Our company will release new series of multi air conditioning system for buildings “AIRSTAGE®” from the middle of January for air conditioner market in North America and accelerate the development of ductless market.
We will strengthen the lineup of energy saving products from small-size to large-size models adding 3 models of J-II series which achieved the industry’s top(*1) energy saving performance for all models to “AIRSTAGE” V-II and VR-II series.
In North America, under the severe energy saving regulations, the demand for multi air conditioning system is increasing as it can control the room temperature in detail by each room unlike conventional central air conditioning system and utilizing characteristics of individual air conditioning system excelling in the energy saving performance.
Under these circumstances, we developed J-II series of small capacity type enhancing the energy saving performance significantly for small-scale buildings and large-size houses.
The new series is capable to connect one outdoor unit with 6 indoor units (AOU36RLAVM) to 9 indoor units (AOU60RLAVM) and realized the industry’s top(*1) energy saving performance for all models by adopting “High efficient fan”, “DC fan motor”, “High density multi-path heat exchanger” for outdoor unit and achieving energy consumption efficiency SEER198 in 48,000Btu/h class. Also, the easiness of installation was improved with maximum pipe length 180m and maximum height difference between outdoor unit and indoor unit 50m.
Since entering the North American market in 1996, we have been strengthening the lineup of energy saving products and will further expand the business by accelerating the speed of developing the ductless air conditioning system market.
“AIRSTAGE®” J-II series

Main features
- 1. Realizing industry’s top(*1) energy saving performance for all models in the North American market
- 2. Realizing high installation flexibility and simplified work
- 3. Abundant product lineup of indoor units and controllers
1. Realizing industry’s top(*1) energy saving performance for all models in the North American market
Our company has been developing high energy saving models in the North American air conditioner market always leading the industry since the new energy saving regulations started in 2006.
In the new model “AIRSTAGE” J-II series, we realized the industry’s top(*1) energy saving performance for all models in 48,000Btu class such as achieving the energy period consumption efficiency SEER:19.8/ HSPF:11.4.
| Model Name | AOU36RLAVM (36,000Btu/h) |
AOU48RLAVM (48,000Btu/h) |
AOU60RLAVM (60,000Btu/h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEER | 19.0 | 19.8 | 18.5 |
| HSPF | 11.4 | 11.4 | 11.3 |
Note: SEER/HSPF is the value when combining Non_Ducted indoor unit
1) Realizing industry’s top(*1) energy saving performance for all models by our original energy saving technology
By reviewing the structure of outdoor unit, we realized the industry’s top energy saving performance for all models in North America adopting “High efficient fan”, “DC motor fan”, “High density multi path heat exchanger”, “Inverter control” and “High efficient DC rotary compressor”.

- By adopting high efficiency fan and DC fan motor, the energy saving performance was achieved securing high air volume while maintaining low input power and low noise operation.
- By adopting the high density 3-row heat exchanger using φ7mm coper pipe, the high capacity of 60,000Btu in small size was realized.
- By combining the high efficiency rotary compressor with our original L-PAM inverter system, both high capacity and high energy saving performance were realized.
2. Realizing high installation flexibility and simplified work
1) High installation flexibility by long-pipe design
Regarding pipe-length from outdoor unit, the installation with total pipe length 180m and maximum pipe length 120m and height difference of up to 50m is possible. Herewith, the installation for such limited place as high-rise buildings in urban area and the place with crowded buildings is possible.
2) Flexible installation according to the purpose of building is possible
Due to the multi air conditioner for buildings of small capacity in which it is easy to divide air conditioning zone within the building, the flexible installation according to the purpose of building for each tenant or floor is possible and the user-friendly air conditioning system is made available.
Flexible installation according to the purpose and style of buildings
Store/ Small office
Condominium
Large-size detached house/
low-rise building
3) Simplified setting work when installing by providing automatic address setting function and miss-installation check function
Automatic address setting function and miss-installation check function are equipped on the outdoor unit. As the setting of outdoor unit and indoor unit at the time of installation can be made by the work of only indoor unit, the setting work time can be shortened. Also, by the miss-installation check function, the wring check at the time of installation can be made easily to reduce the miss-connection.
3. Abundant product lineup of indoor units and controllers
1) Lineup of indoor units
Abundant lineup of indoor units was built up by adding vertical duct type which is highly demanded in the North American market in addition to standardizing large capacity type of multi air conditioners for buildings and indoor units.
