H2i R2-Series VRF Zoning Systems Operate Highest
Performance Heating Capacity at Lowest Temperatures
SUWANEE, Ga., January 21, 2014 – Mitsubishi Electric US Cooling & Heating
Division (Mitsubishi Electric), North America’s leading marketer of intelligent heating
and cooling systems for a variety of commercial applications, has introduced the HyperHeating R2-Series of Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) zoning systems, which can
operate at 100 percent heating capacity at temperatures down to zero degrees Fahrenheit
– the highest performance heating capacity at the lowest temperature in its field. The H2i
R2-Series joins the Hyper-Heating INVERTER (H2i®) family of products, the most
complete family of cold climate heating products.
This patented flash injection technology allows the
H2i R2-Series to simultaneously cool and heat
down to minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit.
“The H2i R2-Series is the most significant
development in commercial cooling and heating since
we first introduced VRF zoning technology to the U.S.
market in 2003 and later pioneered hyper-heating
capabilities in 2007,” says Mike Smith, senior
marketing manager, commercial products, Mitsubishi
Electric US Cooling & Heating Division. “With the
addition of the H2i R2-Series to our family of products,
we now offer the most complete family of cooling and
heating products with cold climate performance
capabilities for almost any application.”

No other manufacturer has achieved the same level of heating capacity at low ambient
conditions from a single source product as the H2i R2-Series – available up to 16 tons. In
addition to heating at 100 percent at zero degrees Fahrenheit, the system can operate at 85
percent heating capacity down to minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit (see chart, above).
“The system is the ideal solution for commercial and industrial applications in climates
such as the Midwest and New England where low winter temperatures can average below
10 degrees Fahrenheit,” says Smith. “The simultaneous cooling and heating capability is
uniquely suited to service buildings in these climates that require varied heating and
cooling points, such as multifamily housing, educational and institutional buildings,
office buildings, data centers and health care facilities.”
The unique two-pipe configuration allows for more efficient design, while the compact
system components, as with all Mitsubishi Electric VRF zoning systems, allow for
convenient application to both historic retrofit and new building construction. One
outdoor unit can connect to up to 24 indoor units, and the heat pump is compatible with
all CITY MULTI indoor unit styles, including ducted ceiling-concealed and vertical(more)

concealed types, and ductless ceiling-recessed cassette, ceiling-suspended, floor-standing
and wall-mounted types. The H2i R2-Series features up to 150 percent connected
capacity.
“This enhanced Hyper-Heating INVERTER technology eliminates the need for
supplemental heat such as boilers, saving installation time, improving energy efficiency
and addressing significant industry demand to provide heat pump operation in extreme
conditions without relying on fossil fuels,” says Smith.
The H2i R2-Series is now available through Mitsubishi Electric US Cooling & Heating
Division distribution channels. For more information, click here.
