Description
The Rheem RACBYB048AJT000NA is a 4-ton (48,000 BTU/h) packaged air conditioner from the Endeavor® Line Classic® Series. Designed for both commercial and residential use, it delivers efficient cooling with a 13.4 SEER2 rating and uses environmentally friendly R-454B refrigerant. This unit supports horizontal and down-discharge airflow configurations and is suited for rooftop or ground-level installation. Equipped with a factory-charged scroll compressor and microchannel aluminum coils, it offers durable, efficient, and code-compliant cooling performance.
Performance
This model features a single-stage scroll compressor that provides steady, reliable cooling operation with reduced maintenance needs. The TXV (thermostatic expansion valve) metering ensures precise refrigerant control for optimal performance. Its microchannel coil technology improves heat exchange efficiency while minimizing refrigerant volume and enhancing corrosion resistance. The unit produces approximately 1,700 CFM airflow, ensuring even and comfortable cooling across medium to large spaces.
Smart Features
While it does not include built-in smart controls, the RACBYB048AJT000NA is compatible with leading smart thermostats and zoning systems for enhanced temperature management. It incorporates Rheemās PlusOne® ServiceSmart technology, which features built-in refrigerant leak detection, high and low-pressure switches, and other service-friendly diagnostics to reduce troubleshooting time and increase system uptime.
Comfort & Noise
Engineered for quieter operation, this packaged air conditioner maintains an outdoor sound rating near 81 dBA. The scroll compressor combined with an optimized fan motor reduces vibration and noise, promoting occupant comfort. Its high airflow capacity helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures and humidity control, especially in hot and humid environments.
Use Case Fit
The RACBYB048AJT000NA is well-suited for a variety of applications, including commercial buildings, multifamily residences, and large single-family homes. Its rooftop or slab mounting flexibility makes it an excellent choice for different installation environments, especially in warm climate zones where energy efficiency and environmental compliance are critical.
Value & Reliability
Constructed with a robust steel cabinet featuring corrosion-resistant panels and base rails, this packaged unit is built for durability in demanding conditions. It ships factory-tested and fully charged to reduce commissioning time. Maintenance is simplified with factory-installed filter driers, service ports, and accessible design elements, ensuring long-term reliability and lower total cost of ownership.
Summary Wrap-Up
