Features
- 3D i-see Sensor®
- The PLA-AE cassette unit includes an advanced thermal sensor that scans the room for hot and cold spots as well as occupancy. Using this information, the cassette unit can be programmed to direct airflow to certain areas of the zone in specific scenarios.
- Precision Temperature Control Technology
- The outdoor condenser is equipped with inverter technology and an electronic linear expansion valve. These components improve temperature accuracy and system efficiency through precise adjustments of both compressor speed and refrigerant flow.
- Dehumidification
- When the indoor unit runs in dry mode, the coil's temperature stays just below the dew point of the return air, removing unwanted moisture. This improves comfort and reduces the chance of mold growth and other property damage in the conditioned space.
- Multiple Vane Control Options
- Auto mode selects the best vane position based on operating mode, and the swing modes cycle through all positions for maximum coverage.
- Condensate Removal System
- The PLA-AE contains an internal drain mechanism capable of lifting condensate 33-15/32". This simplifies installation and prevents condensate overflow, which can damage or destroy your property.
- Blue Fin Condenser
- Condensers are constantly exposed to wind, dust and salty air that take their toll on your unit. Mitsubishi coats their condensers with an anti-rust coating to extend its lifespan.

- (1) Mitsubishi P-Series Ceiling Cassette without Grille - Multi or Single-Zone - 36k BTU - R-454B (PLA-AE36NL-NG)
- (1) Mitsubishi PLP-41EAEU Ceiling Cassette Grille For Mitsubishi PLA-EA Mini Split Units (PLP-41EAEU)
- Line Set - This double insulated tubing transfers refrigerant efficiently between your outdoor condenser and indoor units.
- Disconnect Box & Electrical Whip Kit - The Disconnect Box & Whip Kit provides a safe and simple way to connect your outdoor condenser to your fuse box.
- Connecting Wire - This durable, insulated wire provides power to your indoor units from your outdoor condenser.
- Outdoor Condenser Plastic Pad or Wall Bracket - We recommend outdoor condensers should not be placed directly on the ground. An outdoor condenser pad or wall bracket will provide a stable way to mount your condenser free from obstructions and debris. Adding these accessories to your order will provide a complete, ready-to-install mini split system. All Mini Split Systems require one Primary Mini Split Installation Kit.
For over 50 years, Mitsubishi has remained at the forefront of the mini split industry thanks to their dedication to providing efficient, user-friendly comfort solutions. If you are looking for unobtrusive zoned comfort, this system is right for you. The PUY-AK36NL PLA-AE36NL is a single-zone air conditioner mini split system designed to bring discreet cooling to any room in a large home or business. A low-profile ceiling cassette indoor unit, PLA-AE36NL, is paired with an outdoor condenser that uses some of the most advanced technology available to modulate temperature without the energy-wasting overshoots and short-cycling associated with simpler systems. As part of Mitsubishi's commercial P-Series, the condenser is constructed with industrial-grade materials to ensure consistent performance in the harshest conditions, making this system ideal for critical applications that require constant conditioning.

SEER2
The U.S Department of Energy has raised the minimum rating requirements starting in 2023 that include updated testing conditions and metrics to better reflect real-world conditions. SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) is a measurement of cooling efficiency over a typical cooling season. It is useful for comparing energy efficiency of cooling systems. The higher the SEER2, the more energy efficient the system.

The U.S Department of Energy has raised the minimum rating requirements starting in 2023 that include updated testing conditions and metrics to better reflect real-world conditions. EER2 (Energy Efficiency Ratio) is a measurement of cooling efficiency under fixed conditions. It is useful for comparing units that will operate consistently under one set of conditions (e.g. server room). The higher the EER2, the more efficient the system.
