Key Features & Benefits
High Static Pressure Performance
The QSH Series delivers up to 200Pa external static pressure, making it suitable for longer duct runs, multiple outlets, and more complex duct layouts across larger homes and commercial spaces. Carrier’s constant air volume technology helps maintain strong airflow even when duct pressure changes.
Advanced Inverter Technology
Carrier’s inverter technology continuously adjusts compressor speed to maintain a more stable indoor temperature while reducing power consumption and operating noise compared to conventional fixed-speed systems.
Powerful Airflow Performance
The indoor unit delivers airflow up to 3545m³/h on high speed, helping distribute conditioned air evenly throughout larger homes and commercial spaces. This makes it ideal for larger duct networks and multiple-room applications.
Long Pipe Run Capability
The system supports pipe lengths up to 75 metres and height differences up to 30 metres, making it ideal for multi-storey homes, larger commercial fit-outs, and more complex installations.
Large Indoor Unit with Concealed Installation
The indoor unit measures approximately 1200mm wide, 625mm deep, and 380mm high, while the outdoor unit measures approximately 952mm wide, 415mm deep, and 1333mm high. Despite its large capacity, the system remains fully concealed in the ceiling space for a cleaner appearance throughout the home.
