A Mini-VRF architecture designed for the climatic and real estate realities of Quebec

At AirGreen, we work daily on complex HVAC projects in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , the North Shore , the South Shore , and the Montérégie region . Over the years, one thing has become clear: as soon as you move beyond the standard single-family home, conventional solutions quickly reach their limits. The FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S VRF R32 | 48,000 BTU was specifically developed to address these intermediate situations where robustness, flexibility, and precision become essential.

This Mini-VRF system is designed for commercial buildings, multi-unit dwellings, institutional buildings or large residences requiring advanced, stable and predictable thermal management , even when winter temperatures fall below Quebec's critical thresholds.

Why the Mini-VRF concept is a real game changer

A VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system does more than simply supply multiple indoor units. It continuously adjusts the refrigerant flow rate according to the actual load in each zone. In practice, this continuous modulation provides tangible benefits that we consistently observe on our projects.

Benefits observed during our AirGreen installations

• Much more constant temperatures , without unpleasant fluctuations.

• Marked reduction in electricity peaks , particularly in heating.

• Improved mechanical longevity , because the compressor operates progressively.

• Flexible layout , ideal for evolving buildings.

In a commercial building in Montreal East , we replaced an aging central system with an AIRSTAGE J-7S 48,000 BTU unit powering several different types of indoor units. The owner was able to rent their spaces more easily thanks to independent zone management, while also reducing complaints related to temperature fluctuations.

Heating in cold climates: a top priority in Quebec

Stable operation down to -26 °C

The FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S VRF R32 is specifically designed for heating in cold climates , a non-negotiable criterion for installations in Laval , on the North Shore or in areas more exposed to wind and frost.

• Rated capacity : 48,000 BTU

• Available power at -8°C : approximately 35,800 BTU

• Available power at -15°C : approximately 41,500 BTU

• Coefficient of performance at -8 °C (COP) : 12.13

These values ​​translate in practice into sustained heat production , even during prolonged cold spells. Unlike some systems that require costly backup power sources, the J-7S maintains stable output when demand is highest.

Direct impact on comfort and costs

In several multi-unit housing projects in Longueuil , we have observed a significant reduction in complaints related to cold zones, particularly on upper floors or at the ends of the building, where heat loss is generally greater.

Efficient and balanced air conditioning during the summer period

In summer, VRF modulation allows the system to respond precisely to the variable loads generated by:

• The varying levels of sunlight on the facades

• Unequal occupation of spaces

• Internal gains related to equipment and lighting

The result: more even air conditioning , without unnecessary overcooling, which improves comfort while reducing overall energy consumption, a point particularly appreciated in commercial buildings in Montreal and on the South Shore .

The choice of R-32 refrigerant: an often underestimated aspect

R-32 is not just a regulatory change. It offers concrete technical advantages:

• Better heat transfer capacity

• Reduced refrigerant charge , simplifying network design

• Increased efficiency in heating and air conditioning

• Lower environmental footprint than previous generations

For property managers planning over 15 to 20 years, this choice helps to secure the investment in the face of future environmental requirements.

Wide compatibility with different types of indoor units

One of the strengths of the AIRSTAGE J-7S lies in its ability to adapt to the actual configuration of buildings, without aesthetic or functional compromise.

Compatible indoor unit types

• Slim ducted units for discreet integration into ceilings

• Compact cassettes compatible with standard grids

• Wall units for technical spaces or offices

• Multi-position air handling units for large volumes

In a recent project in Boucherville , we combined a central air handling unit for common areas with wall-mounted units in individual offices. This hybrid approach optimized costs while respecting existing architectural constraints.

Essential technical data for rigorous planning

• Exterior model number : AOUK048SSAN7

• AHRI : 216372783

• Supported areas : 1 main network with the capacity to power up to 12 indoor units

• Voltage : 220 V

• MCA : 36 A

• MOP : 40 A

• Outdoor noise level : approximately 60 dB(A)

• External dimensions : compact size for easy installation on balconies or under windows

These elements are systematically integrated into our technical studies before any HVAC installation in order to avoid costly adjustments during construction.

Subsidies and return on investment

The FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S VRF R32 48,000 BTU is eligible for LogisVert provincial subsidies of up to $4,296 , depending on the building type and final configuration. At AirGreen, we support our clients in Montreal , Laval , and the South Shore throughout the entire administrative process, an aspect that often makes the difference between a profitable project and an under-optimized one.

Common mistakes that our experience helps to avoid

On Mini-VRF systems, certain poorly informed decisions can compromise long-term performance:

• Underestimating the total length of piping

• Ignoring height differences between units

• Omitting a detailed analysis of thermal loads by zone

• Choosing a system without considering the actual uses of the building

Thanks to our field experience on dozens of commercial and multi-residential HVAC installations, we anticipate these challenges from the design phase.

Why entrust your project to AirGreen

Installing a VRF system requires specific expertise. At AirGreen, we provide:

• Certified refrigeration technicians specializing in VRF systems

• $5 million liability insurance

• Clear and final submissions before work begins

• A structured after-sales service is essential for this type of equipment.

Our in-depth knowledge of Fujitsu systems allows us to optimize each installation, both in terms of energy efficiency and operational efficiency.

Conclusion

The FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S VRF R32 | 48,000 BTU is a robust, precise, and durable HVAC solution for demanding buildings in Quebec. Its ability to maintain comfort in severe winter conditions, its flexible integration, and its energy efficiency make it a strategic choice for commercial and multi-residential projects.
