This Goodman 3-Ton 14.3 SEER2 Heat Pump Condenser and Evaporator Coil System pairs the GZV6S series variable-speed R-32 heat pump condenser (GZV6SA3610*) with a horizontal evaporator coil (CHPEA3626B3). The system is AHRI certified (Certificate #217577955) and delivers up to 32,400 BTU/h in cooling and 34,000 BTU/h in heating at 47°F. The GZV6S features a variable-speed swing compressor with R-32 refrigerant, providing efficient all-electric heating and cooling for residential applications.

- CHPEA3626B3 — Goodman Horizontal Cased evaporator coil with Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV). Cabinet dimensions: 26" W x 21" D x 17½" H. All-aluminum coil optimized for R-32 refrigerant. Galvanized steel cabinet with leather grain-embossed finish and thermoplastic drain pan.
🛠 Pro-Installer Tip
Technical Friction: Stand-alone heat pump condenser and evaporator coil systems rely on the existing air handler or furnace blower in the home. The GZV6S communicating outdoor unit must be matched with a compatible air-moving device that can deliver proper airflow (typically 400 CFM per ton, or approximately 1,200 CFM for this 3-ton system). Without a communicating furnace or air handler, the system runs in non-communicating mode, which may limit variable-speed optimization and diagnostic capabilities.
Long-Term Prevention: Verify the existing blower can sustain rated airflow across the new evaporator coil's static pressure drop. An undersized blower or dirty ductwork can cause the EEV to hunt, leading to inconsistent superheat and premature compressor wear. After brazing all connections with nitrogen purge, evacuate to below 500 microns and hold for a decay test—R-32's lower molecular weight makes it less forgiving of marginal joints.
Expert Validation: Use a micron gauge (not a compound gauge) for evacuation verification. Measure total external static pressure with a digital manometer at the supply and return plenums to confirm airflow is within the rated range for the evaporator coil. Tools such as the TruTech 400ABG or Fluke 922 are recommended for accurate static pressure measurement.
Professional Standard: R-32 is an A2L mildly flammable refrigerant per ASHRAE 34. Follow all local mechanical code requirements for A2L refrigerant installations, including proper charge limits based on the smallest occupied room volume the system serves. Verify that the existing line set diameter matches the manufacturer's requirements—the GZV6SA3610 requires 3/8" liquid and 7/8" suction lines.
Key Benefits
- High-Efficiency Heating & Cooling: Rated at 14.3 SEER2 and 8.0 HSPF2, this system exceeds federal minimum efficiency standards and can reduce energy consumption compared to standard-efficiency equipment.
- R-32 Refrigerant (Low GWP): R-32 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675—approximately 68% lower than R-410A (GWP 2,088). This next-generation refrigerant also delivers improved thermodynamic efficiency and requires less charge per system.
- Variable-Speed Compressor Technology: The GZV6S swing compressor ramps up and down to match actual heating and cooling loads, reducing energy waste, minimizing temperature swings, and lowering operating sound levels compared to fixed-speed systems.
- Quiet Operation: The digitally commutated condenser fan motor and high-density compressor sound blanket help reduce outdoor noise levels, with quiet-mode capability providing up to three different sound levels (as low as 45 dBA).
- Durable Construction: Heavy-gauge galvanized steel cabinet with custom ivory white powder-paint finish, high-corrosion ZAM® unpainted steel bottom frame, and 500-hour salt-spray tested components designed for long service life in demanding outdoor environments.
