Panasonic Australia has announced the availability of the Mini FSV air conditioning system for the residential and commercial markets.
The Mini FSV is a reverse cycle VRF system specifically designed for the most demanding applications where precise cooling or heating load control is needed, such as offices, shops and multi-storey apartments. It is available now through the specialist dealer network.
The Mini FSV system enables a single outdoor unit to power up to nine indoor units. The indoor units can be a mix of wall mounted, cassette, mini cassette and mid and low static pressure ducted units. It offers a range of benefits including a wide variety of control options to meet the requirements of different applications. These include group control, web control and building management system integration.
Other advantages include flexible indoor unit selection to suit every room, independent operation of all connected indoor units, less complex installation and piping and improved building aesthetics due to less outdoor units required as well as being demand response ready to deliver optimum performance at a lower rate of power consumption.
Shane Quinn, product marketing manager, air conditioning, Panasonic Australia, said, “this new Mini FSV air conditioner system offers multiple control options for a variety of installations. With these expanded control options it is possible to precisely cool or heat where it is needed in a building,” Quinn said.
Each indoor unit directly communicates its load requirements to a single outdoor unit which manages the load. This reduces the risk of a cooling capacity shortage when compared to a conventional system. The unit takes advantage of Panasonic inverter technology, used in all of the company’s air conditioning products, significantly reducing energy consumption.
Additionally, the Mini FSV allows flexibility with piping design, allowing a height difference of up to 50m between outdoor and indoor units and a maximum piping length of 150m.
Up to 45 different indoor unit models are available and up to nine indoor units can be connected to a single outdoor unit. This allows for a suitable architectural and consumption match for each user.
