surfaces utilized in Carrier’s 38TXA
design allow heat to easily be transferred
to the outdoor air and requires less energy.
The unique scroll compressor found in the
38TXA design performs quietly and adds
to the overall efficiency of the system.
Finally Carrier’s unique Puron®
refrigerant operates more efficiently than
ordinary R-22 refrigerant found in other
systems. The efficiency levels provided by
the 38TXA provide end users with lower
costs of operation than traditional air
conditioning systems.
Assured Future Service
— By utilizing
the environmentally sound refrigerant,
Puron®, 38TXA models will remain
serviceable well into the future. The Clean
Air Act of 1990 has placed a cap on
production of most other refrigerants
which has scheduled reductions
beginning in 2004. The resulting cap in
production ultimately results in a
complete ban on many other refrigerants
in new equipment by the year 2010. These
changes, required by federal law, mean
the supply of other refrigerants may be
limited in the near future making Puron®
the correct choice when considering long
term serviceability.
Highly Reliable Performance
— Is
delivered through the superior design of
the system and componentry. The
reliability of the 38TXA models has been
proven to provide the lowest incidence of
warranty service of any product in the
Carrier family in its past 3 years of
service. Long term reliability is assured
through the use of both high and low
pressure switches which will not allow the
system to operate in the event of a
significant change in operating pressure.
In doing this, the system is protected from
damage if an unusual condition arises.
Finally, Carrier includes a special liquid
line filter drier designed to trap moisture
and contaminants which could otherwise
shorten the life of the system.
Carrier’s Silencer System
— Is one of
the most sought after features of the
38TXA family. Extremely low operating
sound is the result of special attention to
the air moving through the outdoor unit, a
specially designed sound enclosure
surrounding the compressor, and an
exclusive laminated plate beneath the
compressor to eliminate sound
transmission to the rest of the system.
Application Versatility
— Carrier’s
systems utilizing Puron® refrigerant have
the same application guidelines as other
systems. Applications which include long
line sets (50 to 175 ft) or applications
which require the system to operate at low
outdoor temperatures (below 55°F) are
approved under Carrier’s standard
guidelines.
Carrier Coils and Fan Coils to
Complete the System
— Carrier
specially designs both the outdoor
product and indoor coil products to
operate with assured reliability and
performance. A wide range of indoor coil
options are listed in the ratings section of
this publication.
Special Protective Devices
— High and
low pressure switches and internal
protection in the compressor including
temperature and current sensing
overloads prevent operation under
potentially damaging circumstances. A
special liquid line filter drier designed to
trap nearly 4 times the volume of
contaminants of standard driers provides
superior protection from moisture trapped
in the system.
Electrical Range
— 208/230 volt,
single phase only.
Wide Range of Sizes
— Available in six
sizes 2, 2-1/2, 3, 3-1/2, 4 and 5 tons.
Totally Enclosed Fan Motor
—
Protected from adverse weather
conditions.
Unit Design
— Enhanced copper and
aluminum heat transfer surfaces with
vertical air discharge to direct air up and
away from the area.
External Service Valves
— Both
service valves are back seating type valves
which are externally located. These
unique valves allow service technicians to
evacuate or charge the system in less time
than standard service valves.
Easy Serviceability
— Removal of one
panel provides access to both electrical
and refrigerant carrying components
simplifying installation and service.
Agency Approvals
— 38TXA models
are listed with UL, c-UL, ARI, CEC, and
CSA-EEV. Special endorsements have
also been awarded these products by
Green Seal an independent organization
monitoring environmental concerns and
Energy Star® which recognizes energy
efficient products.
Limited Warranty
— A standard one
year warranty on parts with extended
warranty coverage on the compressor for
a total of 10 years. Optional warranties are
available through your Carrier distributor.
