overview of the System
The Mitsubishi Electric Air to Water (ATW) heat pump system consists of the following components; outdoor heat pump unit and indoor cylinder unit or hydrobox
incorporating main controller.
How the Heat Pump Works
Space heating and dHW
Heat pumps take electric energy and low grade heat energy from the outdoor air
to heat refrigerant which in turn heats water for domestic use and space heating.
The efciency of a heat pump is known as the Coefcient of Performance or COP
this is the ratio of heat delivered to power consumed.
The operation of a heat pump is similar to a refrigerator in reverse. This process
is known as the vapour-compression cycle and the following is a more detailed
explanation.
The rst phase begins with the refrigerant being cold and low pressure.
1
. The refrigerant within the circuit is compressed as it passes through the com-
pressor. It becomes a hot highly pressurised gas. The temperature also rises
typically to 60°C.
2.
The hot refrigerant gas is then condensed as it passes across one side of a
plate heat exchanger. Heat from the refrigerant gas is transferred to the cooler
side (water side) of the heat exchanger. As the temperature of the refrigerant
decreases its state changes from a gas to a liquid.
3.
Now as a cold liquid it still has a high pressure. To reduce the pressure the liq-
uid passes through an expansion valve. The pressure drops but the refrigerant
remains a cold liquid.
4.
The nal stage of the cycle is when the refrigerant passes into the evaporator
and evaporates. It is at this point when some of the free heat energy in the outside air is absorbed by the refrigerant.
It is only the refrigerant that passes through this cycle; the water is heated as it
travels through the plate heat exchanger. The heat energy from the refrigerant
passes through the plate heat exchanger to the cooler water which increases in
temperature. This heated water enters the primary circuit and is circulated and
used to serve the space heating system and indirectly heat the contents of the
DHW cylinder (if present).

economical best Practice
Air source heat pumps can provide both hot water (providing a suitable cylinder is
used) and space heating all year. The system is different to a conventional fossil
fuel heating and hot water system. The efciency of a heat pump is shown by its
coefcient of performance as explained in the introduction. The following points
should be noted to achieve the most efcient and economical operation of your
heating system.
i
mportant points about heat pump systems
Domestic hot water and legionella functions are only available on cylinder units
or hydroboxes plumbed to an appropriate storage cylinder.
In normal operation simultaneous DHW and space heating is unadvisable.
However during periods of extremely low ambient temperature, the immersion
heater (if present) can be used for DHW whilst the heat pump continues to provide space heating. Please be aware that the immersion heater, used alone, is
not an efcient method to heat the whole DHW tank. Therefore it should only
be used as a back up in normal operation.
The hot water produced by the heat pump is typically at a lower temperature
than a fossil fuel boiler.

i
mplications
If the heat pump is being used for DHW the time at which tank heat up occ
urs should be scheduled using the SCHEDULE function (see page 10).
Ideally this should be during the night time when little space heating is required and economy electricity tariffs can be taken advantage of.
In most situations space heating is best performed using the room temperature mode. This enables the heat pump to analyse current room temperature and react to changes in a controlled manner utilising the specialised
Mitsubishi Electric controls.
Using the SCHEDULE and HOLIDAY functions prevent unnecessary Space
or DHW heating when the property is known to be unoccupied for instance
during the working day.
Due to lower ow temperatures, heat pump heating systems should be used
with large surface area radiators or under-oor heating. This will provide a
steady heat to the room whilst improving efciency and so lowering running
costs of the system as the heat pump does not have to produce water at
very high ow temperatures.

overview of Controls
Built into the cylinder unit and hydrobox is the Flow Temperature Controller3
(FTC3). This device controls the function of both the outdoor heat pump unit and
the indoor cylinder or hydrobox. The advanced technology means that by using an FTC3 controlled heat pump you can not only make savings compared to
traditional fossil fuel type heating systems but also compared to many other heat
pumps on the market.
As explained in the earlier section, ‘How the Heat Pump Works,’ heat pumps are
most efcient when providing low ow temperature water. The FTC3 advanced
technology enables the room temperature to be kept at the desired level whilst
utilising the lowest possible ow temperature from the heat pump.
In room temp (Auto adaptation) mode the controller uses temperature sensors
around the heating system to monitor space and ow temperatures. This data
is regularly updated and compared to previous data by the controller to predict
changes in room temperature and adjust the temperature of water owing to the
space heating circuit accordingly. By monitoring not only the outdoor ambient, but
the room and heating circuit water temperatures, the heating is more consistent
and sudden spikes in required heat output are reduced. This results in a lower
overall ow temperature being required.
