ARCOAIRE EVM4X24M17A “V” Evaporator Coil | 2 Tons

One coil, three ways to install it

In a home, the heating unit does not always stand upright in the middle of the basement. It may lie in the ceiling, slide into a crawl space or sit in a closet with the ducts heading downward. The Arcoaire EVM4X24M17A multipoise evaporator coil adapts to all three situations: it works in vertical upflow, vertical downflow or horizontal. This 2-ton R-410A model adds central air conditioning to an electric furnace or an air handler. AirGreen installs it in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and on the South Shore.

Which projects it suits

The 2-ton size suits small central systems: a condo, a plex unit with its own furnace, a townhouse or a compact bungalow. We always confirm the capacity during the estimate. The flush fit is designed for a 17-1/2 in wide unit. The V-coil follows Arcoaire’s Power-V design: headers at the top and all-aluminum microchannel. According to the manufacturer, this layout delivers the same or better SEER without a larger coil. The thermostatic expansion valve is factory installed.

What changes when the unit lies on its side

In a horizontal installation, condensate must be able to drain without backing up. The PBT condensate drain pan resists corrosion, but the drain leaving it must be properly connected and keep a continuous slope; it is one of the points we take the most care with. The 24-gauge pre-painted steel cabinet is fully insulated, with foil-faced R-2.1 insulation. At 33.1 lb operating weight, the coil remains easy to lift up to a ceiling.

Two limits to know: Arcoaire limits this model to air conditioning, so it does not pair with a heat pump, and the coil sold alone does not qualify for the LogisVert grant. This model is available while supplies last.

How we install it

AirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than fifteen years. We work under RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, which covers ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work. We first check the orientation and width of the unit as well as the outdoor air conditioner, which must use R-410A. We then set the coil in the right position, connect it to the ducts, braze the 3/8 in and 3/4 in lines, perform the leak test and evacuation, then connect the drain. Commissioning includes setting the blower within the 600 to 1,000 CFM range published by Arcoaire.

The manufacturer offers a 10-year parts limited warranty with timely registration, or 5 years without registration within 90 days of installation.
