Goodman Introduces New R32 Side Discharge Units
by HVAC Distributors January 7, 2025Goodman has introduced new R32 side discharge outdoor units, with related indoor units, as part of the transition to A2L refrigerants.
Background:
- Daikin is introducing the new R32 outdoor units in combination with the matching air handlers, vertical coils, and horizontal coils.
- See the separate Amana R32 side discharge bulletin for detail on the indoor units (AHVE_3, CAPEA_3, and CHPEA_3).
- There is a performance improvement with R32 refrigerant. See Appendix Two.
- The new Goodman system still requires the Goodman Smart Stat or another compatible stat.
- As with the R410A version, S-Series certification is recommended but not required.
A2L Leak Mitigation:
-
- A2L leak mitigation is built into the air handler. No added installation or parts are needed.
- For dual fuel applications, like the GMVM97 and GMVC96 furnaces, the Non-A2L Furnace Integration Kit 0230K00044 (.489914) is required.
