Technology

In cooling mode, a heat pump works by transferring heat from inside the home or building to the outside. The indoor evaporator unit absorbs and sends the room’s heat energy to the outdoor unit compressor. The vapor is condensed back into a cold liquid that cools and returns to the indoor unit coil. The fan blows across the cold coil to provide cool air.

Inverter technology Mitsubishi Electric Heating and Air Conditioning heat pumps use variable-capacity compressors, which fine-tune the fan speed to reach a set temperature with the least amount of power required. Conventional compressors turn on and off to meet the set point, causing large temperature and energy swings. Our Hyper-Heating® INVERTER (H2i®) uses an enhanced compressor system to deliver heat even when outdoor temperatures are as low as -13º F.

The Technology

Technology has finally evolved, and homeowners can now achieve exceptional, year-round comfort with a single split-ductless unit. These new units are able to heat at maximum efficiency no matter how cold the climate – even to -13º F.

Mitsubishi Electric Heating and Air Conditioning uses a patented process called “flash injection” to allow the heat pump to produce such superior heating. A typical refrigerant loop in a heat pump collects heat energy from outside and transfers it inside. The flash injection process uses a bypass circuit to reroute a portion of the refrigerant to two places.

• Hot refrigerant flows back to the indoor coil to enhance heating.
• Colder refrigerant is injected back into the compressor to allow it to run at faster speeds to produce high-performance heat exchange. .
In cold climates, heat pumps typically experience a decrease in pressure, refrigerant flow rate and operational capacity. Variable-capacity heat pumps with Hyper-Heating INVERTER® (H2i®) technology allow for higher compressor heating speeds at lower outdoor air temperatures, without putting extra strain on the unit or potentially causing long-term damage to the compressor. These are true cold-climate heat pumps designed to deliver 100% of heating capacity down to 5º F. This innovation means homeowners in all climates can experience the benefits of INVERTER-driven, variable-capacity heat pumps listed below:
• Consistent Room Temperature: No Ups and Downs, Ons and Offs: Conventional heat pumps experience uncomfortable and extreme temperature fluctuations while INVERTER-driven heat pumps self-adjust, providing consistent room temperature, even when the outdoor temperature dips below zero.
• Consume Only the Energy You Need: INVERTER-driven zoning systems deliver only the amount of hot air needed to achieve the desired temperature – no more, no less.
• Heats Up Quickly: It takes traditional systems a very long time to reach the desired temperature, while the high rotation speeds of INVERTER-driven systems allow for quick and efficient air conditioning and heating.
• Energy Use is Even and Steady: Every time the compressor turns on in a traditional unit, energy consumption surges. On startup, variable-capacity heat pumps use less current, avoiding spikes in energy usage.
