Toshiba's Universal Smart X (USX) Series Edge high-capacity modular air source heat pump
Carrier Solutions UK Ltd (formerly Toshiba Carrier UK Ltd) is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.
At the heart of the USX Series Edge are several technological breakthroughs. 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 water flow and pressure, significantly reducing wastewater while maintaining stable environmental conditions. Additionally, an industry-first 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 unparalleled flexibility, with configurations of up to 128 module units capable of delivering a maximum power output of 3.2MW. This scalability ensures the USX Series Edge can meet the demands of even the most complex and extensive HVAC systems.
'The USX Series Edge is a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability,' said David McSherry, Head of Sales Toshiba HVAC UK, Carrier RLC EMEA. 'This product represents a paradigm shift in HVAC technology, offering businesses unprecedented efficiency and reliability to help meet their environmental responsibilities.'
The USX Series Edge delivers exceptional energy efficiency, boasting Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER) of up to 4.90. The system's Coefficient of Performance (CoP) ranges from 3.39 to 3.62, depending on the model, ensuring optimal performance across various operating conditions. The 60HP Powerful Heating variant is engineered to operate in low-temperature environments down to
-25ºC, guaranteeing reliable heating even in the harshest climates.
Designed for practicality, the USX Series Edge features a space-saving ‘X Frame’ that reduces installation space by 70% compared to conventional R134a models. The system's modular design and compartmentalised components provide built-in redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted operation and minimising downtime. Integrated wireless LAN functionality enables secure remote monitoring and control, allowing real-time adjustments and optimisations.
The Toshiba USX Series Edge is more than just a heat pump; it's a comprehensive solution that addresses the evolving needs of modern businesses. By combining cutting-edge technology with a steadfast commitment to sustainability, Carrier Solutions empowers businesses to achieve their energy efficiency and environmental goals without compromising performance or reliability.
