The Carrier 38VT*173H is a robust top-discharge heat pump unit designed for high-efficiency heating and cooling within commercial VRF systems. Built as part of the XCT7 generation, this unit supports a capacity range of 8-26 HP and is compatible with up to 64 indoor units, offering the flexibility to combine up to 104 HP for large-scale applications. It utilizes R-410A refrigerant and features advanced DC inverter scroll compressor technology to ensure reliable performance and climate control. Designed for demanding environments, the 38VT*173H incorporates several protective features, including black-coated fins for enhanced corrosion resistance, anti-liquid shock technology, and 10-stage oil return systems to maintain optimal lubrication. The outdoor unit is engineered for practical serviceability, with an optimized design that allows for a 120-degree opening for internal component access. Furthermore, the system provides significant installation flexibility with support for piping runs up to 1,000 meters and a maximum height difference of 110 meters, making it an ideal choice for high-rise building projects.
