The Goodman AMVT Series is a multi-position, variable-speed, ECM-based air handler with an internal TXV, designed for residential and light commercial heating and cooling applications. This air handler is compatible with ComfortBridge™ technology, which allows for enhanced communication and control within a complete HVAC system. It is suitable for use in 1.5 to 5 ton applications.
The primary function of the AMVT Series air handler is to circulate conditioned air throughout a building, working in conjunction with an outdoor condensing unit (for cooling) or a heat pump (for heating and cooling). Its variable-speed ECM blower motor is a key feature, allowing the unit to precisely control airflow, which contributes to improved comfort, humidity control, and energy efficiency. The internal factory-installed thermal expansion valves (TXVs) are crucial for optimizing refrigerant flow, ensuring efficient operation for both cooling and heat pump applications.
The integrated ComfortBridge™ Technology enables seamless communication between the air handler and other compatible HVAC components, such as thermostats and outdoor units. This communication allows the system to automatically configure airflow and tonnage, optimizing performance and simplifying installation. The unit provides constant CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) over a wide range of static pressure conditions, ensuring consistent airflow regardless of the duct system's resistance. This feature helps maintain optimal comfort levels and system efficiency.
For heating, the AMVT Series air handler can accommodate field-installed electric heater kits ranging from 3 kW to 25 kW, providing supplemental or primary heating capabilities. The unit is designed for multi-stage heat pump and cooling applications, allowing for more precise temperature control and energy savings by operating at different capacity levels as needed.
The AMVT Series air handler offers several features that enhance its usability and installation flexibility. Its multi-position design allows for horizontal or vertical configuration, making it adaptable to various installation spaces, including attics, closets, and basements. The 21-inch depth is specifically designed for easier attic access, simplifying installation and maintenance in confined spaces.
Commissioning and diagnostics are streamlined through the on-board Bluetooth connectivity, which pairs with the CoolCloud™ phone and tablet application. This allows technicians to easily set up the unit, monitor its performance, and diagnose issues wirelessly, reducing installation time and improving service efficiency. The unit also includes a CFM indicator, providing visual feedback on airflow.
For improved humidity and comfort control, the variable-speed ECM blower can operate at adjustable low CFM settings, which is beneficial for efficient fan-only operation and enhanced dehumidification during cooling cycles. The screw-less sides and back of the cabinet help reduce condensation when the unit is installed in humid environments, preventing potential water damage and mold growth.
The unit features tool-less filter access, making filter changes quick and easy for homeowners or technicians, which is essential for maintaining good indoor air quality and system efficiency. The DecaBDE-free thermoplastic drain pan with secondary drain connections provides a reliable solution for condensate management, preventing overflows.
Maintenance of the AMVT Series air handler is simplified by several design elements. The fault recall feature stores the six most recent faults, allowing technicians to quickly identify and troubleshoot recurring issues without needing to be present during the fault occurrence. This diagnostic capability, combined with the CoolCloud™ application, significantly reduces diagnostic time.
The rigid SmartFrame™ cabinet is designed for durability and ease of service. The foil-faced insulation covering the internal casing helps reduce cabinet condensation, which is important for preventing corrosion and maintaining insulation integrity over time. The glue-less cabinet insulation retention further simplifies any necessary insulation repairs or replacements.
The all-aluminum evaporator coil is a robust component designed for longevity and resistance to corrosion, which is a common issue with traditional copper coils in certain environments. This contributes to a longer lifespan for the unit and reduces the frequency of coil-related maintenance.
The unit's construction, with its galvanized, leather grain-embossed finish, provides a durable exterior that resists wear and tear. The cabinet's low air leakage rates, tested in accordance with ASHRAE standard 193, ensure that the system operates efficiently by minimizing conditioned air loss, which in turn reduces the workload on internal components and extends their lifespan. Regular filter replacement, facilitated by the tool-less access, is a key maintenance task that helps preserve the unit's efficiency and indoor air quality.
