Suwanee, Ga. - Mitsubishi Electric HVAC Advanced Products Division, Suwanee, Ga., has unveiled its new CITY MULTI^® S-Series outdoor unit, PUMY, with a coolingcapacity of 48,000 Btu/h and a heating capacity of 54,000 Btu/h, according to Meredith Emmerich, CITY MULTI Systems product manager.

"The CITY MULTI S-Series solution offers all the features and benefits of our larger CITY MULTI Y-Series, but for homes and small commercial spaces," says Emmerich. "Each single-phase outdoor unit features Variable Refrigerant Flow Zoning (VRFZ) technology to cool or heat all zones using the CITY MULTI Controls Network (CMCN), making it perfect for a home or small commercial multi-room office building where individuals may desire varying comfort levels."

The CITY MULTI PUMY outdoor unit uses R410A refrigerant and Mitsubishi Electric's leading inverter-driven compressor to use energy effectively, shaving countless dollars off utility bills for end users. A maximum of eight CITY MULTI indoor units can be connected with up to 130 percent connected capacity and are available in a variety of different models, including wall-mounted, ceiling-recessed and -concealed and floor-mounted exposed or concealed units. The CMCN intelligently manages CITY MULTI through zone controllers, system controllers and optionally through a networked PC to manage individual comfort levels and provide the ultimate building comfort solution.

Additionally, an anti-corrosion PUMY model is available for coastal applications, providing protection in seacoast environments. The night-time mode feature on the PUMY lowers the sound level of the unit by decreasing compressor frequency during certain outdoor conditions. The PUMY's demand control feature limits the compressor frequency to reduce energy consumption. According to Emmerich, these features and options make the S-Series one of the highest performing and most reliable products for end users on the market today.
