50GJ Single-Package Rooftop Electric Cooling Units With Chlorine-Free Refrigerant
5 to 10 Nominal Tons
Carrier has designed the new Tierra&tm; Series based on customer needs to provide products that address several environmental concerns such as ozone layer depletion and global warming.
Features/Benefits
As the industry leader, Carrier's commitment to the environment has led to the development of alternate technology that is both safe for the environment and does not sacrifice customer comfort or energy efficiency. The new refrigerant, R-407C, is specially designed for both zero ozone depletion and high-efficiency performance. R-407C is an HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) and does not contain chlorine, which is present in HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) that destroy the ozone layer. The new chlorine-free refrigerant has virtually identical operating pressures as R-22. This allows Carrier to use the same high-efficiency de-sign of the 50HJ Weathermaster rooftop line. The 50GJ unit operating efficiencies attain SEERs (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios) as high as 12.0 and EERs (Energy Efficiency Ratios) as high as 10.1. This al-lows the Tierra&tm; series to qualify for most utility rebate programs and most demand side and peak electrical load reduction programs. This high efficiency results in the Tierra series consuming less power and fossil fuels than standard efficiency equipment. These lower emissions (resulting in a reduction in greenhouse gases) and zero ozone depletion make the Tierra series the ozone-friendly solution.
