Maximum energy efficiency with minimal energy consumption
 |
| A Heat Pump leverages heat from its surroundings.
It transfers more heat energy than it consumes. |
Air-conditioning systems based on Mitsubishi Electric technology achieve average COP
(Coefficient of Performance) figures of more than four. This means that to achieve
four kilowatts of heating or cooling power, they use an average of less than one
kilowatt of electricity.
A conventional heating system such as an electric or gas boiler has a COP of less
than one. This means that it burns more than one kilowatt of power to produce a
kilowatt of heating power.

Heat Pumps reduce energy consumption
|
 |
Mitsubishi Electric’s Heat Pump technology achieves optimum indoor room comfort
levels with a fraction of the energy required by a conventional heating system.
A conventional heating system such as an electric bar heater or gas heating system
gets all of its heat from its actual energy source.
In contrast, the small amount of the electrical energy consumed by a Heat Pump is only used to
drive the compressor. The refrigerant absorbs or releases far more heat energy during evaporation
and condensation than it takes to pump the refrigerant around the system.
