INTRODUCTION
This range of 8 air cooled condensing units and heat pumps covers the range of 3.3 to 13kW in
cooling mode.
All condensing units are factory fitted with head pressure control and mains isolator as
standard.
The range is custom designed for a small footprint, low noise level, slimline and aesthetically
pleasing appearance and lend themselves to wall mounting applications. These units can be
used with many Airedale products from the mini split Answer Cassette and Concept 2000 units,
Comfort modular comfort products and close control products. They can also be utilised as heat
rejection equipment for applications featuring other cooling units.
