MHI Thermal Systems to Launch New 2026 Models of the S Series High-Capacity Residential-Use Air-Conditioners for the Japanese Market
– All S Series designs fulfill financial 2027 energy performance requirements
– Released sequentially from mid-November
(Available just in the Japanese market)
TOKYO, October 21, 2025 – (JCN Newswire) – Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd., a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, will release brand-new 2026 designs of its state-of-the-art S Series of residential-use air-conditioners for the Japanese market, starting in mid-November. The big capability 6.3 kW, 7.1 kW and 8.0 kW designs satisfy Japan’s brand-new energy effectiveness requirements for financial 2027. As an outcome, together with the 2.2 kW to 5.6 kW designs, all designs in the S Series satisfy the brand-new requirements, lowering power intake even in bigger areas such as living spaces, and offering comfy a/c while being eco-friendly.
Functions of the New Models
1. Compliance with Japan’s brand-new energy effectiveness requirements for financial 2027
Modifications to the heat exchanger and compressor in the indoor and outside systems have actually decreased power usage compared to previous designs, fulfilling the brand-new energy performance requirements targeted for financial 2027. In these brand-new designs, the Annual Performance Factor (APF) has actually been enhanced by 0.2 to 0.3 portion points for each design, even more boosting energy-saving efficiency.
2. 2 kinds of sensing units, and functions utilizing ions and ozone, to preserve convenience and tidiness
1) A comfy environment offered by 2 kinds of sensing units (movement and thermal sensing units)
The “AI Automatic Comfort” running mode utilizes a movement sensing unit to identify the motion of individuals, and a thermal sensing unit to discover the area of individuals and modifications in the temperature level of walls and floorings, with an AI system to immediately enhance convenience and energy performance. The “Sensor-Guided Airflow” and “Breeze Direction” running modes instantly control the instructions of the air flow, keeping a comfy living area according to the indoor conditions.
AI Automatic Comfort Mode
An AI system examines the status of individuals and the interior of the space utilizing 2 kinds of sensing units, and instantly controls the temperature level. In addition, the AI discovers how the space cools and warms, recognizing convenience.
Sensor-Guided Airflow
2 kinds of sensing units are utilized to find the position of the space residents and the temperature level of the walls and floorings, and immediately manage the instructions of the air flow. Great changes offer mild air flow, decreasing pain from being too cold or direct exposure to the breeze.
2) A tidy environment offered by functions utilizing ions and ozone
The “Refreshing Ion Mode” releases unfavorable ions to hinder the expansion of infections, germs, and mold. The “Aqua Ozone Mode” floods the indoor system with ions and ozone to hinder the development of smell and dirt-causing germs. In addition, the “Aqua Ozone Heating Mode” usages heated-air drying to hinder the development of mold germs inside the indoor system. These functions preserve the tidiness of the indoor system and the air in the space.
Rejuvenating Ion Mode
These systems have an ionizer module able to effectively produce ions at high voltage. The release of ions throughout operation hinders air-borne infections, germs, and mold, keeping the air in the space tidy.
Aqua Ozone Mode/ Aqua Ozone Heating Mode
The indoor system is filled with ozone and ions to reduce the development of germs that trigger smells and dirt. Drying the system in fan mode hinders the development of mold and germs. In addition, heated-air drying reduces the development of heat-sensitive mold germs, keeping tidiness.
