The mHEAT KAPI uses a MYCOM HSIII reciprocating compressor with cylinder unloading possibilities combined with a variable speed drive. Unlike a screw compressor which loses efficiency steeply as it unloads, our MYCOM HSIII compressor holds a high efficiency across the whole load range. Because most installations run at part load for much of the year, this delivers a real seasonal energy advantage.

All the main components of the mHEAT KAPI are water-cooled, and the heat they reject is fed back into the system instead of being dumped to the machine room. This cuts heat rejection by about 90 % versus an equivalent air-cooled installation. The result is far less machine-room cooling.

The mHEAT KAPI comes equipped with fully welded shell & plate heat exchangers which have innovative first-in-class multiple functionalities built in, enabling a compact design and improved efficiency.

The mHEAT KAPI utilizes the motor winding heating to ensure that the system remains warm during standstill. This eliminates the need for a separator electric heater.

The mHEAT KAPI features a sophisticated oil return system that automatically conditions and returns oil to the MYCOM HSIII compressor.

The mHEAT KAPI comes with a unique insulation method for the compressor and auxiliary components ensuring condensation prevention as well as improving ease of inspection. This further helps reduce sound emission and heat rejection into the machinery room.

Water cooling allows much more compact components, so the whole package is smaller and quieter, and fits most retrofit applications. The unit ships with an integrated spill-containment tray as standard, and with the optional weatherproof enclosure it can be installed outdoors in a footprint significantly smaller than a container.

The mHEAT KAPI runs on low charge R717 (ammonia), a natural refrigerant with a GWP of 0. It makes the product not subject to F-gas phase-down, and refrigerant leakage, if any makes no contribution to the carbon footprint.

The mHEAT KAPI is a standardized, serial-produced product. This improves component quality and procurement, optimizes stock and production for shorter lead times, and means documentation, and product training is available from the time of ordering.

Several units can be operated together under a cascade (sequencing) control scheme that stages capacity up and down to match plant demand and keeps running if one unit stops. By combining units, plant capacities of 15 MW or more can be achieved.
