Description
The Rheem WA14AY18AJ1NA condenser combined with the RB2TY2417STANMJB05 air handler delivers a 2-ton split air conditioning system with a 14.3 SEER2 rating. Utilizing the environmentally responsible R-454B refrigerant, this matched set supports outdoor pad-mount installation and a multi-position indoor air handler design for upflow, downflow, or horizontal placement. Suited for residential, multi-family, and light commercial applications, the system is optimized for durability and efficient year-round comfort in warm climates.
Performance
The condenser employs a reliable single-stage scroll compressor and a 7 mm coil for effective heat transfer and stable cooling capacity. Paired with the RB2TY air handler, the system benefits from an advanced multi-speed constant torque ECM blower motor, which adjusts airflow dynamically to meet changing load conditions. The aluminum indoor coil and insulated cabinet maintain efficient airflow and system balance, achieving the rated 14.3 SEER2 and 12.0 EER2 efficiencies.
Smart Features
This system supports a variety of programmable thermostats and zoning solutions, allowing contractors and property managers to tailor comfort and efficiency. The RB2TY air handler’s multi-speed blower motor allows for improved modulation and quieter operation, compatible with modern control systems and enabling seamless integration with third-party automation platforms.
Comfort & Noise
Operating at approximately 70 dBA, the WA14AY condenser offers quiet outdoor performance. The RB2TY air handler provides enhanced comfort with its multi-speed blower, delivering smooth and precise airflow between 600 and 800 CFM. The air handler cabinet features 1-inch foil-faced insulation to minimize noise transmission and improve overall indoor air quality.
Use Case Fit
This system is well-suited for hot and humid climates such as those found in the southern United States. Its adaptability for various indoor installation orientations and use of R-454B refrigerant make it an excellent choice for residential homes, multi-family buildings, and light commercial facilities requiring efficient and environmentally conscious cooling solutions.
Value & Reliability
Constructed with a powder-coated galvanized steel outdoor cabinet and corrosion-resistant base, the WA14AY condenser withstands harsh weather conditions. The RB2TY air handler features a robust steel cabinet, an aluminum coil for corrosion resistance, and enhanced blower motor technology for improved reliability and reduced maintenance. This design supports long-term durability and operational efficiency.
Summary Wrap-Up
The Rheem WA14AY and RB2TY bundle combines trusted condenser technology with an advanced multi-speed air handler for reliable, efficient cooling. Its flexible installation options, environmentally friendly refrigerant, and enhanced blower modulation make it a compelling choice for homeowners, contractors, and property professionals seeking comfort, compliance, and energy savings in one integrated system.
