TOSHIBA AIR CONDITIONING'S HISTORY
The Toshiba story is a fascinating one, featuring unbending dedication to quality and unceasing innovation. It starts some 100 years ago, when Japan's reputation as a closed, enigmatic society was being broken down by a hunger for the industrial age. Electricity was the new wonder, and in 1899 Japan's first manufacturer of electric lighting equipment adopted the name Tokyo Electric Company.
Around the same time, one of Japan's largest manufacturers of heavy electrical equipment adopted the name Shibaura Electric Company. When the two companies merged in 1939, the Tokyo Shibaura Electric Company was set to become a household name across the world, although the 'nickname' Toshiba was not adopted officially until 1978.

COMBINING TECHNOLOGY WITH COMFORT
The true quality of residential air conditioning goes well past our capacity to control and direct air filtration. There are many stages and additional functions, such as pre-treatment, removal of fine particles and allergens from the air. Toshiba has anticipated many legislative regulations on the control of refrigerant emission into the atmosphere, and has pioneered solutions that only a few can claim similar technology supremacy. For example, Toshiba was the first air conditioning manufacturer to launch a product range with non-ozone depleting refrigerant R410a back in 1999.

TOSHIBA AIR CONDITIONING TAKES SHAPE
After W.W.II Japan enjoyed rapid economic growth, and its society and industry developed on the American model. Based on American products, Toshiba made its first air conditioning units, and introduced improvements throughout the 1950s. By 1961, they were able to introduce the world's first split units. Its new role as innovator, continued with the introduction of Japan's first rotary compressor in 1968. By the 1970s, Toshiba had arrived as a modern multinational company, with a varied product portfolio and world-wide manufacturing sites. In 1978 the name Toshiba Corporation was formally adopted, at the same time as the first computerized compressor units were being introduced. Further advances included the world's first inverter unit in 1981 and the world's first gas fired inverter and twin rotary compressor in 1988.

WORLDS FINEST COMPRESSORS?
Toshiba is quite clearly a founder within the Air Conditioning industry, and manufactures perhaps the finest compressors in the world today.


This is why Air Conditioning Centre specify Toshiba compressors across 95% of our range!

What Makes R-410a a Better Refrigerant?



It's Environmentally Friendlier
If your system ever leaks, the escaping refrigerant won't contribute to ozone depletion!

You Avoid the Risk that R-22 could Become Expensive or Difficult to Get When your System Needs to be Repaired in a Few Years
The old refrigerant R-22 will be phased out along with other ozone depleting chemicals, and both supply and demand of this chemical will be significantly affected by current and upcoming regulations. By selecting an air conditioner or heat pump that uses R-410a, you will avoid the risk associated with purchasing a product that is destined to become obsolete.

R-410a Systems Can be More Reliable than R-22 Systems

R-410a air conditioners and heat pumps are today's "state of the art" systems, and utilize the most current technology available for efficient and reliable operation. The heart of every air conditioner or heat pump is the compressor, and newer systems are specifically designed to use R-410a refrigerant. They often incorporate smaller, heavier-duty "scroll-type" compressors that are quieter and operate with less damaging vibration than older compressors that operate on R-22. Since R-410a can absorb and release heat more efficiently than R-22 ever could, compressors with R-410a run cooler than R-22 systems, reducing the risk of burnout due to overheating.

It Uses a Synthetic Lubricant that Helps to Keep the System Operating Smoothly
All air-conditioning systems use an oil that circulates through the inside of the system to keep all of the parts well lubricated, just like the engine of your car. R-22 air conditioners use an oil known as "mineral oil" that has been used for decades. R-410a air conditioners use newer synthetic lubricants that are usually more soluble with the R-410a than the old mineral oils are with the older R-22 refrigerants. This means the synthetic lubricants and R-410A can mix and circulate more efficiently to keep the compressor and other moving parts lubricated, reducing wear and extending their life. Also, just as many new cars use synthetic oils because they are less likely to break down under high stress and heat, the new synthetic oils used in R-410a air conditioners are less likely to break down under extreme conditions.

What is R410a made of?
This refrigerant is composed of two chemicals which are blended in the right proportion and act nearly as one within an air conditioning system. This is important because when a technician charges your air conditioning system with refrigerant, he or she needs to be sure that the first drop that goes in is the same as the last drop. Many other possible R-22 replacement refrigerants were invented, but had to be ruled out for this very reason.

More Efficient Heat transfer.
R-410a offers some wonderful advantages, but it required the manufacturers of air conditioners to redesign their products to take advantage of the properties of the refrigerant. The reason why a refrigerant works is because it captures the heat from one place, and then releases the heat somewhere else. R-410a captures heat and then releases it better than R-22 did, so manufacturers have found that they need less refrigerant in an R-410a air conditioner than they needed in an R-22 air conditioner. Because there's less refrigerant, they need less copper tubing, and often can use a smaller compressor. The bad news was that R-410a couldn't be used in air conditioners that were made to use R-22, but the advantages for new air conditioners were too great to pass up.
