SYRACUSE, N.Y. — With Carrier Corporation’s new Cobra™ high-efficiency energy recovery rooftop unit, building owners and managers no longer need to make a choice between good indoor air quality (IAQ), adequate ventilation, occupant comfort, or energy efficiency, says the manufacturer.
Cobra, part of Carrier’s Weathermaster® series, was developed specifically with IAQ in mind, product manager Henry Gellert said. The unit incorporates features which allow building owners to exhaust poor quality return air directly outside without risk of contaminating their fresh supply air, the company says. At the same time, Cobra reclaims the exhausting air’s energy and uses it to precondition the fresh supply air, providing economical comfort for building occupants and owners, says the company.
