Split systems Mitsubishi Electric: the best models and operating tips

Our life is becoming more convenient and easier thanks to modern technology. It is she who has been helping us over the past years. One of these types of equipment can be called split systems. I would like to consider the products of the Japanese company Mitsubishi, which provides a wide range of products on the market.

The split system allows air conditioning not in one, but in several rooms at once. This is achieved by connecting several pairs of copper pipes for each room. The main advantage of this type of equipment can be called ease of use, since all air conditioners are connected to only one external unit, which greatly facilitates installation. In addition to operation, such systems save a lot of energy. This will be especially useful for offices or businesses, where the power grid can be loaded almost to maximum on a working day.

Another plus is the selection of parts... Even different types, models, series of units can work together, and you will not need to buy a specific unit for each split system separately.

Always pay attention to the equipment before installation. If parts of different power, type and model can be installed in a split, then for this you need to understand what and how to install correctly. The technique consists of two blocks.

• Outdoor unit should be located outdoors. This place can be on the facade of a building, on a loggia or balcony, on the roof. The outdoor unit in its internal structure has a capillary tube, a compressor, a condenser, a filter drier (maybe a receiver), and a fan. Other systems may include a power switching relay, an oxygen shower filter, a split-system control panel, and much more. The complete set depends on the model and manufacturer. Sometimes, due to the active operation of the compressor, noise can occur, but the manufacturer Mitsubishi has brought this parameter to the possible minimum. The power supply is not consumed in large quantities due to the electricity saving system.
• Indoor unit, as a rule, it is located on the floor, walls, ceiling of the room, where the air conditioner will operate. Modern types of these devices can have a large number of functions, for example, an electronic display, a remote control system, a timer, a filter for cleaning the air from dust and microbes, and room temperature control.

Among the main work of the internal mechanism, the following can be noted:

• measuring the temperature that enters through the air flow - you can change this temperature using the control panel that comes with the air conditioner;
• the mechanism for measuring the temperature is located inside the device; such a system will save the system from overheating and subsequent failure;
• the presence of a timer for the compressor - you can set a specific time to turn the equipment on and off; it is useful for a split system due to the fact that the risk of compressor breakdown is reduced;
• interaction of the external and internal channels of the system - for individual control of one of the eight units using the remote control, each room can be configured. If you need to lower the temperature in one room and leave more in the other, then this system will help you realize this.

The connection of the external and internal systems takes place through copper pipes, which are thermally insulated... The operating principle of the air conditioner is that the refrigerant is compressed in an outdoor unit. Heat is generated during this contraction. This heat in the form of freon flows into the indoor unit and there, with the help of a heat exchanger, the room is cooled.

Besides the cooling function, modern air conditioners also have a heating function... The principle of operation is exactly the same as for cooling, but the blocks change their functions. In the outdoor area, freon evaporates, and cold air through the heat exchanger of the indoor unit gives warm air, which heats the area.

All products are not limited to specific models. For the sake of convenience for humans, there are a large number of types of this technique, and the inverter system allows for high functionality. The type depends on the installation and placement of the air conditioner system, and it, in turn, can be of several types.

The main type of fastening for residential buildings. The location on the wall allows you to keep the device clean, adjust it manually (if there are problems with the control panel), and remove it if necessary. The main feature is the placement of the indoor unit on the wall.

Effective in cases where the room needs to be cooled throughout the entire area. Since cold air is distributed over the floor, it is trapped from below and at the same time spreads throughout the room.

This type is built into the ceiling. The main advantage is compactness. You may not even pay attention to this structure, because it does not hang on the wall or stand on the floor. This additionally frees up space in the room.

It can control a whole network of air conditioners with just one remote control. This function is suitable for work enterprises or apartment buildings. It is this feature that will allow you to adjust the temperature in each room separately.

In its structure, it has more than one pair of external and internal blocks. Multi means several, so the number of block pairs is not limited to one... This allows for more power, which also has a positive effect on efficiency. Such systems are intended for large areas.

Now let's take a look at the devices by type of attachment and location.

Wall-mounted options are represented by several types of series.

The most extensive equipment. It features plasma air purification, Wi-Fi control, air shutter system, 3D I-SEE function and much more. Besides the best performance among other models, this type also has a luxurious appearance. There are many colors and shades available for every customer, and the hybrid sheeting will keep the look in its best condition.

Among the "Premium" there is only one model and this Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-LN VG, but in four variations. They differ in performance: 2.5, 3.5, 5 and 6 kW. The more power, the higher the price. And there are also four types of colors: black, white, gray and red.

