55 °C operating ceiling
Verified to keep cooling at outdoor ambient temperatures up to 55 °C, not only at the standard 35 °C test condition.
O General · ASSG CMTAZ series
The O General ASSG CMTAZ inverter split — built by Fujitsu General for Gulf summers, verified to keep cooling at 55 °C outdoor ambient, and quiet enough at night that you stop noticing it. Made in Thailand. Sold, delivered and installed by Mangeer AC across Saudi Arabia.
What actually goes wrong
Not marketing complaints — the ones that come up every summer in Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam when the unit is three years old and the bill has doubled.
Most units publish capacity at T1 — 35 °C outdoor. Saudi summer is not 35 °C. The ASSG CMTAZ publishes its T3 figure at 46 °C (16,800 and 18,900 Btu/h) and is verified to 55 °C. You can see what you actually get on the worst day.
Cooling is the largest share of household electricity use in Saudi homes. A fixed-speed compressor runs flat out then stops, over and over. The inverter here varies its speed to hold temperature, rated SEER 16.45 on the 18 under SASO 2663:2021.
Noise is the complaint people notice daily and never check before buying. 30 dB(A) in quiet mode on both models — below a quiet library, and low enough for a bedroom.
Coastal salt in Jeddah, dust everywhere else. The outdoor coil uses a blue-fin anti-corrosion treatment and the control boards carry a silicon coating, so the electronics age at the same rate as the metal.
A unit from a brand with no local agent becomes unrepairable the day it fails. O General has been in this market since 1971, with an established service network and spare parts that are still available years later.
Hidden extras turn a good price into a bad one. Every unit ships with free delivery and a free 4-metre insulated copper pipe kit, and you can split the cost with Tamara at checkout.
The part that decides everything
In a Gulf climate the compressor works harder than anything else in the unit. O General covers it for ten years — a commitment a manufacturer only makes when the hardware is built to survive that long.
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer and apply to units fitted by an authorised installer. Ask us for the current warranty card before purchase.
Sound level
Both capacities drop to 30 dB(A) on the indoor unit in quiet mode. That is the difference between a machine you tolerate in a bedroom and one you forget is running.

The brand
O General is the Middle East brand of Fujitsu General — the Japanese manufacturer the region has trusted for over five decades. The products are engineered around one specific problem: extreme, sustained, dusty heat.
Country of manufacture
The ASSG CMTAZ units are manufactured in Thailand under Japanese process control. The 18 and the 24 share one compact outdoor chassis — 632 × 799 × 290 mm, 35 kg and 36 kg — on a standard 230 V single-phase supply.
Engineering
Most air conditioners are rated at 35 °C. Saudi summers are not 35 °C. These units publish their performance at T3 — 46 °C outdoor — and are verified to operate up to 55 °C.
Verified to keep cooling at outdoor ambient temperatures up to 55 °C, not only at the standard 35 °C test condition.
Both the compressor and the fan motor are inverter-driven, so the unit modulates its output instead of cycling on and off.
Catalogue-designated high-airflow build — 1,010 m³/h on the 18 and 1,110 m³/h on the 24, from a 980 mm chassis.
Seasonal efficiency rated to SASO 2663:2021 — 16.45 Btu/W.h on the ASSG18CMTAZ and 15.25 on the ASSG24CMTAZ.
Blue-fin heat exchanger on the outdoor unit, plus silicon coating on the printed circuit boards.
Removes up to 1.43 L/h of moisture on the 18 and 2.06 L/h on the 24 — the part of comfort that isn’t temperature.

Common questions
The ASSG18CMTAZ and ASSG24CMTAZ are manufactured in Thailand by Fujitsu General, the Japanese company behind the O General brand in the Middle East.
Both models run at 30 dB(A) on the indoor unit in quiet mode — quieter than a typical library. At maximum fan speed they measure 47 dB(A) on the 18 and 49 dB(A) on the 24.
The units publish rated performance at T3 conditions — 46 °C outdoor air — and are verified by the manufacturer to operate up to 55 °C. At T3 the 18 delivers 16,800 Btu/h and the 24 delivers 18,900 Btu/h.
The ASSG18CMTAZ at 18,000 Btu/h suits bedrooms, home offices and small majlis of roughly 16–22 m². The ASSG24CMTAZ at 21,200 Btu/h suits living rooms and larger majlis of roughly 22–30 m². Ceiling height, glazing and insulation all shift this — ask us if you’re between sizes.
An inverter compressor varies its speed instead of switching fully on and off, so it draws less power holding a room at temperature. These units are rated SEER 16.45 and 15.25 Btu/W.h under SASO 2663:2021. Cooling is the largest single share of household electricity use in Saudi homes, so seasonal efficiency has a direct effect on what you pay.
Yes — and it matters more than people expect. A split unit has to be fitted by a qualified technician: the copper lines measured, flared and vacuumed, the refrigerant charge checked, and both units mounted level and secure. Mangeer AC arranges installation by an authorised team, which is also what keeps the manufacturer warranty valid. A rushed handyman job is the most common cause of weak cooling, leaks and voided warranty.
