Carrier Performance 13 38TXA Product Data page 2

Finally, all screws on cabinet exterior are
ceramic coated for a long-lasting, rust-
resistant, quality appearance.
High Efficiency Performance — Is
delivered through a combination of
features including Carrier's Puron
refrigerant, unique scroll compressor, and
advanced heat transfer surfaces. Efficiency
ratings are 13 SEER (Seasonal Energy
Efficiency Ratio) with enhanced ratings of
up to 14.5 SEER. Sophisticated heat
transfer surfaces utilized in Carrier's
38TXA design allow heat to easily be
transferred to the outdoor air and requires
less energy. The unique scroll compressor
found in the 38TXA design performs
quietly and adds to the overall efficiency of
the system. For improved serviceability, all
models are equipped with a compressor
terminal plug. Finally Carrier's unique
Puron refrigerant operates more efficiently
than ordinary R-22 refrigerant found in
other systems. The efficiency levels
provided by the 38TXA provide end users
with lower costs of operation than
traditional air conditioning systems.
Assured Future Service — By utilizing
the environmentally sound refrigerant,
Puron, 38TXA models will remain
serviceable well into the future. The Clean
Air Act of 1990 has placed a cap on
production of most other refrigerants
which has scheduled reductions beginning
in 2004. The resulting cap in production
ultimately results in a complete ban on
many other refrigerants in new equipment
by the year 2010. These changes, required
by federal law, mean the supply of other
refrigerants may be limited in the near
future making Puron the correct choice
when considering long term serviceability.
Highly Reliable Performance — Is
delivered through the superior design of
the system and componentry. The
reliability of the 38TXA models has been

proven to provide the lowest incidence of
warranty service of any product in the
Carrier family in its past 3 years of service.
Long term reliability is assured through
the use of both high and low pressure
switches which will not allow the system
to operate in the event of a significant
change in operating pressure. In doing
this, the system is protected from damage
if an unusual condition arises. Finally,
Carrier includes a special liquid line filter
drier designed to trap moisture and
contaminants which could otherwise
shorten the life of the system.
Carrier's Silencer System — Is one of
the most sought after features of the
38TXA family. Extremely low operating
sound is the result of special attention to
the air moving through the outdoor unit, a
specially designed sound enclosure
surrounding the compressor, and an
exclusive laminated plate beneath the
compressor to eliminate sound
transmission to the rest of the system.
Application Versatility — Carrier's
systems utilizing Puron refrigerant have
the same application guidelines as other
systems. Applications which include long
line sets (50 to 175 ft) or applications
which require the system to operate at low
outdoor temperatures (below 55°F) are
approved under Carrier's standard
guidelines.
Carrier Coils and Fan Coils to
Complete the System — Carrier
specially designs both the outdoor product
and indoor coil products to operate with
assured reliability and performance. A
wide range of indoor coil options are listed
in the ratings section of this publication.
Special Protective Devices — High and
low pressure switches and internal
protection in the compressor including
temperature and current sensing overloads
prevent operation under potentially
damaging circumstances. A special liquid
line filter drier designed to trap nearly
4 times the volume of contaminants
of standard driers provides superior
protection from moisture trapped in the
system.
Electrical Range — 208/230 volt,
single phase only.
Wide Range of Sizes — Available in six
sizes 2, 2-1/2, 3, 3-1/2, 4 and 5 tons.
Totally Enclosed Fan Motor —
Protected from adverse weather
conditions.
Unit Design — Enhanced copper and
aluminum heat transfer surfaces with
vertical air discharge to direct air up and
away from the area.
External Service Valves — Both
service valves are back seating type valves
which are externally located. These unique
valves allow service technicians to
evacuate or charge the system in less time
than standard service valves.
Easy Serviceability — One access
panel provides access to electrical controls
and compressor. Removal of wire dome
gives access to fan motor and removal of
the top gives access to the coil.
Agency Approvals — 38TXA models
are listed with UL (U.S. and Canada),
ARI, and CEC. Special endorsements
have also been awarded these products by
Energy Star® which recognizes energy
efficient products.
Limited Warranty — A standard 5 year
warranty on parts with extended warranty
coverage on the compressor for a total of
10 years. A five year warranty is offered on
the outdoor coil. Optional warranties are
available through your Carrier distributor.
