This document describes the Rheem RRKA- Standard Efficiency 10-SEER Series Gas Heat/Electric Cooling Package Units, designed for commercial rooftop applications. These units are available in nominal sizes ranging from 3 to 5 tons [10.6-17.6 kW] and are exclusively for 3-phase models.
Function Description:
The Rheem RRKA- series units combine gas heating and electric cooling in a single package, making them suitable for rooftop installations where both heating and cooling capabilities are required. They are designed for standard efficiency operation, meeting 10-SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) standards. The units are equipped with Copeland® Scroll® compressors for efficient and quiet operation, and feature a tubular heat exchanger design for improved efficiency and durability in heating. Direct-spark ignition and remote flame sensors enhance reliability and efficiency for the gas heating section. The units offer flexible airflow options, including side and down discharge, to accommodate various installation requirements.
