Electric Heater assisted A/C
> Low in operation efficiency.
Burner assisted A/C> Periodical servicing is required for burner.> Requires big installation space.> Big amount of the initial investment.
Liquid INJ COMP mounted A/C
> Limited in injection amount(discharge temperature goes down too much)
> Operation efficiency should be improvedduring injection.
Challenges for Heat Pump*Poor performance at low ambient temperature.*Room temperature goes down during defrost.
Slow in starting up.*Not adequate for use in northern part of Hokkaido.
Required functions for A/Cfor cold climate regions
(1)No periodical servicing is required.
(2)Keeps good performance even atlow ambient temperature.
(3)Highly efficient operation at lowambient temperature.
(4)No drop in room temperaturewhile defrosting.
solution: Zuba-Dan
(5)Can be used in all areas
in Hokkaido.

2. Features of Zuba-Dan models
7/27/2019 Mitsubishi Electric Zuba-Dan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mitsubishi-electric-zuba-dan 8/43
(1)High heating capacity at low ambient temperature
Our ‘Flash Injection cycle’ (patent to be filed) enables to keepthe maximum heating capacity even at -15
oC.
(2)Comfortability
*Improved defrost control:Defrost duration is reduced to one third of the conventional model.
*Quick start-up:Required time to reach the air blowing temperature of 40oC is halved.
(3)Wider operation range <Industry First!>
Heating operation even at -25oC is possible. (conventionally only to -20oC)
> Possible to be used in all areas in Hokkaido.
2. Features of Zuba-Dan models
(4)Easy and quick installation <Industry First!>The ‘Activated carbon filter ’ and the ‘Wide strainer ’ enable the reuse of
existing piping even when the compressor is broken and the refrigerantoil is contaminated.

*Heating capacity gets bigger as the HIC length gets longer.
It depends on the Injection ratio as well but not largely.*COP worsens as the Injection ratio gets bigger.125% Heating capacity / 100% COP is realized when injection ratio is 0.4.

*Heating capacity is improved by 30% even at same COMP rotation speed (at -15oC)
*Heating capacity is almost doubled with increased COMP rotation speed. (at -15oC)

<Purpose>
*3 LEVs operates individually towards different control targets.
*Does individual LEV control interfere each other resulting in unstable refrigerant cycle?
*Most stable control constant is chosen.
<Background>
We apply ‘Quality Engineering’ in order to checkwhether the currently chosen ‘control constant combinations’(current control) is appropriate or not.

*What is the stability of the refrigerant cycle?<Definition of Basic Function>
Starting from the stable condition, compressor rotation should be increasedfrom 60 to 70rps. If the integrated value of SHs in the next 10 minutes issmall, it means the stability is high.

*Point 1 >>> 2
Injection refrigerant (condition 9) is poured
into compression roomExisting refrigerant amount increases to D1 (1+α).
*Point 2 >>> 3
Injection port is closed at the compression roomvolume of Vst2. Normal pressure rise process afterward.
By adjusting the discharge SH at point 3 by α, and
by adjusting Pinj to make the density at point 2 gets D2,
Injection pressure can be calculated.

7/27/2019 Mitsubishi Electric Zuba-Dan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mitsubishi-electric-zuba-dan 28/43
<Standard Accumulator circuit>Refrigerant is pooled in the accumulator during
start up and defrosting. As a result, it takeslong time to start up due to insufficient refrigerantcirculation.
Normal start up: Refrigerant within outdoor HEXmoves into the accumulator.
Defrost: surplus refrigerant is pooledin the accumulator.
<Flash Injection cycle>(1)Start up with a bit ‘return in liquid’ condition as there is
no liquid pool on low pressure side.(to secure circulation amount)
(2)Refrigerant pooled in the receiver during defrostis quickly let return to compressor from injection circuit.It contributes to improve start up characteristics.
(3)Refrigerant circulation amount at start up is securedby Injection.

(1)Quicker start up
*Optimal supply of refrigerant by receiver circuit at start up.
*Refrigerant circulation amount is increasedby Flash Injection.
(2)Shorter defrost
*Defrost is shortened by Flash Injection.
(3)Less frequent defrost
*Less frost on HEX with hydrophilic fins.*Estimation control on Frost formation contributes toreduce defrost frequency largely, especially in lowambient temperature (low absolute humidity).
Better comfort is achievedby ‘Flash Injection cycle’ and ‘new Defrost control’.

As the ambient temp. decreases (below 0oC), the average heating operation ratio increases.>>> The operation ratio improves more by extending the continuous operation duration
with no frost on the coil.

6. Summary
7/27/2019 Mitsubishi Electric Zuba-Dan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mitsubishi-electric-zuba-dan 41/43
(1)Improved Heating Performance*High heating performance & high COP achieved by Flash Injection.*Operation range extended down to -25oC.
(2)Better Comfort*Start up and Recovery from defrost are improved very much
by Injection together with Receiver circuit.*Defrosting frequency at below 0oC ambient is reduced to about 1/3.
(3)Exsisting piping can be reusedeven though the compressor was broken down.
*Since its launch in July 2005, Zuba-Dan has beenhighly appreciated in cold regions such as in Hokkaido.
*Zuba-Dan technology has also been adopted toour City Multi (VRF) since December 2006.
6. Summary: Following functions are realized as the A/C for cold regions
