Carrier has introduced IdroFan 36XH, a next generation of high-efficiency, hybrid hydronic terminal unit specifically designed for hotels and hospitality venues with intermittent occupancy.
The new IdroFan 36XH is a hybrid hydronic terminal that can operate as a stand-alone unit to maintain stable, comfortable conditions for guests, while delivering energy-efficient operation, reduced running costs and flexibility for building owners. Connected to a high-performance Carrier air handling unit, IdroFan 36XH provides enhanced indoor air quality by delivering filtered, conditioned fresh air to the space. To further enhance indoor air quality and occupant well-being, an optional integrated carbon dioxide sensor can be fitted to the terminal unit.
The design of IdroFan 36XH combines the efficiency of air induction ventilation with the high heating and cooling capacity of a fan coil. The hydronic hybrid terminal range includes three unit sizes, all available in two-pipe or four-pipe configurations, in capacities up to 8.79kW heating and 4.7kW cooling. It features three operating modes, Eco/Quiet, Comfort/Quiet and Active Fan/Boost, to address the different requirements of intermittently occupied rooms, ensuring comfortable conditions at all times for guests and minimising operating costs.
When outdoor conditions are favourable, the system offers free-cooling, further enhancing energy-efficiency in cooling mode and during night-time operation.
Carrier’s IdroFan 36XH is backed by a certified Product Environmental Profile, useful for building sustainability assessments for certification standards such as BREEAM and LEED. The compact system is designed for easy positioning on site, and quick access during installation, commissioning and maintenance. Energy-efficient solutions such as IdroFan 36XH support Carrier’s 2030 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Goals.
