Thermofrost Cryo upgrades to Vision


With some refrigerant prices shooting up, Thermofrost Cryo has traded in the R410A Sinclair Element for the more technologically advanced R32 Sinclair Vision.


I


n 2014, Thermofrost Cryo was looking to run a summer promotion for a low cost wall-mounted air conditioning system. The brief was to find an exclusive, reliable and energy efficient product where a market competitive price could be set independently as a sole importer. Following a visit to the Mostra Convegno trade show in Milan, an agreement was reached to market a selection of the Sinclair range in the UK. Wall-mounted split systems from 2.5kW to 6.5kW were offered in four models.


The promotion was a great success and the whole consignment was sold over summer. In addition, reliability proved to be excellent, leading to a repeat of the promotion in 2015.


Fast-forward to 2018 and the demand for the product has increased further. Stock is now imported in 40ft containers direct from the factory, to ensure availability of the range year-round. Split system air conditioners are currently undergoing a well- documented refrigerant change from R410A to R32 and the Sinclair range is no exception. The 2018 range will progress from the R410A ‘Element’ range to the new R32 ‘Vision’ product which, in addition, will feature WiFi compatibility as standard for the first time.

The Vision range will be also available in four models offering 2.5kW, 3.2kW, 4.6kW and 6.2kW inverter heat pump systems. It is capable of operating down to -15°C in heating and cooling mode and operates in ambient temperatures up to 43°C.


There will be a new IR remote control for 2018 with an ‘I Feel’ function. Hard-wired control will be available as an optional extra, as will centralised control for multiple systems. These improvements will allow the Sinclair range to offer unrivalled specification to cost benefit for UK installers.


Although the Sinclair range is very comprehensive, to date only wall- mounted systems have been marketed in the UK by Thermofrost Cryo. However, as the R32 range develops there may be scope to widen the offering available, while maintaining the requirement for highly competitive pricing levels.


As GWP quotas have taken effect in Europe, R410A refrigerant prices have increased dramatically. In turn, equipment using the refrigerant has also seen significant price hikes. The good news is that 2018 selling prices for the R32 Vison range will remain almost identical to last year.
