O General 2.5 Ton (30,000 BTU) – ARGH30CMTA-U / AOGH30CBTA-U
Product Overview: The ARGH30CMTA-U offers roughly 2.5 Tons of cooling (27,600 BTU/h rated at T1) and represents a mid-point in the range, providing higher capacity while still maintaining a single-phase power supply. This model is excellent for large residential living areas, small shops, or office suites (~40–45 m²) that require ducted cooling. The indoor unit remains slim (240 mm height) but is wider (1,400 mm length) to accommodate a larger fan and coil for the increased capacity. With its high airflow and cooling output, the 30k model can serve multiple rooms via branching ducts. The outdoor unit (AOGH30CBTA-U) is beefed up with a bigger compressor compared to the 24k, yet thanks to inverter technology, it modulates to low power when full capacity isn’t needed (down to ~2.84 kW cooling). This prevents short-cycling and improves comfort and efficiency.
Key Features:
- Delivers 8.09 kW of cooling at T1 conditions and up to ~7.15 kW at T3, making it reliable in high heat.
- The rated input power is 2.37 kW (T1) which is very reasonable for 2.5 Tons, reflecting an EER of 11.65.
- Noise is well-controlled: about 38 dB(A) on high speed (similar to the 24k unit) and 33 dB(A) or below on lower speeds.
- The indoor unit’s increased width (1.4 m) may require sufficient ceiling space during installation, but the height remains minimal.
- This model includes the standard features of the series (auto restart, economy mode, timer functions, etc.), and it particularly shines in situations where voltage stability is a concern – its inverter can handle a wide voltage range (198–264V) without issues.
- Use cases include larger majlis, retail showrooms, or subdivided office spaces.
- Contractors often choose the 30k model for its mix of high capacity and single-phase ease, avoiding the need for 3-phase power in mid-size projects.

Usage Note: With its higher airflow, the 30k model can cool multiple rooms – for example, a living room and a connected dining area through two ducts. Balancing dampers in the ducts are recommended to fine-tune airflow to each room. Because the indoor unit is wider (1.4 m), ensure the ceiling void can accommodate the length for installation (you may need to remove a ceiling tile or create an access for retrofit). The refrigerant pipe run can be extended with additional charge as needed (factory charge covers ~7.5 m; see manual for extra charge per meter). For villas, an advantage is that this model doesn’t require upgrading to 3-phase power—saving on electrical infrastructure costs.
