Carrier® High Efficiency Heat Pump with Greenspeed™ Intelligence
Named One of the “Hot 50 Products of 2012” by GreenBuilder Magazine
INDIANAPOLIS, May 17, 2012 - The Carrier® Infinity® 20
heat pump with Greenspeed ™ intelligence was recently
voted one of “The Hot 50 Products of 2012” by
GreenBuilder magazine, a leading North American
residential building industry publication. The GreenBuilder
panel of judges selected the Carrier heat pump product
based on its overall impact, innovation and reliability.
Carrier, the world’s leader in high technology heating, airconditioning and refrigeration solutions, is a part of UTC
Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies
Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
Introduced in 2011, the Infinity heat pump with Greenspeed intelligence has an HSPF
(Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) efficiency rating up to 13, making it the highest
heating efficiency ducted, air source heat pump on the market. The Infinity heat pump delivers
up to 69 percent higher heating efficiency in the three-ton size.
“Carrier is proud that the Infinity 20 heat pump with Greenspeed intelligence has been
named one of ‘The Hot 50 Products of 2012’ by GreenBuilder magazine” said Matt Nuijens,
Carrier brand manager. “As a company committed to sustainability, Carrier continually
improves on the performance and efficiency of its products. It is a tremendous honor to have
this new heat pump included as one of the 50 building products that raise the bar a little higher
in the industry.”
The Infinity 20 heat pump with Greenspeed intelligence was one of four HVAC (heating,
ventilation and air conditioning) products to receive the “Hot 50 Products of 2012” designation
from GreenBuilder magazine.
“One of the many innovative features of the Infinity 20 heat pump is its ability to provide
warmer air at the register when outdoor temperatures fall into the teens,” said Rob Lambert,
Carrier product manager and application engineer. “Under similar conditions, standard heat
pumps may deliver cooler air at the register when outdoor temperatures decline. The Infinity 20
heat pump is one of the highest efficiency air source heat pumps built with consumer comfort
in mind.”
When installed as part of a complete Infinity system, the new heat pump adjusts its
output within a range of 40 to 100 percent of capacity to match the heating or cooling
requirements of a home. This innovation is made possible by pairing the superior
communication ability of Carrier Greenspeed intelligence with a Copeland Scroll® variable speed compressor from Emerson Climate Technologies, optimized specifically for this heat
pump.
With cooling efficiencies of up to 20.5 SEER and variable-speed compressor
technology, this new heat pump is also ideal for superior cooling and dehumidification in
regions with warmer temperatures and high humidity.
