Fujitsu General Air Conditioning UK has added a new ‘soft-black’ version to its AIRSTAGE wall mount range that can be connected to split and multi-split systems. Operating on lower GWP R32 refrigerant and available in capacities from 2 to 4.2kW, the new unit (model ASEH**KMCG-B) has a compact chassis depth of just 220mm, thanks to the design of its high-density multipath heat exchanger. Built-in Wi-Fi capability makes it controllable via the AIRSTAGE Mobile app, with service and maintenance improved due to refrigerant cycle data being displayed on a compatible wired controller.
Cooling is available between -10°C and 50°C, with heating
from -15°C. The large louvre design enables the unit to achieve a Seasonal Energy Effi ciency Ratio (SEER) of up to 8.4 in heating mode and a Seasonal Coeffi cient of Performance (SCOP) of 4.6 for cooling. The large cross-fl ow fan aids effi ciency and ensures eff ective
airfl ow, which is achieved with quiet operating levels as low as 20dB(A) in cooling.
A 20m pipe length and 10m elevation is possible on all models, which are pre-charged for 15m of pipework. This removes the potential additional installation cost of refrigerant charges on site. The unit contains an ion deodorising fi lter and an apple catechin
fi lter, which breaks down odours and uses static electricity to capture fi ne dust particles. Martyn Ives, commercial director at Fujitsu, said: “The soft- black unit certainly attracted a lot of attention on the stand at InstallerSHOW. The matt texture of the fascia means that it doesn’t refl ect ceiling lights as the mirror-style units do and it fi ts in with what customers are demanding in terms of interior design.”

A new moving-belt cycle/blast freezer based on Bitzer Ecoline compressors on R-449A enables food producers to increase production in space- restricted sites, while delivering excellent cooling performance, energy effi ciency and reliability. David Thirtle AirCon and Refrigeration went back to the drawing board to overcome the problems associated with traditional bulky industrial freezers, that can be diffi cult to accommodate and service. The new British designed and built BBF500 cycle freezer uses innovative cycle crust freezing technology to ensure rapid, uniform freezing or crusting, preserving product quality and extending shelf life. It can be used with a wide range of food products, including seafood, meat, cheese and bakery products. All components are sourced in the UK where possible, and assembled in Cambridgeshire and Tredegar, Wales, so spare parts are readily available from local suppliers, and in the case of the compressor, from Bitzer UK / Green Point UK and approved wholesalers, reducing maintenance costs. The fi rst units to roll-off the production line have been installed at a leading meat processor in Wales, which supplies national UK supermarkets.
With a capacity of up to 500kg per hour, the BBF500 is designed for high-volume production, integrating with industry-standard TVI GSA 400 slicer and similar food preparation machines, ensuring a seamless production line. Product and process temperatures can be set between -25 and -42°C, enabling quality to be optimised across a wide range of applications. Equipped with a Siemen’s controller, belt speed can be fi nely tuned to suit the product.
The compact stainless-steel unit, measuring H 2.41m x L 2.4m x W 2.2 m and with a 900mm wide moving belt, has full factory internal specifi cation to withstand the demands of industrial freezing environments. Bespoke variants can be made to suit requirements on specifi c sites. The company is now developing two higher capacity cycle crust
freezers, the BBF800 and BBF1200, with outputs of 780kg and 1200kg per hour respectively. David Thirle blast cycle freezer :
