VIRTUAL
2020 a huge year for Hitachi innovationx
THERE HAVE BEEN plenty of exciting an- nouncements from Hitachi this year with the re- lease of its new FrostWash technology and the upcoming launch of a VRF remote management system.
FrostWash’s unique self-cleaning technology works by freezing moisture on the surface of the indoor unit heat exchanger, capturing and then flushing away impurities that can build over time.
The FrostWash Technology works behind the scenes, with an array of other innovative features such as built-in motion sensor, Power Tracking, weekly programmable scheduling and Wi-Fi con- nectivity with voice command capabilities. Avail- able on the NEW S Series High Wall split systems with cooling capacity ranging from 2.5kw to 8kw
Hitachi has also developed set free mini VRF systems to achieve the best performance in a wide variety of commercial applications includ- ing residential apartments, shops, and offices, where unobtrusive appearance and quiet opera- tion are important.
SET FREE Mini offers 3 types of outdoor units ranging from 3HP to 12HP with high energy sav- ings, installation flexibility and environment adaptability.
Design flexibility is guaranteed by the breadth of the range of compatible indoor units – up to 12 model types, offering flexibility and maximum air distribution enabling the SET FREE Mini Sys- tem to be easily installed for maximum perfor- mance.
AIRCLOUD HOME
airCloud Home is a cloud-based solution for re- motely controlling a Hitachi Air Conditioning system via a smart phone or device.
A suite of features such as temperature con- trol, adjustable air flow direction, weekly pro- grammable scheduling and voice command with the use of Alexa or Google allows for total comfort creation and ideal climate throughout the home all from a single easy to use app.
Much like airCloud Home, airCloud Pro is a cloud-based solution for re- mote access via a smart phone, tablet or laptop al- lowing for VRF Systems to be managed with ease whilst
being off-site.
airCloud Pro has a con-
nection possibility of up to 80 indoor units and 16 out- door units with optimized AC operations such as: tem- perature adjustments, fan speed and louvre direction
control, scheduling, user permissions and power monitoring ca-
pabilities to name a few. Also encompassing in- tuitive configuration, secure registration and login, shortcuts to access most common func- tions and the ability to control unlimited num- ber of sites.
Centralized management at a new level is coming soon.
The Hitachi High Static Ducted system ranges from 4 to 7HP, an ideal solution for homes small or large, and or commercial tenancies. Engi- neered to be compact and discreet, the 4HP up to the 6HP comes with the added feature of being separable into two pieces, allowing installation into tight ceiling cavities hassle free.
Paired with Hitachi’s intuitive zone controller, not only does it offer comfortable air condition- ing where and when needed but, it allows for greater energy savings.
The intuitive yet simple Zone Controller offers control of up to 8 zones individually, connection of up to 5 temperature sensors with sensor as- signment and averaging capabilities, a weekly time clock feature encompassing individual zone scheduling, and an intelligent air-flow control through Automatic Fan Speed mode selection.
CASSETTE SYSTEMS
Ranging in cooling capacity from 5kw to 13kw, the 4-way cassettes are an economical and effec- tive way of air conditioning open areas with high occupancy or traffic, such as shops, restaurants and walkways. Incorporating DC Technology, the cassette range features inverter control and the ability to achieve superior operating efficiency.
The 5kw & 6kw cassettes are amongst the most compact on the market [570 x 570] and stand only 285mm high allowing easy installa- tion in the tightest of spaces.
