Pricing

It uses the low-GWP refrigerant R-454B and combines an advanced heat pump, INVERTER technology and a variable-frequency-drive centrifugal fan with a dual-exchange system for both cooling and heating. ADELTE positions it as a more ecological and profitable alternative to running an aircraft's APU on the ground.
