THE ZONELINE AZ45 AND AZ65 SERIES have changes suggested by customers and enhancements from
GE Appliances Engineering to make product improvements and meet the changing environment.
• Quieter Operation
• Ease of access—fewer screws and number of parts
• Make up air module
• Cross-flow blower across the product line for quieter operation
See the “Features and Benefits” section for in-depth explanation of these changes and the industry-leading features
of GE Appliances Zoneline retained from previous series.
THE ZONELINE AZ45 SERIES INCLUDES “DRY AIR 25" MODELS, WHICH REMOVE 20-35%
MORE MOISTURE THAN OTHER ZONELINE MODELS*.
DRY AIR 25 MODELS COOLING WITH
RESISTANCE HEAT

—No special maintenance required
• Helps maintain lower relative humidity in rooms
• Maintains comfort at slightly higher room temperatures
—Reduces operating costs
—Provides comfort without overcooling
• Corrosion treatment is standard
• Excellent choice for humid climates
• Available in 7,000, 9,000 and 12,000 BTU sizes
The Dry Air 25 system, a heat pipe, is a hermetically sealed
heat transfer surface installed in a “saddlebag” configuration
around the indoor (evaporator) coil of the Zoneline unit. This
coil arrangement will transfer heat from the front coil of the
saddlebag to the rear coil without power consumption.
This assembly uses R-410A as the refrigerant and is not
connected to the regular Zoneline refrigerant circuit.
As warm, humid air is pulled through the front (pre-
cool) section of the heat pipe, the heat removed from
the air is absorbed by the refrigerant, causing the
refrigerant to change to a gas and flow to the rear (re-
heat) section of the heat pipe. The air leaving the pre-
cool section of the heat pipe is cooler and at a higher
relative humidity level than the room air. The pre-cooled
air is further cooled as it passes through the evaporator,
consequently allowing the evaporator coil to remove
more moisture.
When the cold air from the evaporator comes in contact
with the re-heat section of the heat pipe, the heat that
was removed by the pre-cool section is added back to
the air and the refrigerant in the heat pipe condenses
and flows back to the pre-cool (front) section. The air
discharged into the room by this process is much drier,
creating a more comfortable room condition.
The Dry Air 25 models center around GE Appliance’s
heat pipe technology. This technology enables Dry Air
25 to remove 20-35% more moisture from the air than
other leading manufacturers’ packaged terminal air
conditioners. This helps maintain room comfort at a
higher room temperature, reducing operating costs.
The Dry Air 25 keeps a room cool and dry, and this is the
most important benefit when it comes to the occupant
of the room—hotel guests, apartment residents,
students. In a hot, humid climate, getting away from
the humidity is just as important as getting away from
the heat, and the Dry Air 25 is the perfect solution. The
dehumidification of the Dry Air 25 has been verified by
the same AHRI test conditions under which standard
units are rated.
Specifications subject to change.
* Varies when comparing dehumidification rates of the 7,000/9,000/12,000 BTU base
models to their Dry Air model counterparts.
