Guarding Your Investment

The Model 286BNC CoastGuard™ Two-Stage Heat Pump with Puron®

refrigerant is designed to stand up to the elements longer than stan-dard models. It takes advantage of a three-pronged approach todefending against corrosion: The DuraGuard Plus™ protection package,double-sided paint, and TuffCoat™ coils.

DuraGuard Plus™ Protection PackageIncluded as part of all Evolution® System outdoor models,DuraGuard Plus includes a galvanized steel cabinet, louvered coil guard and baked-on powder paint for superior rust and corrosionprotection that keeps your outdoor unit looking its best for years.

Double-Sided PaintBryant CoastGuard units feature double-sided paint on all externalsurfaces. By painting both sides of exposed metal surfaces, we eliminate entry points for corrosive elements to help extend thelife of the unit. It’s a small detail, but it’s also one more reason aCoastGuard unit is great for coastal installations.

TuffCoat™ CoilThe Bryant TuffCoat™ coil features our exclusive coastal fins with a corrosive-resistant epoxy-phenolic thermoset coating. We havealso eliminated the “lancing” (strategically placed slits) found onstandard aluminum fins. In coastal areas, lanced fins can trapcontaminants and encourage corrosion. Air conditioners and heatpumps using TuffCoat coils deliver the same comfort and energyefficiency as units with our standard coils.

Salt-Water Tested, Proven PerformanceBryant quality and reliability testing exceed industry standards,and the CoastGuard model is no exception. These products areinstalled in a testing lab, are exposed to a salt-water fog for onehour, and then allowed to dry for one hour. This wet-to-drycycling is an accurate representation of sea coast applications.We also force a salt spray of synthetic sea water through thecoil to further duplicate realistic coastal conditions. The resultof this extensive testing has shown that Bryant TuffCoat coilscan last longer than standard coils. Bryant is so confident inthe reliability of this unit that we are offering 5 years ofseacoast corrosion coverage.When you put it all together, the Model 286BNC CoastGuard™

Two-Stage Heat Pump with Puron® refrigerant delivers the comfort you need with the lasting durability you deserve.

HEATSHEATS COOLSCOOLS

Feeling Good About Feeling Comfortable

When installed with the optional Evolution® Control and a compatibleindoor unit, the Model 286BNC manages your comfort better than standardsingle-stage heat pumps. The key is its two-stages of operation. Most of thetime, this unit operates on low-stage to deliver a nearly continuous stream of comfortable air. Low-stage operation is typically quieter and uses lessenergy than high-stage. Because air flows at a steady rate for longer periodsof time, there are fewer up-and-down temperature swings, fewer hot and

cold spots throughout your home and improved air filtration. When condi-tions require an extra boost to maintain your comfort, the Evolution Control signals the Model 286BNC to switch over to high-stage operation and youwill continue to enjoy the comfort.As part of this remarkable system, Perfect Humidity® technology improves

your comfort during the cooling season by providing increased humidity control over standard systems.
