Mitsubishi Electric has announced that its new pre-plumbed cylinder is paired with the FTC-7, its latest flow temperature controller. Designed to seamlessly pair with all Ecodan air source heat pumps, the pre-plumbed cylinder with the FTC-7 is available in slimline and standard sizes of 150L up to 300L and is compatible for both Ecodan R290 and Ecodan R32 heat pumps.
Amongst the key features are a Plate Heat Exchanger with Scale Trap, designed to ensure fast hot water recovery times, a Low Loss Header to automatically regulate the heat pump flow rate for optimal performance and a colour Touch Screen Control.
The unit is also MELCloud enabled which provides remote control, monitoring, maintenance, and technical support, enhancing user convenience and system management.
Technical Improvements
Within the new cylinder Mitsubishi Electric has also integrated several new technical enhancements including a new Isolation Valve Assembly, designed to reduce the number of connections, minimizing potential leaks and simplifying maintenance. The cylinder also features a new Filter that has been specifically designed for use with heat pumps to increase overall efficiency and there is improved clamping in the FTC-7 which facilitates the routing of 240V power cables, enhancing installation safety and ease.
Commenting on the launch of the new pre-plumbed cylinder, Head of Product Marketing and Communications, James Chaplen said: “At Mitsubishi Electric, we believe that the key to advancing heating technology lies in understanding the needs of those who bring our innovations to life—our installers. When designing our new pre-plumbed cylinder, we placed installers at the forefront of decisions.
“Our goal was to create a solution that is both advanced in terms of functionality and intuitive, whilst also being straightforward to install and configure. Our new pre-plumbed cylinder includes Flow Temperature Controller (FTC-7) with Main Controller and Temperature Sensors, Heat Pump Filter, Pumps and Valves for Primary Circuit and Zone 1 and DHW use, Flow Sensor, Plate Heat Exchanger, Scale Trap, 3kW Immersion Heater, Expansion Vessel, Diverter Valve and Low Loss Header.”
He continued: “By listening to our installer community, we are able deliver a product that enhances efficiency and reliability. The new pre-plumbed cylinder reflects our commitment to providing ease of use, greater flexibility, and robust performance.”
