Most modern shops have air conditioning/heat pump systems fitted. These are normally single systems (for a small shop – up to 40m2), several systems for larger shop premises (guide: one system per 40m2 ), and multiple modular systems for large stores and retail sheds.

Generally the client will require ceiling Cassette type indoor units, or concealed Ducted units within a suspended ceiling. These types of systems leave all of the wall space clear for stock, displays, and lighting.

Cassette units are a very cost effective means of providing high performance cooling and heating systems, without the high cost of air distribution ductwork. Over 80,000 Cassette type systems are sold each year in the UK, mainly for shops and offices. They fit neatly into suspended ceilings or solid ceilings, and are very easy to maintain and service.

Mitsubishi FDTA Cassette systems can be linked together on one remote control, rather than have many controllers spread around the premises. It is possible to connect up to 16 systems on one remote controller.

Full information on the FDTVA/FDTCVA Cassette Recessed System range can be found in the Product section, which includes all technical information.

Ducted systems are more expensive to install because of the additional cost of air distribution ductwork. However, the shop designer may prefer special decorative air grilles or linear diffusers on view, rather than cassette units, which may not blend with the decorative finish.

Mitsubishi manufacture multi-systems suitable for larger area convenience stores and retail outlets (>50m2). A multi system consists of one large outdoor unit connected to two, three, or four indoor units. This removes the cost of having one outdoor unit for every indoor unit, and all the associated costs of additional pipe connections and external power supplies.

Large stores and retail sheds can be fitted with a number of FDA Multi-Systems, which are a very cost effective means of providing high levels of cooling and heating. Please refer to Product section for detailed information.

All multi-systems are Inverter controlled high efficiency products, up to 28KW. All outdoor units are compact, and have a small footprint, suitable for restricted location.
