R32 goes commercial, VRF to follow in 2022
The new expanded range and redesign include several improvements and modifications, such as the electrics which are contained in a steel en- closure and cooled to prevent overheating of the PCB. The same enclosure also serves as a protec- tive device to keep out those pesky vermin look- ing for a warm place to sleep at night.
The SDI range of Light Commercial prod- ucts features a leak detection system, and the all-new fan blade design delivers improved air- flow. The new fan blade coupled with the in- creased surface area of the redesigned heat ex- changer pushes efficiencies higher than its predecessors.
Confidence in Toshiba Air Conditioning prod- ucts amongst dealers and installers has always been strong, so it comes as no surprise that Toshiba is backing its product with a leading 7-Year parts and labour Warranty.
The warranty extends to Residential applica- tions but applies to the entire range of Toshiba products, from Hi-Wall splits, Multi Splits Light Commercial systems, including VRF.
As with all Toshiba air conditioning products and systems, Caione said the hallmarks of the new R32 products are thoughtful design and manufacture for exceptional build quality, out- standing durability, and highest industry relia- bility. No compromises.
AHIC AUSTRALIA HAS announced its sup- port for R32 with a wide range of Toshiba air con- ditioning products making the switch to the low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant.
A comprehensive selection of Toshiba prod- ucts across Hi-Wall, Multi Split, Ducted, and light commercial ranges will move to R32 refrig- erant in 2021, with VRF, planned for early 2022.
Imports of R410A single splits systems will cease immediately, with multi-splits and light commercial products introduced on a progres- sive basis through 2021, according to Vijay Drav- id, AHIC Head of Sales & marketing, Australia and New Zealand
“IMPORTS OF R410A SINGLE SPLIT SYSTEMS WILL CEASE IMMEDIATELY.”
“The switch to R32 represents the most signif- icant product range expansion and realignment for Toshiba Australia in recent years, and not simply from a refrigerant and range standpoint but product features, aesthetics and smarts,” Dravid said.
To replace the R410a products, Dravid said the company is introducing an expanded line of R32 single split Hi-Walls featuring five different ranges.
The four new high wall R32 models provide entry-tier to high-level operational and comfort features that will match every residential room, no matter what size and function.
Dravid said the affordable and compact Seiya combines quiet efficiency and high performance in seven sizes where moderate functionality is required, such as bedrooms.
He said the mid-range Seiya Classic is availa- ble in 10 sizes to suit small-to-large frequently used rooms where energy efficiency and stylish looks meet the need for low ambient noise and added functionality such as 3D smart airflow and indoor air quality.
For the more astute customer, the Shorai range provides the ultimate comfort and style with all the features of the Seiya Classic plus pre- mium plasma air filtration, optimised energy consumption, a fireplace mode, and a clever out- door unit noise reduction function for added neighbourhood comfort.
For the most discerning customer, Dravid said the Haori and Daiseikai 9 provide the ultimate comfort and style flexibility.
“All Toshiba’s R32 high wall units have a dis- crete elegance that will blend and harmonise with contemporary or traditional decors,” he said.
For customers who prefer more usable wall space. Toshiba’s floor-standing console units are available in three sizes with bi-flow air delivery, air filtration and direc-
tional floor heating to provide a comfortable and flexible air con- ditioning solution.
For users requiring discreet in- stallation, ducted indoor units are just 210 mm in height and include adjustable external static air pres- sure and optional air filtration.
