Groundbreaking Toshiba USX Edge modular heat pump launched

Toshiba Universal Smart X

The groundbreaking Toshiba Universal Smart X (USX) Series Edge high-capacity modular air source heat pump is now available. Engineered for exceptional efficiency, flexibility and sustainability, the USX is poised to deliver new innovations to the commercial and industrial HVAC landscape.

The system features an enhanced compressor design based on the world’s largest capacity DC twin rotary compressor, enabling the use of high-pressure, lower-GWP R32 refrigerant. A sophisticated module control system optimises internal waterflow and pressure, significantly reducing wastewater while maintaining stable environmental conditions.

Additionally, a pulse width modulation (PWM) converter enhances power factor, eliminates harmonic current issues and reduces losses, contributing to a more compact and efficient design.

The USX Series Edge is available in three sizes (50HP, 60HP and 70HP) and three variants (Cooling Only, Standard Heat Pump and Powerful Heating), catering to various commercial and industrial needs. Its modular architecture allows for configurations of up to 128 module units capable of delivering a maximum power output of 25.6MW. This scalability ensures the USX Series Edge can meet the demands of even the most complex and extensive HVAC systems.
