Carrier Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Limited (Carrier India) has introduced its new product line of energy efficient air conditioners for the Indian market, including the X-Power Gold, Durakool Star Premium hi-wall and Estrella range of hi-wall air conditioners, Toshiba range of Super Modular Multi System (SMMSi) air conditioners and Carrier’s AquaThrust 30XA chiller. Carrier Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Limited (Carrier India) is a subsidiary of Carrier Corp., which is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX). Carrier Corp. improves the world around us through engineered innovation and environmental stewardship.
X-Power Gold inverter high-walls combine inverter technology, reliability and extraordinary end user benefits. The X-Power DC inverter compressor's high efficiency results in significant energy savings, lowering electricity bills so that consumers can save with Carrier all year around. Its advanced electronic management system reduces energy consumption by up to 20 percent when compared with traditional systems. It offers a superior coefficient of performance (COP), ranging from 3.21 to 3.31. The feature packed remote allows for 11 steps of controlled airflow and distributes air evenly around the room. The use of Nano Silver technology in the Carrier X-Power Gold Inverter helps purify the indoor air, making the environment cleaner and healthier.
Carrier India has also launched Durakool Star Premium and Estrella range of hi-wall air conditioners. These products have been rated between 4 and 5 stars under the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) rating system. Both the ranges are available in 1Tr, 1.5Tr and 2Tr capacity.
The Durakool Star Premium has a decorative flat panel indoor unit and comes with a hydrophilic coated evaporator coil, which increases efficiency. The advanced washable dust filter makes the indoor air dust and odour free as the electrostatic fiber filters trap dust particles, smoke and fur. The unit also purifies the air by eliminating ammonia and other harmful chemical gases. The advance dry mode eliminates air moisture, resulting in a room that is dry and fresh at just the touch of a button, making Durakool Star Premium the right choice for hot and humid seasons.
The Estrella range of hi-wall air conditioners is Carrier India’s latest innovation in style and luxury. With the Estrella range, consumers make a stylish lifestyle statement and reduce the impact on the environment while enjoying remarkable comfort. The entire range is five star rated and has a robust rotary compressor designed to perform even under extreme climatic conditions. Powered with cutting-edge cooling technologies, these unique air conditioners use non-ozone depleting R410a refrigerant. The energy efficient Estrella range comes with an Active Carbon Electrostatic Fiber Filter that deodorizes odours, absorbs poisonous gas, and removes small dust particles, providing clean indoor air. Their slim and elegant design in a glossy white finish can complement any interior space.
In discussing the new range of products, Mr. Krishan Sachdev, director, Marketing and Strategy stated, “Carrier India believes that industry leadership demands environmental stewardship, and we have actively integrated sustainability into our company culture. To give an unparalleled experience to our customers, we have built a strong distribution network that will also help drive customer satisfaction. With the launch of these new ranges of energy efficient products, we also want to create customer awareness about the benefits of products that are environmentally sustainable and offer better product lifecycle value to the customer.”
Under the brand Toshiba, Carrier has introduced the SMMSi range of Variable Refrigerant Flow commercial air conditioners. Inverter systems save energy as continuous operation offers the same capacity with lower power consumption. This benefits occupants by maintaining constant room temperatures and benefits the environment by reducing energy consumption. The introduction of this cutting-edge product is another demonstration of Carrier’s strong commitment to green solutions.
For commercial applications, Carrier has launched another innovative product — the AquaThrust 30XA, an air-cooled liquid chiller with Pro-Dialog Plus Control. AquaThrust 30XA liquid chillers are an excellent solution for industrial and commercial applications in which installers, consultants and building owners require optimal quality, performance and value. These chillers offer energy efficiency, along with flexibility of use, compact size, and the most reliable technologies available today. The AquaThrust 30XA meets requirements for the Bureau of Energy Efficiency’s Energy Conservation Building Code.
The introduction of these innovative new products continues Carrier’s long history of environmental stewardship. Carrier India has received the prestigious National Energy Conservation Award for four consecutive years from 2007 to 2010. Further, Carrier India’s manufacturing facility in Gurgaon has achieved a reduction of 57 percent in air emissions, 50 percent in energy consumption, and 54 percent in water consumption (2006-2010 normalized with production volume).
In addition, Carrier Corp. is the only company in the world in its industry to have incorporated sustainability within its brand identity, which combines the elements of a stylized green leaf with the existing “turn to the experts” tag line.
