Mitsubishi adds R32 inverter models

UK: Mitsubishi Electric has added R32 Standard Inverter and Inverter models to its Mr Slim air conditioning range.

The Standard Inverter outdoor units are available from 2.5kW to 14.0kW and include extended pipe runs on larger models, compared to the previous R410A versions. The outdoor unit can connect to a range of indoor units including ceiling cassette, ceiling concealed, ceiling suspended and wall mounted models.

The Inverter outdoor units are available from 7.1kW to 14kW as ceiling cassette systems and offer a cost effective alternative.

Both Standard Inverter and Inverter outdoor units are said to be lightweight and compact, making them easier to install and suitable for areas with limited external plant space.

In addition, the units incorporate Replace Technology, allowing installers to move to the new systems while maintaining existing pipework. 

“These new models join our R32 Mr Slim Power Inverter units which have already proved incredibly popular and will help even more customers transition easily to low GWP systems,” explained product manager Carl Dickinson. “They enable us to offer a complete range of options from the cost-effective, entry-level inverter systems right through to the advanced Power Inverter systems.”
