Overview

The Lennox CBX32MV Variable Speed Air Handler is a quiet, environmentally responsible air handler designed for virtually any application, offering enhanced comfort and efficiency for residential heating, cooling, and indoor air quality needs. It is part of the Dave Lennox Signature® Collection, emphasizing innovation and superior home comfort.

Function Description

The CBX32MV air handler is engineered to deliver consistent comfort by maintaining even temperatures and slowly circulating air throughout the home. This slow, steady circulation helps to lower humidity levels and improve overall air quality. It integrates seamlessly with other quality Lennox products to form a complete, continuous comfort network, providing an integrated home comfort solution.

At its core, the device utilizes a variable speed blower motor, which is a key component for its quiet operation, enhanced humidity control, and overall added comfort. Unlike standard motors that start with a sudden blast of air, the variable speed motor gradually increases its speed, ensuring a smooth and quiet startup. This gradual ramp-up also contributes to more even temperatures throughout the home compared to conventional single-speed motors.

The air handler is optimized for non-ozone-depleting R410A refrigerant, aligning with environmental responsibility and meeting the EPA's most stringent environmental guidelines. It features a high-efficiency evaporator coil that provides excellent heat transfer, contributing to its energy efficiency. An efficient check and expansion device further ensures highly efficient operation while using the environmentally friendly R410A refrigerant.

For heating, the CBX32MV can be equipped with an optional electric heat component, providing supplemental heat for added comfort. It is designed to work in conjunction with central air conditioners or heat pumps, such as the Lennox XC21/XP19, which are known for their quiet and efficient performance. The system can also integrate with a Harmony III™ Zoning System for customized temperatures in different rooms, and a ComfortSense™ 7000 Series Touchscreen Thermostat for precise temperature and humidity control. For additional heating needs, an Even Heater™ Supplemental Heater can be incorporated to provide staged supplemental heat.

The air handler's design also focuses on indoor air quality. During warmer months, the variable speed motor allows the air conditioner to remove more moisture from the air, enhancing comfort and air quality. Furthermore, low-speed fan operation increases the effectiveness of air filters, enabling them to capture and remove more contaminants from the air, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

Usage Features

The CBX32MV is designed for quiet and efficient operation, making it suitable for virtually any residential application. Its variable speed motor is a primary feature for user comfort, as it ramps up to speed slowly, avoiding the sudden noise and air blasts associated with single-speed motors. This gradual operation ensures a quieter environment and more consistent air distribution.

The air handler's ability to maintain even temperatures throughout the home is a significant comfort advantage. By slowly circulating air, it prevents hot and cold spots, leading to a more uniform and comfortable indoor climate. This steady circulation also plays a crucial role in humidity control, as it allows the system to more effectively remove moisture from the air, especially during warmer months. Reduced humidity levels contribute to a more comfortable living space and can also help prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

The multi-position design of the CBX32MV offers installation flexibility, allowing it to be adapted to various home layouts and system configurations. This versatility ensures that the air handler can be integrated into existing or new HVAC systems with ease.

The unit's insulated blower compartment is another key feature that contributes to quiet operation by reducing sound levels. This insulation also helps the unit meet Florida standards for air leakage, ensuring that less than 2% of air leaks from the unit, which improves efficiency.

The CBX32MV is part of a broader ecosystem of Lennox products that can be combined to create a comprehensive home comfort system. This includes integration with thermostats, filtration devices, germicidal lights, humidifiers, HEPA bypass filtration systems, energy recovery ventilators, and even residential generators for standby power during outages. This modular approach allows homeowners to customize their comfort system to meet specific needs, from precise temperature and humidity control to advanced air purification.

Maintenance Features

The Lennox CBX32MV is designed with features that simplify maintenance and ensure long-term reliability. A key maintenance-friendly aspect is the tool-free filter access, which allows for easy and quick replacement of air filters. This design encourages regular filter changes, which are crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality and the efficiency of the HVAC system.

The unit's corrosion-resistant cabinet, featuring a durable, baked-on finish, is built for long-lasting reliability. This robust construction helps protect the internal components from environmental factors and wear, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

An important feature for hygiene and system longevity is the antimicrobial drain pan. This pan includes an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of mold and mildew. Made from a durable composite material, it is designed not to corrode or rust, which is a common issue in traditional drain pans. This feature helps maintain a cleaner system and prevents the circulation of mold spores, contributing to healthier indoor air.

Lennox stands behind the quality of the CBX32MV with a 10-year limited warranty on covered components. This warranty provides peace of mind, assuring homeowners of the product's durability and the manufacturer's commitment to quality.

The overall design of the CBX32MV, with its focus on high-efficiency components and durable materials, aims to minimize the need for extensive maintenance. The use of non-ozone-depleting R410A refrigerant also means that the system adheres to modern environmental standards, which can simplify future servicing and compliance. The integration with advanced control systems like the ComfortSense™ 7000 Series Thermostat can also provide diagnostic information, potentially alerting homeowners or service technicians to issues before they become major problems, thus facilitating proactive maintenance.
