Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning
At the
heart of ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is ‘heat pump’ technology. To
cool your home in summer, the heat pump transfers heat from the inside of the
home to the outside. In winter, the process is reversed for heating, moving
heat from outside to inside your home. This process of heat transfer makes
reverse cycle air conditioning the most energy efficient way to heat your home.
Some models are up to 270% more efficient than conventional heating systems.
This means that reverse cycle air conditioners are economical to operate, and
safe to use.
At Mitsubishi Electric’s far reaching research and development
programs are designed to enhance lifestyles. In fact, 5% of our net sales goes
towards researching and developing ways
we can maximise our contributions to society and improve lifestyles. We target
technologies that save on raw material, improve efficiency, consumption and cut
down on waste.
Research and development
Mitsubishi
Electric engages in a wide range of R&D efforts to continually offer better
products, especially in comfort and air flow. Air flow can significantly effect
comfort levels, as well as human health and energy saving. Comfort levels are
analysed under various simulated weather and climate conditions, including snowfall and
outside
air
temperatures ranging from -25°C to 50°C, at our site- adjustable “Residential
Comfort Testing Laboratory”. Rather than depending on sometimes fuzzy human
responses, the laboratory measures the degree of comfort using a NASA-developed
thermal mannequin that generates heat just as a human body does. To learn more
about real settings, we constructed “Amenity Home”, a special model house that allows the performance of air conditioners to
be experienced. In addition, the company’s extensive global network gathers
information and directs marketing
efforts toward the development of high-quality
air conditioners that meet the particular needs of the market where they are to
be installed.
