Open-plan floors are where terminal counts multiply: the same cassette repeats across the ceiling grid bay after bay, and every one of them adds its fan hours to the floor's consumption. The Midea Four-way Cassette Fan Coil Unit turns that repetition into something measurable. One chassis architecture spans 400–1050 CFM across the AC and DC range, with cooling capacities from 5.7 to 12.9 kW, so a whole floor can be specified, balanced and reported as a single equipment family. Classic four-outlet, 360° and NEW 360° panels all mount on the same chassis, which means a late design change costs a panel swap rather than a new unit, and the embodied carbon already ordered stays where it was planned.
The DC inverter brushless range is the version sustainability consultants want on the schedule: fan energy down by up to 30%, noise down 2–5 dB(A), and seven speeds for balancing each zone to the load it actually carries instead of running flat out. On 3rd Generation DC models, the optional Human Detect Sensor adds occupancy-based set-back, so empty meeting rooms and unlet guestrooms stop being conditioned at full output, while the same models reach ceilings up to 4.5m so double-height lobbies are served without oversizing the plant. Two-pipe and four-pipe factory versions match the building's hydraulics as designed, and the 750mm drain pump (1200mm on 3rd Generation DC) removes condensate without slope work or structural drainage changes.
Reporting belongs in the specification from day one. XYE and PQE ports are built in, and GW-MOD(A) / GW-BAC(D) gateways provide Modbus RTU and BACnet integration, so every cassette feeds the same energy dashboard the rest of the plant reports to. All models run on standard 220–240V / 1Ph / 50Hz supply, and Hongtai OEM/ODM support covers custom voltages from 180–440V at 50/60Hz, project branding and control protocols for export contracts. ERP and RoHS compliance is standard across the range, which keeps the certification file short when a green building submission is due.
Read the metering requirement first. Where terminal load is a small share of the total and the tender is price-led, the AC version delivers compliant comfort with the lowest unit cost and universal spares. Where the floor is metered, the schedule mentions efficiency, or the owner reports energy intensity per square metre, the DC inverter brushless version is the defensible choice: up to 30% lower fan energy, 2–5 dB(A) quieter, seven speeds for balancing, and on 3rd Generation models occupancy sensing, 4.5m ceiling capability and native V8 VRF integration. Panels, pumps, pipe sizes and chassis dimensions are shared, so AC and DC units install identically and can be phased across a floor plate as budget allows.
A: Up to 30%, with 2–5 dB(A) lower noise on the same duty. The saving is per terminal, so it multiplies across a floor of repeated cassettes rather than staying a single-unit figure.
A: On 3rd Generation DC models the optional Human Detect Sensor reduces output when a zone is empty, so vacant meeting rooms and guestrooms stop drawing full conditioning energy. The effect shows up as reduced running hours in zone-level data.
A: Yes. XYE and PQE communication ports are built in, and GW-MOD(A) / GW-BAC(D) gateways provide Modbus RTU and BACnet integration, so every cassette reports to one dashboard alongside the rest of the plant.
A: Yes. ERP compliance covers the EU Energy-related Products Directive requirements and RoHS covers hazardous-substance restriction, on both the AC and DC series, so one certification file covers a mixed schedule.
A: Yes. Panels, drain pumps, pipe sizes and chassis dimensions are shared, so AC and DC units install identically on the same grid and can be phased floor by floor without changing the installation method.
