Carrier
introduced the world to modern-day air conditioning and continues to explore
newer and better systems for indoor comfort. The 48JZ packaged dual
fuel heat pump is one more example of why we have maintained our position
at the forefront of this industry. This
packaged system delivers the warm, winter comfort of gas heating; the efficiency
of an electric heat pump for both cooling and mild weather heating; and,
the superior reliability, environmentally sound performance and future savings
associated with Puron® refrigerant.
The
48JZ combines the electric cooling and heating of a heat pump with the comfort
of a gas furnace for harsher conditions. Heat pump systems are excellent
for energy-efficient, year-round comfort, but typically rely on an electric
auxiliary heat source when the outdoor temperature gets really cold. By
using the heat pump as the heating source for cool weather and switching
to the gas furnace as the temperature drops, a dual fuel system can take
advantage of the efficiencies offered by each system. Just select the desired
indoor temperature on our special dual fuel thermostat, and the system automatically
switches to the most effective and efficient source for indoor comfort.
For even greater comfort, energy savings and quieter operation, ask your
dealer about upgrading to our variable speed, ComfortHeatTM
option with a ThermidistatTM Control.
The 48JZ offers environmentally sound operation that's economically sound
as well. Delivering cool comfort with efficiency ratings of 12 SEER
(Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and electric heating up to 7.2 HSPF (Heating
Seasonal Performance Factor), the 48JZ easily provides better economy than
older heat pump models and many new ones as well. Probably the single most
important factor in that economy is the scroll compressor which is designed
specifically for use with Puron refrigerant. During the colder months when
gas heating takes over, Carrier's 48JZ operates at up to 81.1% AFUE (Annual
Fuel Utilization Efficiency). The Turbo-TubularTM
heat exchanger helps achieve that heating efficiency by allowing hot gases
to make multiple passes across the path of the indoor air.
In 1996, Carrier became the first to offer residential cooling systems
with environmentally sound Puron®.
We were also the first to offer packaged comfort systems with the industry-accepted
replacement for Freon®-22*.
The 48JZ is the latest addition to our growing family of highly reliable
Puron products, so you can be confident that it will provide comfort you
can depend on. No other manufacturer can offer the same level of expertise
with environmentally sound heating and cooling products.
Built-in reliability safeguards include high and low pressure switches,
which protect the smooth operating compressor from damage associated with
operating outside of normal pressure ranges. A filter drier helps
rid the heat pump system of moisture and debris, which can affect performance.
Finally, Carrier runs the most thorough reliability testing in the industry
that begins with product design and continues with assembly line testing
of the completed products.
Built to withstand the extremes of an outdoor installation, the
48JZ provides lasting indoor comfort. The rugged, rust-proof base is
made from a Carrier exclusive, high-tech composite material. It's an extra-durable
foundation that helps eliminate rust-related deterioration of the unit and
the surface it is installed on. This is especially important for rooftop
installations. Inside the cabinet, corrosion-resistant components made of
materials such as copper and aluminum provide additional durability for
years of heating and cooling comfort.
We
pay attention to the details so you can pay attention to the comfort.
Air discharge through the top of the unit protects surrounding flowers
and shrubs on a ground installation. A sloped drain integrated into the
base assures proper drainage and better indoor air quality by minimizing
the growth of algae, bacteria and mold. And, built-in mountings accommodate
both rooftop and ground installations for maximum versatility. Energy
efficient, environmentally sound and highly reliable, the 48JZ dual fuel
heat pump is an excellent choice for all the right reasons.
Carrier's 48JZ packaged dual fuel heat pump uses environmentally sound
Puron® refrigerant to deliver soothing
comfort all year long. In response to the global concern surrounding
ozone depletion caused by HCFCs, the Clean Air Act of 1990 declared that
refrigerants containing HCFCs must be phased out of use and replaced by
another, safer refrigerant. One of the refrigerants scheduled for eventual
phase-out, Freon®-22*, is
the most commonly used refrigerant in most of today's air conditioners
and heat pumps. Puron is the indoor comfort industry's universally accepted
replacement for Freon-22, and Carrier has been at the forefront of designing,
testing and installing heating and cooling equipment that uses this environmentally
sound refrigerant.
* Freon is a registered trademark of E. I. Dupont de Nemours &
Co.
Not only is Puron refrigerant environmentally sound, it also helps
the 48JZ deliver indoor comfort with money-saving efficiency.The
same formulation that makes Puron environmentally sound also produces superior
heat transfer capabilities, a vital part of the 48JZ electric heating and
cooling system. In fact, the 48JZ offers energy efficiency that easily surpasses
the performance of older packaged heat pumps and many new models as well.
Installing the 48JZ with Puron refrigerant today can help you avoid
the potentially skyrocketing costs for servicing a unit that uses Freon-22.
It's a fact that Freon-22 will become obsolete. Ask anybody associated
with the auto industry what happened when Freon-12 was phased out and
they will tell you that the cost of servicing cars using that refrigerant
rose exponentially. That same scenario could easily happen with Freon-22
in heat pump systems. By choosing the 48JZ with Puron refrigerant, you'll
enjoy savings right away with efficient operation while avoiding potentially
higher service costs in the future.
Since 1902, Carrier has been America's established leader in creating
indoor weather systems of superior value, reliability and comfort. Today,
Carrier's scientists, engineers, and dealers continue to provide the most
advanced comfort systems available. This technological advantage has enabled
Carrier to design, install and maintain customized indoor comfort systems
to fit the precise needs of individuals just like you. Ask your Carrier
dealer how you can customize your comfort with a Carrier system today.
Always look for these symbols, the heat pump industry
seals of certified performance, efficiency and capacity.
