Gemini® Select Air-Cooled Outdoor Condensing Unit
38RC

with R-32 Refrigerant

25-60 Nominal Tons

Gemini® Select 38 Series outdoor condensing units feature one or two independent refrigerant circuits on all sizes. Each unit has its own highly efficient hermetic scroll compressor(s). All units are factory-wired and easily connected by refrigerant lines and control wiring to the matching Carrier indoor air-handling units. Various combinations of condensing units with air handlers provide packages to cover a wide range of commercial cooling solutions. Low roof-load weight distribution and weatherproof construction make these condensing units an excellent selection for rooftop or on-the-ground installations on commercial and industrial air conditioning applications.
