Carrier 58UVB PERFORMANCEt 96 Product Data page 2

Power Heatt 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 regulators as do other brands.
This unique feature further enhances the reliability of
Performance 96 gas furnace and continues Carrier's tradition of
technology leadership and innovation in providing a reliable and
durable product.
ComfortFant Technology
Improves comfort all year long by allowing you to select the
continuous fan speed right at the compatible thermostat.
SmartEvapt Technology
Allows your system to reduce summertime humidity levels by
nearly 10% cover standard systems.
ComfortHeatt Adaptive Control Center
The microprocessor control center features state- -of- -the- -art
combustion, temperature, and airflow control to maximize
comfort while operating at peak efficiency.
Combustion control is obtained by taking the appropriate inducer
motor RPM readings when the low- -and high- -fire pressure
switches are made. Using this information, the microprocessor
main- -information, the microprocessor maintains a consistent
air- -to- -fuel ratio independent 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 thermostat 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 using a technique involving
the microprocessor and blower motor. The static load on the air
delivery system is measured each heating
microprocessor then uses this information to deliver correct
airflow independent of variations in system restrictions. (For
example, dirty filter or zone damper changes during a cycle.)
A special dehumidification function allows direct input from a
thermidistat or humidistat. This input adjusts system airflow for
greater humidity removal and increased cooling comfort during
summer months.
Direct Venting
The Performance 96 must be installed as a 2- -pipe (direct vent)
furnace or with combustion air supplied from a well- -ventilated
attic or crawl space.
Electronic Variable- -Speed Motors
ECM Motors (Electronically Commutated Motor) provide
variable- -speed operation to optimize comfort levels in the home
year round. They are also more economical to operate than
standard motors.
Sealed Combustion System
Performance 96 brings in combustion air from outside the
furnace, which results in especially 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 turned for smooth, quiet combustion and
economical operation.
Bottom Closure
Factory- -installed for side return; easily removable for bottom
return.
Blower Access Panel Switch
Automatically shuts off 115- -V power to furnace whenever
blower access panel is opened.
Quality Registration
cycle. The The Performance 96 is engineered and manufactured under an
ISO 9001 registered quality system.
Certifications
The Performance 96, Model 58UVB units are CSA (AGA and
CGA) design certified for use with natural and propane gases.
The furnace is factory- -shipped for use with natural gas. A CSA
listed gas conversion kit is required to convert furnace for use
with propane gas. The efficiency is AHRI efficiency rating
certified. The Performance 96 meets California Air Quality
Management District emission requirements.
