New SUZ splits
Mitsubishi Ecodan R32 SUZ split heat pumps The new Mitsubishi Electric SUZ splits are the latest in high-quality heat pumps that use R32 refrigerant. They are available in three versions that can produce 4.5kW, 6.0kW or 7.0kW of heat and operate efficiently with outside temperatures as low as -25°C. These new compact chassis models reduce the overall footprint of the outdoor unit by almost 20%, making them ideal for installations where space restrictions apply. The units, which are already one of the quietest on the market, also include a special “quiet mode” feature which is activated using the remote controller. This allows homeowners
to reduce the noise levels of their systems even further if required. Another feature is the inclusion of Bluefin, a special coating that is applied to the heat exchanger to improve corrosion resistance. This makes it the perfect solution for Irish weather conditions. Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan heat pumps feature the Mitsubishi FTC6
35
controller which has an easy-to-use graphical display and allows all aspects of the heat pump to be controlled. It includes features such as weather compensation and hot water priority as standard. The FTC6 controller can control up to two heating zones and will automatically manage hot water production and legionella control. It has in-built energy monitoring which allows homeowners to check their overall energy usage, as well as COP (Coefficiency of Performance), at the touch of a button. The FTC6 controller also includes the ability to record all the operating parameters of the heat pump to an in-built SD card for six months. This data allows Mitsubishi Electric Engineers to carry out in-depth analysis on a system’s operations and energy efficiency, and allows for system adjustments to improve efficiency.
Cloud-based control MELCloud, the Mitsubishi Electric cloud-based control for Ecodan heat pumps, provides homeowners with real-time control and monitoring of their system’s energy usage. It is also the perfect aid for both heating and service installers. Maintenance and technical support is also available via the MELCloud app which allows Mitsubishi Electric to remotely review, and often fix, any heating issues without the need for an engineer to make a site visit.
