Taqeef, the originator of desert cooling systems in the UAE and the Middle East, has launched the region’s first range of invertor ducted split to further its commitment to supporting environment-friendly products
The new range by O General is the first complete line of invertor ducted split models, ranging from 1.5 tonnes to five tonnes, in the Middle East with zero Ozone Depleting Score (ODS) and the new environment friendly R32 refrigerant, ensuring a lower carbon footprint.
Specifically created for the Middle East region, the O General invertor range is a leader in cooling capacity, power consumption and low-noise capability. The range conforms to new technical regulations and guidelines issued by the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) and Abu Dhabi Quality Control and Conformity Council (QCC) for high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) values.
Hadi Ismail, chief sales officer at Taqeef said, “In a region where cooling is synonymous with quality of life, ensuring that the products we bring to the market are energy efficient has been, and always will be, our main priority. The new O General invertor range has been designed with the harsh climate and real-life operating conditions in the Middle East in mind. It achieves faster and more efficient cooling when compared to conventional air-conditioners, consumes less energy, and offer remarkable energy savings when compared to fixed speed compressor models.”
The DC invertor technology contains a DC fan motor with invertor control system that helps achieve high operation efficiency using a sine wave, and a DC twin rotary compressor. The implementation of the DC twin rotary compressor allows for wider operation range, improved piping limitations and the introduction of new simultaneous multioperation ability.
Taqeef will introduce the new range to industry professionals at an event on 6 October in Dubai. The event will showcase the indoor and outdoor units of the new range. The indoor unit can deliver fast-cooling, high airflow, and superior speed control mechanisms to ensure the ultimate comfortable environment. The outdoor unit is equipped with the tropical region specifications that withstands up to 55-degree harsh desert environments by using casing coating and blue fin heat exchanger coating.
