Features
- 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.
- 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 Suspended Unit - Single-Zone - 42k BTU - R-454B (PCA-AK42NL)
- Line Set - This double insulated tubing transfers refrigerant efficiently between your outdoor condenser and indoor units.
- Drain Tubing - Drain tubing facilitates the reliable and effective removal of condensate from your system. It connects your indoor units to drain locations of your choosing.
- 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. The PUY-AK42NL PCA-AK42NL 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 suspended indoor unit, PCA-AK42NL 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. Ceiling suspended systems are great for applications where the structure or design does not support wall mounting or ceiling cassettes. 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.
