the Australian market. These units are an ex- tension of the successful Danfoss Optyma range released 12 months ago by Airefrig in Australia. Adding to the successful Optyma Slim range, these units have been developed to be energy ef- ficient and have very low noise levels.
The Plus Inverter is fitted with a VSD which has been specifically designed for the Danfoss compressors. Exclusively available through Airefrig, the Optyma condensing unit range provide Australian contractors with a value for money condensing unit that offers clients a versatile and future proof solution.
The latest development for the Enthalpy con- densing unit range is the new option of CRII with CM-RC module fitted to the condensing units. This option has been developed by Bitzer and has been used globally for successful ca- pacity control. This new option has been in- cluded to reduce running costs and increase the energy efficiency of the condensing unit.
EC fans have continued to gain traction in the market due to their proven results and re- duction in energy consumption. Airefrig has continued to do major refurbishment projects with customers, in conjunction with ebm- papst, their major supplier of EC fans. Airefrig now stock a full range of ebm-papst EC fans up to 1000mm for both condensers and air han- dling units.
Demand for transcritical CO2 has started to grow in the Australian market, this has led to Airefrig stocking the full range of Mueller CO2 copper tube for 130 and 60 bar, as well as fit- tings to compliment. They have also started to stock valves and the CO2 refrigerant to cover market demand.
In conjunction with A-Gas Rapid Recovery, Airefrig has been offering the fastest solution to refrigerant recovery in Australia. A-Gas

The sales team in conjunc- tion with key technical support personnel from its suppliers have conducted regular product training and information sessions. Airefrig has worked with Bitzer, Danfoss, ebm- papst, Carel and A-Gas Rapid Recovery and
