Improved social standards and the increasing global population have led to increasing demands for more energy; thus technologies to preserve the once seemingly abundant resource are now a vital part of industry. Mitsubishi Electric utilizes many such technologies in its air conditioners. From unique room temperature control methods to packaging and airflow designs that enhance heating/cooling efficiency and require less energy load, our products operate with industry-leading energy savings.
Mitsubishi Electric's Residential Comfort Testing Laboratory is utilized to research technologies and products that realize greater comfort while using less energy. This is achieved by measuring and analyzing the data of factors that determine the air environment; namely, temperature, humidity, airflow and radiation. In addition to measuring indoor temperature distribution at 2,268 points in four test chambers, we also measure human skin temperature using thermal mannequins. Based on the measurement results, we adjust airflow direction and volume and develop energy-saving features based on bodily sensations, such as the "Econo Cool" mode.
This temperature control feature- that adjusts airflow interval to the body depending on air outlet temperature - allows set temperature to be raised by 2 degrees without any loss in comfort for a 20% gain in energy efficiency.
LOSSNAY energy recovery ventilation systems are renowned for the incorporation of a highly efficient heat-exchange element, which effectively transfers air-conditioning energy from air being exhausted to the fresh outside-air passed into the building interior. This technology gives a temperature exchange efficiency of more than 70%; that means saving more than 50% of the air-conditioning energy lost by other systems when exhausting old indoor-air.
