3 reasons why a chiller is the most profitable heating solution

3 reasons why a chiller is the most profitable heating solution

1. Peak load: when the system gives up, the chiller holds

Most traditional heating systems have one common problem: they cannot withstand peak loads. Sudden sub-zero temperatures, an influx of people in an office center, or the launch of a new production area can paralyze an old system. At this point, the chiller becomes a savior.

Mycond MCU-YH adapts in real time. By distributing power between the modules, the system activates only those units that are needed. This not only reduces the load, but also avoids overheating, overloading and downtime.

In an environment where every minute of downtime is a loss, this function becomes strategically important. That's why more and more owners of shopping malls, logistics centers and hotels are choosing MCU-YH not for the sake of savings, but for the sake of process stability.

2. A new approach to building modernization without dismantling

A common myth is that to switch to modern heating, you need to destroy half of the building. The reality with the Mycond MCU-YH is quite different.

This chiller has a compact design and a flexible connection system that allows it to be integrated into an existing heating system without completely dismantling the piping. It is often installed as an "auxiliary source" that gradually replaces old equipment.

  1. Installing one module in parallel with the existing boiler.
  2. Transferring part of the load to the new system.
  3. Complete replacement after successful integration.

This scenario allows you to avoid interruptions, plan your budget gradually, and avoid resistance from staff or residents.

3. Hybrid systems: how the chiller works with solar energy

The Mycond MCU-YH supports integration with solar power plants. This synergy provides:

  • reduced costs during the daytime;
  • energy accumulation in the thermal circuit;
  • operation at night due to the accumulated heat.

The advantage is that the chiller itself determines which energy source is a priority and switches automatically. In combination with Mycond batteries, the MCU-YH creates a system with almost zero electricity consumption from the grid in summer.

The result is even lower bills, a higher energy efficiency class for the facility, and the ability to obtain environmental certifications (BREEAM, LEED).

4. Reliability proven by industry: case studies from production

In industrial environments, not only power is important, but also reliability without intervention. The Mycond MCU-YH has proven itself in food processing plants, pharmaceutical production facilities, and data centers.

The key advantages are:

  • 480-stage EXV control - guarantees precise energy dosing.
  • Protection on all fronts: phase, current, pressure, temperature.
  • Intelligent defrosting - the system does not waste extra energy on defrosting.

One example: a pharmaceutical company in the eastern region that saved more than UAH 1.2 million in the first year after replacing its steam system with the Mycond MCU-YH.

5. Automatic self-healing: the key to continuous operation

Any system can face a power outage. But not every system can recover automatically.

The auto restart function in Mycond MCU-YH allows the system to return to the previous operating mode after a power outage without staff intervention. This is especially important for facilities with a continuous cycle of operation.

In addition, the standby mode in the event of an error is another safety shield. The units do not stop forever, but go into standby until stable parameters are restored. This architecture makes the system suitable for unmanned use even at critical facilities.

6. Chiller or VRF system? Comparative analytics

Criterion Mycond MCU-YH(chiller) VRF system
Capacity Up to 3680 kW Up to 150 kW
Scalability Modular architecture Limited by the number of units
Service life 15-20 years 10-12 years
Maintenance Minimal Average
Operation at -15°C Stable Efficiency losses
Cost per 1 kW of power. Lower Higher

Bottom line: VRF is well suited for small offices, but when it comes to heavy loads or large areas, the MCU-YH chiller is definitely the best choice.

7. How the cost of ownership changes over 10 years

Category Year 1 Years 2-5 Years 6-10 Total for 10 years
Energy consumption 145 thousand tons 580 thousand 580 thousand 1 305 000 UAH
Maintenance and service 6 500 26 000 26 000 58 500 UAH
Emergency repairs 1 500 3 000 4 500 9 000 UAH
Total - - uAH 1,372,500

For comparison, the old system with a boiler would have cost more than UAH 2,500,000 over the same period. The savings are more than UAH 1 million.

8. For whom Mycond MCU-YH is suitable: solution segmentation

This is not just a "pump for everyone". Mycond MCU-YH has clearly defined application scenarios:

  1. Private sector:
    houses of 100-300 m²;
    autonomy without gas;
    cooling in summer as a bonus.
  2. Hotels, recreation centers:
    stable temperature in the room stock;
    hot water 24/7;
    savings in case of high seasonal load.
  3. Shopping malls and business centers:
    division into heating zones;
    automatic schedule control;
    connection to BMS.
  4. Production, logistics:
    24/7 stability;
    endurance at temperature peaks;
    self-healing after accidents.

The versatility of the system is that it not only saves money, but also adapts to any business or household model.

9. Intelligent control logic: how the chiller "learns" in practice

The MCU-YH system is equipped with smart electronics that constantly analyzes variable parameters: temperature, pressure, air flow, and load. Based on this, it automatically adapts the operation of all units without user intervention.

The logic of compressor startup is unique: the system turns on only those modules that are needed in stages, which reduces energy consumption and equipment wear.

This is especially important at night or in the off-season, when the heat load changes every hour. Instead of running at full capacity all the time, the chiller operates in a point-to-point and flexible manner.

This dynamic response to the conditions makes it possible to achieve the optimum COP at any given time - and this is critical for long-term operation.

For commercial buildings, this also means lower maintenance costs, as the system does not require constant maintenance.

10. Security without compromise: what protects the user

Mycond MCU-YH is not only about efficiency, but also about complete operational safety. The system features multi-level protection that operates independently.

Phase control, flow relays, temperature sensors, compressor protection against power surges and overheating - all of this works without human intervention. If a problem is detected, the system is blocked or switched to standby mode.

Unlike traditional boilers, the Mycond MCU-YH has no open flames, explosive gas, or high steam pressure. It is an ideal choice for residential facilities, schools, and medical institutions.

Another advantage is automatic event logging and remote error notification, which allows you to quickly respond to any changes in operation.

11. Quiet operation - comfort in daily use

For many users, it's not just the level of savings that matters, but also comfort. One of the often underestimated parameters is the noise background.

The Mycond MCU-YH uses scroll compressors and low-speed inverter fans. As a result, the noise level is lower than that of a standard air conditioner.

This is critical for residential buildings - the system can operate even at night without the need for additional noise insulation. In commercial facilities, this reduces the acoustic load on staff and customers.

The MCU066YH's noise level at full load is only 56-60 dB. For comparison, a typical gas boiler produces more than 70 dB.

12. Climate adaptation: how the MCU-YH works in different regions

Mycond MCU-YH has been tested in various climatic conditions - from humid coastal regions to continental frosts of -15°C. In each case, the system demonstrated stability and compliance with the declared characteristics.

In the southern regions, the chiller operates more in cooling mode, and it is here that it shows efficiency in partial load mode. The system does not "overheat" the room and does not create excessive resource consumption.

In the northern and central regions, where the temperature stays at -10°C and below in winter, the stability of the thermal circuit is important. Here, too, the MCU-YH delivers excellent results thanks to the EXV electronic valve and a sophisticated heating algorithm.

In areas with voltage fluctuations, the system is able to compensate for interference without leaving the operating parameters.

The versatility of MCU-YH is confirmed by practice in any climate of Ukraine.
