Air Conditioners
38TXA Profile
 Carrier's leadership in the indoor weather
industry extends beyond temperature control to include developing products designed to
answer global concerns over ozone depletion and energy efficiency. Back in the
earliest days of this century, Carrier started an entire industry based on keeping people
comfortable while they were indoors. Today, when indoor comfort is taken for granted, our
challenge is to make our products more energy-efficient and reliable while complying with
tougher environmental regulations. By designing the first air conditioner to offer a
long-term replacement for Freon®* 22, Carrier is proud to be a leader in the global solution to
eliminate the depletion of the ozone layer. Using Puron® refrigerant,
Carrier's 38TXA is an air conditioner with a future.
In addition to minimizing the damaging effects of ozone
depletion, the 38TXA helps reduce the costs of future serviceability. As Freon® 22 is
phased out of use, the costs associated with maintaining or servicing air conditioners
using this refrigerant will climb. You can avoid some of those potentially costly
situations by making the switch to the 38TXA with Puron refrigerant now.
 The 38TXA
offers environmentally sound indoor weather that saves money with its energy efficiency.
Because Puron refrigerant is more energy efficient than Freon® 22, the 38TXA
easily surpasses the efficiency of similarly equipped air conditioners that use Freon® 22.
Products with Puron refrigerant offer superior heat transfer capabilities, which are
necessary for cooling your home. As a result, the 38TXA can provide comfort all summer
long with improved electrical savings while it's helping to preserve our planet's ozone
layer.
The 38TXA air conditioner delivers cool comfort that
you feel, not hear. At Carrier, we understand that it's hard to relax with a noisy air
conditioner. That's why we developed the Silencer System to include four features that
ensure extra-quiet cooling. This exclusive design consists of our Silencer System top,
low-speed fan motor with large-diameter fan blades, a compressor vibration isolator plate
and a sound muff ling hood. The Silencer System top ensures smooth, easy air flow through
the outdoor unit to minimize sound typically associated with turbulent air. This exclusive
top design also allows us to use a low-speed fan motor with large diameter fan blades
which add to the quiet, efficient performance of the 38TXA. 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 noise from the
compressor. The sound hood further reduces sound by blanketing the compressor with
sound-absorbing materials. All of these design elements work together to reduce the sound
caused by unit vibrations due to air turbulence and compressor vibration.
Not only does the Silencer System effectively minimize
sound from your outdoor unit, it also adds to the overall cooling efficiency of the 38TXA.
By reducing air turbulence in the outdoor unit, the Silencer System decreases the work
required of your cooling system. As a result, the 38TXA delivers greater comfort with
improved energy efficiency.
 For nearly 100 years, Carrier has earned its
place as a leader in the indoor weather industry through high-tech designs and
performance-proven products. Every Carrier product is thoroughly tested
throughout every step of product development. During the design phase, hand-built
proto-types are
tested to optimize performance. Test stations on the production line provide
quality control during assembly. Then, each product is run-tested by a bank
of computers that
monitor all vital functions. In fact, Carrier designs and tests the 38TXA
for applications up to 125°. That's a full 10 degrees higher than the industry
standard requirements. By the time a Carrier product is delivered, it has
been thoroughly tested to ensure that it
stands up to our tough performance standards.
As the first manufacturer to offer products with Puron®
refrigerant, Carrier not only delivers excellent performance but we back the reliability
of these products with a 10 year compressor warranty. We have been designing,
installing and servicing products with Puron refrigerant since 1996. That means Dring is years ahead of our competitors when it comes
to working with these innovative products. In addition, Carrier has certified more than
twenty-thousand service technicians nationwide to be your Puron refrigerant experts.
 Carrier's experience delivering custom made
indoor weather dates back nearly a century. 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 weather. 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 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 38TXA 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 38TXA air
conditioner with Puron refrigerant provides the comfort you expect from an industry leader
like Carrier.
The 38TXA 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 38TXA 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.
