Description- FT5 Performance Puron Advance VS Air Handler R454B Refrigerant
FT5 PERFORMACE PREMIUM ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE FAN COIL
This is the premium air handler combining the proven technology of Carrier fan coils with environmentally balanced Puron Advance® refrigerant.Carrier is proud to introduce its InteliSense™ technology
which is a connected system solution when paired with Internet-connected Ecobee for Carrier smart thermostats to deliver a smarter, faster, and more efficient service experience to the homeowner, while also providing them peace of mind. The FT5 achieves an operational advantage when the variable speed ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) is combined with a Carrier Performance™heat pump or air conditioner with Puron Advance® refrigerant.
With attention to quiet, efficient, and comfortable operation, Carrier have has developed a new benchmark for superior indoor comfort and control. Carrier’s heat pump and air conditioning systems feature Puron Advance® refrigerant (R-454B), the chlorine-free refrigerant that is the future for the residential heating and cooling industry.
The FT5 using Puron Advance® refrigerant maximizes performance for environmentally balanced systems. In addition to environmental safety, these systems are 30 to 40% more efficient than standard heating and cooling systems, thereby combining excellence in efficiency and environmental responsibility.
The FT5 provides these benefits due to Carrier’s command of ECM technology. These motors are extremely efficient at all speeds, and enable the FT5 to operate at the correct speed to deliver airflow precisely, ensuring proper performance across a wide range of duct static pressures. This adaptive efficiency also makes installation quality easier to achieve for today’s demanding homeowner. Carrier’s command of ECM technology may be most evident in the comfort advantages that ECM can deliver. Operation set up steps on the InteliSense™ Board provide the installing technician with alternatives to maximize comfort and efficiency. For true indoor comfort, the homeowner can achieve command of both temperature and humidity in cooling and heating modes.
Another feature which sets the FT5 apart is the factory-installed TXV, which enhances efficiency and provides compressor protecting operation at all recommended conditions. Grooved tubing, louvered aluminum fins, and the large face areas of the FT5 refrigerant coils also provide superior efficiency, for high SEER and HSPF performance.
Carrier leads the way in condensate control, a hallmark of these multipoise fan coils.
All of these featured components are protected within a rugged, pre-painted metal cabinet lined with super thick, high density insulation. For neat, high quality installations the unit exterior features sweat refrigerant connections for simple leak free performance, and multiple electrical entry for both high and low voltage service.
Assembled at the factory compliant with low leak requirements of less than 2% cabinet leakage rate at 1 inches W.C. and 1.4% cabinet leakage rate at 0.5 inches W.C. when tested in accordance with ASHRAE 193 standard.
