Features And Benefits - Carrier 58MVB Series Product Data

horizontal positions covering up to 24
different applications. The Infinity™ 96
can be installed as a Non-Direct vent/1-
pipe or Direct vent/2-pipe.
The versatile 4-way multipoise design in
conjunction with variable speed makes
the Infinity™ 96 is ideal for use with split-
system cooling, including2-speed units. A
Carrier electronic air cleaner, humidifier,
Thermidistat™, comfort ventilator, and
Comfort Zone™ II will provide year-
round comfort and efficiency.
Designed for durability, comfort, and re-
liability, the Infinity™ 96 is the ultimate
in versatile, efficient comfort.
Carrier Infinity® System — When the
Infinity™ 96 variable-speed gas furnace
is matched with the Infinity Control and
an air conditioner or heat pump, you will
experience the ultimate in ComfortHe-
at™ and Ideal Humidity through unpar-
alleled control of temperature, humidity,
indoor air quality, and zoning. The Car-
rier Infinity System also provides un-
precedented ease of use through on-
screen, text-based service reminders and
equipment malfunction alerts.
For even greater comfort and conve-
nience, match the Infinity™ 96 furnace
with an Infinity air conditioner or heat
pump. This will create a fully communi-
cating system, requiring only 4 thermo-
stat wires between system components,
and troubleshooting can even be done
from the outdoor unit without entering
the home.
Optional remote access through tele-
phone or Internet is also available when
combined with a remote connectivity kit.
Infinity™ 96 FEATURES/
BENEFITS
IdealHumidity — The IdealHumidity
system actively controls both tempera-
ture and humidity in your home to pro-
vide the best comfort all year long. Other
systems depend on heating or cooling to
manage the moisture in the air. But,
IdealHumidity gives you the right
amount of humidity day and night, even
in mild weather. No other manufacturer
can do this! IdealHumidity saves energy,
too. By keeping humidity under control,
you can set your thermostat to stay
comfortable and save energy— up to
20% off your cooling costs!
ComfortHeat™ — On the coldest days
of the year, the Infinity™ 96 Furnace has
the capacity to heat your home. On mod-
erate days when less heat is required, this
furnace will regulate itself to a lower ca-
pacity — providing a comfortable home
and minimizing operating costs.
The patented algoritum adjusts the low-
heat operating time to match the indoor
conditions.

Reliable Heat Exchanger Design —
The primary heat exchanger is made of
aluminized steel for corrosion resistance.
The patented Serpentuff™ condensing
heat exchanger cells are laminated with
polypropylene for greater resistance to
corrosion and epoxy coated externally to
prevent oxidation. This break-through in
heating technology helps extend the life
of the furnace for years of dependable
performance. The heat exchanger is po-
sitioned in the furnace to extract addi-
tional heat. Stainless steel 409 heat
exchanger assembly has better corrosion
resistance in natural gas and propane
applications.
Power Heat™ Igniter — Carrier's
unique SiN igniter is not only physically
robust but it is also electrically robust. It
is capable of running at line voltage and
does not require complex voltage regula-
tors as do other brands. This unique fea-
ture further enhances the reliability of
Infinity™ 96 gas furnace and continues
Carrier's tradition of technology leader-
ship and innovation in providing a reli-
able and durable product.
ComfortFan™ — Improves comfort
all year long by allowing you to select
the continuous fan speed right at the
thermostat.
SmartEvap™ — Allows your system
to reduce summertime humidity levels
by nearly 10% over standard systems.
Media Filter Cabinet — Enhanced in-
door air quality in your home is made
easier with our media filter cabinet—a
standard accessory on all deluxe fur
naces. When installed as a part of your
system, this cabinet allows for easy and
convenient addition of a Carrier high-
efficiency air filter.
ComfortHeat™ Control Center —
The microprocessor control center fea-
tures state-of-the-art combustion, tem-
perature, and airflow control to
maximize comfort while operating at
peak efficiency.
Combustion control is obtained by tak-
ing the appropriate inducer motor RPM
readings when the low- and high-fire
pressure switches are made. Using this
information, the microprocessor main-
tains a consistent air-to-fuel ratio inde-
pendent of vent sizing and conditions.
The first cycle after power reset provides
16 minutes of low heat before switching
to high heat unless the room thermostat
has been satisfied. Subsequent thermo-
stat cycles provide anywhere from 0 to
16 minutes of low heat depending on the
length of the previous thermostat cycle.
Airflow control is accomplished by us-
ing a technique involving the micropro-
cessor and blower motor. The static load
on the air delivery system is measured
each heating cycle. The microprocessor
then uses this information to deliver cor-
rect airflow independent of variations in
system restrictions. (For example, dirty
filter or zone damper changes during a
cycle.)
A special dehumidification function al-
lows direct input from a thermidistat or
humidistat. This input adjusts system air-
flow for greater humidity removal and
increased cooling comfort during sum-
mer months.
Warranty — The Infinity™ 96 heat ex-
changers come with a Limited Warranty
for lifetime of original owner in single
family residence; 20 years in other resi-
dential and commercial applications.
Five-year limited warranty on entire
unit. Contact your dealer for details.
Direct or Non-Direct Venting — The
Infinity™ 96 can be installed as a 1-pipe
(Non-direct) Vent or 2-pipe (Direct
Vent) furnace. This provides added flex-
ibility to meet diverse installation needs.
Electronic Variable-Speed Motors —
ECM Motors (Electronically Commutat-
ed Motor) provide variable-speed opera-
tion to optimize comfort levels in the
home year round. They are also more
economical to operate than standard
motors.
Sealed Combustion System — Infin-
ity™ 96 brings in combustion air from
outside the furnace, which results in es-
pecially quiet operation.
Insulation — Foil-faced insulation in
heat exchanger section of the casing
minimizes heat loss.
Insulated Blower Compartment —
The acoustical insulation reduces air and
motor noise for quiet operation.
Monoport Burners — The burners are
finely tuned for smooth, quiet combus-
tion and economical operation.
Bottom Closure — Factory-installed
for side return; easily removable for bot-
tom return.
Blower Access Panel Switch —Auto-
matically shuts off 115-v power to fur-
nace whenever blower access panel is
opened.
Quality Registration — The Infinity™
96 is engineered and manufactured un-
der an ISO 9001 registered quality
system.
Certifications — The Infinity™ 96,
Model 58MVB units are CSA. (A.G.A.
and C.G.A.) design certified for use with
natural and propane gases. The furnace is
factory-shipped for use with natural gas.
An C.S.A. listed gas conversion kit is re-
quired to convert furnace for use with
propane gas. The efficiency is GAMA
efficiency rating certified. The Infinity™
96 meets California Air Quality Man-
agement District emission requirements.
