER. Sophisti-
cated heat transfer surfaces utilized in Bryant’s 556A design
allow heat to easily be transferred to the outdoor air and
require less energy. The scroll compressor found in the 556A
design performs quietly and adds to the overall efficiency of
the system. The efficiency levels provided by the 556A pro-
vide end users with lower costs of operation than traditional
air conditioning systems.
Assured Future Service
—By utilizing the environmentally
sound refrigerant, Puron, 556A models will remain service-
able well into the future. The Clean Air Act of 1990 has
placed a cap on production of most other refrigerants which
has scheduled reductions beginning in 2004. The resulting
cap in production ultimately results in a complete ban on
many other refrigerants in new equipment by the year 2010.
These changes, required by federal law, mean the supply of
other refrigerants may be limited in the near future making
Puron the correct choice when considering long term ser-
viceability.
Highly Reliable Performance
—Is delivered through the
superior design of the system and componentry. The reli-
ability of the 556A model has been proven to provide the
lowest incidence of warranty service of any product in the
Bryant family. Long term reliability is assured through the
use of both high and low pressure switches which will not
allow the system to operate in the event of a significant
change in operating pressure. In doing this, the system is
protected from damage if an unusual condition arises.
Finally, Bryant includes a special liquid line filter drier
designed to trap moisture and contaminants which could
otherwise shorten the life of the system.
Bryant’s AeroQuiet System
— Extremely low operating
sound is the result of special attention to the air moving
through the outdoor unit, and a specially designed sound
enclosure surrounding the compressor to eliminate sound
transmission to the rest of the systems.
Application Versatility
—Bryant systems utilizing Puron
refrigerant have the same application guidelines as other sys-
tems. Applications which include long line sets (50 to 175 ft)
