NEW CONSTRUCTION

The Carrier 52P and 52C Packaged Terminal Air Con-
ditioning (PTAC) unit is designed to meet the needs of
the architect, engineer, and contractor. For unit instal-
lation, Carrier's expert support network will assist in
all applicable aspects of the construction project, from
preparing a budget to start-up.
ADVANTAGES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION
Design Flexibility For The Architect/Engineer
• Super-quiet performance, indoors and out
• No bulky duct system
• No separate equipment room
• No water towers or additional cooling equipment
• No complex match-up
components
• Less sensitivity to building orientation (sun, wind,
shade)
• Optional architectural grille to permit custom exte-
rior appearance
Initial Cost Savings For The Building Owner
• No expensive component HVAC system purchase
• No equipment room or maintenance engineering
staff
• Two-part delivery to minimize on-site damage
• Weather-protected wall sleeve that goes in place
during construction; chassis that slides in place after
construction
• No seasonal changeover required for cooling or
heating — units are self-contained comfort systems
of different HVAC
Lower Operating Costs And Reliable Comfort
For The Occupant
• Heat pump models offer substantial savings over
models with conventional electric resistance heaters
• Individual units allow tenants to choose the degree
of comfort and operating economy.
• Rapid servicing reduces downtime: complete chas-
sis can be replaced in minutes without disrupting
other occupants.
• Each unit operates independently of other units in
the building. No dependency by building on central
HVAC system.

RETROFIT/REPLACEMENT

If you are replacing a unit in an existing wall sleeve,
your options include:
• Replace the existing wall sleeve with a Carrier
Weather Last™ sleeve. See accessory sleeve sec-
tion for selecting the correct sleeve for your appli-
cation. Note, in most cases, when replacing the wall
sleeve, the exterior grille must also be replaced.
• Use an existing sleeve and exterior grille. The
Carrier 52P and 52C series PTAC will fit into most
major competitors wall sleeves/grilles, including
GE, Amana, Trane, Bryant, Carrier 52S and Carrier
52B, and NO accessory retrofit kit is required.
Carrier units will also retrofit into Friedrich T series
and ZoneAire wall sleeves, with a required wall
sleeve extension (see accessory Friedrich Retrofit
Wall Sleeve Adapter).
IMPORTANT: All other sleeve or exterior grille
retrofit applications need prior approval from
Carrier. Please contact your Carrier representative
for assistance.

sive in the industry. Carrier provides:
