Units Installed in a Modular Building In Sudbury, London
The building only has electricity for its heating so the client opted for heat pump units for maximum efficiency.
We were excited to be commissioned for an interesting project in Sudbury, London. The location was a modular building with only electricity available to meet its heating needs. Obviously, electrical heating is a very expensive way of heating a building, especially a commercial one so we put our heads down with the building project managers and came up with a solution for cooling and heat using heat pumps.
Heat pumps are an integral part of an air conditioning system. They work by transferring heat from one area to another one via the refrigerant. Heat pumps are a particularly cost-effective heating method with air source heat pumps recognised as renewable heat technology.
While cooling, the heat pump transfers heat from inside to the outside thus cooling the inside area. To heat an internal space, heat pumps extract heat from the outside air. The pumps operate efficiently even if the outside temperature is down to -20°C. This heat extracted from the atmosphere is directed to heat to the internal spaces. Air source heat pumps provide 100% of heating requirements particularly in temperate climates such as the UK.
The heat pumps today can reduce electricity usage by up to 50% compared to other heating systems. In addition, they have the benefit of dehumidifying better than standard air conditioning resulting in less energy use and more efficient cooling in hot weather. Combined with the inverter technology supplied by the Mitsubishi external units chosen for this project, the heat pump system is particularly efficient, with simple operation and maintenance and usually a lower initial investment.
In total, we installed seven different systems in the building using a combination of ceiling mounted and wall mounted distribution units and of course our bank of external Mitsubishi inverter technology heat pump units.

Concealed Air Conditioning Units
Simply Air Conditioning London are specialist in many types of AC units, including concealed air conditioning units. Have a look at the images of some of our concealed AC unit work below and read the following article to find out more about concealed air conditioning.
Air conditioning units are not known for their beauty although there are different models that are discrete and suitable when aesthetics are important. One way of keeping cool and disguising air conditioning units is to use concealed units that are incorporated into home furnishings, in suspended ceilings, kitchen units, and plinths of different sorts. There are many styles offering different performance specifications and most air conditioning specialists will offer a variety of options to suit your particular requirements.
If you are renovating or designing a kitchen from scratch and think you may require air conditioning, research the options and incorporate a concealed air conditioning unit into the design. It is far easier to design the feature in at the beginning of the project than as an afterthought.
Most concealed air conditioning systems are ducted with slim units installed within the ceiling. Barely noticeable, the suction and discharge grilles are visible although very often the grilles can be matched to the ceiling colour. This type of application blends unobtrusively in any interior design, leaving maximum floor and wall space for furniture, decoration and fittings. Concealed ceiling air conditioning provides ideal air distribution through the use of ducting and multiple grilles that are unobtrusive.
Most of the major manufacturers offer an ultra thin air conditioning unit, which offers increased flexibility and is particularly suitable for places where low noise operation is desired from a slim line body. This unit is concealed within the ceiling space or a false space or furnishing to allow unobtrusive air conditioning. Flexibility of duct layout allows airflow patterns to be arranged to suit any application.
We recommend discreet air conditioning systems that also have low noise levels for optimum concealment. For one off air conditioning in a single room we can supply ductless solutions that use low energy with minimal visual and noise impact .the Mitsubishi’s mini-split (or ductless) technology is ideal for situations where low energy usage is important with little visual or noise impact.
Concealed air conditioning units can be installed in such a way that they are only on view when in use. For example, an overhead locker in a kitchen or bedroom can be lifted to expose the air conditioning unit for operation.
We are able to offer you a customised design service based on aesthetic values making sure you have a concealed air conditioning system that is low noise, efficient and reliable for your home or office. This service includes a full building survey to define the heat gain from external sources and internal heat sources such as lights, computers, dishwashers, ovens and other appliances in our heat load calculations.
Depending on the room and the type of system either ducted or ductless, concealed air conditioning units are suited to most locations within the home, office or retail space. We are experts at providing this type of solution and offer many different concealed air conditioning units to choose from that will fulfill any requirements.
Concealed systems are the most discreet option — ideal for period properties and open-plan spaces. See how concealed systems compare on price against standard wall-mounted splits.
