KX6 Compact

 

The whole MHI KX6 Compact solution allows far greater flexibility in installation than the previous system. As well as larger permissible pipe-runs, the maximum height difference between indoor units is up from 4m to 15m. The maximum connectable capacity is up from 130% to 150% – which means that the 6hp / 16kW system can serve up to 9hp / 21kW of indoor units. There is a complete range of KX6 indoor units from cassettes to ceiling suspended, wall mounts and floor standing units.

 

David Lettis says the KX6 Compact will satisfy the most demanding of requirements for economy and energy efficiency. "It can deliver significant savings in energy consumption with industry leading energy efficiency statistics: the 12kW (4hp) outdoor unit for example produces a CoP of 4.33 in heating mode and 4.00 in cooling mode – for every 1kW of energy consumed the 12hp unit produces 4.33kW of heating or 4kW of cooling."

 

It's the smallest, most energy efficient mini-VRF system available – and the new KX6 Compact from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) provides all the 'big system' air conditioning benefits of flexibility and control for smaller office, retail or residential applications of two to eight rooms.

 

MHI Sales Manager David Lettis says the KX6 Compact fills a significant gap in the market. "Until now compact VRF systems have either been too expensive or too restricted in flexibility. The KX6 Compact now brings the benefits of VRF for about the same price as a good split installation. And benchmark tests show it out-performs every competitor in Coefficient of Performance (CoP)."

 

 

The KX6 Compact achieves its best-in-class efficiency performance by combining a number of developments and innovations. These include new vector inverter control and a new twin rotary compressor, coupled with a heat exchanger redesigned for high efficiency and an advanced refrigerant return control system. In addition, the all-new DC fan motor is 60% more efficient than earlier models.

 

Weighing in at just 19kg, the new twin rotary compressor in the MHI KX6 Compact is 20% lighter than comparable units, yet it achieves higher efficiency than other twin rotaries, and is significantly more efficient than scroll compressors. As a bonus, the single or three-phase 4hp, 5hp, and 6hp (12kW, 14kW, and 16kW) outdoor units are just 970 x 370 x 845mm – significantly smaller than earlier systems. In addition, the KX6 Compact has new high speed Superlink II control logic, based on easy-to-install two-wire connections.
