Rheem RSMA Air Conditioner Overview

Although discontinued in 2005, the Rheem RSMA is a self-contained air conditioning system offering up to 12 SEER. Ranging in capacity from 1.5 to 4 ton units, this series is available in nine different models. All models have side or down air discharge options.

This series features a Copeland scroll compressor, condenser and evaporator coils with enhanced fins and copper tubing, and a system-matched coil for increased efficiency and cooling capabilities. The unit also is equipped with a one-piece top with a drop lip and weeps holes on the access panels to help manage water run-off.

Additional components of this series include a louvered condenser compartment to protect the coils from environmental hazards, as well as easily accessible control box and refrigerant connections that contribute to the unit’s simple maintenance and diagnostics. Supplemental electric heat strips up to 15 kW also are available for areas with extreme cold temperatures.
