Wide Range of Sizes
The 38HK Series is available in 2 nominal sizes from 4.0 ton to 5.0 ton to meet the needs of residential and light commercial application. All units are offered in 400V three phase in size 48 and 60.
Built-in Reliability
Carrier split system outdoor units are designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. The 38HK Series condensing units are the only dedicated commercial units with all safety features standard to ensure high performance and lasting reliability under the most demanding situations. For example, start capacitors ensure dependable start- ups, especially during low voltage conditions (Down to 187V). High-pressure and low-pressure safety switches are standard.
External Service Valves
Service valves are brass, front seating type. The 38HK Series has flare connections, sweat adapter kit is provided for 7/8” tube size. Valves are externally located so refrigerant tube connections can be made quickly and easily. Each valve has a service port for ease of checking operating refrigerant pressures.
Fast Installation
Carrier’s compact systems take a few hours with only wire and piping needed to be installed. The fast and easy installation ensures minimal disruption to customers in the home or workplace. This Carrier advantage is especially beneficial in retrofit situations.
Secure Operation
If security is an issue, outdoor and indoor units are connected only by refrigerant piping and wiring to prevent intruders from crawling through ductwork. The 38HK Series units can be installed 8 in. away from outside walls, protecting coils from vandals and severe weather.
Easy Access for Service and Maintenance
A single panel provides immediate access to the isolated compressor and control compartment, allowing a service technician access to check unit operation without losing condenser airflow. Coils can be cleaned quickly from the outside.
Application Versatility
The unit can be combined with a wide variety of evaporator coils and blower packages to provide quiet, dependable comfort. Unit can be installed on a roof or at ground level.
