Carrier
blends the past, present and future with the 38TPA, an air
conditioner that combines old-fashioned value
with the refrigerant developed to meet changing environmental
demands. It's nothing new, really. Since 1902, Carrier has
routinely set the standards for comfort, quality and innovation.
Now, as the demand for indoor comfort products grows beyond simple
comfort control to include environmental soundness, we continue to
provide industry leadership with products like the 38TPA.
Governmental and environmental requirements change, but homeowners
will always demand comfort, energy efficiency and reliability.
Carrier has earned its reputation as the world's most trusted
source for superior indoor comfort by continuously meeting or
exceeding consumer expectations. |

Enjoy
cool, summer comfort and electrical savings while helping preserve
the earth's ozone layer. The 38TPA will keep you cool while
achieving an efficiency rating of 11.0 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, this model does its part to help protect
the ozone layer through the use of Puron®
refrigerant. That will become more and more important in the
future as the refrigerant used in most current cooling systems,
Freon®-22*, is in the process
of being phased out by the federal government.

& Co.

Carrier has been at the forefront of 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 weather technology has allowed us to develop a
new air conditioner family that is the most reliable and quietest
operating Carrier product line currently available. Designed,
built and backed by the most respected name in the comfort
industry, the 38TPA air conditioner delivers indoor comfort 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
38TPA is one of the industry's quietest condensing units.
Carrier's exclusive Silencer System ensures extra-quiet cooling.
This includes four main elements: the Silencer top, a low-speed
fan motor with large-diameter fan blades, a compressor vibration
isolator plate and a sound hood. The Silencer top is designed to
allow smooth, easy airflow into and out of the outdoor unit to
minimize noise associated with turbulent air. This design allows
us to utilize the low-speed fan motor with large-diameter fan
blades for quieter, more energy efficient operation 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 under 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 38TPA 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 space.

Carrier maintains the industry's toughest reliability testing
standards to be sure that every product we make will provide
trusted performance. Every step of the development process has
reliability testing built in. In fact, Carrier designs and tests
the 38TPA for applications up to 125º. That's a full 10º 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.

Our very first product with Puron®
has become the most trouble-free model in our entire product
offering. And since that time, we have become even more
experienced with installing and servicing these products. That
means your local Carrier dealer is ahead of the competition when
it comes to working with these innovative products. Through a
special factory training program, Carrier has certified thousands
of service technicians nationwide to be your Puron refrigerant
specialists.
Carrier
has been around for over a century by offering products designed
to take the abuse of the great outdoors and deliver lasting,
reliable indoor weather. On the outside, our WeatherArmor™
III system combines a heavy galvanized steel cabinet, 12-gauge
wire coil guard and ceramic-coated screws to provide protection
against rust, corrosion and the abuse that comes from sitting
outside.
By combining our knowledge of indoor weather technology with
new innovations and designs, Carrier remains at the forefront of
the indoor weather 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
38TPA 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,
the 38TPA air conditioner provides the comfort you expect from an
industry leader like Carrier.

The 38TPA allows homeowners to avoid the potentially
skyrocketing 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 38TPA 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 first Puron-based
air conditioners have gained recognition nationwide for dependable
operation.
