- the Future is Renewable & Sustainable
Legislation is now driving businesses to
demonstrate that their buildings are energy efficient and minimise
CO2 emissions. Mitsubishi Electric can offer an extensive range of
highly efficient renewable products that allow clients to not just
meet but exceed the targets set by legislation. This now includes an
advanced range of power generating Photovoltaics (PV).
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps upgrade naturally occurring low
temperature heat into useful high temperature heat and vice versa
(see diagram on right). The operational characteristics totally
differ for a traditional gas boiler, where 1 kilowatt of energy in
gives less than 1 kilowatt of heat to the building. With a typical
electrically driven heat pump, 1 kilowatt of energy in will give 3
or 4 kilowatts or more of heat to the building, and these efficiency
levels are predicted to rise year on year.
Mitsubishi Electric uses heat pumps to maximise
the heating and/or cooling potential of each system and minimise the
energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
Heat pumps offer a real potential for energy and
CO2 reduction within buildings and especially within the home.
Ecodan
Ecodan heating systems have set the standard for
mass-market, low carbon residential heating. With easy installation,
Ecodan offers an average reduction of 50% in CO2 emissions and a 30%
reduction in running costs against a gas-fired boiler. Savings are
even greater against oil or LPG. From 2011, home owners will also
have the real potential to earn money under the Governments
Renewable Heating Incentive.
WR2 / WY Series Ground Source Heat Pumps
Mitsubishi Electric’s water cooled City Multi
range is listed on the Government’s renewable energy list and tests
at the company’s Hatfield headquarters have proven that this
technology is 300% more efficient at heating and cooling an office
than a traditional gas-fired boiler and rooftop chiller combination.
Available in heat pump and heat recovery with
model sizes of 8, 10, 16 and 20HP, both the WR2 and the WY can be
linked to ground loops and boreholes to use the geothermal energy of
the earth like a battery to store heating and cooling energy.
Commercial Heating-only Range
This new range of commercial heating-only
products will help the majority of buildings achieve renewable
energy targets with more ease, reliability and flexibility than any
other alternative renewable technology including biomass boilers.
The range uses heat pumps to provide radiant heating, warm air,
domestic hot water, or a combination of all three. In addition to
helping new buildings achieve planning permission, they can be
retro-fitted to existing buildings, and will work independently or
alongside other heating systems. Air, water and ground source heat
pump versions of the system are available in individual modules
offering capacities from 25kW to 200kW, multiples of which can be
used for larger buildings. From April 2011, building owners will
also have the real potential to earn money under the Government’s
Renewable Heating Incentive.
Zubadan
The City Multi and Mr Slim Zubadan systems use a
unique flash injection circuit to allow the condensers to continue
delivering full heating capacity at outdoor temperature as low as
-15ºC, and increases the guaranteed operating range down to -25ºC.
This system optimises refrigerant flow in low ambient conditions by
allowing some of the refrigerant to bypass to the compressor through
a flash injection circuit to maximise the heating efficiency and
increase the heating range.
The flash injection circuit allows the system to
run for much longer periods between defrosts, runs at a much higher
capacity during this cold ambient and reduces the period that the
unit is in defrost.
Lossnay
Lossnay's simultaneous air exhaust to air supply
heat transfer element provides effective ventilation, total heat
recovery (sensible and latent), providing a comfortable air
temperature within the room. The energy saved by using Lossnay
contributes towards lowering the running costs of air conditioning,
minimising the size of air conditioning systems needed.
Photovoltaics
Mitsubishi Electric is unique in the world of
solar power because it manufacturers all of the photovoltaic
components itself, thereby guaranteeing quality and performance for
decades to come. Under the Government’s Feed In Tarfiff (FIT) owners
of PV can now earn income from generating renewable electricity,
which reduces the payback period significantly and ensures low cost
energy use for the end user.
