Bryant said its high-wall, duct-free split system heat pump, with either Puron® or R-22 refrigerant, is designed to provide heating and cooling for those applications where ductwork is not available or practical. It said its whisper-quiet indoor unit has optional color panels. Meanwhile, the outdoor unit can be installed as few as 6 inches from an outdoor wall, and can be stacked for multiple installations at the same job site. The system can also support long line applications, with up to 200 feet between the outdoor and indoor units, it said.

Fujitsu General America recently introduced three new ductless split systems, enlarging its Halcyon line of R-410A inverter wall-mounted air conditioners and heat pumps. The company said its new equipment offers ultra-high efficiency - with ratings of up to 20 SEER and 10.0 HSPF. The Halcyon lineup now includes 29 systems with capacity ranges of 9,000 to 42,000 Btu, it said. The new systems include the 15RLQ, a 15,000 Btu, 20 SEER, Energy Star®-qualified heat pump; the 18RLQ, an 18,000 Btu, 19 SEER heat pump, equipped with an IAQ plasma air filter; and the 24RLQ, a 24,000 Btu, 18 SEER Halcyon heat pump. According to the manufacturer, standard features include wireless remote control, plasma filter, sleep timer, 24-hour timer, dry mode, auto louver, auto mode, quiet mode, auto restart/reset, auto changeover and efficient operation with low, or high, ambient temperatures. These models feature coil dry mode, designed to help inhibit mold and bacteria growth by reversing the cycle of refrigerant to dry out condensation in the indoor coil without changing room temperature, it said.

Mitsubishi Electric HVAC Advanced Products Division recently unveiled its new Mr. Slim® M-Series line of inverter-driven, cooling-only, and heat pump products. Pictured is the MSZ-A09NA indoor model, which the manufacturer said has a cooling capacity of 9,000 Btuh and a heating capacity of 10,900 Btuh. According to Mitsubishi, the Mr. Slim MSZ-A09NA model qualifies for Energy Star-Tier 2 with a SEER of 17.0, an EER of 13.0, and an HPSF of 8.2. It said the model has sound ratings as low as 22 decibels, noting the quiet operation is the result of a reduction in refrigerant noise and new unit design. The M-Series also offers a variety of control settings, “giving each individual end user the flexibility to meet their desired temperature conditioning in all climate types.”

The Airedale cassette units are designed to “effectively make each area served an independent controlled-temperature zone,” said the company. To properly match units to job requirements, cassette units are available in a choice of two models: DX cooling (13 SEER) with five sizes, and chilled-water cooling, with six sizes. Optional heating can be provided by factory-installed electric heat or hot-water modules, depending on model, said the company. Design techniques are incorporated to reduce noise levels. These techniques include low blower speeds, rigid panel and cabinet construction, and sound-absorbent cabinet insulation, the company said. For individual comfort, Airedale cassettes are equiped with a wall-mounted thermostat. For even more flexibility, an optional microprocessor-based controller with an infrared transmitter is available, designed to enable room conditions to be maintained at a user-defined set point.

UNITED COOLAIR

www.unitedcoolair.com
United CoolAir Corp. said its MiniCool ductless system operates much like other ductless systems, using wall- or ceiling-mounted evaporators. But unlike most other condensing sections that require an outdoor location, MiniCool is completely internal to the building, it said. According to the manufacturer, this key feature gives contractors flexibility to install ductless systems in high-rise buildings. When using a MiniCool air-cooled system, the condensing section can be positioned at or near an outside wall. Standard ducting can be installed as needed to exhaust waste heat outside or to a suitable area using a centrifugal blower, the company said. In situations where ducting waste heat is not an option, the MiniCool can be specified with a water-cooled condensing section. And for even greater flexibility, United CoolAir said it has engineered the MiniCool condensing section to be split up to 250 equivalent feet from the fan coils. The MiniCool can be tailored to suit any project specification with a combination of evaporators, circuits, tonnage requirements, and options, it said.
