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.
