Fujitsu General Australia has launched its new wall-mounted reverse cycle Comfort range, featuring six models from 2.5kW to 7.1kW cooling capacity.
Kyle Rafter, Head of Product ANZ, Fujitsu General, says the Comfort range was designed to ensure maximum value and user satisfaction, combining energy efficient features and award-winning design.
“It is important that Australians have complete control of their indoor climate when outdoor conditions are unpredictable,” says Rafter. “Everyone should feel like their home is the most comfortable place to be, and the new Comfort range can help deliver that feeling.
“This range provides an optimal performance in hotter climates, with an increased cooling operation range up to 50°C ambient temperature while remaining energy efficient and visually appealing.”
The Comfort range uses R32 refrigerant, which Fujitsu General says improves heat transfer compared to the commonly used R410A refrigerant. R32 has a 67 per cent lower global warming potential (GWP) factor while still maintaining performance.
Comfort range units display the Zoned Energy Rating Label (ZERL) and have a hot climate energy performance of up to five stars in a hot climate in cooling mode, and are Demand Enabled Response (DRED) compatible.
Fujitsu General says the new range’s super-quiet mode means fans operate at low speed and produce less noise.
“Powerful operation mode allows the system to reach the setting temperature quickly, and precise temperature control enables the temperature setting to be adjusted by 0.5°C increments using the wireless remote control,” says the company.
Other features include up/down swing louvre, auto changeover and auto restart to maintain ideal comfort levels. Control is enabled via a simple-to-use wireless remote controller.
Fujitsu General says its Comfort range was designed to be reliable and able to withstand harsh climates, with silicone coating on high voltage components and blue fin treatment to the outdoor heat exchanger, which improves its resistance to corrosion.
The new range comes with a five-year parts and labour warranty.
The Comfort range was awarded the Red Dot Design Award and the Good Design Award from the Japan Institute of Design Promotion.
