‘Applied’ umbrella reinforces quality of service

It has been almost two years since Mitsubishi Electric launched its IT cooling and central plant business in Ireland. In that time the company has overseen major changes to the operation of the business. Andrew McEvitt, Client Manager IT Cooling and Applied Solutions Manager, explains the significance of these changes, and how they further enhance customer service.

“We have rebranded the division as Applied which comprises of IT cooling, commercial heating and the chiller and central plant range. Additional staff and factory training gives us a great foundation for growth and we now have a full in house team behind us to help support customers in these areas.

“The commercial heating range has now been added under the Applied umbrella as it is very much complementary to our central plant offering. We have seen a surge of interest as commercial users and specifiers look to move away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy.

Traditional value

“Having worked in the applied sector for many years, it is clear to me that our mission should be to bring the traditional values of Mitsubishi Electric to the applied sector. These include quality, scalability, environmental responsibility, ease of design, consistency of application and ease of operation.

“The e-Series chiller/heat pump range is a prime example of this philosophy. This modular range spans 150 – 1080 kW cooling/heating, has a 5-year warranty to reassure clients, is readily available from stock and uses R32 low GWP refrigerant. This is an ideal solution for commercial, hotel and retail application.

“In addition, the Mitsubishi Electric

Hydronic & IT Cooling Systems (MEHITS) factories in Italy continue to develop products which will now proudly display the ‘3 Diamond’ logo.

“The new Mitsubishi Electric branded MECH/MEHP-iS range of chillers and 2-pipe heat pumps features class-leading SEER and SCOP performance. Built in Italy, it features the best of Italian engineering flair and Japanese ‘Poka-Yoke’ (mistakeproofing) quality. It encompasses a massive operating envelope from -12ºC cooling to 65ºC heating so is suitable for comfort, process and IT cooling applications. Watch out for more additions to the ‘3 Diamond’ branded Applied range coming shortly.

“The same MEHITS factories also build the RC range of IT cooling products, spanning chillers, free cooling chillers, CRACs, fan wall units and telecom units. This is the perfect blend of almost 60 years of Mitsubishi Electric experience in the IT cooling sector and the renowned Japanese reputation for quality and high production values.

Environmental responsibility

“One of the key drivers for Mitsubishi Electric is environmental responsibility. Innovative products such as the QAHV hot water unit using CO2 are just the start of the journey towards a lower GWP and lower PFAS future.

“Meanwhile, HFCs and HFOs will continue to play a part in the cooling and heat pump sector but we also expect R290 to feature strongly in the future for chillers and heat pumps. The QAHV is designed to provide sanitary hot water at scale, particularly suiting the hotel, hospital, multi-residential and commercial sectors. Users and specifiers can be assured that Mitsubishi Electric will be their expert guide in that journey.”
