The TA17 evaporator is constructed with heavy-duty materials and has 24-volt heavy-duty motors and large diameter blower wheels mounted outboard to inject air directly into the ducts. The C-5 condenser has five high performance axial fans with a corrosion resistant coil.
Controls are fully functional with digital cabin set point. The 655cc transit style compressor is equipped with an un-loader, transit clutch, and high and low pressure switches. The TA17 can be equipped with an optional R120 rooftop condenser, is compatible with all OEM supplied ducts and also can be mounted in freeblow configuration.
TA20
The TA-20 rooftop product line features rooftop units characterized by powerful cooling capacity as well as a distinctive aerodynamic design. Rated at 34K BTU/hr, the TA-20 product line is ideal for a variety of applications, including small commercial bus, Type A school bus and work vans such as Sprinter, ProMaster and Ford Transit.
Units feature an aluminum body encased by ultramodern, UV-protected ABS acrylic cover and evaporator blowers oriented to support center aisle ducting or freeblow air distribution with maximum air flow. The TA-20 can be configured as a Tie-In or Super system and is available with optional heat and electronic controls.
The skirt mounted condensers with the latest technology, corrosion resistant, all-aluminum parallel flow condenser coils and high-efficiency, low-amperage draw condenser fans, are now available with stainless steel housing.