The Mitsubishi Electric City Multi
The Mitsubishi Electric City Multi – VRF Systems are energy efficient featuring unique 2-pipe technology that provides simultaneous heating and cooling. Up to 60 indoor units can connect to a single heat recovery outdoor unit. Available are Heat recovery systems of 22 – 90 kW and heat pump systems of 10 kW – 140 kW. From this range, the Mitsubishi Electric CITY MULTI Y-Series is a proven performer.
One case study using this technology featured a small museum constructed of sandstone that became extremely hot in summer. As a building with some heritage and pedigree, the air conditioning system needed to have an unobtrusive or harmonious prescence when installed. Mitsubishi were first choice of the project engineers and after deliberation, the CITY MULTI Y-Series Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) units, which included one outdoor unit, and 12 indoor units were selected.
The use of VRF technology allowed one condensing unit to be used for the project. This reduced the total amount of piping runs required, compared to using multiple split systems. Two pipes from the condensing unit easily branched off to each indoor unit.
One of the benefits of the outdoor unit’s compact design is that it was easily hidden within a louvered casing that blended with the surroundings. The indoor units were also unobtrusive and small enough (only 220 mm in depth) so that they could be placed against walls and under stairs.
The selection of CITY MULTI VRF system was also based on proven performance at other similar installations to the client’s complete satisfaction.
Short Installation Time
The installation of the CITY MULTI system went ahead without issue and took about three weeks to complete. The cabling and piping design worked and the visual and physical impacts of the CITY MULTI units were minimal.
The CITY MULTI systems perform well and the layout and units are sympathetic with the look of any building where an unobtrusive air conditioning system is required. From the building’s point of view, visitors stayed longer and more people visited when it was open to the public because of the new Mitsubishi cooling system. The building was not affected visually and there was a minimum of physical impact on the building. The installation also meant that the building was compliant with occupational health and safety legislative requirements making it a grand place to work for its employees too. Air quality is improved and the installation has benefit in so many tangible and intangible ways.
If you have a building in London that needs sympathetic installation of an air conditioning system rely on Mitsubishi products and our expertise to give you an installation that organically blends in with the existing surroundings but more importantly delivers high performance at an affordable price.
Mitsubishi M Series
The Mitsubishi M Series is a sophisticated air conditioning unit for a room that has many benefits apart from keeping you cool or warm. The cleverly engineered system is wall or ceiling mounted and has a sensor that sweeps from side-to-side automatically monitoring the floor temperature over a wide area spanning 150°.
Conventional air conditioners monitor the air temperature at the top of a room to control room temperature and fail to take into account floor-level temperature, which has the strongest impact on room comfort, into consideration. The “i-see Sensor” monitors floor-level temperature to ensure that optimum comfort is obtained throughout the room.
Cold air migrates to the floor, and this can result in excessive cooling. The “i-see Sensor” monitors the temperature at the floor level and adjusts the outlet-air temperature to prevent over chilling
Warm air migrates to the ceiling, thereby failing to warm the floor-level zone. The “i-see Sensor” monitors the temperature at the floor level and adjusts the outlet-air temperature to prevent insufficient warming.
Plasma Duo Filter System
FD Series air conditioners are equipped with state-of-the-art air cleaning technologies including a pre-filter and two plasma-based filtering mechanisms (Plasma Duo) that virtually deodorise and purify the air.
Plasma Electrode
A plasma electrode is mounted inside the indoor unit. An electro-discharge process generates ozone and plasma, which then work together with the two special filters to produce dynamic plasma air-purifying performance.
Plasma Deodorisation
A nanometre scale-meshed platinum catalyst deodorising filter catches odourous particulates that are in the air. Once trapped, the particulates are decomposed and odours eliminated by ozone generated from a plasma electrode.
- Plasma electrode produces ozone
- Odour-causing particulates trapped
- Odour-causing particulates decomposed by ozone
Plasma Air Purification
An electrified anti-allergen enzyme filter is incorporated. A combination of static electricity charged into the filter and plasma generated by the plasma electrode is used to catch bacteria, pollen, and other allergens in the air, which are then neutralised by the enzymes in the filter.
- Plasma electrode produces plasma
- Plasma gives particulates a negative charge
- Positive side of the electric filter attracts the negatively charged particulates and enzymes neutralise them
Highly insulated, airtight residences tend to trap odours, allergens like pollen and mould, and bacteria generated in daily life inside the home. This system keeps the air fresh and deodorised and neutralises the odours in the air making this ideal for homes where people smoke or where there are pets.
