Goodman - 2 Ton - 21" Width Upflow/Downflow Cased Evaporator Coil TXV - R32 - CAPTA2422C3

Goodman - 2 Ton - 21" Width Upflow/Downflow Cased Evaporator Coil TXV - R32 - CAPTA2422C3

An AC or heat pump system is only as good as its evaporator coil. The Goodman CAPTA evaporator coils are designed with this simple thought in mind for its longevity, accessibility, and value as their other heating and cooling equipment. The advanced design and all-aluminum constriction of this coil improves its durability and heat transfer efficiency. The CAPTA series are cased A-Coils for use in Upflow/Downflow applications. These units include an internal TXV (thermostatic expansion valve), which is perfect for high-performance systems. Goodman pressure tests each coil twice prior to it leaving the factory. Whether you are replacing an old failing coil or installing a new system, you can choose Goodman's CAPTA units with confidence.

Features

• All-Aluminum Coil: Goodman's evaporator coils maximize surface area and optimize heat transfer for efficient comfort by using a reliable all-aluminum design complete with sine fins and grooved tubes.
• Internal Thermostatic Expansion Valve: Goodman's CAPTA units have a factory-installed internal thermostatic expansion valve, which streamlines installation and maintains ideal refrigerant flow for your system.
• Cabinet Durability: Providing superior longevity and efficiency, CAPTA units have a galvanized, embossed, and insulated cabinet that protects the coil and prevents air leakage.
• Condensate Management: Keeping your system sage and operational, the CAPTA units feature a foil-faced insulation to inhibit the formation of condensate and a rust-resistant, DecaBDE-free thermoplastic drain pan secondary drain connections. The drain pan is UV-resistant.
• R32 Compatibility: Complies with Clean Air Act New Refrigerant Requirements.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace Air Filters Every 1–3 Months – Clean filters ensure proper airflow across the all‑aluminum coil, improving cooling efficiency and preventing coil icing.

• Clean the Coil Annually – Dust and debris on coil fins reduce heat transfer; schedule professional cleaning to maintain SEER2 performance. (hvacstore.com)

• Inspect Condensate Drain & Pan – Keep the drain pan and line clear to prevent leaks and microbial growth.

• Check TXV Operation – The thermostatic expansion valve regulates refrigerant flow; periodic inspection ensures proper superheat and cooling efficiency.

• Maintain Unobstructed Airflow – Keep supply and return vents clear for optimal upflow or downflow operation.

• Inspect Cabinet & Insulation – Check the galvanized, insulated cabinet annually for moisture, corrosion, or damage.

• Schedule Annual HVAC Service – Professional maintenance helps detect refrigerant issues, clean internal components, and maintain peak system performance.
