Description
The Bard W72AF-A00 is the high-capacity end of the WA Series wall-mount, single-stage packaged air conditioner lineup, built for commercial and industrial cooling loads where the exterior wall-mount format is the right footprint for the site. It’s commonly specified for larger modular deployments, institutional buildings, equipment-heavy rooms, telecom/data shelters, industrial support spaces, energy storage sites, and data center support environments where cooling demand is significant and the building layout benefits from an exterior-mounted packaged system.
W72AF-A00 is backed by certified performance values for spec-driven selection. Capacity is certified to ANSI/ARI 390-2021, and the W72AF model is rated at 72,000 BTUH cooling capacity with 10.0 EER (ratings based on no outside air introduction). These values give buyers and pros a clean performance baseline when comparing high-capacity wall-mount packaged cooling options by model number.
The WA Series platform is designed for commercial uptime and durability. It uses multi-speed ECM indoor motor technology for airflow control, an enclosed outdoor fan motor with ball bearings for longevity, and copper/aluminum finned coils. The refrigerant platform is R-454B (A2L) with a filter drier included for system protection, and the evaporator coil includes green fin coil protection to support long-term performance in demanding environments.
When the job requires ventilation, filtration upgrades, or supplemental electric heat, W72AF-A00 can be configured with available options such as economizers/ERVs, filtration up to MERV13, IAQ accessories like UVC-LED and NPBI, cabinet finishes/coatings, and optional electric heat from 2 kW up to 15 kW depending on the application requirements.