Has similar characteristics to the "Premium" type, but they are less productive... There is an air purification system, 3D I-SEE function, independent air louvers. These products are cheaper than the premium segment and are also of high quality. Only one model is presented under the name Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-FH VE with a capacity of 2.5, 3.5 and 5 kW. You don't have to choose a lot from the colors, since there is only one - white.

Has a special appearance. Elegant features and high efficiency allow this device to perform at a high level. The main model is called Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-EF VE with power ratings of 2.5, 3.5, 4.2 and 5 kW. The colors can be either black or white.

Small and compact look for small spaces. Despite its small size, it can provide full functionality for its work. The "Standard GF" version has impressive dimensions and is designed for rooms with a large area. The SF standard has a model called Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-SF with capacities of 2.5, 3.5, 4.2 and 5 kW. There is only one color - white.

Quite a simple line with high quality from Mitsubishi. Good performance, average size and low price make this series one of the best in terms of price / quality. "Classic HJ" - a more economical option without some of the technologies that the DM has. The models of these species are similar and have names Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-DM and Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-HJ. The first copy can be with a capacity of 2.5, 3.5, 5, 6 and 7.1 kW. The second option is a little more modest with its 2.5, 3.1 and 5 kW. The colors are only white for all models of this series.

The floor-standing version does not have such a large assortment as the wall-mounted one, but it is also popular among buyers. Modes such as Econo Cool and I Save prevent unwanted drafts in the room. This is achieved through an even distribution of air.

The I Save system allows you to switch the temperature from +18 to +22 degrees at the touch of a button. This can be useful for those who like to sleep in cool temperatures. Other functions include three automatic dampers. Low noise level and compactness make it possible to place this device where it is impossible to install a wall-mounted type of air conditioner. The floor system is represented by only one option called Mitsubishi Electric MFZ-KJ with an output of 2.5, 3.5 and 5 kW. Only white colors.

This option is installed in the ceiling, it will not be conspicuous and take up space. A special feature is the presence of wall-mounted control panels. With their help, you can adjust the temperature without an infrared remote control. In addition to the wall and infrared remote control, there is also a wired one. It is designed as a large backlit LCD screen.

This type of air conditioner can cool rooms down to -10 ° C. This result is achieved by the fact that cold air is supplied from above, and it begins to settle from the bottom of the room. The device can be installed in ceiling cells with a size of 600x600 mm. The device is equipped with a drainage pump with a head up to 500 mm of water column. The model is called Mitsubishi Electric SLZ-KA and can have a capacity of 2.5, 3.5, and 5 kW. Besides the main unit, you can purchase a cassette unit with a capacity of 2.5, 3.2 and 5.1 kW. Of the colors, the manufacturer can only offer white.

The operation of this type is based on the control technology from the central console. This will ensure an even distribution of air in all rooms. In the complete set there is no separate control panel and must be purchased separately. These remotes can be of such types as wired (simplified and modern) and an IR remote control with an infrared signal receiver. There is a static pressure regulation function of 5, 15, 35 and 50 Pa. Low noise level and compact design will allow you to place this equipment in any convenient place.

This variant can combine up to 8 outdoor units at the same time. The whole system is controlled from a central console. With it, you can set a different temperature in each room. The lineup is very diverse. Among the new products are the following:

• MXZ-2D 3.3;
• MXZ-3E 5.4;
• MXZ-3E 6.8;
• MXZ-4D 7.2;
• MXZ-4D 8.3;
• MXZ-5D 10.2;
• MXZ-6C 12.2;
• MXZ-2D 4.2;
• MXZ-2D 5.3;
• MXZ: 8B140 / 8B160;
• MXZ: 8B140 / 8B160 140va (15.5 kW);
• MXZ: 8B140 / 8B160 160va (14 kW);
• MXZ: 8B140 / 8B160 160va (15.5 kW).

The choice should be made according to your conditions. Pay attention to the location where it will be more convenient for you to install the device. If you want to save space in the room, then you can choose the cassette (aka ceiling) option. There is also a significant difference in cost. Some models cost from 50 thousand and more, even reaching 180-190 thousand rubles. For some models, you can choose a different color scheme that can suit your interior.

Choose also for performance. If you want to buy a multi-system that will work in several rooms, then the power will play a significant role. You don't have to think about the configuration, because you can connect blocks of different capacities, models and types.

Before starting work, you must study the instructions, which will describe the entire system of the device. It is also in Russian, so there shouldn't be any problems. If the set includes a wall-mounted control panel or an IR-remote control, then the instructions should also contain information on its use.
