R32 Hybrid – Integrated Heating & Cooling Solutions
R32 Hybrid is a unique 2-Pipe Heat Recovery VRF System that replaces refrigerant with water between the Hybrid Branch Circuit Controller and the indoor units. This revolutionary design minimises the need for expensive and on-going leak detection servicing and is specifically designed for occupied spaces where quiet, energy efficient, simultaneous heating and cooling is valued.
Why Choose R32 Hybrid?
Building owners, facility managers and the construction industry in New Zealand have been looking for HVAC systems that maximise occupant safety, and deliver high cost efficiencies whilst minimising the Global Warming Potential of the refrigerants used within these systems.
The Mitsubishi Electric R32 Hybrid System provides a commercially viable alternative solution to traditional R410A systems. It addresses one of the most pressing challenges in the New Zealand air conditioning industry on how to tackle high charge volumes and lower GWP refrigerants in large systems.
R32 Hybrid is quick, easy and flexible to design and install using the same control and network as traditional VRF systems. Furthermore, the decentralised system means phased installation is possible with similar high levels of seasonal efficiency expected with VRF.
With water at the heart of the indoor units, R32 Hybrid provides comfortable, stable air temperature control with no refrigerant in occupied spaces, minimising the need for leak detection to comply with AS/NZS 5149. (1-4) 2016.
R32 Hybrid is a truly integrated modern heating and cooling solution for office buildings, hotels, hospitals, medical centres, schools, high-rise buildings, shopping centres and other commercial premises, where occupant comfort is paramount.

Provides Simultaneous Heating and Cooling with Full Heat Recovery
R32 Hybrid is an advanced simultaneous heating and cooling system with heat recovery and delivers a proven alternative solution to traditional R410A VRF systems.
R32 Minimal Global Warming Impact with 66% Less GWP than R410A
Existing VRF units use R410A which has a GWP of 2,088, the newly adopted R32 refrigerant has a reduced GWP of 675 – that’s 66% less than R410A.
Energy Saving
Save more energy by Heat Recovery Operation if heating and cooling operations are required at the same time. The more frequently heating and cooling simultaneous operation occurs, the higher the energy saving effect becomes. Even higher efficiency operation is possible by utilising the Centralised Control and scheduled operation.
Flexible Design and Modularity Allow for a Manageable Phased Installation
The small footprint and modular design means building owners can now take advantage of a manageable phased installation.
Water Instead of Refrigerant Is at the Heart of the Indoor Units
It is based on a 2-Pipe Heat Recovery VRF System but uses water as a heat exchange medium between the Hybrid Branch Controller and the indoor units. As such, the system combines the comfort of a traditional hydronic system with the efficiency and ease of modern VRF air conditioning – giving you the best of both worlds.
Reduce Maintenance Costs and Maximise Safety by Minimising the Need for Leak Detection
Legislation is now demanding that leak detection equipment is installed alongside VRF air conditioning when it is used in small occupied spaces in accordance with AS/NZS 5149. (1-4) 2016.
The R32 Hybrid VRF architecture minimises the need for leak detection in these confined areas. This is because water instead of refrigerant is piped between the branch box and the indoor units mounted in each room.
As a result there is no risk of refrigerant escaping into the room space. In addition to maximising occupant safety, significant up front equipment and on-going maintenance cost savings are able to be realised because expensive leak detection systems are not required to be installed and maintained within occupied rooms.
Quieter Operation Through Water Based Fan Coils
Because water instead of refrigerant is circulated through the terminal fan coils, quiet operation and silent off cycle operation is assured.
High Sensible Cooling and Stable Room Temperatures
Occupant comfort is paramount. R32 Hybrid Systems deliver milder off coil temperatures and are specifically designed to provide a gradual rate of change of temperature within the air conditioned space delivering a comfortable and stable environment. Furthermore Hybrid VRF offers on average a 10% increase in sensible cooling at terminal compared to traditional VRF systems.
