Fujitsu | Reverse Cycle Split System Air Conditioner 8.5kW Lifestyle Range | R32 Refrigerant
The Fujitsu ASTG30KMTD is a wall mounted reverse cycle split system air conditioner rated 8.5kW cooling and 9.0kW heating, charged with R32 refrigerant. The ASTG30KMTD is the indoor head, matched to the AOTG30KMTD outdoor unit and run from a 230V single phase 50Hz supply. It sits in the Fujitsu Lifestyle range and carries a 5 year parts and labour manufacturer warranty.
Open-plan living areas and large main bedrooms overwhelm a 5kW head, which then sits at full fan all afternoon trying to hold setpoint. The ASTG30KMTD answers that with 8.5kW rated cooling and 9.0kW rated heating, delivered through inverter compressor modulation rather than a fixed speed motor. Householders extending reverse cycle coverage to a second or third room usually want the same brand, so the remote and menus stay familiar. The 75 metre maximum pipe run and 30 metre height difference also give the installer room to place the outdoor unit clear of bedroom windows.
Fujitsu Lifestyle heads keep installers on familiar ground: the same wireless controller, the same louvre behaviour, and the same commissioning sequence across the range. A second or third unit in the same house goes in without complication, and handover takes minutes because the occupant already understands the remote. The ASTG30KMTD draws 10.4 amps running in cooling and lists a 17 amp maximum operating current, so it terminates on a dedicated circuit with a 20 amp recommended breaker. Quoting one manufacturer across an entire house also simplifies spares and subsequent service.
Features
- 8.5kW rated cooling — modulates between 2.9kW and 10.5kW, so output tracks the load instead of cycling hard on and off.
- 9.0kW rated heating — the ASTG30KMTD covers winter across a 2.2kW to 11.2kW range without a second heat source in the room.
- R32 refrigerant charge — factory charged with 1,650g of R32, which carries a lower global warming potential than R410A.
- Inverter compressor control — i-PAM and v-PAM inverter control lifts maximum compressor output while holding efficiency at part load.
- Human sensor control — detects movement in the room and drops to energy saving operation after 20 minutes with no movement detected.
- Measured efficiency figures — EER 3.45 in cooling and COP 3.84 in heating, with a residential TCSPF of 4.334 in the average climate zone.
- Quiet mode — indoor sound pressure falls to 33 dBA in quiet mode, down from 51 dBA at high fan speed.
- Blue fin heat exchanger — the outdoor coil carries blue fin treatment to slow corrosion in coastal installations.
- Washable filters — the apple catechin filter traps fine dust and mould spores, and the long-life ion deodorising filter breaks down absorbed odours.
- Long pipe runs supported — up to 75 metres of pipework with 20 metres precharged, and 30 metres maximum height difference between the two units.
- Demand response ready — switches to the matching operation mode when the electricity supplier activates an Air Conditioning Demand Response mode.
- Licensed installation only — the ASTG30KMTD holds R32 refrigerant and is not a plug-in appliance, so installation and service are restricted to suitably qualified refrigerant trades.
Where to use
- Open-plan living and dining — the ASTG30KMTD suits combined living, dining and kitchen zones where a single head has to hold the whole space.
- Large main bedrooms — 33 dBA quiet mode keeps the head unobtrusive overnight in bigger master suites and guest rooms.
- Staged whole-of-house upgrades — adding a third or fourth Fujitsu head keeps one control layout and one service contact across every room.
- Coastal homes — blue fin treatment on the outdoor coil suits installations within reach of salt air.
- Rental and investment properties — the ASTG30KMTD covers both cooling and heating from a single install, backed by 5 year parts and labour warranty.
- Renovations and extensions — the long pipe allowance lets the outdoor unit sit at the far side of a new addition, away from living windows.
- Home offices and studios — economy mode and the weekly timer suit rooms occupied on a predictable schedule.
- Upper-storey rooms — the 30 metre height difference allowance covers a ground-level outdoor unit feeding an upstairs head.
The ASTG30KMTD indoor head is built for interior wall mounting and is not rated for outdoor or exposed positions. It is not a self-contained or plug-in unit, and only operates paired with its matched outdoor unit on a correctly sized, evacuated pipe run. The system carries R32 refrigerant, so installation and service are restricted to licensed refrigerant handlers and licensed electricians.
