Toshiba AC suits flagship clothing store
31st July 2025
UK: Carrier Solutions UK has partnered with River Island and contractor Bry-Kol Developments to deliver a tailored HVAC solution for the retailer’s expanded store at The Chimes Shopping Centre, Uxbridge.
The project involved relocating River Island from a single-level space of 848m2 to a two-floor store totalling 660m2. This required a new system capable of providing precise climate control across the extended pipework runs to the roof plant area. Two internal AHUs with chilled water-cooling coils were drained prior to the shop fit, and Bry-Kol was tasked with identifying equipment suited to the store’s layout and operational requirements.
The installed solution includes six Toshiba 14kW RAV Super Digital Inverter (SDI) units paired with Toshiba 4-way cassettes and one
RAV 5kW high-wall SDI split system. The SDI series features twin rotary compressors, vector-controlled inverters, a special fan blade design and an ultra-power heat exchanger.
The system now offers zoning capabilities, allowing temperature adjustments in specific areas of the store to suit foot traffic and external conditions.
