MITSUBISHI LAUNCHES THE Q-TON ecobuild stand N1858
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) is bringing the CO2
heat pump to the commercial market. The new
Q-Ton, an air-to-water heat pump, cuts energy use and significantly reduces running costs and carbon emissions. The leading edge technology from MHI includes a unique compressor, which operates in a system that can heat water to 90°C - this is sustainable even when outdoor temperatures sink to -25°C. Des Franklin, MHI sales manager, explains: “MHI is accu-
rately assessing future needs with the launch of the Q-Ton. The revolutionary Q-Ton allows users of large volumes of hot water to utilise their energy extremely efficiently, being both cost effective and eco-friendly.” t 020 7421 6208
