Mitsubishi Air Source Heating unit Turnkey fabrication by CHK plc
CHK PLC were approached by Mitsubishi Electric to work with them to supply complete turnkey product for their new range of commercial Air Source heating systems.
Overview
Mitsubishi Electric has launched a new modular range of commercial heating products that will help the majority of buildings achieve renewable energy targets with more ease, reliability and flexibility than any other alternative renewable technology including biomass boilers.
The heating-only range uses advanced heat pumps to provide radiant heating, warm air, sanitary hot water, or a combination of all three. In addition to helping new buildings achieve planning permission, the range can be retro-fitted to existing buildings, and will work independently or alongside other heating systems.
Background
This was a brand new product range for Mitsubishi Electric, designed and developed in house in the UK, Mitsubishi Electric were looking for a strategic partner who would work with them during the initial development period through to volume manufacturing.
Objective
To develop a working prototype unit for field testing and then to migrate from this to a production ready turnkey product that would be supplied fully finished, pressure tested and crated in order for units to be next opened on site ready for installation.
Our approach
CHK’s engineering department worked closely with Mitsubishi Electric engineers to develop a cost effective modular assembly that pulls together fabrications, electronic components and specialist pipework allowing multiple units to be coupled together on site in order to match customers heating requirements.
Benefits
CHK PLC have become a “One stop shop” for Mitsubishi Electric, eliminating unnecessary handling time with our capability of laser cutting, CNC bending, Robotic Welding, CNC Machining, powder coating, Assembly and pressure testing operations all being carried out in-house at CHK PLC.
