Hisense AUD-18HX4SSNL1 18,000 BTU Duct Air Conditioner – Non-Inverter

The Hisense AUD-18HX4SSNL1 18,000 BTU Duct Air Conditioner provides a discreet way to cool residential and light commercial interiors. Designed to be installed within the ceiling void, the indoor unit remains hidden while cooled air is delivered through a connected duct and ceiling outlet system.

With 18,000 BTU cooling capacity, airflow of up to 950 m³/h and adjustable external static pressure from 10–50 Pa, this cooling-only system offers installation flexibility for different ductwork arrangements. Its auto-restart function, air filtration and fresh-air intake compatibility add practical features for everyday use.

18,000 BTU Cooling for Medium-Sized Spaces

The 18,000 BTU cooling capacity makes the AUD-18HX4SSNL1 suitable for a range of medium-sized residential and commercial environments.

It can be considered for applications such as:

• Homes and apartments
• Offices
• Hotel rooms and spaces
• Restaurants
• Retail outlets
• Clinics
• Meeting rooms
• Small commercial premises

The appropriate AC capacity should always be determined according to the room dimensions, heat load, insulation, occupancy and other site conditions.

A Clean Ceiling-Mounted Solution

The AUD-18HX4SSNL1 is different from a conventional wall-mounted split AC because the indoor unit is concealed above the ceiling.

Ductwork carries conditioned air to the required outlets, allowing the room to maintain a cleaner appearance without a large indoor AC unit occupying a visible wall.

This configuration can be particularly useful for:

• Modern residential interiors
• Office fit-outs
• Hotels
• Restaurants
• Retail spaces
• Commercial developments

Cooling-Only Non-Inverter System

This Hisense ducted air conditioner is designed for cooling-only operation and uses a non-inverter compressor.

Its straightforward configuration makes it a practical option for installations where dependable cooling is the primary requirement.

Airflow of Up to 950 m³/h

The system can deliver up to 950 m³/h of airflow, helping move conditioned air effectively through the connected duct network.

This airflow capability makes the unit suitable for applications requiring distributed cooling rather than a single wall-mounted air outlet.

Adjustable 10–50 Pa External Static Pressure

Duct systems create resistance as air travels through their network. The AUD-18HX4SSNL1 provides an adjustable external static pressure range of 10–50 Pa, giving installers greater flexibility when configuring the connected ductwork.

The supplied nominal specification is 30 Pa, with adjustment available within the supported range.

Fresh Air Intake Compatibility

The unit is compatible with fresh air intake, allowing it to be incorporated into a suitably designed ventilation system.

When integrated correctly, an outdoor-air supply can complement the air conditioning system and contribute to better ventilation within the conditioned space.

High-Efficiency Air Filtration

A high-efficiency air filter helps capture dust and airborne particles from the air passing through the indoor unit.

Keeping the filter clean is important for maintaining good airflow and supporting efficient air conditioner operation.

Auto Restart After Power Interruption

The Auto Restart feature is useful in locations where temporary power interruptions can occur. After power is restored, the air conditioner can automatically resume operation using its previous settings.

This provides additional convenience for homes, offices and commercial installations.

Quiet Cooling for Occupied Spaces

The AUD-18HX4SSNL1 is designed with quiet operation in mind, making it suitable for areas where excessive equipment noise could be distracting.

Potential applications include:

• Bedrooms
• Offices
• Hotel rooms
• Clinics
• Meeting rooms
• Restaurants
• Quiet commercial spaces

Because the indoor unit is concealed above the ceiling, the visible interior equipment is also kept to a minimum.

Compact Concealed Indoor Unit

The compact indoor unit is designed to fit within a suitable ceiling void. This allows the installation to preserve wall space while maintaining the discreet appearance of a ducted air conditioning system.

Before purchasing or installing the unit, the available ceiling space should be checked to ensure there is adequate room for the indoor unit, ductwork and required service access.

Wireless Remote Control

The system includes a wireless remote control, allowing convenient operation without needing direct access to the concealed indoor unit.
