Aquazone™ Water Source Heat Pump
50WC

with Puron Advance ® Refrigerant (R-454b)

1/2 to 6 Nominal Tons

The Carrier AquaZone 50WC water-source heat pump unit with Puron Advance® refrigerant has a compact, cost optimized design in both vertical and horizontal configurations ideal for both new construction and replacement applications. The 50WC includes enhanced serviceability features, a wide variety of factory-installed options, and flexible configurations suitable for boiler tower, geothermal and hybrid water loop systems. The 50WC is also ideally suited for geothermal LEED®1 certification driven projects due to its high efficiency and use of low-GWP refrigerant.
