18,000 BTU, 20 SEER

The 18,000 BTU, ACiQ-18Z-HH-M3C is designed to easily support up to 3 air handlers at up to 1.25 times the condenser BTU rating, or 22,500 BTU across all air handlers. This adaptive, inverter condenser is constantly self-adjusting to provide the precise amount of heating or cooling needed to maintain your desired temperature in each room or zone. You can set different temperatures room by room, even turn off heating and cooling in unused areas. This, combined with a high efficiency rating of 25 SEER, means you are buying a system designed to intelligently save you money both up front and over the lifetime of the unit.

Although the condenser is pre-charged, please note that this model of equipment does not have quick connect line set connectors and is not a self-install unit. You will need a professional to add more refrigerant and vacuum the lines as needed. Installation materials such as line sets, control wire, drain hose, whip and disconnect are not included, but are available at additional cost in the Accessories section to the right of this text. For all multi zone ACiQ condensers, a minimum of two air handlers is needed for the unit to function.

Extreme Heat Base Pan Heater Technology

Each ACiQ condenser has integrated Extreme Heat technology to maximize heat performance in extreme cold weather. Extended heat pump performance (HyperHeat) harnesses the power of inverter condenser with outdoor temp sensing, variable refrigerant flow and variable condenser fan speed to maximize heat extraction all the way down to -22°F. Plus, every Extreme Heat ACiQ condenser includes a base pan heater to keep ice from collecting on the condenser coil during heat pump operation.

Quality Construction

State-of-the-Art manufacturing is behind every ACiQ product, resulting in quiet, effective operation over a long service life. Most models have low ambient heating and cooling.

Highest Efficiency

ACiQ saves you money up front, but also over time by reducing energy bills. Every ACiQ condenser features a variable inverter twin rotary compressor, lowering wear and increasing performance. Compare specs against other brands in the same price category, and you will agree, ACiQ is the best value.

Longer life, longer warranty

Intelligent design goes into every element of ACiQ’s manufacturing ensuring flawless performance for years. Low friction, variable inverter twin rotary compressors give bulletproof reliability. Register equipment at ACiQ.com to extend warranty protection to 7 years parts, 12 years compressor.

Installation and Maintenance

ACiQ multi zone condensers are pre-charged with R410-A refrigerant for 25' per air handler connection. In many cases, no additional refrigerant is needed. All units are run-tested at the factory for years of trouble-free performance. Troubleshooting is easy thanks to unit's self diagnosing control board with alerts that are sent to each connected air handler.

Self Cleaning Condenser

ACiQ condensers stay clean and efficient with self-cleaning technology built right in. At the end of each cycle, the fan reverses direction and blows air out the back of the unit — helping remove leaves, dirt, and debris before buildup can begin.

6,000 BTU - 12,000 BTU ACiQ Platinum Single Zone Slim Ceiling Casette Mini Split Air Handler - R454B | 230V

Slim Ceiling Cassettes give you the advantages of a traditional cassette, but in a slimmer profile designed to fit between 16”-on-center joists. This means an easier installation in many cases.

Slim Ceiling Cassettes have a one-way air delivery, taking in return air along one edge and delivering conditioned air out the other. Traditional ceiling cassettes send conditioned air out in 4 directions and take return air in at the center.

Slim Ceiling Cassette air handlers provide the same high-efficiency heating and cooling of a regular wall-mounted unit and come with a hand-held remote control. Once mounted in the ceiling, only the grille is visible for the most understated appearance.

This Slim Ceiling Cassette is rated for 6K, 9K and 12K Condensers and has a switch that allows you to change between settings as needed to fit your system.

BTU Compatibility

• Rated for 6,000, 9,000, and 12,000 BTU applications
• R-454B refrigerant – efficient and environmentally friendly
• Compatible with ACiQ multi-zone systems

Switchable Sizing

• ACiQ Slim Cassette models are rated for 6,000, 9,000, and 12,000 BTU applications.
  

Installation Considerations

Slim Ceiling Cassettes are flush-mounted, which requires removal of enough ceiling material to create a cavity for the unit. The Slim Ceiling Cassette is designed to fit between 16” on-center joists, and the narrow profile means no changes to your framing will be required in most cases. Additionally, Ceiling Cassettes have factory-installed, onboard condensate pumps to lift the condensation up to 14 inches. From there, it will be necessary to construct a PVC drain system to route the condensation to a safe wastewater location. Refrigerant and wiring connections are the same as the wall-mounted units.

Features

• Narrow profile fits between 16 inch-on-center joists
• Rated for 6K, 9K, and 12K BTU – dip switch adjustable (model dependent)
• No-ladder filter cleaning – grille lowers on cables for easy access to filter
• Handheld remote included
• Decorative Grille included
