The product line offered by Mitsubiushi Electric Trane US (METUS) is getting bigger while the products themselves are getting smaller. As the world’s population continues to grow and more people move into urban areas, space is at a premium, said Mike Smith, METUS’ senior manager of marketing communications. Building operators are placing increased value on every inch of their properties, even the rooftops. METUS is responding by introducing similar capacity in smaller cabinets.
The newest N-Generation single-module units offer improved energy efficiency, a smaller footprint, and more personalized comfort control compared to prior generations of products for commercial building applications. The units are available in 16-, 18-, and 20-ton capacities. The larger-capacity options limit the need for twinning, allowing for single-module connections and smaller footprints where space is a premium concern. The expanded lineup also allows for twinned connection of R2-Series units up to 36 tons.
