Goodman - 2.5 Ton - 21" Width Upflow/Downflow Cased Evaporator Coil TXV - R32 - CAPTA3022C3
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 or clean air filters every 1–3 months to maintain airflow and efficiency.
-
Keep the area around the evaporator coil clear of dust, debris, and obstructions.
-
Inspect coil fins and surfaces periodically; clean gently to prevent dirt buildup that reduces efficiency.
-
Ensure the drain pan and condensate drain line are clear to prevent clogs and water damage.
-
Check refrigerant lines and insulation for damage or leaks.
-
Verify TXV (Thermostatic Expansion Valve) operation for proper refrigerant flow.
-
Maintain 2–3 feet of clearance around the unit for proper airflow and service access.
-
Listen for unusual noises such as rattling or hissing that may indicate mechanical issues.
-
Ensure thermostat is working properly and calibrated.
-
Schedule annual professional HVAC inspection to clean coils, check refrigerant, and verify overall system performance.
