Fujitsu is updating its two-pipe heat pump VRF offering with the launch of the new Fujitsu Airstage V III range with more sizes and numerous new features.

The new range replaces the five-year-old V II and adopts many features from the latest three-pipe VR II equipment.

While the popular V II range had five outdoor models ranging from 22.5kW to 45kW, the V III has an additional 50kW model, with all sizes now using a single DC compressor, rather than the two that were used in the previous 40kW and 45kW models. This results in lower starting currents and improved part-load performance.

The extra model provides additional combination options up to 150kW, a substantial increase on the previous 135kW maximum.

Almost all EER and COP rates in the range have been improved, with the 22.5kW unit having a heating COP of 4.84 and a cooling EER of 4.31.

The maximum number of connectable indoor units is 64 with a maximum connectable capacity of up to 150%. The pipe length from the first separation tube to the furthest indoor unit has now been increased to 90m.

Says Fujitsu Air Conditioning's sales and marketing director Ian Carroll: "This is just the first of a raft of innovations we will be launching over the coming months, all developed with the help of feedback from the market. Our aim is to provide exactly the types of products that contractors, specifiers and end users are asking for."
