What is Mr. Slim Split-ductless Technology?
For many years ductless air conditioning systems have been the quiet solution for cooling and heating problems around the world. The popular, proven and industry best selling Mitsubishi Mr. Slim ductless systems have two basic components: an easily installed indoor and outdoor unit.
The indoor unit simply mounts on the included wall bracket and connects to the outdoor section through a small 3-inch opening in the exterior wall. (To run lines for refrigerant and to drain the condensate). This preserves the security and integrity of your home or office and can add value unlike a traditional wall or window type unit.
Best of all, the sleek contemporary styling of the indoor section will not detract from the decor of its surroundings.
A ductless system is similar to a central system in that the compressor is outside, eliminating the noise associated with wall-type units. The indoor section is extremely quiet and simply mounts on the wall. In fact, a human whisper registers higher on the decibel level than the indoor section of a Mr. Slim. It features automatic oscillating louvers that distribute the air in a side to side motion for better distribution.
Advanced Inverter Technology:
By controlling compressor rotation speed precisely, the innovative inverter technology offers exceptional performance and reduced energy consumption for maximum savings and comfort.
High Speed Heating and Cooling: Compressor rotation speed is controlled according to the cooling and heating demand of each zone. Maximum comfort is achieved by flexibly controlling compressor speed to accurately match operating requirements.
During the winter season when outside temperatures are low, compressor rotation speed is set 1.5 times faster than conventional models for rapid and higher heating performance. The desired temperature can be reached and maintained more effectively.
Bottom line? The inverter system will out-perform a standard heat pump by maintaining up to 82% of its rated heating capacity all the way down to 17 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature ordinary heat pumps produce very little heat (less than half of their rated capacity in most cases) and need to be supplemented with another heating source to keep you warm.
Extra Energy Savings: Energy consumption is automatically lowered when less capacity is required, reducing operating costs by up to 30% when compared to non-inverter models.
Optimum Year Round Comfort: To ensure that a room is never too hot or too cold, inverter technology allows the system to detect subtle fluctuations in room temperature and adjusts compressor rotation speed automatically.
Unlike conventional air conditioning/heating systems that stop and start repetitively, the Mitsubishi Inverter Technology allows more precise temperature control and far less temperature variations.
No Ductwork Needed
Mr. Slim ductless systems need no ductwork. There's only a small 3-inch wall opening connecting the indoor and outdoor units. This means easy installation, less mess, and a better looking home.
Wireless Remote Control
Mr. Slim includes a wireless control center that offers complete control and easy to use functions that don't require an advanced degree to operate. These functions include a 3 speed fan operation, Cool, Heat and Dry operating modes and a programmable 12 hour timer for convenient, customized heating and cooling on/off periods.
Where is the Use of These Systems Most Beneficial?
Spaces where ductwork is prohibitive. These include guest houses, music studios, porch or garage apartments, computer and telephone rooms, small offices, garage apartments, attic enclosures, small rental efficiencies, churches, restaurants, and small two or three room homes.
Why Mr. Slim?
Mitsubishi Electric is the undisputed industry leader in ductless air conditioning technology. The versatility and variety of applications is virtually unlimited. Perhaps you have an older home or business that was built before ducted air conditioning became available and you desire the comfort and humidity control provided by air conditioning and heating.
The Mr. Slim is the perfect answer for spot cooling uncomfortable hot or cool rooms without the expense associated with a traditional centrally ducted system.
Proven performance, long term reliability, and ease of installation make the Mr. Slim by Mitsubishi the smart and cost effective choice.
Why is This Better Than a Wall or Window Unit?
These systems are extremely beneficial if you have a porch or garage that is enclosed and needs cooling or heating, but you don't want to incur the expense of installing a typical system or upgrade your existing system. In most cases ductless systems are allowed by restrictive homeowner's associations where wall or window units are not.
Ductless Mini Splits have also gained widespread popularity for use in telephone or computer rooms where wall and floor space are a premium, but the temperature needs to be maintained at all times. Another benefit is that these systems only require a small hole (3 inches) in an outside wall for refrigeration and drain lines.
Where Can This Equipment Be Installed?
The outdoor unit is designed for ground level or roof-top installation. The indoor unit is versatile and can be installed anywhere inside of an exterior wall at different heights, depending upon your need.
How Do I Know What Size to Select?
Typically residential applications require about 20 - 30 Btu's per square foot. This can vary greatly according to type of construction, insulation, climate zone and the actual demand that will be placed upon the system.
