Indoor Air Quality
JUST IN TIME FOR SUMMER A RANGE OF INNOVATIVE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS IS BEING LAUNCHED BY SYDNEY-BASED COMPANY, HARBOUR CITY AIR.
Proof that size really does matter
THE COMPANY'S RANGE of floor, wall and ducted units are unique in that they don’t re- quire an outdoor condensing unit, saving space and reducing installation time.
Stylish in design, these systems come com- plete with smart inbuilt technologies creating a “plug and play” HVAC solution, ideal for condi- tioning small spaces such as apartments and hotels, according to Habour City's general man- ager, Tony Power.
“Finding the space to fit HVAC equipment is a perennial problem especially in existing stra- ta apartments and heritage buildings where there is simply not the room to place an un- sightly condensing unit,” Power said.
“We are already fielding calls from aged care providers and specifiers, they see where this tech- nology can really help them solve this problem.”
There are a range of units available com- mencing with the Italian made Innova 2.0 in- verter units capable of providing comfort con- ditions for small areas up to 25 square metres.
These 2.3Kw reverse cycle systems are MEPS approved and come with a comprehensive 2 years parts and labour warranty.
Power said installation is no more complicat- ed than hanging a clothes dryer, the only addi- tional requirement being that the unit is mounted on an external wall where two core holes can be drilled allowing for the condenser air movement.
Available in two model configurations, one can be wall mounted in any position.
The floor mounted unit is only 450mm wide
making it ideal for those areas with very lim- ited space.
Both models can be optioned with Innova’s unique atomiser unit which nebulises condensate to just water vapour discharging it to the outside.
For larger requirements there is a range of Po- laris “Ducted Hideaway” units which will be available in October 2018.
Designed in Australia for local conditions and built to rigorous standards these units car- ry the latest high efficiency hydrocarbon natu- ral refrigerant.
Utilising inverter technology these units are very energy efficient. Enhancing their “green” credentials, Power said they also have a GWP rating of just 3.0.
Installation consists of bolting the unit to the slab or mounting location and attaching up to six metres of acoustic flex duct for condenser air discharge.
Installers then attach the required ductwork and connect the unit to a 240v pow-
er supply.
All units come with a pre-wired controller as well a condensate pump fitted, quite literally then a plug and play installation.
“No complex pipework is required which is why we estimate that the installation time is halved com- pared to conventional HVAC units,” Power said.
Available in 3Kw and 10Kw ver- sions the Polaris units are ideal for
the retrofit of water cooled systems that are coming to end of life as well as for new builds.
The 3Kw system can fit into a bulkhead as small as 300mm and has attracted great inter- est from apartment architects and builders.
Like the Innova models, the Polaris units also carry a two year parts and labour warranty.
“If size really does matter and efficiency is an issue or you simply no longer want to look at an ugly condenser unit then this new range of air conditioning units will solve your problems,” Power said. ✺
ABOVE: This range of floor, wall and ducted units are ideal for apartments because they don’t require an outdoor condensing unit, saving space and installation time.
BELOW: The units can be wall mounted, in any position.
