MILAN, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Midea has officially launched the new V9 VRF system. Addressing owners' urgent need for energy savings, the demanding stability requirements of critical applications, and the ongoing expectations for installation efficiency, the V9 delivers a complete technical solution.
Superior Efficiency That Delivers Tangible Results
Heat exchange efficiency has long been a bottleneck in VRF system design. The V9 breaks through this limitation with its 310° G-type heat exchanger that maximizes heat exchange efficiency under the same footprint, boosting ODU energy efficiency by 15%. To ensure this efficiency remains consistent across all climates, the Phase-Change Refrigerant Thermal Management System maintains 30°C steady coolant cooling, delivering stable output whether in extreme heat or cold, ensuring uninterrupted business continuity.
Uncompromising Reliability for Mission-Critical Environments
For shopping malls, hospitals, and other facilities where downtime is not an option, system reliability isn't just a feature, it's a requirement. The V9 delivers on this need with multiple layers of protection. Its IP68-rated ShieldBox II electric control box provides complete protection against dust, water, and corrosion, ensuring uninterrupted operation even in extreme heat, coastal salt spray, or dust-laden industrial environments. And to ensure long-term stability, three-zoning design isolates power from control wiring, preventing accidental touch interference and phase sequence error.
R32 Refrigerant: Sustainable by Design, Safe by Engineering
R32 refrigerant delivers superior environmental performance with lower GWP, cutting long-term costs. When the industry transitioned to A2L refrigerants, safety became a top concern. The V9 addresses this with integrated leak sensors and rapid-response shut-off devices that eliminate hardware risk. To simplify adoption, the HVACSSP selection software comes pre-configured with EU safety protocols, guiding users through compliant designs in minutes. From environmental responsibility to hardware safety, the V9 makes R32 a practical choice for modern buildings.
The V9 has passed TÜV's first‑ever three‑tier safety assessment for flammable refrigerant VRF systems, earning certification that confirms its internationally leading safety standards. This sets a solid foundation for broader adoption of eco‑friendly refrigerants in the HVAC industry.
The Midea V9 VRF delivers measurable efficiency, uncompromising reliability for critical applications, and lasting peace of mind throughout the entire lifecycle. With this latest innovation, Midea continues to lead the future of commercial HVAC, delivering smarter and more human-centric solutions for a sustainable world.

Midea Launches V9 VRF: Redefining Efficiency, Reliability and Easy Installation in Commercial HVAC
MILAN, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Midea Building Technologies (MBT) made a strong impression at MCE 2026, showcasing three key innovations: the V9 VRF system, R290 heat pump portfolio, and data center cooling solutions, highlighting its leadership in eco-friendly refrigerants and energy-efficient technologies.
Midea V9 VRF System
Midea launched its new V9 VRF system, built on two core technologies: ShieldBox II electric control box and R32 refrigerant.
ShieldBox II features automotive-grade die-cast aluminum housing, reducing volume by 70% to accommodate a larger heat exchanger and boost outdoor unit efficiency. Its three-zoning design integrates IP68-rated protection, while phase-change cooling maintains 30°C steady coolant cooling, extending component life in extreme environments. The V9 uses eco-friendly R32 refrigerant and has passed TÜV's first three-tier safety assessment for flammable refrigerant VRF systems, earning certification that confirms its internationally leading safety standards.
R290 Heat Pump Portfolio on Display
MBT showcased its R290 heat pump portfolio, covering capacities from 4kW to 70kW for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
The Mars Large R290 ATW Commercial Heat Pump, an MCE Excellence Award winner, delivers up to 85°C leaving water temperature with eco-friendly R290 refrigerant. Full DC inverter and dual compressor backup ensure reliable operation. With a compact 0.72 m² footprint and A+++ energy rating, it maintains 100% heating capacity at -10°C and 65% at -20°C.
The Arctic Series M4 and Mars R290 ATW Heat Pumps were also on display, together forming a comprehensive R290 product lineup driving the transition to natural refrigerant-based heating.
Data Center Cooling Solutions
Addressing data center cooling demands, MBT showcased liquid cooling solutions through an interactive diorama. The system integrates precision CDUs, fan walls, and magnetic bearing centrifugal chillers to achieve an annual PUE as low as 1.2. Key products include the AirBoost Vera Air-Cooled Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller and Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU). The AirBoost Vera chiller features dual-power switching and customizable THDi for reliable power supply, delivering exceptional efficiency with outlet water up to 36°C and 20°C temperature difference. Standard indirect natural cooling and eco-friendly refrigerant compatibility make it a sustainable choice for modern data centers. The CDU is engineered with multiple redundancies, leak-proof protection, and 100% tested core components for long-term reliability.
MBT delivers integrated, full-scenario solutions that meet the evolving needs of Europe's green transition. With a continued focus on innovation and sustainability, MBT is committed to shaping a smarter, low-carbon future for the HVAC industry.
