Carrier 38TDB UP TO 14.9 SEER

Technology

ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND
 
Puron refrigerant delivers cool comfort without harming the earth's ozone layer.

FUTURE COST OF SERVICE SAVINGS
   
Puron refrigerant in your cooling system will help you avoid the potentially high costs of maintaining products using FreonÒ* 22. (*Freon is a registered trademark of E>I> Dupont de Nemours & Co.)

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

1. Two-speed compressor designed specifically for use with  Puron refrigerant operates with extra energy efficiency.

2. Copper tube/aluminum fin coil maximizes heat transfer needed for indoorcooling and resists corrosion for years of money-saving comfort. Puron refrigerant provides higher efficiency heat transfer than Freon 22 for money-saving cooling.

EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET OPERATION

3. Silencer System top allows air to glide smoothly through the system.

4. Highly efficient fan designed to quietly move outdoor air at lower speeds.

5. Deluxe compressor sound hood absorbs compressor sound.

6. Compressor vibration isolator plate, a Carrier exclusive, prevents vibrational noise from being transferred to the base pan.

SUPERIOR RELIABILITY
  
7. High and low pressure switches prevent the system from damage if a harmful condition is detected.

8. Filter drier constantly filters the refrigerant to remove moisture or other contaminants that can harm your air conditioner.  

9. Electronic circuit board allows precise control over low- and high-speed capacity operation.

Reliable Operation

Make the most of your comfort investment by choosing a product designed to last well into the future. With Puron refrigerant, this air conditioner should last well beyond the practical usefulness of most standard, Freon-R22* systems. In addition, every Carrier product benefits from years of experience with product reliability and customer satisfaction. This air conditioner continues that tradition, built with the most durable, high-performance components available.

The high-efficiency, two-speed compressor is designed for lasting performance and protected by high and low pressure switches. The electronic control board includes special protection features to ensure long-lasting operation. And, the copper tube/aluminum fin coil efficiently transfers heat out of your home while resisting corrosion. From initial design to final assembly, thorough reliability testing ensures that every Carrier unit we make will pass the toughest test of all: your comfort.

Durability

Carrier knows how to build products that withstand the rigors of an outdoor installation, starting with our WeatherArmor^TM III protection system. Designed specifically to keep your air conditioner safe from corrosion and damage, this system offers three points of protection. First, the unit is surrounded by a protective cabinet made of heavy, galvanized steel. Then, we assemble the cabinet with ceramic-coated screws for corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability. Finally, we protect the outdoor coil with a heavy-duty wire guard, which prevents potentially damaging objects such as hail, debris, sticks and lawn equipment from reaching the outdoor coil. The WeatherMaker Two-Speed with Puron refrigerant delivers the ultimate in environmentally sound comfort, energy savings and lasting performance. It's exactly what you'd expect from Carrier, the leader in the indoor weather industry.

Ultimate Comfort

The Carrier WeatherMaker Two-Speed with Puron refrigerant is like two air conditioners in one - a high-speed model for the really hot, sticky days of summer and a low-speed unit for every day cooling. This remarkable air conditioner operates at low speed up to 75% to 80% of the time to maintain even, consistent temperatures throughout your home. The longer operating cycles create a more continuous flow of cool, conditioned air while providing an extra level of comfort with greater humidity control. When additional cooling is required, the system automatically switches to high-speed operation to maintain your comfort.

Superior Efficiency

Two-speed technology allows you to fully enjoy the ultimate in cooling comfort with exceptional energy efficiency. The WeatherMaker Two-Speed with Puron refrigerant can keep you cool all summer long while achieving up to 18.0 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) efficiency. That economy of operation has earned the EPA's Energy Star seal for high efficiency performance.

All of this comfort and efficiency is the result of Carrier's two-speed technology. One of the keys is our two-speed compressor, which operates at low speed for normal cooling requirements and high speed for more demanding conditions. To make the system work seamlessly, our control board monitors system operation and automatically adjusts the system to deliver the best possible combination of comfort and energy savings. Just set the thermostat to your desired temperature and relax with money-saving comfort

The WeatherMaker Two-Speed with Puron refrigerant will save homeowners now with extra-high efficiency and in the future by avoiding the potentially high costs for servicing units with Freon-22. Historically, when a refrigerant has been phased out (for example, R-12 used in automobile air conditioners) the costs of servicing products using that refrigerant have risen dramatically. By choosing a new Carrier system with Puron refrigerant, you begin saving money right away and avoid the potentially higher service costs later.
