What evap coil can be efficiently used with a 10 seer rheem raka-024jaz condenser

frost could indicated low refrigerant charge. call for service. probably time for new unit.

Tonnage is 2.5 tons

SEER rating is 10

The probability of interconnecting two separate duct networks designed to properly distribute proper air flow with their own air handlers is remote. Is it possible?? Yes. Is it going to work perfectly ?? No. Even if it did, the noise level on a ten ton air handler would be very undesireable in a residence.

As a matter of fact, it may not even be possible depending on how the structure is laid out. A two story with a system in the attic and one in the basement isn't going to interconnect easily for instance...

Ask your installing company for the AHRI number. If installed with a
matching furnace and coil as listed in the certification then you will get 16 seer rating. If they installed something different than what is listed in the certificate then demand all parts listed or a refund.

T the upstairs is a 3 1/2 ton 10.0 SEER condenser, and the downstairs is a 2 1/2 ton 10.0 SEER condenser. You can use any 10 SEER Unit on replacement, but if you go any higher in SEER (efficiency), there is a possibility the unit will freeze up. The reason is because the indoor coil also has an efficiency rating (10.0 SEER). It is not a good idea to mismatch units when it comes to SEER. Otherwise, you can use any brand of unit, if you want to go higher in efficiency, you need to change the indoor coil as well. Hope this helps. Mark

Hi, this is a Rheem 2 ton unit. For each ton of cooling, there are 12, 000 btu's. So your model number is a 024, that equals 24,000 btu's of cooling. Please don't forget to rate me on this. Thank you.

you have a 3.5 ton unit.The evap will work with a new unit but it will not have the 13 seer performance that the new condencer with matching coil will give you.It is getting and harder to find the old 10 seer units check ebay and craigslist.

Hi, could be compressor loosing efficiency, i think suction pressure is to high at 85, also it could be moisture in your system, did mechanic replaces filter drier on high side of system , when he replaces evap. install filter drier on liquid line, if there isn't one, also check compressor valve, you can do that by cutting or desoldering the high side from compressor, connect charging port to compressor, conect your gauge charging port, start compressor, pump up to between 150- 200 psi shut off gauge, and leave for about 1 hr. then check pressure, if pressure decreases, then your compressor valve are leaking, if it maintain same pressure, then compressor valve is o/k. you can do same on suction side, this time in vacuum, if it holds vacuum pressure, then valve is o. k, RLA(LRA) lock rotor amps, is amount of amps compressor used to start, but will drop once compressor is running, 11.6 when operating is o/k, does your evap. compatible with condensing unit?, is it right size. check also that you're using right type of freon, check condensing unit & evap labels for right type of freon, make sure they can handle same type of freon. but check compressor valve carefully, i think your comperssor could be loosing it efficiency, compressor could be your problem. good luck.good luck

Superheat should be 8 to 12 degree's. Sub cooling around 18-22. I like to use superheat that way I know the coil is doing all it can do.
