Mayekawa Mfg. Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Makoto Maekawa; hereinafter "the Company") has established a new experiential exhibition area within the "Mayekawa Academy" training facility at its flagship Moriya Factory (Ibaraki Prefecture). This area, which began operations in April, allows visitors to experience the performance of the industrial CO₂ heat pump "unimo" series with all five senses.
● Background of Establishment
Towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2030, the industrial heat market urgently needs to transition from fossil fuel-fired combustion equipment to high-efficiency electric equipment (heat pumps). While heat pumps have traditionally been positioned as a means of energy saving, the recent trend towards decarbonization has transformed their role into an "indispensable standard infrastructure facility."
In response to these market changes, the Company established this area with the aim of creating a place where customers considering decarbonization can engage in dialogue and collaboratively explore how to utilize heat pump technology.
● Facility Concept: "Certain Conviction Conveyed by Actual Machines"
This facility aims to allow visitors to truly experience the true value of heat pumps through the operation of actual machines, which cannot be fully conveyed by catalog figures or conceptual diagrams alone.
- Experiential Demonstration Appealing to the Five Senses
Visitors can actually see and feel hot water up to 90°C, chilled water at sub-zero temperatures, and hot air up to 120°C (Eco-Sirocco) on site. By experiencing the operating sound, airflow, and temperature firsthand, a concrete image of post-introduction operation becomes clear.

- Visualization of Performance
Operating temperature, energy efficiency (COP), and other parameters can be checked in real-time from the control panel. Visitors can gain a multi-faceted view of "Mayekawa's unique thermal technology" through data and the movement of actual machines, which cannot be obtained from manuals or specifications alone.
● Actual Machines on Display
- unimo AW: Utilizes air heat to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions by replacing boilers.
- unimo WW: Simultaneously extracts chilled and hot water, maximizing waste heat utilization.
- unimo AWW: Optimally selects air and water heat sources according to load conditions.
- unimo Eco-Sirocco: A non-fluorocarbon hot air generator active in industrial process drying, etc.
Our heat pump technology has been accumulated over 50 years, accompanying the market since the delivery of the air conditioning screw heat pump in 1970.
In this historic turning point of decarbonization, we hope that this exhibition area will not merely be a place for product introduction, but a place where visitors can experience the culmination of Mayekawa's "thermal technology" with all five senses. We believe that the quality, operating sound, and overwhelming energy provided by hot air up to 120°C and hot water up to 90°C, which could not be conveyed by catalogs or figures alone, can be confirmed by "one experience being worth a hundred words."
