• Closed-cycle recycled plastic from used home appliances is used in the indoor unit cross-flow fan and outdoor unit panel

• Designed to be easy to clean during use and easy to disassemble when recycling

• Existing pipes can be reused, which greatly reduces waste

• The Move-Eye feature limits wasteful overcooling and overheating by controlling the perceived temperature; running the unit in automatic mode rather than continuous mode saves energy at a rate of 30%

• "Human-Sensing Move-Eye" detects people and provides comfortable air conditioning to areas where people are located to improve energy efficiency by another 10%

• The unit automatically cleans its own filter to prevent deterioration in energy efficiency caused by clogging, without any trouble to the user

• Does not use any substances subject to the EU's RoHS Directive or Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS)'s J-Moss

• Fewer parts and greater use of plastic for a weight of 80 kilograms (16% reduction from the previous model)

• Heat pump: High efficiency achieved with a newly developed twist-and-spiral gas cooler with a 4.9 COP rating (previous model was 4.5) and a CO2 compressor that uses Mitsubishi Electric's proprietarily developed joint wrap DC motor

• Hot water tank: Insulating material is foamed polystyrene that does not include hazardous substances; Heat retention improved by 15%.

• Existing piping and wiring can be reused, which substantially reduces waste

• Plastic parts are labeled to make them easy to recycle

• Uses the industry's first flash injection circuit* to improve heat capacity at low temperatures and improve energy efficiency by some 20%

• Also, Move-Eye 360 prevents temperature irregularity and excessive cooling for additional energy savings of about 30%

• Uses a refrigerant (HFC410A) with an ozone damage coefficient of zero

• Does not use any substances subject to the EU's RoHS Directive or JIS's J-Moss

*A refrigerant circuit that limits rises in exhaust temperature when the outdoor air temperature is low, and maintains heating capacity with low outdoor air temperatures by compressing refrigerant when it is a two-phase mixture of gas and liquid

• Factor 2.02 achieved by 39% lower product weight than the previous model; the industry's lightest compressor for 8.0 kilowatt air conditioners

• Export packaging uses molded paper products instead of conventional wood packaging

• Low RPM performance improved through using Mitsubishi Electric's proprietary joint wrap DC motor and thermal caulking to fix the cylinders in place, which improves energy efficiency by 2% on an APF* basis

  *Annual performance factor. Total amount of heat generated divided by the total amount of power consumed over that time.

• Uses a refrigerant (HFC410A) with an ozone damage coefficient of zero

• Does not use any substances subject to the EU's RoHS Directive or JIS's J-Moss

• Designed to extend the life span of major consumables, such as capacitors and cooling fans, the design life is ten years to effectively help save resources.

• By using an inverter for fan or pump application and controlling the flow rate by changing the motor speed, it achieves a higher level of energy saving compared to the flow rate control using a damper, valve, or motor on-off control. Optimal excitation control (a distinct function in FREQROL-F700) makes more energy saving possible compared to conventional V/f control.

• Complies with the EU RoHS Directive to use alternatives to all six hazardous substances

• Preventing wire electrode breaks improves processing yields and reduces wire electrode waste

• Eliminating wire electrode breaks and controlling energy to match processing variation cuts processing time in half (doubling energy efficiency)

• Uses screws and steel sheeting with hexavalent chromium-free coating; CFC substitute used to cool the processing fluid
