38MA*R

Outdoor Unit Single Zone Ductless System

Sizes 09 to 36

INDUSTRY LEADING

FEATURES / BENEFITS

A PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN

BUDGET LIMITS, ENERGY SAVINGS AND

COMFORT.

The 38MA*R series ductless split systems are a matched

combination of an outdoor condensing unit and an indoor fan coil

unit connected only by refrigerant tubing and wires.

The ductless system permits creative solutions to design problems

such as:

S Add−ons to current space (an office or family room

addition)

S Special space requirements

S When changes in the load cannot be handled by the

existing system

S When adding air conditioning to spaces that are heated

by hydronic or electric heat and have no ductwork

S Historical renovations or any application where

preserving the look of the original structure is essential.

The ideal compliment to your ducted system when it is impractical

or prohibitively expensive to use ductwork.

The compact indoor fan coil units take up very little space in the

room and do not obstruct windows. The fan coils are attractively

styled to blend with most room decors. Advanced system

components incorporate innovative technology to provide reliable

cooling performance at low sound levels.

LOW SOUND LEVELS BUILT−IN RELIABILITY When noise is a concern, the ductless split systems are the answer. The indoor units are whisper quiet. There are no compressors indoors, either in the conditioned space or directly over it, and there is none of the noise usually generated by air being forced through ductwork. When sound ordinances and proximity to neighbors demand quiet operation, the 38MA*R unit is the right choice. The advanced, horizontal airflow design distributes air more evenly over the coil.

APPLICATION DATA UNIT SELECTION Select equipment that either matches or supports slightly more than the 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 undersizing the equipment.

METERING DEVICES The outdoor unit has an electronic expansion valve to manage the refrigerant flow of the connected fan coil. DRAIN CONNECTIONS Install drains to meet the local sanitation codes. See the physical dimension tables for the drain sizes. REFRIGERANT LINES General refrigerant line sizing: 1. The outdoor units are shipped with a full charge of R410A refrigerant. All charges, line sizing, and capacities are based on runs of 25 ft. (7.6 m). For runs over 25 ft. (7.
