Air/water heat pumps

Only a small portion of the energy provided by the air/water heat pump is consumed as drive energy. An air/water heat pump therefore requires only a small amount of electricity for its drive, which can also be generated from renewable energies. A heat pump obtains the rest of its energy from the ambient air, thus utilizing a free and universally available energy source. The security of oil and gas supplies has been, is, and will continue to be an issue that concerns us. It is also important to remember that oil and gas, as well as wood and pellets, are finite or limited resources whose price developments are often linked. Another advantage is that since no combustion takes place in a heat pump, CO2 emissions from heating are also reduced, which has a positive effect on the climate.

Many years of experience and a high degree of vertical integration distinguish Mitsubishi Electric as a developer and manufacturer of inverter-controlled refrigerant compressors —the heart of the Ecodan air-to-water heat pump. This is one reason why other heat pump manufacturers also rely on our compressor solutions and choose technology that is well thought out and always state of the art. Inverter technology ensures that the desired temperature is reached quickly and accurately. This reliably minimizes the need for time-consuming readjustments, large temperature fluctuations, and the associated loss of efficiency.

No costly drilling, no installation of roof collectors, no connection to the natural gas network. Simply set up the outdoor unit, install the indoor module, connect the two – done. Quick installation, low installation costs, and manageable investment costs that are eligible for government subsidies are all features of the Ecodan air-to-water heat pump—as is the flexible installation options for the units.

Ecodan heat pumps are also equipped with an SD card slot. This allows individual parameters to be set on a PC before installation and transferred via SD card. This not only reduces the installation and adjustment effort, but is also particularly practical in the event of servicing: operating data and error messages can be stored on the card and read out from the system, which makes it easier to find a solution.

Turn up the heating on your way home from your fall vacation or check the operating status from your sofa: the MELCloud app makes it possible. In addition to classic heating control, it offers you convenient control of the Ecodan heat pump via smartphone, tablet, or PC. The latest optimization of our MELCloud is quite impressive. In conjunction with Amazon Alexa or Google Home, you can benefit from convenient voice control. In addition, guest access can be granted to your heat pump specialist. This allows professionals to check remotely whether everything is OK and, if any problems arise, to locate the cause before they even set off.

Ecodan systems feature control technology that enables integration into a smart grid. This means they meet the requirements of the SG-Ready label (Smart Grid Ready). Possibilities are already being developed for how heat pumps with SG-Ready connections can be used for load management by energy suppliers. A plus point for operators: they will be able to benefit from cost-optimized tariff models. With our air source heat pumps, you are already equipped for the future.
