Air conditioning innovation
Mr Slim R32 range launched
Four Mitsubishi Electric indoor units in the new R32 range

itsubishi Electric has launched a new range of air conditioning units utilising the new refrigerant R32 which will be available at
the same price as the equivalent R410A units. The R32 Mr Slim Power Inverter split type models
are the second product range in the company’s UK line-up to utilise R32 refrigerant – which has a low global warming potential (GWP). “We have kept the price exactly the same as our
current R410A Mr Slim Power Inverter line up as we see this eliminating a big hurdle in the adoption of this new refrigerant, which is an important change to help combat global warming,” explains Carl Dickinson on behalf of the company. “Anyone planning on using, designing or installing
air conditioning in the coming years will now need to take into account the GWP of the system to meet the F-Gas Regulation requirements,” adds Dickinson. In March 2014, the European Parliament passed the 2014 EU F-Gas Regulation legislation with the key
objective of reducing F-Gas emissions by 79% between 2015 and 2030. The intention is to cut the availability of HFCs with a high GWP. The F-Gas Regulations will have a major impact on the air conditioning sector and any option for the next generation of refrigerant gas must be able to meet the demands of this stringent legislation in reducing the environmental impact of HFCs. R32 has a GWP of 675 compared to R410A
refrigerant which has a GWP of 2,088 and Dickinson sees this as an important reason why the market is expected to move quickly to the new refrigerant: “Not only will this help businesses demonstrate what they are doing to help the environment, the use of R32 also allows the Mr Slim units to offer increased efficiency compared to equivalent R410A models.” Mitsubishi Electric says it is first to the UK market with such an expansive line-up and the new R32 Mr Slim Power Inverter models have been built specifically for the new refrigerant.

AC UNITS AWARDED QUIET MARK
M
itsubishi Electric’s M Series MSZ-LN wall mounted air conditioning units have been awarded the Noise
Abatement Society’s Quiet Mark for their almost silent performance. The MSZ-LN is the first in the company’s
comprehensive range of units utilising the new R32 refrigerant – which has a low global warming potential (GWP). “The Quiet Mark has been awarded to the new MSZ-LN range in recognition of Mitsubishi Electric’s continuing acoustic innovation and focus on sound levels,” explains Toby Saville, chief technical officer for Quiet Mark. “As these new models are able to sense room
occupancy and turn on automatically, it is even more important for the unit to be unobtrusive and quietly go about heating or cooling the space without drawing attention to itself. Our assessments have shown the MSZ-LN to be one of the quietest air conditioning units on the market today.” The MSZ-LN range offers noise levels as low as 19dBA and is available in a choice of four sizes from 2.5kW to 6.1kW, with four distinct indoor wall units which are available in ruby red, onyx black, pearl white and natural white colours. A matching, colour co-ordinated room controller is also available. A built-in Wi-Fi interface enables full control and monitoring via the company’s MELCloud App, and a sophisticated i-see sensor in the unit automatically monitors room occupancy, position and body temperatures to deliver customised comfort.

TESLAMISER HIGH-TECH CHILLER BATTERY WINS AWARD
he Teslamiser chiller battery pack has been named as a top air conditioning innovation. The solution, developed by Klima-Therm and Geoclima, won the Air Conditioning Ancilary of the Year 2017 at the ACR News Awards. Teslamiser is based on the latest lithium polymer batteries coupled with a smart control system to monitor and control electrical power supply to the chiller. The system is specifically designed for use with
T
Turbocor compressor-based chillers, and in particular Klima-Therm’s original Turbomiser and new, ultra- efficient K-Turbo ranges, to exploit their superior part-load performance, but could also be applied to
32 June 2017
other suitable chillers or HVAC systems. Teslamiser automatically optimises energy flows into, within and out of the chiller. This includes managing power inputs from the mains electrical supply and any renewable sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) panels and wind energy, according to pre-set criteria. This enables the system to harness the preferred
energy source at any given time to power the chiller, with the battery pack providing the buffer. Power source selection can be based on lowest cost, lowest carbon, even the most profitable, with some energy providers now paying customers to consume energy at certain times.
