Midea ATA heat pump built for Nordic homes
7th September 2025
GERMANY: Midea is to introduce an air-to-air heat pump for Nordic homes, which is said to produce reliable heating even at -40°C.
Awarded the Excellent Heating Technology Innovation Gold Award at this week’s IFA 2025 in Berlin, the Midea Raynor is planned to launch in December 2025.
Midea recognises that Nordic countries have a long history of using air-to-air heat pumps, often combined with fireplaces or electrical heaters. However, harsh winters and extremely low temperatures pose challenges, as efficiency drops and additional heat sources are often needed.
It asserts that Nordic homes, typically equipped with one indoor unit, face issues with even heat distribution and subsequent comfort.
With full heating performance at -25°C, the 8kW Raynor boasts an A+++ energy efficiency rating and a SCOP of 5.1. Its AI-based Ecomaster function is said to reduce energy consumption by over 30%.
Raynor offers 180° vertical air deflection for perfect heat distribution, directing warm air in waterfall mode towards the floor. Paired with a its fireplace mode, it can also circulate heat from stoves or fireplaces, further enhancing efficiency, while a dedicated silent mode is said to ensure warmth without disturbing sleep.
In terms of air quality, Raynor’s Air Magic+ function is designed to reduce airborne bacteria and viruses, combining temperature control with air purification. A deep self-cleaning mode warms the heat exchanger to 56°C for 30 minutes, eliminating up to 99.9% of bacteria after two cycles.
Raynor’s outdoor unit features a heated bottom plate, ceramic ball bearings, and corrosion-resistant fins made with Prime Guard Hyper Grapfins, tested to withstand 1500 hours of salt water spray. Its high magnetic energy technology compressor is said to ensure long term performance in cold climates.
