The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries FDUA160AVSAWVH is a high static reverse cycle ducted air conditioning system designed for large homes, offices, retail spaces, and commercial buildings that require strong airflow, long duct runs, and flexible zoning. It includes the FDUA160VH indoor unit, FDCA160VSA-W outdoor unit, and the RC-EXZ3A backlit wired controller for simple day-to-day operation.
With 16.0kW cooling and 18.0kW heating capacity, this model is ideal for very large open-plan homes, offices, retail spaces, and areas around 75–110m² depending on insulation and layout. It can modulate from approximately 6.9kW to 20.0kW in cooling mode and from 5.5kW to 22.4kW in heating mode, helping maintain stable temperatures while reducing running costs.
Key Features & Benefits
High Static Pressure Performance
The system is designed for long duct runs, multiple outlets, and larger zoned ducted systems. It supports a maximum external static pressure of up to 200Pa, helping deliver consistent airflow throughout larger homes and commercial spaces. Airflow ranges from approximately 683 litres per second on low fan speed up to 1,000 litres per second on turbo mode.
3-Phase Power Supply
This model operates on 380–415V 3-phase power, making it suitable for larger homes and commercial properties with 3-phase electrical supply. Rated running current is approximately 7.5 amps in both cooling and heating mode, with a maximum current draw of approximately 24 amps.
Energy Efficient Inverter Technology
The system uses Mitsubishi Heavy Industries inverter technology to automatically adjust compressor speed based on room conditions. This helps deliver more stable temperatures, quieter performance, and lower running costs than fixed-speed systems. It achieves an EER of approximately 3.34 and a COP of approximately 3.89.
Quiet Operation
Indoor sound pressure levels range from approximately 41dBA on low fan speed to 48dBA on powerful mode. Outdoor sound pressure is approximately 54dBA, helping maintain quieter day-to-day operation for a system of this size.
Compact Indoor Unit Design
The indoor unit measures approximately 1450mm wide, 930mm deep, and 398mm high, while the outdoor unit measures approximately 970mm wide, 370mm deep, and 1505mm high. Despite its larger capacity, the system remains compact enough for many residential and commercial roof spaces.
RC-EXZ3A Wired Controller Included
The included RC-EXZ3A backlit wired controller provides easy access to operating modes, fan speed control, weekly timers, and scheduling functions. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ FDUA range also supports features such as Hi Power Mode, Silent Mode, Eco Mode, and automatic mode selection.
Flexible Zoning and Wi-Fi Compatibility
The system can be integrated into zoned ducted systems to independently manage airflow to different areas of the property. Optional Wi-Fi control is also available via Mitsubishi Heavy Industries smart control accessories.
R32 Refrigerant
The system uses modern R32 refrigerant for improved efficiency and lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants.
Wide Operating Range
The unit can operate in outdoor temperatures from -15°C to 50°C in cooling mode and from -20°C to 20°C in heating mode, making it suitable for Australian climate conditions year-round.
Ideal Applications
- Very large homes
- Open-plan living areas
