We are pleased to announce that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a leader in the development of refrigeration and air conditioning systems, will be a sponsor of the first ATMOsphere Network Shanghai, which will take place on 7^th April 2015.

With more than 80 years of expertise, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has a long track record in developing refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Today, the company continues to strive for innovation, offering high efficiency and environmentally friendly solutions globally. MHI’s product portfolio features CO₂ systems for cooling and heating (both air and water) for residential, commercial and industrial applications, such as its Q-Ton heat pump system and large capacity centrifugal chillers.

MHI Q-Ton heat pump system, the solution for commercial and HORECA applications

Designed for commercial and food service applications, the Q-Ton heat pump is the world’s first system that includes a CO₂ two-stage compressor with a combination of rotary and scroll compression cycles.

Main features of the MHI Q-Ton system are:

• High capacity and high efficiency, even at low temperature conditions
• Easy, user-friendly operation with touch screen panel control
• Ability to connect up to 16 Q-ton units for maximum 480 kW capacity
• Hot water can be generated at night using cheap night-time electricity and stored in a cylinder tank for day-time use
• Lower running costs compared to traditional oil or gas boilers
• Industry high Coefficient of Performance of 4.3 (COP of 2.8 in cold season)

Huge potential for CO₂ heat pump in China

Since 2011, China has become one of the world’s leading markets for heat pumps. In 2012, air-to-air heat pumps represented up to 85% of the domestic air conditioning market, while ground source heat pumps rose from practically zero market share in 2000 to more than €9.8 billion market value by 2015.

Heat pump water heater sales, which accounted for 3.2% of the total domestic water heater market in 2014, are expected to increase to €420 million by 2020 compared to €42 million in 2003. For commercial applications, heat pumps sales volume amounted to almost €4 billion in 2014.
