WeatherMaker® Applied Rooftop Units
48K

Gas Heating/Electric Cooling with Puron Advance® (R-454B) Refrigerant

20 to 60 Nominal Tons

Carrier K Series Applied Rooftop products are pre-wired and charged with Puron Advance™ (R-454B) low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant and tested in both cooling and heating modes at the factory. All models feature a commercial grade cabinet with fully hinged access panels and are designed to fit most legacy Carrier 48/50A and 48/50E curbs. All K series units include a high-capacity forward curve indoor fan with variable frequency drive (VFD) control and available Staged Air Volume (SAV) or Variable Air Volume (VAV) configurations to meet application requirements. Units are standard with a natural gas heater with aluminized steel heat exchanger and two-stage control.

The standard SmartVu™ control includes a 7-inch touchscreen display with easy to navigate user interface for easy setup and configuration. SmartVu™ can operate stand-alone, with a thermostat, with Carrier i-Vu® 8.0 web-based interfaces, or with other BACnet building automation systems (BAS). A variety of factory installed options are available, including multi-stage gas heat, ultra-low leak economizer, and modulating Humidi-MiZer® dehumidification.
