Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioning Europe (MHIAE) Hydrolution EZY air-to-water monobloc heat pump range has received global recognition for its design and engineering excellence after being awarded the Platinum A’ Design Award, the highest accolade in one of the world’s largest and most prestigious international design competitions.
The award recognises products that combine outstanding innovation, functionality and aesthetics, highlighting Hydrolution EZY’s ability to deliver exceptional performance alongside installer-friendly design and contemporary styling.
Award-Winning Design
Hydrolution EZY combines high performance with a refined, modern appearance. The unit features a sleek all-black finish complemented by a distinctive silver vertical accent, while its innovative casing discreetly conceals the fan from side views, delivering a clean, architectural aesthetic ideal for contemporary residential developments.
The Platinum A’ Design Award recognises this careful balance of form and function, demonstrating that technical products can also deliver exceptional visual appeal.
Ryoichi Kariya, Managing Director, MHIAE, commented: “Receiving the prestigious Platinum A’ Design Award, at this evening’s Gala Dinner, in Lake Como, Italy, is a monumental achievement for our entire team and reflects our unwavering commitment to developing products that excel both functionally and aesthetically. Hydrolution EZY has been designed not only to deliver outstanding performance and energy efficiencies, but also to effortlessly blend into residential settings . This
award recognises our belief that customers no longer have to choose between exceptional engineering and exquisite design.”
Faster, Simpler Installation
A key benefit of the award-winning Hydrolution EZY range is its straightforward installation. As a fully self-contained monobloc unit, all refrigerant is housed within the outdoor unit, eliminating the need for refrigerant pipework between indoor and outdoor components.
Installation requires only two water connections and an electrical supply, reducing on-site work, simplifying commissioning and helping installers complete projects more efficiently.
High Performance in All Conditions Using the natural refrigerant R290, Hydrolution EZY delivers flow temperatures of up to 75°C while maintaining reliable performance in ambient temperatures ranging from -25°C to +43°C.
This enables consistent space heating and domestic hot water production throughout the year, even in challenging climates, without relying on supplementary heat sources.
Low-noise operation and built-in safety
Hydrolution EZY has been engineered for quiet performance, with a dedicated quiet mode further reduces operational sound levels, supporting compliance with local noise regulations in dense residential environments.
For enhanced safety, the Hydrolution EZY units feature a built-in refrigerant leak detection sensor. In the unlikely event of a leak, the unit automatically stops operation and activates a fan to disperse any escaped refrigerant safely.
Sustainability and simplicity combined
The launch of these new R290 models reinforces MHIAE’s commitment to supporting Europe’s transition toward low-carbon, energy-efficient heating solutions. Combining sustainability, reliability, and ease of installation, the Hydrolution EZY range offers specifiers and installers a straightforward route to compliance and future readiness.
Mission Net Zero
In October 2021, MHI Group, announced “MISSION NET ZERO” – a declaration of the company’s aims to cut its Groupwide CO2 emissions to net zero by 2040. This effort mainly focuses on reducing CO2 emissions from production activities at the group’s own facilities and reducing CO2 emissions at customer sites using MHI Group products. The new Hydrolution EZY series represents a significant step towards achieving carbon neutrality across Europe, aligning with MISSION NET ZERO.
MHIAE is committed to building on the advanced technology and vast experience of its parent company to deliver innovative, integrated solutions that will help realise a carbon neutral world, improve the quality of life, and ensure a safer world. https://mhiae.com/
