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 can deliver airflow up to approximately 2213m³/h on high speed, helping distribute conditioned air evenly throughout larger homes and commercial spaces. This makes it ideal for larger duct networks and multi-room applications.
Long Pipe Run Capability
The system supports pipe lengths up to 75 metres and height differences up to 30 metres, making it suitable for multi-storey homes, larger commercial fit-outs, and more complex installations.
Large Indoor Unit with Concealed Installation
