TDB Unit Profile

The Carrier
WeatherMaker® Two-Speed with
Puron® refrigerant is like two
air conditioners in one - a high-speed model for the really hot,
sticky days of summer and a low-speed unit for every day cooling.
This remarkable air conditioner operates at low speed up to 75% to
80% of the time to maintain even, consistent temperatures
throughout your home. The longer operating cycles create a more
continuous flow of cool, conditioned air while providing an extra
level of comfort with greater humidity control. When additional
cooling is required, the system automatically switches to
high-speed operation to maintain your comfort.
When
combined with a Thermidistat™ Control and a variable-speed
furnace or fan coil this unit can remove up to 25 gallons of water
a day as compared to a standard air conditioner that removes only
11 gallons. What this means is that your own body's
evaporative cooling is more efficient, which allows you to feel
more comfortable at a high temperature setting, which in turn
saves you money. It also improves your Indoor Air Quality by
way of preventing mold and bacteria growth.
Two-speed technology allows you to fully enjoy the ultimate
in cooling comfort with exceptional energy efficiency. The
WeatherMaker Two-Speed with Puron refrigerant can keep you cool
all summer long while achieving up to 18.0 SEER (Seasonal Energy
Efficiency Ratio) efficiency. That economy of operation has earned
the EPA's Energy Star®
seal for high efficiency performance.
All of this comfort and efficiency is the result of
Carrier's two-speed technology. One of the keys is our
two-speed compressor, which operates at low speed for normal
cooling requirements and high speed for more demanding conditions.
To make the system work seamlessly, our control board monitors
system operation and automatically adjusts the system to deliver
the best possible combination of comfort and energy savings. Just
set the thermostat to your desired temperature and relax with
money-saving comfort.
This environmentally sound air conditioner adds to your comfort
by way of superior indoor air quality (IAQ). Because it
operates at low speeds for longer periods of time, the
WeatherMaker® Two-Speed
with Puron® refrigerant
indirectly provides greater air circulation throughout your home.
Enhanced air circulation not only helps maintain a more consistent
temperature, it also improves your indoor air quality because air
passes through the system's filter for longer periods of time.
With the addition of a high-efficiency Carrier air filter, this
system can provide truly superior air filtration.
At Carrier, we also believe you should feel comfort, not
hear it. Our Puron refrigerant systems have proven to be so
quiet, many of our customers wonder if the unit is even operating.
As
an added measure, we incorporated our exclusive Silencer System
into the design. By decreasing air turbulence within the air
conditioner, the Carrier Silencer System moves air smoothly and
quietly through the unit. This system includes an efficient fan
and fan motor that operate at low speed 75%-80% of the time for
continuous air movement. Sound is quieted further by the sound
hood and compressor vibration isolator plate, which provide a
buffer against noise that may be generated by compressor
operation. All of these features combine to make the WeatherMaker
Two-Speed with Puron refrigerant one of the quietest air
conditioners available.It takes six Carrier WeatherMaker Two-Speed
models operating on low speed at the same time to equal the sound
produced by one typical air conditioner.
The high-efficiency, two-speed compressor is designed for
lasting performance and protected by high and low pressure
switches. The electronic control board includes special
protection features to ensure long-lasting operation. And, the
copper tube/aluminum fin coil efficiently transfers heat out of
your home while resisting corrosion. From initial design to final
assembly, thorough reliability testing ensures
that every Carrier unit we make will pass the toughest test of
all: your comfort.
The WeatherMaker Two-Speed with Puron refrigerant operates
at peak capacity about 20% to 25% of the time. Single-capacity
air conditioners cycle on and off at full capacity for
inconsistent temperatures and added energy use.
Carrier's commitment to your comfort extends
beyond the needs of today with innovative products designed to
meet future environmental guidelines. According to the Clean
Air Act of 1990, Freon®-22*
and other refrigerants will be phased out of use in the near
future. As a result, homeowners will soon have to turn to Puron®
refrigerant to maintain their indoor comfort. That's why Carrier
has been designing and testing heating and cooling e quipment
that uses Puron, a refrigerant approved by the EPA to replace
Freon-22. In fact, Carrier has been offering Puron-based systems
in homes like yours since 1996, developing a complete line of
products using the world's first, long-term solution to ozone
depletion. The Carrier WeatherMaker®
Two-Speed with Puron refrigerant combines the benefits of our
environmentally sound and extremely reliable Puron products with
the superior comfort of two-speed technology.
Carrier knows how to build products that withstand the rigors
of an outdoor installation, starting with our WeatherArmor™ III
protection system.
Designed specifically to keep your air conditioner safe from
corrosion and damage, this system offers three points of
protection. First, the unit is surrounded by a protective cabinet
made of heavy, galvanized steel. Then, we assemble the cabinet
with ceramic-coated screws for corrosion resistance and
long-lasting durability. Finally, we protect the outdoor coil with
a heavy-duty wire guard, which prevents potentially damaging
objects such as hail, debris, sticks and lawn equipment from
reaching the outdoor coil. The WeatherMaker®
Two-Speed with Puron®
refrigerant delivers the ultimate in environmentally sound
comfort, energy savings and lasting performance. It's exactly what
you'd expect from Carrier, the leader in the indoor weather
industry.

The WeatherMaker Two-Speed with Puron refrigerant will save
homeowners now with extra-high efficiency and in the future by
avoiding the potentially high costs for servicing units with
Freon-22. Historically, when a refrigerant has been phased out
(for example, R-12 used in automobile air conditioners) the costs
of servicing products using that refrigerant have risen
dramatically. By choosing a new Carrier system with Puron
refrigerant, you begin saving money right away and avoid the
potentially higher service costs later.
Carrier products have always delivered excellent reliability,
and our Puron refrigerant family of home comfort products has
actually improved upon that record. Environmentally sound,
energy efficient and extremely reliable, the Carrier WeatherMaker
Two-Speed with Puron refrigerant provides the comfort you and your
family deserve.
