Mitsubishi moves e-series chillers to R32

UK: Mitsubishi Electric has launched an R32 version of its e-series air-cooled chillers, available in 150kW and 180kW units. 

The new e-series replaces Mitsubishi Electric’s R410A e-series chillers launched in 2015.

Available in both cooling only and heat pump variations, the new modular e-series allows up to six units to be connected together to provide a total system capacity of up to 1080kW.

As well as employing high efficiency inverter scroll compressors, the chillers feature improved heat exchange coils and aluminium microchannel in the cooling only version.

The e-series is said to have an SEER of up to 5.52, a △T of up to 10ºK and internal headers, making it ideal for commercial buildings, as well as low temperature ambient loop heat networks solutions like multi-residential or multi-purpose buildings.
