New chillers, heat pumps launch next month

Multinational heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment producer Johnson Controls is launching its Amichi series of chillers and heat pumps for the South African market on October 1. Johnson Controls building efficiency Africa GM Neil Cameron explains that the series has capacities ranging from 45 kW to 260 kW, making it “perfectly” suited to the local mid-capacity segment. “It marries the price benefit of a scroll chiller with the increased control that a direct current (DC) inverter offers for better performance through a wider operating envelope.”
