Carrier's
38TSA delivers outstanding cooling comfort with a clear conscience now
and well into the future. Back in 1902, when Willis Carrier invented
air conditioning, controlling your indoor air meant simply maintaining
a comfortable temperature inside. Now, it's complicated. Energy efficiency,
reliability, environmental impact, quietness of operation and future service
costs are important considerations. As homeowner needs and government
regulations have changed, Carrier has been at the forefront of the industry.
By continuously providing innovative products that meet or exceed consumer
expectations and by operating within the growing list of regulatory requirements,
Carrier has become the world's most trusted source for superior indoor
comfort.
Enjoy
cool, summer comfort and electrical savings while helping preserve the
earth's ozone layer. Puron®
refrigerant is a more energy efficient refrigerant than Freon®-22*,
and with the 38TSA, that means efficiency ratings up to 15.5 SEER
(Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). This air conditioner easily surpasses
the efficiency of a typical, older air conditioner you may be replacing
as well as many new models. That means you can enjoy cool, comfortable
summers while saving money on your electric bill. At the same time, the
38TSA does its part to eliminate depletion of the ozone layer through
the use of Puron refrigerant. That will become more and more important
in the future since the refrigerant used in most current cooling systems,
Freon®-22, is in the process of
being phased out by the federal government.
Carrier has been at the forefront in the effort to develop products that
use Puron refrigerant, giving us clear advantages in reliability, performance
and future cost of service issues. Carrier was the first company to
offer a long-term replacement for Freon®-22
as far back as 1994. That experience, coupled with our existing knowledge
of indoor technology, has allowed us to develop a new air conditioner
family that is Carrier's most reliable and quietest operating product
line currently available. Designed, built and backed by the most respected
name in the comfort industry, the 38TSA air conditioner delivers custom
made indoor air for the future.
At Carrier, we understand that it's hard to relax with a noisy air
conditioner, so we take several steps to ensure the 38TSA is the industry's
quietest air conditioner. Carrier's exclusive Silencer System ensures
extra-quiet cooling. The Silencer System includes four main elements:
the Silencer System top, a low-speed fan motor with large-diameter fan
blades, a compressor vibration isolator plate and a sound hood. The Silencer
System top is designed to allow smooth, easy airflow into and out of the
outdoor unit to minimize noise associated with turbulent air. This new
top design allows us to utilize the low-speed fan motor with large-diameter
fan blades, which is quieter and more energy efficient than a high-speed
model. The compressor vibration isolator plate is made of a special, vibration-absorbing
material surrounded by two metal plates. It's mounted underneath the compressor
and absorbs vibrational noise created through compressor operation. The
sound hood is designed of sound-absorbing materials which blanket the
compressor to add a final touch to the noise reduction system.
A byproduct of this Silencer System is greater operational efficiency.
Because the Silencer System greatly improves airflow through the outdoor
coil section, your air conditioning system doesn't work as hard as other
competitive systems. As a result, the 38TSA delivers soothing indoor comfort
with money-saving energy efficiency. And, because the system is more efficient,
the coil can be made smaller to take up less of your valuable garden space.
Carrier
maintains the industry's toughest reliability testing standards to be
sure that every product we make will provide trusted indoor weather performance.
Every step of the development process has reliability testing built in.
In fact, Carrier designs and tests the 38TSA for applications up to 125°.
That's a full 10° higher than the industry standard requirements.
During the design phase, hand-built prototypes are tested for potential
performance issues. Test stations on the production line provide quality
control during assembly. Then, each product is run-tested by a bank of
computers that monitors all vital functions to ensure the performance
will meet your expectations.
Carrier's
WeatherArmor™ III protection package keeps the 38TSA looking and
operating at its best for years to come. Throughout this long history,
we have improved our designs and materials to ensure that they stand up
to the abuse of the great outdoors while delivering lasting, reliable
indoor comfort. Our WeatherArmor™ III system combines three design
elements that protect your comfort. First, a galvanized steel cabinet
protects the outdoor unit from inclement weather and scratches. A heavy-duty,
12-gauge wire grid prevents coil damage from harsh weather, lawn tools
and sporting equipment and ceramic-coated screws provide extra protection
from rust, corrosion and the abuse that comes from continuous exposure
to the outdoors.
By combining our knowledge of indoor technology with new innovations
and designs, Carrier remains at the forefront of the industry.According
to the Clean Air Act of 1990, Freon®-22*
and other harmful refrigerants will be phased out of use and homeowners
will soon have to turn to Puron®
refrigerant to maintain their indoor comfort. That's why Carrier has been
designing and testing heating and cooling equipment that uses Puron, the
refrigerant approved by the EPA to replace Freon®-22.
In fact, Carrier has been offering Puron-based systems like the 38TSA
since 1996, developing a complete line of products using the world's first,
long-term solution to ozone depletion. Environmentally sound, economically
sound and extremely reliable, Carrier's 38TSA air conditioner with Puron
refrigerant provides the comfort you expect from an industry leader like
Carrier.
The 38TSA allows homeowners to avoid the potentially sky-rocketing costs
for servicing units with Freon®-22.
In the past, when a refrigerant has been phased out, the costs of servicing
products using that refrigerant have risen dramatically. It happened in
the automobile industry with Freon®-12,
and it could easily happen with Freon®-22.
By choosing the 38TSA with Puron refrigerant, you begin saving money right
away and avoid the potentially higher service costs later.
Carrier products have always delivered excellent reliability, and these
new products with Puron® refrigerant
improve on that record. In fact, our Puron-based air conditioners have
gained recognition nationwide for dependable operation.
Always look for these symbols, the air conditioning industry
seals of certified performance, efficiency and capacity.
