GREE CLIVIA R32 8-Way Ceiling Cassette | 24000 BTU

• BROCHURE

A ceiling cassette designed to solve the real comfort challenges in large spaces

In many residential , commercial , and multi-unit projects, thermal comfort depends not only on the power rating listed on a technical specification sheet. It depends primarily on the system's ability to distribute air evenly , maintain a stable temperature, and operate without creating visual or acoustic disturbances. It is precisely in this context that the GREE CLIVIA R32 | 24,000 BTU 8-way ceiling cassette stands out as a particularly suitable HVAC solution.

At AirGreen , we recommend and install this type of cassette when the space to be treated presents real constraints: unobstructed ceilings to preserve, already used walls, open areas that are difficult to balance, or high comfort requirements. In Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , on the North Shore and the South Shore , these are situations we encounter every week, in both modern condos and commercial spaces.

This ceiling cassette is not an aesthetic compromise nor a purely technical choice: it is a structured response to concrete HVAC installation problems.

Understanding the real benefits of an 8-way ceiling cassette

An air diffusion system designed for thermal stability

Eight-way diffusion allows the treated air to distribute more quickly throughout the space. In practice, this means:

• a significant reduction in temperature differences between different areas of the same room,

• a more consistent feeling of comfort, even during periods of high heating or air conditioning demand,

• fewer short cycles, which improves both comfort and equipment longevity.

In several projects completed by AirGreen in Laval and Longueuil , we observed that spaces deemed "difficult to heat" were often so because the air was never distributed efficiently. A well-positioned ceiling cassette, with appropriately oriented louvers, literally transforms the perception of comfort.

A discreet integration that frees up interior space

Unlike wall units, the ceiling cassette is integrated directly into the suspended ceiling. Once installed, only the grille remains visible. This configuration is particularly popular:

• in condos where interior aesthetics are a priority,

• in shops where the walls must remain available,

• in offices where a visually clean environment is desired.

For several clients on the South Shore , this criterion was decisive: they wanted an efficient system, but without visual impact on their living or working space.

Essential technical data for an informed choice

Precise identification of the system

• Indoor model : GKH(24)EC-D6DNA1A/I

• Outdoor model : GWH24AGEXF-D6DNA4J/O

• Rated power : 24,000 BTU

• Cooling capacity : 24,000 BTU

• Heating capacity : down to -30°C

• Refrigerant : R-32

• Certification : ENERGY STAR®, including Cold Climate depending on the configuration

This information is crucial when comparing bids, planning electrical systems, and verifying eligibility for grant programs, including LogisVert .

Energy efficiency and operation in cold climates

The GREE CLIVIA 8-way cassette is designed to operate efficiently in demanding climatic conditions. It maintains stable heating capacity at low temperatures, making it a viable solution as a primary or supplementary system, depending on the building's configuration.

At AirGreen , we always emphasize one point: the advertised performance must correspond to actual usage. That's why we systematically analyze:

• the volume of air to be treated,

• ceiling height,

• the building's insulation and exposure,

• the exact role of the system (main heating, supplementary heating, air conditioning).

This approach avoids unnecessary oversizing and unrealistic expectations.

The choice of R-32 and its implications for the installation

R-32 is a modern refrigerant that aligns with the goal of reducing environmental impact. However, its use requires rigorous HVAC installation , with particular attention paid to the tightness of connections, vacuuming, and final testing.

In our practices at AirGreen , this translates to:

• strict installation procedures,

• systematic checks after installation,

• a documented commissioning process explained to the customer.

This level of rigor is essential to guarantee the long-term reliability of the system.

HVAC installation: the elements that make all the difference

Ceiling structure and accessibility

A ceiling cassette requires advance planning. Before any installation, we verify:

• the available space in the plenum,

• the strength of the fixing points,

• future access for HVAC maintenance ,

• the optimal path of the condensation drain.

In Montreal , during several renovations of plexes or condos, we saw existing installations where access was impossible without opening the ceiling. At AirGreen , we avoid this type of situation from the project's design stage.

Drainage and condensation management

Drainage is one of the most critical aspects of a ceiling cassette. Insufficient slope or incorrect positioning can lead to:

• flowing noises,

• persistent odors,

• risks of overflow.

We pay particular attention to this aspect, because a well-designed drainage system is invisible to the customer, but fundamental to the system's durability.

Piping and physical constraints

For the 24,000 BTU version, the standard piping is 1/4" – 5/8" , with specific limits on length and elevation. These parameters directly influence the compressor's efficiency and stability. Improper management of these distances can reduce actual performance, even with a high-quality unit.

Suitable power supply

With a voltage of 208/230 V , a current rating of 22 A , and a maximum protection rating of 30 A , the CLIVIA cassette requires a properly sized power supply. In renovation projects, we systematically check the electrical panel's capacity to avoid unforeseen upgrades later on.

Concrete examples of projects carried out by AirGreen

Glass-fronted office in Longueuil

A south-facing workspace suffered from significant temperature fluctuations. After installing an 8-way ceiling cassette, improved air distribution stabilized comfort without increasing energy consumption. Manual adjustments decreased, and occupant complaints ceased.

Open-concept condo on the South Shore

The client wanted to preserve the aesthetics of their main room while improving comfort. The ceiling cassette allowed for discreet integration, with a seamless flow between the kitchen, living room, and dining room. Access for HVAC maintenance was incorporated during installation, eliminating the need for any subsequent invasive interventions.

Commercial premises in Laval

In a shop where the walls were fully utilized, the ceiling cassette freed up space while providing acoustic comfort adapted to opening hours. Adjusting ventilation speeds and louver orientation played a key role in customer satisfaction.

HVAC Maintenance: Preserving Performance Over Time

A ceiling cassette circulates a significant volume of air. Without regular HVAC maintenance , the filters and heat exchanger can accumulate dust and debris, affecting airflow and energy efficiency.

At AirGreen , we recommend:

• periodic cleaning of the filters

• an inspection of the drain and the tank,

• a general check of operation and defrosting,

• a preventative check before the peak demand seasons.

Proper maintenance helps to maintain comfort, limit consumption and extend the life of the system.

Control functions and daily use

The CLIVIA cassette offers several convenient adjustment options:

• multiple fan speeds,

• fashions adapted to daily needs

• precise temperature settings

• Wall control options depending on the project.

These features contribute to stable comfort, without constant adjustments, whether in a residential or professional environment.
