DC fan motor with outstanding efciency
The DC fan motor greatly improves efciency compared to conventional products with AC motors. In addition, air blasts are
reduced by controlling the rotation speed of the fan. Stable operation is provided against strong head winds of approxima-
tely 10m/s on the front face of the outdoor unit.

PWM (pulse width modulation) concept of speed control
The switching element (a power MOSFET) switches back and forth at a frequency of several tens of kHz. This controls the
ON/OFF duty rate per cycle and changes the voltage applied to the fan motor to control the rotation speed.
HITACHI scroll compressors (R410A for the outdoor unit and R134a for the indoor unit)
Highly efcient scroll compressor
The HITACHI DC INVERTER scroll compressor has been developed to increase efciency, reliability and to reduce power
input.
