# Low-Carbon Air Conditioner RDF-08C

The **RDF-08C** is the reference model of the range and the unit behind the documented factory case: **28.5 kW cooling from 6.5 kW input**, 9,000 m3/h, covering **200-250 m2**. In the published 2,000 m2 comparison, ten RDF-08C units (52 kW total) replace twenty 5 HP cabinet air conditioners (80 kW), saving about 33,600 kWh over a four-month cooling season.

## Why the RDF-C low-carbon platform

- **Evaporative pre-cooling + compressor stage.** A direct-expansion coil assisted by evaporative cooling reaches rated capacity with roughly one third less compressor power than conventional cabinet air conditioners.
- **Fresh-air positive pressure.** One-to-one indoor/outdoor systems continuously bring in filtered outside air, holding dust and odors out under slight positive pressure.
- **Documented savings.** Manufacturer comparison for a 2,000 m2 workshop: twenty 5 HP cabinet units draw 80 kW; ten RDF-08C deliver the same cooling at 52 kW - about 33,600 kWh saved over a four-month cooling season.
- **R410A, digital scroll, intelligent control.** Cooling and dehumidification modes, WiFi/APP control and 53-68 dB(A) operation depending on model.
- **The energy-case benchmark.** The 08C is the model quoted in the manufacturer comparison that anchors the range's savings claim.
- **Quiet for its class** at up to 55 dB(A), suitable for occupied production and commercial floors.

## Technical specifications

Rated capacity under nominal conditions; effective coverage depends on ceiling height, heat load, insulation and fresh-air requirement. One-to-one indoor/outdoor configuration.

## Where the 08C is specified

Assembly lines, garment and electronics workshops, packaging halls, staff areas adjacent to process heat and mid-size commercial kitchens: anywhere requiring 25 kW-class cooling with continuous fresh air. The one-to-one indoor/outdoor split keeps refrigerant pipe runs short and installation conventional for any HVAC crew.

## Frequently asked questions

### What makes this a 'low-carbon' air conditioner?

Evaporative pre-cooling of fresh air plus a direct-expansion compressor stage reaches rated capacity with roughly one third less compressor power than conventional cabinet units. The documented 2,000 m2 case uses 52 kW instead of 80 kW - about 33,600 kWh saved over a four-month season.

### Does it bring in outside air?

Yes - unlike a split or cabinet AC that recirculates, the RDF-C range continuously supplies filtered fresh air at slight positive pressure, pushing heat, dust and odors out. It is a ventilation and IAQ upgrade as well as cooling.

### What refrigerant does it use?

R410A across the range. No lower-GWP refrigerant option is listed in the current 2026 catalogue.

### How is it controlled?

One-to-one indoor/outdoor configuration with intelligent control and WiFi/APP operation; group/BMS options for multi-unit projects protocol details and overseas APP availability are confirmed at quotation stage.

### Is the 33,600 kWh saving independently certified?

It is the manufacturer's published engineering comparison (20x 5 HP cabinets at 80 kW vs 10x RDF-08C at 52 kW over a four-month season). We quote the arithmetic transparently and re-run it on your tariff and running hours rather than treating it as a guarantee.

### What area does one 08C cover?

200-250 m2 at normal industrial heat load; high glazing, cooking or dense machinery reduce this, and the 10C (35 kW, 250-350 m2) is the step up.

## FAQ

### What is a low-carbon air conditioner?

An air conditioning line engineered around energy efficiency - reducing electricity use per unit of cooling compared with conventional units, which lowers both running cost and operating emissions.

### Where are low-carbon air conditioners used?

They suit spaces needing precise temperature control - offices, control rooms and production areas - especially sites pairing them with HVLS fans or evaporative cooling for a lower-carbon overall system.

### Can they work together with HVLS fans or evaporative coolers?

Yes. Hybrid setups are common: airflow from HVLS fans improves perceived cooling and lets air-conditioning setpoints rise, while evaporative units pre-cool ventilation air in suitable climates.

### Where can I find specifications for each model?

Each product page carries its specification table; model-level details such as capacity, power supply and options are confirmed during quotation against your site requirements.
