Lennox HVAC Product Label Informationm

Lennox HVAC equipment like the indoor air handler or outdoor compressor-condenser unit is identified by a product data tag or sticker that contains information about the unit. The data tag will include two key identification fields: the product designation or identification code and the product's individual serial number.

Lennox Product Serial Number & equipment age

The product serial number is a unique character string including numbers that can be decoded to give the product's age and manufacturing details.

Where can I find OEM performance data for my Lennox air conditdioner?

How can I get hold of OEM expanded performance data? The manufacturers websites seem to be password protected. Do all 5-ton AC units have much the same latent cooling capacity? - On 2022-02-12 by Trevor Williams

@ Trevor Williams

I'm in over my head trying to answer this question but thanks, it's important and interesting.

Older Lennox units that used copper coils may have seen more leakage from corrosion than newer ones (since 2014) that have, like other manufacturers, changed to aluminum. That may be a factor in the leakage your system experienced.

The Trane XR16 is one of the "lower end" (less costly) lines offered by that company and has a SEER around 16 or 17. The Trane XR16-4TTR6061B or 4TTR6060B are its 5-ton rated units rated at actually 60,000 btuh. The Trane XR16-4TTR6061C, also a nominal 5-ton unit actually has a little smaller cooling capacity-actual, of 57,500 btuh.

So if your Trane is a different model, nominally a 4-ton unit, it's not one of those above.
See this Trane example 5-ton unit energy guide for the Trane-XR16-4TTR6060B that is actually rated around 14 SEER. https://inspectapedia.com/aircond/Trane-XR16-4TTR6060.pdf

The Lennox HSXB15 series claim SEER between 12 and 15, varying among model sizes, with the -060 signifying a 5-ton unit. The fact that the energy ratings differ might be a clue that the actual field performance may vary, too, for two A/C units of equal ton-rating.

I will attach a chart, just an excerpt from a larger document with more data and not necessarily exactly your Lennox unit, but illustrating some of the variables in the actual cooling capacity of a given air conditioner. You'll see that the cooling capacity is affected by or varies, for the exact same unit in otherwise identical installations, based on changes in the entering air temperature, the air volume or flow rate through the system, and the outdoor air temperature entering the condensing coil.

Given that example it would be no surprise that two 5-ton units from two different manufacturers, sporting different engineering details, designs, specifications, may actually vary in their effective cooling capacity or, as your question puts it "cooling output". Details for your Lennox unit are

Followup by Trevor Williams

Many thanks for the response. (Apologies: I meant ‘sensible’ cooling rather than latent cooling.) Here’s the larger issue that prompted my question.

We plan on replacing a 5-ton Lennox (HSXB15-060) with a 5-ton Trane XR16. The Lennox unit cooled 3200 sq ft without problems for 15 years but leaked 6 lbs of refrigerant last year.

Wrightsoft sizing calculations indicate that we need a unit delivering about 60,000 BTUh sensible cooling and 6,500 BTUh latent cooling (setpoint 77F). The Trane replacement delivers a little more than 40,000 sensible BTUh’s and so appears undersized. I assumed all 5-ton units delivered much the same cooling output.

If so, how come the Lennox worked so well? OR, does the 5-ton Lennox deliver more sensible cooling than a 5-ton Trane? Is there a lot of variation between nominally equivalent units in the same environment?

Reply by Inspectapedia Com Moderator (edited) - Not all air conditioner "tons of cooling capacity" ratings are equal

@ Trevor Williams

Latent cooling is in essence the energy required to remove moisture from indoor air - dehumidification. Asking if all 5-ton AC units will have the same latent cooling capacity is perhaps a little tricky.

On the face of it, 5 tons of cooling capacity, if we keep all building conditions the same (occupants, indoor humidity level, other sources of indoor moisture, air leakage etc.), ought to have the same latent cooling capacity.

OPINION: But I'm not so sure.

A simple change such as blower fan speed or even cooling coil design or how moisture is collected and removed in the air handler may cause variations in just how efficiently a given 5-ton cooling system dehumidifies indoor air.

And if the cooling capacity is over-sized for the building, the indoor air will be cooled, but it will not be successfully dehumidified.

For other readers

at DEFINITION of HEATING, COOLING & INSULATION TERMS

we provide definitions of sensible and latent heat and cooling, including

LATENT HEAT & LATENT COOLING

There we provide a more scholarly exposition and expert references you might want to review.

For example, we cite Shirey (2006) who points out that just how moisture is collected and removed from a cooling coil may affect re-entrainment of moisture back into indoor air between operating cycles of the equipment.

And I don't assume that all air handlers, cooling coils, and condensate collection and removal designs are identical across various 5-ton cooling system air handlers. We certainly see differences that result, in some cases, in moisture blowing off of the coil and into the ductwork (a candidate for re-humidification). Thank you for a helpful question.


3 Year Old Lennox not providing sufficient cooling

I have a 3 year old lennox hvac system (Complete new system ductings etc.). Currently experiencing low overall cooling capacity. Condenser is clean, fan blowing, compressor pumping. However, both high pressure and low pressure are cold either at condenser or coil. Air filter is clean. Any ideas? The contractor that installled unit is no longer in business. Thanks

re: additional info to my last post. The airflow is very good. The air filter is good (pleated type), no obstructions. Just noticed a drop of refrigerant oil hanging off of the high pressure side between a small canister I assume is a filter and the expansion valve. Thanks - On 2011-07-06 by Brad

Reply by (mod) - drop of refrigerant oil hanging off of the high pressure side

Brad: "drop of refrigerant oil hanging off of the high pressure side" could mean you have a refrigerant leak at that fitting.

And yes the small canister is usually a water filter installed on a line when a system has had to be opened for service.

Re: "low overall cooling capacity" you didn't indicate if the air flow volume is low or the air flow volume is ok but the temperature of the air supply is not cool enough.

That distinction is not a bad place to start diagnosing air conditioning: low air flow points to dirty filter, blocked or disconnected ducts, a closed register or damper, blower problem, air leaks etc.

Air supply that is not cool enough points first to a refrigerant loss or a comperssor condenser problem.

Need Help with my Lennos Unit - I messed up the wiring

Usually the wiring is pretty simple.

See the drawing on a sticker inside the heater cabinet.

Or ask a specific question.

Watch out: if you're not trained in safe electrical wiring you could be shocked or killed or start a fire. Get help from an expert.

Isn't it incredible that Lennox makes it impossible to find a telephone number or email to contact the company to ask even the most simple question?

We are left with following what Lennox wants us to do: contact your local Lennox supplier, as for technical support, and hope.
