Toshiba Introduces New Compact Single-Fan VRF Condensing Units For Restricted Spaces

Toshiba Air Conditioning has introduced two new compact models of single-fan inverter-based VRF outdoor condensing units, for use in applications with restricted space.

They are based on Toshiba’s highly regarded twin-rotary direct current compressor.The units feature a new large diameter fan propeller, designed to move large volumes of air with low sound levels (see left). The fan includes innovative anti-eddy projections tominimise turbulence and further improve efficiency. The 4hp version (MCY-MHP0406HT-E) offers cooling duty of up to 12.1kW, and heating up to 12.5kW, while the 5hp unit (MCY-MHP0506HT-E) delivers up to 14kW of cooling and 16kW of heating.
