38APD - Dual-circuit, 25 to 130 Nominal Tons

Gemini™ Select 38APS Series outdoor condensing units feature a single circuit factory-installed option on 25 to 65 ton units. Gemini™ Select 38APD Series outdoor condensing units feature two independent refrigerant circuits on all sizes. 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 shipboard cooling solutions. Multiple coil and cabinet construction options make these condensing units an excellent choice for exposed deck or platform applications.
