Features / Benefits
• Every compact one-piece unit arrives fully assembled, charged, tested, and ready to run
• Designed especially for high ambient environment
• EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) up to 11.85
• The small footprint coupled with the horizontal airflow design means that the 38P Series units can be
installed within 200 mm (8 in) of an outside wall, on a roof, balcony or deck
Wide Range of Sizes

The 38P Series is available in 6 nominal sizes from 1.5 ton to 5.0 ton to meet the needs of residential and light
commercial application. All units are offered in 230V single phase, with three phase also available from size 48 & 60.
Application Versatility
The unit can be combined with a wide variety of evaporator coils and blower packages to provide quiet, dependable
comfort. Unit can be installed on a roof or at ground level.
Easy access for service and maintenance

A single panel provides immediate access to the isolated compressor and control compartment, allowing a service
technician access to check unit operation without losing condenser airflow. Coils can be cleaned quickly from the
outside.
Secure operation
If security is an issue, outdoor and indoor units are connected only by refrigerant piping and wiring to prevent
intruders from crawling through ductwork. The 38P Series units can be installed 8 in. away from outside walls,
protecting coils from vandals and severe weather.
Fast installation
Carrier’s compact systems take a few hours with only wire and piping needed to be installed. The fast and easy
installation ensures minimal disruption to customers in the home or workplace. This Carrier advantage is especially
beneficial in retrofit situations.
External Service Valves

Service valves are brass, front seating type. The 38P Series has flare connections, sweat adapter kit is provided for
7/8” tube size. Valves are externally located so refrigerant tube connections can be made quickly and easily. Each
valve has a service port for ease of checking operating refrigerant pressures.
Built-in reliability
Carrier split system outdoor units are designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. The 38P Series
condensing units are the only dedicated commercial units with all safety features standard to ensure high
performance and lasting reliability under the most demanding situations. High-pressure and low-pressure safety
switches are standard.

Application data
Unit selection
Select equipment to match or be slightly less than anticipated peak load. This provides better humidity control, fewer
unit cycles, and less part-load operation.
For units used in spaces with high sensible loads, base equipment selection on unit sensible load, not on total
anticipated load. Adjust for anticipated room wet bulb temperature to avoid under sizing equipment.
When selecting equipment that has outdoor air introduced into the unit, determine the mix conditions of room air and
outdoor air at design conditions. The cooling capacity tables in this literature are based on 80.6 F edb. To select the
proper equipment, adjust for actual dry-bulb and wet-bulb conditions with the required outdoor air.
Unit mounting
Unit leveling: For reliable operation, units should be level in all planes.
Clearance: Provide adequate clearance for airflow. See dimensional drawings for proper clearances. The
condensing units are designed for free-blow application. Air inlets and outlets should not be restricted. Outdoor fan
external static pressure available is less than 0.1 in. wg.
Unit location: Units may be wall mounted, pad mounted at ground level, roof mounted, or mounted on or under a
deck or patio. Be sure that water from roof does not drain directly onto the unit. If 38P Series condensing units are
mounted near a wall, the condenser air should discharge away from the wall. This will provide inherent coil protection
and the best possible sound and airflow performance.
Controls
Unit operation
Note: Auto fan mode is used as the unit operation example for all fan coil units in this section. Contact your local
Carrier dealer for operation information in other fan modes.
Fan coil units: Duct free fan coil units have a self-contained control system that determines the set point for cool
mode operation, and heating mode operation (if provided). The un-ducted fan coil and ducted fan coil units
are equipped with a thermostat. For ducted fan coils the installed thermostat determines the set point for fan
mode operation, and electric heat operation (if provided).
On a call for cooling operation by a single fan coil unit, a signal is sent to the 38P outdoor unit and energizes a control
relay.
Refrigerant lines
General refrigerant line sizing:
1. All charges, line sizing, and capacities are based on runs of 25 ft. For runs over 25 ft., consult the Long Line
Guideline.
2. Refrigerant lines should not be buried in the ground. If it is necessary to bury the lines, not more than 36 in. should
be buried. Provide a minimum 6 in. vertical rise to the service valves to prevent refrigerant migration.
3. The refrigerant lines must be insulated. Use a minimum of 1/2-in. thick insulation. Closed-cell insulation is
recommended in all applications.
4. Special consideration should be given to isolating interconnecting tubing from the building structure. Isolate the
tubing so that vibration or noise is not transmitted into the structure.
5. The 38P Series system charge is based on rated performance and 25 ft. of line.
6. For the supply and return lines, check physical data.
The indoor blower starts according to the normal fan coil unit sequence of operation.
The control relay (in the outdoor unit) initiates operation of a cooling cycle for the compressor. As the set point at the
fan coil is satisfied, its individual signal to the 38P unit stops.
38P Series outdoor condensing unit: The outdoor unit is equipped with a control that monitors the indoor fan coil
cooling request.
Unit malfunction: Each unit is equipped with a high-pressure switch (HPS), a low pressure switch (LPS),
Compressor over current protection is achieved by an internal line break overload, which automatically resets when
the motor temperature cools to a satisfactory level.
