It may run. But not efficiently or to capacity as there will probably not be enough air flow.You also run the risk of ruining the compressor by flooding it, as residential a/c units are notorious for not having hi and low pressure cut-out switches.

Will a 4 ton condenser unit work with a 3 ton furnace?

not very well. a 4 ton system needs about 1600 cfm to provide it's full capacity of cooling. a 3 ton furnace puts out about 1200 cfm. in addition, the evap coil typically attached to the furnace needs to match the tonnage of the outdoor unit. so, the evap coil must be 4 tons. If you currently have a 3 ton furnace and evap coil, the system will not work, and you will most likely ruin the compressor in the outdoor unit.


Have a 5 ton condenser with a 5 ton coil have a 3 ton drive furnace any way this will work or will you have to get a 5 ton drive furnace?

You may be able to turn up the blower speed but you will probably still not get the appropriate cfm. You may be able to swap out the blower but you may run into problems with fitting the new one in place or the proper sizing of the return and supply duct work.


Can you match 3.5 ton condenser with 3 ton air handler?

You can not do that. If it where the opposite it would work . But you will frezze up with this matchup.


5 ton condenser with a 3 ton drive furnace is there any way to fix this without replacing the furnace with a 5 ton drive?

No easy answer with the information given. You might be able to increase the blower speed but that probable wont get you enough air anyways. You might be able change the blower depending on your furnace. Depending on the evaporator coil 3 or 5 ton you either wont remove the proper amount of moisture from the air(the biggest part of what makes you feel cool) or there will not be enough air blowing over the coil and it will freeze up. Technically could put a freeze switch to turn of the condenser. Most likely you will wear out the condenser quicker then it should.


Can you install a 3.5 ton condenser on a 3 ton evaporator?

Installing a 3 1/2 ton condenser on a 3 tr evaporator will not function properly. There isn't enough evaporator coil surface area to absorb heat and vaporize refrigerant liquid for its return back to the condenser compressor. What can be done is a 3 ton condenser unit with a 3 1/2 evaporator coil.


Can a 3 ton coil work with a 2 ton condenser?

Yes it will. Typically a coil is sized a 1/2 ton larger than the a/c out side for efficiency, but a whole ton bigger should still work


What size furnace would go with a 2.5 ton air conditioner?

Usually a 3 ton - 70,000btu furnace.


Can 3 ton a coil work with a 2 ton condenser?

Yes it will. Typically a coil is sized a 1/2 ton larger than the a/c out side for efficiency, but a whole ton bigger should still work


Can a 5 ton coil and furnace work with a 3 ton compresser?

No, it is not recommended to pair a 5 ton coil and furnace with a 3 ton compressor. The sizes need to be compatible for the system to operate efficiently and effectively. Mismatched components can lead to performance issues and potential damage to the system.


What is the capacity of a Goodman ck36-18 condenser unit?

3 TON


Will a 3ton coil work on a 3.5ton condenser?

It is not recommended to pair a 3-ton coil with a 3.5-ton condenser. Mismatched components can lead to decreased efficiency, poor performance, and potentially even damage to the system. It is best to use matching components for optimal operation.
