Carrier 58RAV Furnace Overview

The Carrier 58RAV is a discontinued downflow/horizontal induced-combustion gas furnace. Models of the 58RAV had input capacities of 50,000 to 135,000 BTU/hr. with an 80.0% AFUE. The patented Super-S 4-pass stainless steel heat exchanger provided improved heat transfer, and a hot surface ignition system increased reliability and efficiency. Noise levels were reduced by a soft mount inducer assembly and slow opening gas valve. The control board monitored furnace operations and functions and included a self-test feature and an LED status indicator light. The galvanized steel cabinet had an aluminized steel substrate to provide rust and corrosion resistance.
