Fujitsu adds mini VRF on R32
Fujitsu has launched the latest version of its J-Series heat pump mini VRF system, now operating on lower-GWP R32 refrigerant and delivering significant improvements in efficiency.
The AIRSTAGE J-VS is the result of two decades of development and multiple upgrades as this year marks the 20th anniversary of the product affectionately dubbed ‘Little Napoleon’.
Aimed at small to medium-sized commercial applications or large residential spaces, the J-VS is available in capacities from 12-15kW. The compact, single-fan chassis has a volume of just 0.3m3 (17% less than previous model) and a weight of only 74kg, aiding installation in tight spaces.
Up to 13 indoor units can be connected from a new range including compact 4-way cassettes, low static slim ducted and high efficiency ducted units, alongside wall-mounted options. This line-up includes additional 1.7kW models and, due to heat exchanger optimisation, a new 1.1kW slim ducted unit.
Compressor innovation improves seasonal efficiencies up to a possible 8.27 SEER (up to 36% increase from previous model) and 5.37 SCOP (up to 33% increase from previous model).
