Carrier’s WeatherMaker 38TXA with
Puron® provides a completely unique
collection of features which cannot be
matched by any other family of
equipment. The 38TXA family has been
designed as the first air conditioning
system utilizing Carrier’s unique Puron®
refrigerant. The environmentally sound
refrigerant allows you to make a
responsible decision in the protection of
the earth’s ozone layer. Carrier’s
WeatherMaker systems with Puron® are
certified by the independent Green Seal
organization. These systems also meet the
Energy Star® guidelines for energy
efficiency.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
WeatherArmor III System is a three
component system—The casing steel is
galvanized and coated with a layer of zinc
phosphate. A modified polyester powder
coating is then applied and baked on,
providing each unit with a hard, smooth
finish that will last for many years.
All screws on the cabinet exterior are
SermaGuard coated for a long lasting,
rust-resistant, quality appearance.
The coil is protected with an enhanced
coil guard. With spacing of 3/8 in. and
construction of coated 12 gage wire, the
guard helps to protect from inclement
weather (hail), vandalism, and incidental
damage.
Puron® Environmentally Sound
Refrigerant — Is Carrier’s exclusive
refrigerant designed to help protect the
environment. Puron® is an HFC
refrigerant which does not contain
chlorine that can harm the ozone layer.
The most important advantage of Puron®
refrigerant is that it has not been banned in
future air conditioning systems as the
traditional refrigerant R-22 has been.
Puron® refrigerant is in service in
thousands of systems providing highly
reliable, environmentally sound
performance.
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 SEER. Sophisticated heat transfer
