LONG BEACH, Calif. — DENSO Corporation, the world’s largest manufacturer of air conditioners, will showcase its new MovinCool® Climate Pro 18 portable heat pump at the 2015 AHR Expo Jan. 26-28 in Chicago. More than 60,000 professionals from the air conditioning, heating, ventilation and refrigeration industry are expected to attend the trade show, which brings the entire HVACR buying chain under one roof.

The Climate Pro 18 combines cooling and heating capabilities in a single, self‑contained unit. The compact system is 13 percent smaller and 22 percent lighter than other comparable heat pumps, yet it offers significantly higher performance.

“MovinCool has the highest performing lineup of spot air conditioners on the market,” said David Keller, manager of DENSO Products and Services Americas Inc.’s Heat Management Department. “The Climate Pro 18 gives our customers the added choice of an all‑in‑one cooling and heating solution, designed with the high levels of MovinCool performance, quality and reliability they have come to trust.”

The Climate Pro 18’s cooling capacity of 14,600 Btu/h, heating capacity of 13,700 Btu/h and minimum operating temperature with plenum of 24 degrees Fahrenheit make this unit the best-performing system in its class.

A new controller features a larger LCD screen that displays diagnostics and step-by-step instructions to start, set up or restore operation. The system is fully compatible with most standard, off-the-shelf wireless thermostats.

As with other MovinCool portable systems, highest-quality manufacturing details include hermetically sealed refrigeration units and fan motors, to ensure long-term reliability. MovinCool’s industry-leading warranty covers parts and labor on the entire unit for three years.
