General description

• Optimised part-load management
• High level of seasonal efficiency
• Self-supporting frame
• Multi-scroll compressors
• Electronic expansion valves
• Variable speed EC fans
• Auto-adaptative microprocessor control

Design flexibility

• Vertical supply/return units are ideal for new construction or retrofit to existing installations
• Horizontal units are ideal for replacement or applications such as through-the-wall where sound must be attenuated before the duct penetrates the roof

Easy and fast installation

• Connected directly to an air distribution ductwork without additional elements or equipment, pipes, cables, etc. taking no floor space at all
• Reduces the cost of installation, facilitates a quick connection and ensures reliable operation

Superior reliability

• Excellent full and part load efficiencies are achieved by using tandem scroll compressors
• Compressors are equipped with crankcase heaters and protected by electronic sensors and logic to control minimum on and off times and reverse rotation
• All units are tested at various stages on the production line for circuit leakage, electrical compliance and refrigerant pressures

Advanced technology and performance

• Electronic plug-fans in the indoor circuit with direct drive and variable speed offer the following advantages:
  • Elimination of friction losses during transmission thanks to the direct drive
  • Greater aerodynamic efficiency of the rotor (reactive blades with an optimised profile), running at very high operating pressures
  • Greatly increased motor efficiency. Permanent magnets DC motors activated using electronic switching integrated into the motor itself
  • Variable speed to ensure a constant supply air flow rate, independent of the filters clogging level
  • Measuring the flow rate
• Electronic axial fans in the outdoor circuit which adapt the rotation speed to the installation's requirements, reducing electricity consumption, the sound level at part load and improving the unit's average seasonal efficiency

Environmental care
