The Ruud brand was recently given a top rating by the leading consumer advocacy group among all major heating and air conditioning manufacturers. Quality claims are a dime a dozen - documented and published results are much harder to come by.

The RQ Series heat pump package unit's compact size and flush mount installation capability not only provides an attractive appearance that leaves no unsightly, dangerous or unsanitary gaps, but also better performance and energy efficiency as a result of additional coil clearance.

Additionally, full louver coil protection completely protects the coil from weather extremes and yard hazards.

The cabinet has a powder painted finish that protects it from the harshest weather extremes and keeps it looking new for years.

All of these benefits and advantages make the RQ series package unit the perfect choice for homes with space or ducting limitations.

Using a compact footprint in all sizes ranging from two to five tons, the Ruud RQNJ Series mobile home approved package heat pump unit features the high-quality Copeland Scroll compressor, absolutely the smoothest, quietest, most durable compressor ever developed.

Because it has fewer moving parts, there is very little to wear out. In fact, over time this compressor actually "wears in" and becomes more efficient. Scroll Details

Other features include forkable base rails that allow for separation between the unit base and the ground, a removable drain pan, easily accessible evaporator coil and indoor blower assembly; high-static airflow, and a field installed heat strip where heating is desired.

When Ruud engineers and product development teams finished the design, they traveled throughout North America asking for feedback from contractors on how to improve on the package unit design concept.

The contractors provided many suggestions for installation and service-friendly design enhancements, and those changes were quickly incorporated into the final product design.

Ruud has designed this package heat pump for ground level or rooftop installation with a side-by-side supply and return duct configuration. It can be installed in mobile or modular homes, on flat rooftops, or any home with an open crawl space.

It will normally require about 4-6 hours to replace an existing, similar type system. For you do-it-yourselfers replacing an existing package unit, simply connect your existing supply and return ducts along with the electrical connections, and the installation is complete.

Only a qualified electrician should make the electrical connections. We don't believe you'll find a better combination of quality and value in package heat pump units anywhere, at any price.

Once in a while, a new technology is developed that gains widespread acceptance through superior function and design; the Copeland Scroll Compressor has gained respect and industry-wide acceptance through time-tested field use and not from laboratory theory.

The Copeland Scroll Compressor has proven itself to be the quietest and most dependable ever created.

Here's why:

The Copeland Scroll technology is based on the concept of compliance.Two scroll members interact to simultaneously achieve high efficiency and durability.

This efficient twisting motion greatly reduces the numbers of parts that can fail while eliminating the inefficient up and down piston motion of ordinary compressors.

This unique and patented approach. achieving both radial and axial compliance - provides important advantages:

• Continuous flank contact, maintained by centrifugal force, minimizes gas leakage and maximizes efficiency.
• Radial compliance allows the scroll members to separate the presence of liquid refrigerant or debris, thereby substantially improving durability and reliability.
• Axial compliance allows the scroll to remain in continuous contact in all normal operating conditions, ensuring minimal leakage without the use of tip seals.
• Both radial and axial compliance allow the scroll members to actually wear in rather than wear out.
