As a technology-oriented enterprise, Mitsubishi Electric has deep attainments in high-tech fields such as compressors, automation, frequency conversion control, and power equipment, and even Japan's HTV spacecraft and Shinkansen have favored Mitsubishi Electric's technology.
The all-round king of compressors
Compressor is the power source of the air conditioning refrigerant circulation system, known as the "heart" of air conditioning, the first thing to pay attention to when buying air conditioning is the compressor, Mitsubishi Electric is one of the few in the world, one of the manufacturers that can produce a full range of high-performance compressors, mastering many patented technologies such as "CASIMEL cylinder" and "frame structure", the production of compressor performance is strong, and its split air conditioner has been favored by the market for its strong refrigeration, high efficiency and energy saving.
Although the domestic air-conditioning giants represented by Gree and Midea have their own compressors, the split air conditioners produced are even comparable to Mitsubishi Electric in terms of refrigeration parameters, but in fact, the quality gap of the compressor is difficult to reflect by the refrigeration parameters alone.
Mitsubishi Electric's air-conditioning compressor housing is made of high-strength cast iron, which is made by a fully automated machine welding process, supplemented by three-dimensional sensing technology to ensure welding quality. As for the high-speed running parts of the compressor, it is manufactured by high-precision CNC machine tools in Japan, which ultimately creates the reliable quality of Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning compressors, and many old coastal communities can even see Mitsubishi Electric split air conditioners that have been in service for nearly 20 years, highlighting its excellent quality.
It is no exaggeration to say that the words "Mitsubishi Electric" are already a representative of high quality, and many domestic second- and third-tier air conditioning manufacturers are also keen to configure the compressors produced by Mitsubishi Electric, and often use this as a promotional selling point.
Comfort and energy saving come from precise frequency conversion
At present, the market is full of many low-cost split air conditioners under the banner of "inverter", which often use AC inverter technology that has long been eliminated, with poor adjustment ability and high failure rate, and consumers need to pay attention to distinguish.
Mitsubishi Electric has mastered the highest-level full DC inverter technology in the field of inverter, realizing the low-fluctuation temperature regulation of ± 0.5°C of split air conditioner, making it more natural and comfortable, and effectively preventing the occurrence of "air conditioning disease".
In the name of "motor".
As the name suggests, Mitsubishi Electric has always been at the forefront of motor technology. Household split air conditioning products are generally equipped with three motors, which are used to drive the compressor to rotate the compressor at high speed to compress the refrigerant, and to drive the fan to run, which means that the technical content of the motor is inseparable from the refrigeration effect and noise performance of a split air conditioner.
Mitsubishi Electric's compressor is proud of its patented "keel motor", which realizes the tightening of the winding and the reduction of the motor volume, making the internal structure of the compressor more compact, the operation more stable, and the overall performance is also improved by 3-5%, which is quite rare in the field of motors with a gradient of "0.1%", and the "keel motor" has been popularized in Mitsubishi Electric split air conditioners to establish a leading edge in products.
In addition to structural improvements, Mitsubishi Electric has also made continuous breakthroughs in motor control technology, and launched the latest Active Switch technology, which enables the motor to maintain high efficiency at both high and low speeds, and improves the energy efficiency of air conditioners that have reached the ceiling by about 10%, which is very effective, but only the flagship Wufeng FZ series has this treatment.
More than 50 years of flagship - Wufeng FZ series
Wufeng FZ series can be called Mitsubishi Electric's culmination in the field of air conditioning, by many home appliance enthusiasts praised as the "god machine", the first time to see the FZ series of consumers, most of them were shocked by its exaggerated thickness, Mitsubishi Electric is equipped with a four-row W-type heat exchanger, the material is far beyond the traditional double-row C-type design, to maximize the heat exchange potential of the whole machine.
Wufeng FZ as the flagship series, compressor, frequency conversion control and other core materials are naturally Mitsubishi Electric's top level, FZ series is most praised for its excellent low-temperature heating performance, the maximum heating capacity of 3 HP models is as high as 11800W, 2.5 HP models also reach 10000W, minus 20 °C can still blow 40 °C warm air, suitable for China's central and southern regions without central heating and cold in winter.
It is important to point out that the strong heating performance of the FZ series is created by relying solely on high-performance compressors, multi-row heat exchangers, low-temperature enthalpy enhancement and other corresponding supporting technologies, and does not use the electric auxiliary heat modules with high energy consumption and potential safety hazards that are commonly equipped with domestic air conditioners, which shows Mitsubishi Electric's deep technical accumulation.
In addition, the Wufeng FZ series is also equipped with an AI system - Move Eye, which can detect the temperature of the human body and adjust the temperature and direction of the air supply in real time, unfortunately, the accuracy of the Move Eye of the national version is far less than that of the local model in Japan, and humanized functions such as automatic cleaning are not equipped, and the new R32 refrigerant is also absent due to Daikin patent restrictions, but the price has been reduced, about 15000-25000 yuan, only sold offline, and the price of dealers around the country is slightly different.
The mid-to-high-end models are still strong
Mitsubishi Electric also offers a number of mid-to-high-end series for consumers to choose from, such as ZHJ/PZHJ series and AHJ/PAHJ series, ZHJ and PZHJ only have color differences, AHJ and PAHJ are the same. The ZHJ/PZHJ series basically retains the core configuration of the Wufeng FZ flagship, but the heat exchanger adopts the traditional C-type design, with a slight decrease in performance and energy efficiency, and the price has dropped to 10,000 yuan.
Compared with the ZHJ/PZHJ series, the AHJ/PAHJ series only weakens the low-temperature heating performance, which is very suitable for consumers who live in the south and do not have too high demand for heating, and the price is further reduced to 7000 yuan, which is the most cost-effective high-end product series of Mitsubishi Electric.
As for the WGJ series, the performance has decreased slightly compared to the flagship Wufeng FZ series, and the Move Eye is also limited to ground temperature measurement, but the appearance uses a magnesium and aluminum panel with exquisite texture, and the main color of space gray is also more in line with the modern aesthetic style, and the price is about 10000-13000 yuan, which is suitable for the "appearance party" purchase with consumption upgrade needs.
Entry-level fixed frequency machine is based on quality
In fact, the psychological price of Chinese consumers for split air conditioning is still at the level of 2000-5000 yuan, Mitsubishi Electric generally priced more than 7000 yuan, to a certain extent, inhibited consumers' desire to buy, so Mitsubishi Electric also launched DF, CE and other series of fixed frequency machines, priced at 3000-4000 yuan, at this price can already buy domestic inverters, but Mitsubishi Electric has always been based on the market with reliable quality, as for how to choose still need to consider their own needs and brand tendencies.
In general, Mitsubishi Electric has been beating competitors with cutting-edge technology, becoming a high-end representative of the household split air conditioning market, in the fiercely competitive Japanese market only launched high-end models, the price is equivalent to more than 20,000 yuan, in the Chinese market by maintaining the core performance, reducing the price of humanized design, but for China's mainstream consumption level is still high, so the market performance is not as good as the Chinese brands that have caught up.
If you have a sufficient budget and want to experience the cutting-edge technology of split air conditioning, Mitsubishi Electric is definitely a trustworthy choice, in addition to offline stores, Mitsubishi Electric has also actively expanded its sales channels in recent years, opening official flagship stores on mainstream e-commerce platforms to facilitate consumers' purchase.
