Add the benefit of our second generation of Makeup Air
to the industry’s most trusted PTAC, with GE Zoneline®
Makeup Air. Factory-installed and tested, the Makeup Air
module is an independent secondary system that provides
outdoor air continuously.
FEATURES
• Dedicated fans in the Makeup Air system that are
adjustable to 6 pre-set fan speeds from 25 to 50 CFM.
• Provides outdoor air anytime the unit is plugged into the
power source (even if unit is turned off).
• Dehumidifies incoming outdoor air when OD humidity
is greater than 55% RH and above 50° F.
• Dehumidifies at a rate of 5 -6 pints/24 hours.
• Pairs with an approved occupancy sensing system
to shut off Makeup Air and close the duct door when
the room is unoccupied (if desired).
• Modular/Reliable design for improved serviceability.
• Factory installed and tested.
• GE Zoneline with Makeup Air is covered by the same
warranty as our Zoneline.
• Approved by leading hotel brands.
• Optional MERV 13 Makeup Air Filter kit available (RAK13)
The GE Zoneline Makeup Air system provides an option to
standard building ventilation designs.
With dedicated fans in the Makeup Air system (adjustable
to 6 pre-set fan speeds), the Makeup Air Zoneline can
provide positive pressure Makeup Air for those projects
looking for alternatives to having a rooftop system ducted
to each individual room.
The main system provides the standard individual room
zone control in both cooling and heating applications. The
Makeup Air module is a secondary sealed system with
dedicated fans that offers 6 pre-set fan speeds (25-50
CFM) of continuous dehumidified Makeup Air.
DOOR VENT & OCCUPANCY SENSING
Zoneline Makeup Air features a motorized vent door.
When paired with an approved occupancy system and
the room is unoccupied, the vent door will close, and the
Makeup Air system will shut down.
This design saves energy and money by running
the makeup system only when needed, while allowing
the PTAC system to operate independently.
AGENCY LISTING
Both the Makeup Air Module & Zoneline system are
approved by UL, CEC, NRCAN & AHRI and comply
with ASHRAE 90.1-2013 minimum efficiency
requirements for PTACs.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
• Makeup Air systems are not recommended for installation
within 1-2 miles of coastal areas.
- Units are not corrosion protected
- To avoid bringing corrosive air into the living space
• The Makeup Air Module will increase room load
requirements for both heating and cooling.
- Consult with your architect or engineer to ensure proper
sizing of the PTAC/PTHP unit to accommodate this
additional load.
- Due to the additional heating and cooling load,
energy costs of the room will increase with the use
of Makeup Air.
- Because Makeup Air increases room BTU load
requirements and requires additional PTAC cooling
or heating, the building’s electrical needs may
be impacted.
• Remote thermostats should be used with Makeup Air
models.
• With the additional dehumidification of outside air, more
condensate will be generated and therefore an internal
or external piped drain line is recommended.
• Total building air design should be considered with
Makeup Air PTAC’s/PTHP’s and especially with occupancy
sensing thermostats and the ability to turn off the Makeup
Air and close the vent door when the room is unoccupied.
• With the additional pathway/opening for outside air,
additional consideration should be used for areas with
high exterior noise (traffic, airports, etc.) to not
unintentionally bring noise into the room and disturb
the guest.
• It is the architects’/engineers’/contractors’ /customers’
responsibility to verify all state and local codes to ensure
product meets local code requirements.
NOTE : Makeup Air models should not be used with
ducted installations.
