Midea has officially opened its first dedicated HVAC showroom and experience centre in Australia.
Located in the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Oakleigh, the space showcases commercial solutions from Midea Building Technologies (MBT) including trade HVAC systems, alongside consumer-focused products from the company’s residential air-conditioning portfolio.
The showroom features a comprehensive portfolio spanning light commercial mini Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems to large-scale multi-unit configurations, as well as R290 residential heat pumps, commercial water heating solutions, and magnetic-bearing centrifugal chillers.
Also on display are LINVOL elevators, data centre solutions and commercial building solutions.
Midea says that the space has been designed as an experiential hub for local contractors, consultants, developers, partners and consumers.
It is part of the company’s strategy to expand engagement within Australia’s HVAC industry through education, demonstration and technical engagement.
In an indication of the reach of the company globally, Midea says that one in every four inverter air-conditioners, and one in every two compressors worldwide is produced by the company.
“Commercial HVAC is shifting from stand-alone equipment to being integrated into building infrastructure, directly impacting the efficiency and performance of a building,” Midea Building Technology general manager for the APAC region Taufiq Lee says.
Lee adds that one of the key technologies on display in the showroom is Midea’s air-cooled modular chiller platform. “Air-cooled modular chillers allow capacity to grow with demand while maintaining efficient operation across changing building conditions. Multiple modules operate together as a unified system, delivering performance that is scalable, while also simplifying maintenance,” Lee says.
While MBT is the division of Midea Group focused on commercial HVAC, the group has five other business pillars: Smart Home, Industrial Technology, Robotics and Automation, Midea Healthcare and Annto Logistics.
