Replacing Friedrich Climate Master 700 Series PTACs
Friedrich's Climate Master 700 series PTACs went into a wide range of commercial and residential buildings. They used a 36" x 16" sleeve, six inches narrower than today's standard, so a standard 42 x 16 PTAC is not an option without rebuilding the wall opening.
The 700 series lineup
- 702: cooling with electric strip heat or hydronic heat
- 703: standard range heat pump
- 704: extended range heat pump
Original units were built from 6,000 to 15,000 BTU of cooling.
The replacement
The Applied Comfort CM is built for the Climate Master opening.
- 9,000, 12,000, and 15,000 BTU cooling
- Electric strip heat at 2.5, 3.4, or 5 kW
- Heat pump and hydronic versions
- Electronic touchpad controls, with electro-mechanical controls available
- Separate indoor and outdoor fan motors, washable aluminum mesh filters
Matching the original
Use the model number to match heat type: a 702 with pipes connected needs a hydronic CM, a 702 without pipes needs electric heat, and a 703 or 704 needs a heat pump. If the old unit was 6,000 or 7,000 BTU, size up to the 9,000 BTU replacement and confirm the room load.
A model number breakdown for the 702, 703, and 704 is in the documents on the CM page.
