ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND, ENERGY-SAVING COOLING FROM 13.0 SEER

WEATHERMAKER® – 38TXAHIGH EFFICIENCY CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING WITH PURON® REFRIGERANT

Carrier’s leadership in the indoorindustry extends beyond temperature control to includedeveloping products designed toanswer global concerns over ozonedepletion and energy efficiency.Back in the earliest days of this century,Carrier started an entire industry based onkeeping people comfortable while theywere indoors. Today, when indoor comfortis taken for granted, our challenge is tomake our products more energy-efficientand reliable while complying with tougherenvironmental regulations. By designingthe first air conditioner to offer a long-termreplacement for Freon®-22*, Carrier isproud to be a leader in the global solutionto eliminate the depletion of the ozonelayer. Using Puron® refrigerant, Carrier’s38TXA is an air conditioner with a future.

THE 38TXA DELIVERS COOL, ENVIRONMENTALLYSOUND INDOOR WEATHER.

For every $100 you would spend to cool your home using an 8 SEER system, a 14 SEERCarrier 38TXA system should cost about $57. Actual savings will depend on the efficiencyof your current system compared to the efficiency of a new system.

GLOBAL ADVANTAGE

FUTURE SERVICEABILITY

In addition to minimizing thedamaging effects of ozone depletion, the 38TXA helps reducethe costs of future serviceability. As Freon®-22 is phased out of use, the costs associated with maintaining or servicing air conditioners using this refrigerant may climb. You can avoid some of those potential costly situations by making the switch to the 38TXA withPuron® refrigerant now.

The 38TXA offers environmentallysound indoor comfort that savesmoney with its energy efficiency.Because Puron® refrigerant is more energyefficient than Freon®-22, the 38TXA easily surpasses the efficiency of similarlyequipped air conditioners that use Freon®-22. Products with Puron refrigerant offersuperior heat transfer capabilities, which arenecessary for cooling your home. As aresult, the 38TXA can provide comfort all summer long with improved electricalsavings while also helping to preserve ourplanet’s ozone layer.

INNOVATION AND PROVEN TECHNOLOGY HELP THE38TXA PROVIDE RELIABLE COOLING.

By combining our knowledge ofindoor comfort technology withnew innovations and designs,Carrier remains at the forefront ofthe indoor weather industry.According to the Clean Air Act of 1990,Freon®-22* and other harmful refrigerantswill be phased out of use and homeownerswill soon have to turn to Puron® refrigerantto maintain their indoor comfort. That’swhy Carrier has been designingand testing heating and coolingequipment that uses Puron, therefrigerant approved by the EPAto replace Freon®-22. In fact,Carrier has been offeringPuron-based systems likethe 38TXA since 1996,developing a completeline of products usingthe world’s first, long-term solution to ozonedepletion. Environ-mentally sound, eco-nomically sound andextremely reliable, Carrier’s 38TXA air

The 38TXA allows homeownersto avoid the potentially sky-rocketing costs for servicing unitswith Freon®-22. In the past, when a refrigerant has been phased out, thecosts of servicing products using thatrefrigerant have risen dramatically. Ithappened in the automobile industrywith Freon®-12, and it could easily happen with Freon®-22. By choosing the 38TXA with Puron® refrigerant, you begin saving money right away and avoid the potentially higher servicecosts later.

The 38TXA air conditionerdelivers cool comfort that youfeel, not hear. At Carrier, weunderstand that it’s hard to relax with a noisy air conditioner. That’s why wedeveloped the Silencer System toinclude four features that ensure extra-quiet cooling. This exclusive designconsists of our Silencer System top, low-speed fan motor with large-diameterfan blades, a compressor vibration isolator plate and a sound muff linghood. The Silencer System top ensuressmooth, easy airf low through the outdoor unit to minimize sound typically associated with turbulentair. This exclusive top designalso allows us to use a low-speed fan motor with largediameter fan blades which add tothe quiet, efficient performance of the38TXA. The compressor vibration isolator plate is made of a special, vibration-absorbing material surrounded by two metal plates.Mounted underneath the compressor,this plate captures vibrational noisefrom the compressor. The sound hoodfurther reduces sound by blanketingthe compressor with sound-absorbingmaterials. All of these design elementswork together to reduce the soundcaused by unit vibrations due to air turbulence and compressor vibration.
