Mitsubishi Bronte Series Questions & Answers

Thank you for getting back.

The Bronte Brochure says the 6.3 will do 50 sq mtrs if you have an insulated roof and brick veneer or full brick cladding. Look for the bronte brochure on line and download the PDF and confirm for yourself.

I think that it is a matter of getting use to your unit in your unique building area of the home. When cooling I set it at 18C and the next room gets down to 22C, this is fine I feel. It all depends on how big your area is and if you have insulation. My brick cottage does not have insulation. It works great in 40+ C outside temperatures.

Thanks Ian. It is my understanding that if you set the unit to 18 which I have never had to do with any AC, the room temp that the unit is installed in should be near enough (within a deg or so). In my case I just had the MHI tech out today and one of the test he performed showed the unit would not ramp up and cool the room lower then 22.5 deg with the unit set on 18 and on HI mode. The remote wont go lower than 18 and it shouldn't have to in cool mode. We were measuring input power and it was pretty much idling on low power instead of ramping up to cool the room. He's going to return with a new system board and sensors in hope that's the fix. I'm glad at least he confirmed my suspicion that the unit was not operating correctly. This is my 5th AC and I'm familiar with how they should be operating. MHI were great enough to send the tech out pretty quick so I just hope the next visit sees the unit fixed. I'll update here once it's all done.

Thailand

I believe they are made in Thailand

I have not bought the unit yet I need to know the dimensions before I do lou

I believe it can only run one operation at a time so no to cooling when filtering.

Thanks. I was hoping it could run both functions simultaneously, which would be more practical in my scenario since I have indoor pets constantly producing allergen in the air.

Hi my installer did tell me. I think it was fairly high 17 -18amps? Must have its own feed from the power board on a separate circuit and fuse. No way would it be safe on the normal house circuit. It would cause an overload.

As Glen said that is correct and exactly how you want it too work otherwise it would be continually heating or cooling new air which would be very costly. I would also add this aircon a can also be set to filter and dehumidify the air in the house as well as cool and heat. I am very happy with mine and it is extremely quiet both inside and out. Easy to leave running when going to bed so be careful.

I can only tell you it's a damn fine air con! My electrician installed it. Big area yet I only need to run on the slowest fan setting. Super powerful but easy to leave on as its really quiet so be careful when going to bed.

Your lucky it's working, if it wasn't you would be still be waiting for Mistsubishi Heavy laborious warranty procedures as I am, despite my assurances from 2 installers that it is a unit and not installation issue.

I suggest 7.1kw. Simply because those models are the same price ($50 differance but the 7.1kw is more capable. It won't use anymore energy because it runs the same as 6.3kw just can't peak as high and thus quicker cooling on 7.1 I also suggest it because it sounds like in total there is a fairly large area to cool. I have 7.1kw to cool the main kitchen/dining area because of the price but I should probably should of gotten 9.5kw as my house is completely open plan, very big and has little insulation. It's always better to buy a bigger unit then you think you need as its only a small cost differance initially but can really help with comfort on those hot heatwave days.

Hi can you pls explain bit more.

thanks I will go up to 7.7 kw unit

Hi Malcolm My srk25zsa-w is installed back to back. Outdoor unit is on brackets. Urs one is 7.1 kw and mine is 6.3kw both are bronte series. Mine 6.3kw main unit is installed in family hall and outdoor unit is installed at least ten metres away. Installer got the pipes through the roof and out from ceiling and install outdoor unit on brackets.its safe I was thinking to put readymade slab which you can buy from bunnings. Saves space if u put on brackets that’s all.dimesions ur asking best to ask from air con installer.

Hi Glen, great, thanks for the reply. Would you also please tell me how much drained water (say Qty per hour) I can expect to have discharged from each indoor and outdoor unit. Unit drainage will go onto a solid paved area, for this reason I intend putting in a ground drain to pipe any water away to discharge into a garden area. I see an elbow is available as an accessory for piping drainage. As I noted, I intended using a concrete slab/plinth to mount the outdoor units on. Will I be able/have room under the units to pipe the drainage away, and what size is the elbow and pipe? (presume PVC plumbing pipe is used?). Because, I note that installation instructions state a 100mm clearance is required under the mounting feet/face for drain piping. Why is so much clearance needed? This clearance is surely only needed to pass a small drain pipe under the unit?
Thanks and Regards,
Malcolm
