Help decode this model number
A good friend just bought a repo house and the previous owners took the condensing unit.
It's a triple wide trailer house that has a Nordyne electric air handler.
air handler numbers
model-- B3BV-000K-B-15B
serial-- B3D050512982
there's another number on the nameplate
903517B
Where's the cooling btu's?

B3BV is vertical only model, the 000 should be the airflow not 000. Say 036, 042 etc. K is 208/230/1, B is width of 19.25" and 15 is kw. Did not see anywhere that 000 is possible.

Thanks for the reply. It had the model number on it in 2 seperate places and they both read the same- 000. I don't get it....

Better call a Nordyne supplier. I looked through the spec sheet again and didn't find a 000.
The B width cabinets were used in 2.5 through 4 ton air handlers. If there's a piston size sticker on it, that would tell.

It would be very unusual for the model number to be botched in two different places. Not that it couldn't happen. Originally Posted by joey83

Get a magnifying glass. I carry one in my pocket on every call. I can't can't remember how
many times i eyeballed a model number and got it wrong when i called in for a part. I would always miss one digit 'til I doubled checked with my magnifying glass.

It either has, or will happen to everyone, at some time or another. Originally Posted by hvaclover

I've messed up on model numbers before. Especially on something like this Nordyne that I don't work on much. BUT, I finally found out that the 000 in the model means that it was assembled with no indoor coil. Found a number on the coil finally.
C3QA-055U-B
917229A
which looks to be a high eff. 4 ton evap coil.

He was right this time, but, it really isn't anything to be ashamed of when it's time for a pair of reading glasses. I hit 50 before I had to. Originally Posted by knothole
