"As a relatively new player in
the UK air source heat pumps
market, we're excited to be
involved in the HVAC 2016
show which brings together
thousands of industry
professionals in one central
venue. We'll be showcasing our
full Yutaki range of products
and the long-term benefits of
heat pumps to an audience
who we believe will be key
in getting renewable energy
sources out into the wider
market," commented Andy
Hooper, UK Heating Manager,

Conditioning Solutions.
Some of the best seasonal
performance figures
Completely redesigned to
meet the needs of specifiers,
installers and homeowners
- and utilising common
components, common outdoor
units and simplified design
to benefit both end users
and installers - the extended
Yutaki product line-up includes
a total of 70 new models
which are more compact for
small installation spaces and
are lighter weight for easier
handling. The introduction
of common components
and controllers, streamlines
product training requirements,
reduces the need for carrying
multiple spares, and lowers
installation and maintenance
time. Performances have
also been improved, with
higher COPs, better seasonal
efficiencies and higher
capacities. All Yutaki models
also be supplied with a new
Cooling Kit accessory to enable
both heating and cooling
modes.
Four new models
Yutaki-S has three new 4.3kW,
6.0kW and 7.5kW indoor
units with dimensions of
600 x 792 x 300mm to fit a
standard kitchen cupboard
space. Efficiency has also been
improved with COPs up to
5.25 and with an Energy Class
Rating up to A+++. Yutaki-S
is suitable for the heating
and domestic hot water
requirements of small to large
properties, and is ideal for
both new build and renovation
projects.
The new all-in-one YutakiSCombi integrated solution
has been designed specifically
for the UK market. The indoor
unit has a built-in 200 or
260L stainless steel hot water
cylinder, as well as the main
hydraulic components such as
the pump, filter and back up
heater, plus a newly-designed
controller. The indoor unit is
pre-plumbed and pre-wired,
making the installation simpler
with less internal space
needed.
High temperature Yutaki-S80,
which generates domestic hot
water at up to 80oC, has been
completely redesigned with
easier connections at the top
of the indoor unit for simpler
installation. Utilising Hitachi’s
unique ‘smart cascade’ design,
the Yutaki-S80 can be used as
a replacement for inefficient
boilers without changing
radiator sizes or any existing
hot water tank.
The all-new compact
monobloc Yutaki-M requires
no refrigeration pipework
or internal unit. With a new
controller, reduced noise levels,
greater outputs up to 16kW
and improved efficiencies, with
COPs up to 5.0 and an Energy
Class Rating of up to A++,
Yutaki-M has been completely
redesigned to meet the needs
of the UK market.
Single menu for all Yutaki
models
A new multi-function wired
remote control is common to
all Yutaki models – meaning
a single menu for all Yutaki
products with a dedicated
installer view, wizard start
up configuration and a more
intuitive menu for quick and
simple commissioning. The
alarm history is also logged
to assist engineers with
troubleshooting.
Talking about the benefits for
end users, Andy Hooper, UK
Heating Manager, Johnson
Controls – Hitachi Air
Conditioning Solutions said,
“Yutaki has some of the best
seasonal performance (SCOP)
figures on the market, many
models are A+++ efficient and
the new wired and wireless
thermostats are simple to use
with weekly timers, holiday
modes and a favourite button,
so it’s a great product range
for homeowners looking to
reduce their energy bills as
well as their impact on climate
change.”
All Hitachi’s Yutaki air source
heat pumps are MCS approved,
eligible for the domestic and
non-domestic RHI and have
domestic hot water (DHW)
Legionella Protection and a
five-year warranty as standard.
