IMPORTANT! MEPS Implications

temperzone's newly released R410A units have all been designed and tested in accordance with the new MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standard) regulations for improved EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) that became effective 1st October 2007.

The units have accordingly been registered, and can be found, on the MEPS website http://www.energyrating.gov.au.

As a result of conforming to these regulations and achieving the improved EER required, these units generally have lower air flows and/or static pressure capability when compared to the units they are superseding.



Do not assume that the new model is a direct replacement for an old model of similar size; the cooling and heating performance may be increased but available static may be reduced.

We draw your attention to the fact that it is most likely larger size ducting will have to be installed. Care should be taken to minimise tight bends and the length of ductwork (refer earlier publication).



As MEPS and other energy conscious standards take effect it is essential Consultants and Contractors consider the above at the design and installation stage, and refer to our published performance data.



The temperzoneDX Air Conditioners selection program that has now expired (Version 2.1.1) will be updated in 2008. In the meantime the new air flows, external static pressures, cooling and heating performance are available in the newly issued pamphlets and on this website.



Note: The new OSA outdoor units have a different handing due to the design of the new R410A compressors. Refrigeration pipes now exit the unit on the right hand end when facing the fan outlet.
