Carrier is proud to introduce its newest water-source heat pump models, the Aquazone™ 50WC, 50WD, and 50WT, which feature lower-Global Warming Potential Puron Advance™ refrigerant. Carrier is a part of Carrier Global Corporation, a pioneer in intelligent climate and energy solutions.
The 50WC is available from ½ to 6 nominal tons and has a compact, optimized design in both vertical and horizontal configurations ideal for new construction and replacement applications.
50W-Series heat pump models
The 50WT offers the highest level of efficiency in the series with 2-stage operation from 2 to 6 tons
The 50WD is available with the same capacity range and offers a higher efficiency level, and 2-stage operation from 2 to 6 tons capacity, for enhanced energy savings. The 50WT offers the highest level of efficiency in the series with 2-stage operation from 2 to 6 tons.
All 50W-Series heat pump models include enhanced serviceability features, a wide variety of factory-installed options and flexible configurations suitable for boiler tower, geothermal and hybrid water loop systems.
Intelligent HVAC solutions
“The AquaZone heat pump line was created to offer increased efficiency and configurations to match a wide range of applications,” said Alan Youker, Sr. Product Manager, Carrier.
“The 50WC is our latest update, providing more options and a smaller footprint and proving once again that Carrier is committed to providing intelligent HVAC solutions to fit the needs of its customers."
Use of lower GWP refrigerant
Puron Advance is the retail name for R-454B, which Carrier has adopted for its commercial products
Youker added: "The 50WD’s and 50WT’s higher efficiency and use of lower GWP refrigerant makes them ideally suited for LEED® certification projects, especially those involving geothermal systems.”
Puron Advance is the commercial name for R-454B, which Carrier has adopted for its light commercial and residential products.
Reduction from R-410A
Its GWP100 of 466, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report, is a 75% reduction from R-410A. GWP is a measure of a substance’s climate warming impact compared to CO2.
That reduction and its non-ozone depleting potential is why Puron Advance was selected as one of the best solutions to minimize environmental impact and provide longevity based on updated government regulations.
