ENERGY SAVING EQUIPMENT
to support them on their journey to net zero. as easy and cost-
effective to install. But there are a number of other advantages to installing RTUs over conventional systems. Firstly, the latest RTUs have a great range of
energy efficient features that can help reduce a building’s carbon footprint. As they make excellent use of the outdoor climate to heat and cool buildings, they can also be highly cost- effective. Secondly, positioned high up on the roof, RTUs can help save space. Since all the components are enclosed within the unit, they free up valuable ground space for other purposes, allowing every square foot of internal and external space to be utilised. Versatility is another advantage. Their modular design allows quick and easy upgrading to suit the changing needs of a building – adding or removing modules to match current heating and cooling requirements. Due to their location, rooftop units also minimise the intrusion of unwanted noise within the building as any sounds emitted stay outside, avoiding unnecessary distraction for building occupants.
Another benefit of placing the air conditioner
on the roof is improved security. Rooftop units can be an added deterrent to theft and vandalism, and their elevated location also protects the mechanism from dirt, dust and other debris that may cause accidental damage. All air conditioning systems require regular maintenance to ensure they remain in peak operating condition, but having a rooftop system makes it much more accessible for engineers
without causing
disruption to the day-to-day operation of your building.
Introducing the new Vectios range As part of Carrier Global Corporation, CIAT is dedicated to providing healthy, safe, sustainable and intelligent building and cold chain solutions. Last November, we launched a new range of
Vectios™ rooftop air conditioning units operating on lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant R-454B, designed for optimum energy efficiency from the ground up. With a GWP of 466, R-454B's overall carbon footprint is more than 80% lower than HFC R-410A, the refrigerant commonly used in older RTUs. The combination of lower GWP, improved seasonal efficiency and reduced refrigerant charge with the new Vectios enables end-users to significantly reduce their carbon footprint by replacing high GWP R-410A-based RTUs. Available in cooling capacities from 23 to 91kW and heating capacities from 22 to 90kW, Vectios on R-454B offers an optimum solution for rooftop applications. In addition, our VectiosPowerTM model further extends our range with cooling capacities from 98 to 273kW and heating capacities from 97 to 300kW. As supermarkets and other end users seek to decarbonise and cut their energy costs, our extended range of R-454B refrigerant options provide a ready-made solution

Vectios on R-454B is as space-saving and quiet- running as the acclaimed previous generation, while significantly reducing
environmental impact and delivering higher efficiencies and lower operating costs for end users. With energy prices rising sharply, this is a crucial issue for retailers and other customers. Advanced indoor air quality options available
on Vectios, such as high-efficiency filtration, fine airflow control and CO2
sensors, support the
highest levels of comfort and wellbeing, and align with our #CIAT4life initiative to create healthier indoor environments.
Equipment performance is certified under the
Eurovent scheme, giving end users complete confidence in the cooling and heating capacities, airflow and efficiency claimed. In addition, Vectios and VectiosPower – in both refrigerant versions – were the first rooftop units registered under the internationally recognised Ecopassport® program, which is based on the ISO 14025 Environmental Product Declaration standard. Together, the Vectios and VectiosPower R-454B
ranges represent one of the largest offerings with the new refrigerant from a single manufacturer. For installers, Vectios units are designed to be easy to lift and position on site, and, once in place, simply require air ducts and electrical connection, making installation quick and easy. Vectios units on R-454B also support Carrier’s 2030 Environmental, Social and Governance goals4 to reduce our carbon footprint by more than one gigaton.
