1.1.1 Introduction

Hitachi UTOPIA Prime/ UTOPIA IVX Prime series is an outdoor unit series designed with the goal to cover the
requirements of the split and multisplit systems, for installations where from one indoor unit (single system) to up to 4
indoor units, are connected to the same UTOPIA outdoor unit (depending on model).
New UTOPIA series consists in two different outdoor unit series: UTOPIA Prime and UTOPIA IVX Prime, which compliant
with the Eco Design (ErP) and Energy Labelling (ELD) directives about seasonal energy performance:
• ErP 206/2012& ELD (626/2011) for models up to 12kW of Cooling capacity
• ErP 2016/2281 for models higher than 12kW of Cooling capacity
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) in cooling and the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) in
heating, show an approach values to the real energy consumption.
UTOPIA series incorporate the Hitachi inverter technology, which makes possible to adapt automatically and without the
user operation the capacity of the unit, so the power input, to the real demand of the installation, increasing the system
efficiency to unattainable levels with other technologies. All UTOPIA units are equipped with a heat pump, resulting in
an air conditioning system valid for the whole year, in which the installation of additional and specific systems are not
necessary.
Nominal capacity from 7 kW to 14 kW (cooling mode). Connectable indoor units up to 4 units (depending on model) and
total combination power from 90% up to 115% for outdoor units from 4 to 6HP, or 90% up to 100% for 3HP outdoor units.
One of the main merits of Hitachi indoor units range is the combinability and flexibility of its indoor units SYSTEM FREE.
This outstanding technology makes possible to use the same indoor units with both UTOPIA and SET FREE outdoor
units, making easier the design, installation and control of the air conditioning installations.
