AIR CONDITIONING & AIR QUALITY


In 2017 Fujitsu General signed a strategic collaboraon agreement with HVAC product manufacturer, GI Holding (GIH) Group, to develop a range of both residenal and commercial air condioners. This partnership also unlocked the opportunity for Fujitsu General Air Condioning UK to supply a full range of Clint liquid chillers and Montair close control systems  both Clint and Montair being historical brands from the GIH porolio

Innovation and customisation key to HVAC partnership


he new GIH headquarters are located in Latisana, Northern Italy with a 1,500m2 showroom and training facility named ‘The Cooling Academy’. As a result of the agreement, as well as their own dedicated academies, Fujitsu will now be able to use GIH’s Academy for the technical training of GIH products for UK customers. The Latisana headquarters also feature a manufacturing plant for small and medium sized chillers, complimenting similar product ranges produced in the other GIH plants; Rivignano Teor, Piove di Sacco (Italy) and Biatorbagy, Gimek Zrt (Hungary).

Recent investment has seen the installation of a climatic chamber at the Rivignano Teor plant. The climactic chamber allows in-house testing of air- cooled chillers up to 1.6MW and water-cooled chillers up to 3.5MW, in a range of ambient temperatures from -20˚C to 55˚C.


GIH offers an extensive range of liquid chillers, heat pumps and multifunctional ‘four pipe units’, with cooling capacities ranging between 50kW and 3.8MW and a variety of refrigerant options. Maintaining personability through bespoke design is a core strength and has seen GIH offer customised solutions to complex projects, such as the refurbishment of the Taby Centrum, one of Sweden’s largest shopping centres. Boasting 260 stores, restaurants and cafes along with a cinema complex, the aim of this project was to provide a cooling system with the lowest possible environmental impact; reducing the


total equivalent warming impact (TEWI) of the installation.


Focusing on long-term environmental impact during design stages has seen GIH develop products designed to use ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants such as the HFO – R1234ze, with a GWP of less than 1. This highly efficient refrigerant formed the solution for the Taby Centrum project utilised in five Turbocor compressors with a cooling capacity of 3.2MW. Ian Carroll, chief operating officer, Fujitsu General Air Conditioning UK, says: “The innovation and flexibility that GIH demonstrate, makes them an ideal partner, especially when applying our newly available chiller products into the UK market. They have focused on alternative refrigerant options to assist F-Gas phase down, and in doing so negates future complications with current HFC refrigerants, such as availability and increases in price.


“The joint development of the Fujitsu’s mini chillers will see the combined efforts of Fujitsu’s proven, quality assured inverter and compressor technologies, applied with the specialist hydronic knowledge of GIH. The result will be products of the highest quality with cutting edge technologies. A true testament to the substantial expertise and investment available between the two organisations.” Projects resulting from the new partnership have already commenced in the UK, with over 83 close control Montair systems, both water and air-cooled, being installed. Taking advantage of top and bottom air discharge options, BMS connectivity and customisable features, such as rota lock compressor
