City Multi YXM offers improved R32 performance

UK: Mitsubishi Electric has launched a new range of its City Multi R32 VRF air conditioning, promising improved performances and 20% reductions in both running costs and operational carbon.

With capacities from 12kW to 112kW in both heat pump and heat recovery versions, the new City Multi R32 YXM also offers outdoor units with a 6% smaller footprint than average.

It can support up to 50 indoor units from a single outdoor unit, with multiple units combining to offering capacities of up to 112kW. 

The range has been completely re-engineered to include a special patented vertical flat tube heat exchanger, new defrost technology and high seasonal efficiencies. It also provides a 30-year lifespan on its BS EN378 compliant low-level leak detectors.

Featuring Mitsubishi Electric’s patented 2-pipe design and using lower global warming potential (GWP) R32 refrigerant, the range delivers powerful, scalable performance with reduced refrigerant volume and simplified plug and play installation. The 2-pipe design also significantly reduces the number of brazing points and saves riser space.

Mitsubishi also claims market-leading low noise levels with a five-step low noise mode.

The range features a low-level sensor and alarm kit with its own power supply. If a leak is detected, an audible and visual alarm is heard, alongside the respective shut-off valve closing. The affected indoor unit will stop operating, while the remaining indoor units continue to operate. 

The system’s centralised controller allows users to monitor and control multiple indoor units from a single interface anywhere in the world and enables advanced scheduling, energy optimisation, and system diagnostics.
