Midea introduces combined air conditioning, water and space heating pump

Paolo Lorini, Head of MRDM, has teamed up with top Italian interior designer, Matteo Nunziati, to introduce a new combined air conditioning, water and space heating heat pump solution.

Midea identified a market demand for an all-in-one, compact, and green air source heat pump that minimizes both running costs and space whilst providing heat, cooling and hot water. As he explained, most homes today are installed with several independent systems, with an air conditioner for the summer, floor heating for the winter, and a gas boiler for all-year water heating, which are inefficient, cost too much to run and maintain, and take up a lot of home space. Instead they’ve created a combined air conditioning water and space heating which runs from an air source heat pump.

“Midea has created something completely different: we have integrated all the above systems into a multi-spilt solution that supports up to four indoor air conditioning units, capable of cooling and heating the space, and a water heating module, all connected to a single outdoor unit with heat recovery technology.

In summer, free domestic hot water is available when the air-conditioner is running, as its energy can be recovered and reused for water heating. The system comes in two options for households with different priorities. The model equipped with a hydro unit is designed for users who need both the space heating and hot water supply at no additional cost, while one the with a coil water tank allows for fast air cooling and heating while providing hot water the whole year.” said Paolo.

“Environmentally friendly, versatile, and easy to install, the new all-in-one system is a game changer that will push Midea to the forefront of residential split system development. Midea is excited to offer this revolutionary system to our global customers, and we are confident that it will set a new standard for the industry,” he added.
