TOSHIBA’S NEW TOUCH SCREEN AIR-CON
CONTROLLER Toshiba Air Conditioning (a division of Toshiba Carrier UK Limited) has introduced its long-awaited new flagship touchscreen air conditioning control solution.
The new 7in colour touchscreen controller offers unprecedented power and ease of use, enabling engineers and end users - even those unfamiliar with air conditioning - to control systems and optimise performance and indoor comfort.
With the ability to control up to 64 indoor units via a unique capacitive touchscreen, the new Toshiba controller marks a departure from conventional air conditioning controls based on slow-response resistive touchscreen technology.
It has a brilliantly clear colour display with pin-sharp graphical interface, providing lightning response to the operator’s touch commands. Unlike controllers from some other manufacturers, Toshiba’s new controller is not based on physical buttons but an intuitive touchscreen with icons, similar to a large smart phone.
According to Fraser Hymas,
HYBRID BLOWER 3400 PACKS HIGH
DRYING POWER Rapid drying and ventilation is within easy reach following the arrival of the latest blower in the Truvox International Limited Air Mover range.
The versatile Hybrid Blower 3400 is light and compact, yet within its robust body it has the power to generate a high airflow for faster drying of carpets, walls and ceilings.
More compact than a traditional blower, the Hybrid Blower 3400 is also highly flexible. The unit can be placed

flat on the ground, vertically, on its side against a wall or at a 20-degree angle to direct the airflow wherever it is most needed, reducing drying times.
Weighing just 8kg, the blower is easily moved around using its in- built carry handle.
and intuitive to use, without the need to refer to a manual, while enabling users to quickly access all functions with minimum layers to navigate.
In addition to primary control, alarm
and scheduling functions, and quick access to units and parameters, the controller also acts as a web server, enabling it to host web pages.
The system offers a host of powerful functions that extend its use, with future developments including:
• Energy monitoring with historical data backup
• Power meter pulse inputs for four air conditioning systems;
• The ability to take account of input from an outside air sensor
• The ability for alarms to be reported automatically to building supervisors via email;
• Potential to display floor plans for ease of unit location and control;
• A supervisor touch screen to link multiple controllers, to accommodate larger systems with more than 64 indoor units.
Toshiba’s control system manager, who headed the development of the new controller, a key element of the design brief was to make it simple
David Dunn, Toshiba’s general manager, said: “The new system is a major advance in air conditioning control technology, not just in terms of what it can do, but the way it does it – and its sheer ease of use.

In summer, the Hybrid Blower 3400 is well suited to cooling duties as its high-performance fan promotes air circulation and ventilation.
The unit has a three-speed switch for selecting the optimal airflow for the job. Its high-density Polypropylene body houses a 320W electric motor, generating airflows up to 2722FPM.
After flooding, carpet cleaning, floor sealing, plastering or painting, or in wet entrance lobbies during wet weather, the Hybrid Blower 3400 is equipped to make building spaces ready and safe for use – sooner.
