Puron® Environmentally Sound

systems providing highly reliable,
environmentally sound performance. For
specific R-22 phase out information see
your Carrier distributor.

Optional remote access through telephone
or Internet is also available when combined

phosphate, a modified polyester powder
coating is then applied and baked on,
providing each unit with a hard, smooth
