Additional features: Rheem’s eSync integration technology (potable water heating) control board is connected to the RTU-C, which allows potable water heat recovery during air conditioning mode. Working as part of a Rheem H2AC system, the rooftop unit provides potable hot water by rejecting the heat from the condenser coil into a water heat exchanger. The preheated water is then sent to a storage tank, where it can be heated on demand to the desired final temperature much more efficiently.
Warranty information: Rheem will furnish a replacement for any part of this product that fails in normal use and service within the applicable periods stated in accordance with the terms of the limited warranty. The RHKL-D commercial three-phase unit comes with five-year compressor, one-year parts, 10-year factory heat exchanger, and 20-year stainless steel heat exchanger warranties.
Special installation requirements: Rheem’s high-efficiency tankless or commercial tank water heaters and storage tanks are recommended for the greatest energy-savings potential.
