INDIANAPOLIS, June 1, 2014 – Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems released the Evolution V variable-speed heat pump and air conditioner, which offer a winning combination of features and benefits for homeowners and contractors. Bryant, a leading supplier of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, is a part of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

Both the Evolution V heat pump and air conditioner utilize variable-speed system operation, which transitions smoothly between five compressor stages when installed as part of a complete Evolution system to help deliver enhanced home comfort. By having five stages of operation, the Evolution V provides improved humidity control, more precise load matching and zoning capability.

The quiet operating sound levels of the Evolution V benefit homeowners, with sound ratings on the 3-ton model as low as 55 dBA for the heat pump and 56 dBA for the air conditioner. In addition, the Evolution V heat pump and air conditioner feature an ultra-compact footprint.

The rotary compressor technology of the Evolution V allows up to 75 percent capacity reduction and results in impressive energy efficiency as well. The Evolution V heat pump can achieve a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) up to 11.0 and a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) up to 18, while the Evolution V air conditioner can reach up to 19 SEER.

“The Evolution V heat pump and air conditioner represent our most affordable variable-speed models,” said Rob Lambert, product manager, Bryant. “Furthermore, these units carry an extensive list of benefits as well, including increased efficiency, intelligent operation and low sound.”
