Technical Highlights
Coil Technology
- 30RB/30RBP: Features NOVATION™ Second Generation Micro Channel Heat Exchangers (MCHE) for increased reliability, reduced refrigerant charge, and improved thermal performance.
- 30RQ/30RQP: Utilizes Copper/Aluminium coils with protective heat shrink sleeves and coil heaters to prevent frost formation.
Fans
Equipped with Carrier's sixth generation Flying Bird™ fans, engineered for maximum efficiency, low noise, and a wide operating range. These fans feature patented rotating shroud technology and back-swept blades inspired by nature. Available with AC or EC motors for enhanced efficiency and variable speed control.
Compressors
Features Hermetic Scroll compressors for reliable and efficient operation.
Refrigerant
Uses R-32 refrigerant, which has a lower GWP compared to previous versions.
Installation and Operation
- Compact Design: Units are designed with compact dimensions for easy installation.
- Built-in Hydraulic Module (Optional): Available with single or dual pumps, featuring automatic balancing and changeover, and built-in variable-speed pumps for automatic water flow adjustment.
- Reduced Installation Costs: The design, particularly with variable primary flow (VPF) systems, can lead to significant cost savings by eliminating the need for secondary distribution pumps. No buffer tank is typically required due to Carrier's advanced control algorithm.
- Fast Commissioning: Units undergo systematic factory testing, and feature a quick-test function for step-by-step verification.
