The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries FDUA160AVNXWVH is a high static reverse cycle ducted air conditioning system designed for very large homes, offices, and commercial spaces that require strong airflow, long duct runs, and flexible zoning. Its discreet ceiling-concealed design and powerful high static performance make it ideal for larger multi-room properties and open-plan living areas. The system includes the RC-EXZ3A wired controller for easy day-to-day operation.
With 16.0kW cooling and 18.0kW heating capacity, this model is ideal for very large homes, offices, retail spaces, and areas around 75–115m² depending on insulation and layout. The FDUA series is designed to deliver reliable whole-home comfort with strong airflow across larger zoned systems and longer duct runs.
Key Features & Benefits
High Static Pressure Performance
The system supports high airflow for long duct runs, multiple outlets, and larger zoned ducted systems. Indoor airflow ranges from approximately 683 litres per second on low speed up to 1000 litres per second on powerful high mode, helping maintain even air distribution throughout larger homes and commercial spaces. Maximum external static pressure is up to 150Pa.
Single-Phase Power Supply
This model operates on standard 240V single-phase power, making it suitable for larger homes without requiring a 3-phase electrical upgrade. Rated running current is approximately 22 amps in both cooling and heating modes.
Energy Efficient Inverter Technology
The system uses inverter technology to automatically adjust compressor output based on room conditions, helping maintain more stable temperatures and lower running costs compared to fixed-speed systems. It achieves an EER of approximately 3.42 and a COP of approximately 3.91.
Quiet Operation
Despite its large capacity, the system is designed for quieter operation. Indoor sound pressure levels range from approximately 41dBA on low speed to 48dBA on powerful high mode, while outdoor sound pressure is approximately 54dBA.
Convenient Operating Modes
The FDUA series includes High Power Mode for rapid cooling and heating, Silent Mode for reduced noise, Economy Mode to reduce power consumption, Dry Mode to reduce humidity, and weekly and sleep timers for improved convenience.
Built-In Drain Pump
The system includes a built-in drain pump with up to 600mm lift, helping simplify drainage in tighter roof cavities and more difficult installation locations.
Compact Indoor Unit Design
The indoor unit measures approximately 398mm high, 1450mm wide, and 930mm deep, while the outdoor unit measures approximately 1300mm high, 970mm wide, and 370mm deep. Despite its larger capacity, the system remains compact enough for many residential and commercial roof spaces.
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.
R32 Refrigerant
The system uses modern R32 refrigerant, which provides improved efficiency and lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants.
RC-EXZ3A Wired Controller Included
The included RC-EXZ3A wired controller provides simple day-to-day operation with temperature adjustment, operating mode selection, timer settings, and fan speed control.
