AAON’s RQ/RN Series Low-Ambient Variable-Speed Air-Source Heat Pump rooftop heating and cooling units, from 2 to 10 tons, won Gold this year in the HVAC Light Commercial Equipment category. The units can produce heat-pump heating at ambient outdoor temperatures down to 0°F, according to the company.
The low-ambient operation allows the use of RQ/RN Series pumps in a wide variety of climates; the units also have an option that allows for gas or electric backup heating for continued space heating during below-zero conditions.
