Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air Conditioning Europe (MHIAE) is expanding its FDT range with the introduction of the New FDT ceiling cassette unit. This latest model offers improved performance, together with automatic anti-draft control and motion sensor options to optimise air flow for maximum comfort and energy efficiency.

The unit’s energy efficiency has been enhanced with the integration of a newly designed impeller and flow path, which optimises its aerodynamic performance. Additionally, the use of denser heat exchanger with smaller copper piping further improves the overall performance of the FDT, making the unit highly efficient.

Equipped with an optional corner-mounted motion sensor, the new FDT model detects human presence and activity within the room. A new function called “Automatic anti-draft control” is implemented that provides optimal airflow from each outlet based on occupant location for enhanced comfort. When increased activity is detected, the air conditioning system adjusts its performance accordingly ensuring optimal comfort. For energy efficiency, it automatically shifts temperature settings based on activity levels, entering standby mode when no movement is detected. To further conserve energy, the system shuts off entirely after 12 hours of inactivity, minimising unnecessary power use.

The FDT unit offers a Draft Prevention Panel, a carefully designed feature that allows precise adjustment of each of the four flaps in any operational mode for customised airflow management. Using a remote-control users can adjust the flap positions quickly and easily to ensure optimal comfort and airflow direction. This feature is especially beneficial in cooling mode, as it prevents the discomfort of direct exposure to cold air.

With an optional control module, the new FDT unit now offers wireless connectivity, enabling users to manage and monitor their system through the Smart M-Air app on a smartphone or tablet. Users can also set notifications for reminders, such as turning off the air conditioner if left running. Whether heading to the office or running errands, users can pre-cool their space for a comfortable return—or, if forgotten, switch it off remotely from anywhere. The FDT unit is available throughout Europe via MHIAE’s extensive network of distributors.
