Description
The Rheem AE-59067-01 is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Divider Plate designed for use within Rheem, Ruud, and authorized air handler or evaporator coil assemblies. This component plays a vital role in ensuring the efficient and proper distribution of air across the evaporator coil. In split-system air conditioning or heat pump setups, the divider plate is installed inside the cabinet to separate the incoming return air stream from the cooling coil section.
Proper installation of the divider plate is essential for maximizing the system’s sensible and latent cooling capacity. It prevents air from bypassing the evaporator coil, forcing all airflow to pass through the coil fins for optimal heat exchange and dehumidification. A missing or damaged divider plate can lead to poor cooling performance, increased energy consumption, and inconsistent temperature control throughout the conditioned space. Replacing this part ensures your HVAC system maintains its factory-rated efficiency.
Key Features:
- Airflow Optimization: Designed to seal off bypass areas within the air handler or coil cabinet, ensuring maximum airflow passes directly over the evaporator coil.
- OEM Fit: Guaranteed to match the dimensions and mounting points of the original component for seamless replacement and restoration of factory performance.
- Efficiency Maintenance: Crucial for achieving the rated SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) of the unit by preventing air leakage.
- Durable Construction: Made from materials that withstand the temperatures and moisture levels common within an air conditioning system environment.
