This line of installation accessories is designed for all brands of ductless mini-split systems (DMSS) and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) or variable refrigerant volume (VRV) equipment. 

Over the past decade, many efficient construction methods and technologies have been integrated into the single-family residential, municipal, government, and light commercial markets. But, one sector has lagged: multi-family condominiums and apartments.

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) High-Ambient-Temperature Evaluation Program for low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants aims to develop an understanding of the performance of low-GWP alternative refrigerants to HCFC and HFC refrigerants in mini-split air conditioners under high-ambient-temperature conditions.

Because of the mixed-use nature of church buildings, broad range of room sizes, and long vacancy periods punctuated by short stints of high occupancy, many congregations, especially those exploring retrofit projects, have turned to mini-split heating and cooling technologies in the past decade. More recently, commercial VRF systems have added even more capability, simplicity, and efficiency to the already vast number of possibilities offered by ductless technology.

Sharp Electronics Corp. is exhibiting its new ductless mini split lineup in booth 4762 at the AHR Expo. The company’s new models are designed to operate in extra low temperatures and have one of the industry’s best SEER and HSPF ratings. They also feature Sharp’s patented air purification technology Plasmacluster.

Panasonic is introducing the new EXTERIOS XE Series. With models ranging from 9,000 Btu to 15,000 Btu, this series offers many years of energy efficient indoor climate control. The built-in and improved ECONAVI not only detects room occupancy and motion but also incorporates an area search function to direct airflow where needed.
