Johnson Controls-Hitachi Launches Sustainable Solutions for Commercial HVAC Customers in Singapore

• The newly launched high-performance VG and S Series chillers help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• The new systems align with the National Environment Agency's (NEA) latest initiative to gradually phase out air conditioning equipment that utilises refrigerants with high GWP.
• Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning's energy-efficient HVAC solutions support goals of Singapore's Climate Action Plan 2030.

Low-GWP refrigerants enable seamless energy transition

• The Direct-drive VSD Centrifugal Chiller VG Series^[2] features a high-speed VSD motor and gearless direct-drive two-stage compressor. This design increases efficiency for greater energy savings, crafted perfectly for commercial and industrial applications to lower energy consumption and operating costs while reducing the environmental impact of the cooling system.
• The Centrifugal Chiller S Series^[3] adopts a patented centrifugal two-stage compression technology and optimises the use of low-temperature cooling water to enhance performance, allowing the minimum inlet temperature to reach 12°C. Depending on the model, it offers a broad capacity range from 300 to 3000RT to meet various commercial and industrial building requirements.

Harnessing technology-driven, energy-efficient HVAC solutions for a greener future

In addition to utilising sustainable refrigerants, Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning Singapore is dedicated to developing energy-efficient HVAC solutions, supporting Singapore's goal of achieving carbon neutrality as outlined in its Climate Action Plan 2030^[4]. The following products are currently being offered in Singapore:

• The Hitachi air365 Max Pro^[5] Top Flow VRF system, with pioneering Japanese design and engineering, offers significant improvements in energy consumption. Powered by Hitachi's patented direct capacity control technology SmoothDrive 2.0, the air365 Max Pro enhances energy efficiency and temperature stability and ensures smoother compressor operation. SmoothDrive 2.0 uses 10% less refrigerant on average, ultimately reducing energy usage and carbon footprint by 47%. Additionally, the newly introduced airCloud Tap^[6] allows users to monitor unit data via their smartphones, enabling configuration and servicing to be performed up to four times faster than traditional methods.
• The Hitachi air365 SideSmart™^[7], the world's first slim modular Side Flow VRF system, is designed to adapt to diverse spaces and capacity needs. Its modularity allows for connection of up to four units, offering a capacity range of up to 72 HP and a combined cooling capacity of up to 200kW. Another advantage of air365 SideSmart™ modular air conditioning is its ability to reduce the overall refrigerant volume required, reducing emissions.
• The Hitachi airCore 700^[8], our flagship residential and light commercial inverter split system, equipped with R32 DC inverter compressor to deliver exceptional cooling and heating performance across a broad capacity range, offers efficient operation in diverse ambient conditions while maintaining uncompromised comfort. With R32 refrigerant, airCore 700 units boast a lower global warming potential (GWP) compared to those using R410A. The airCore 700 is also compatible with airCloud Go, allowing customers to connect air conditioners to a mobile app, helping to save energy and enhance comfort directly from a phone.
