Science and Technology Mitsubishi Electric Russia Has Equipped the Refrigeration Department of Bauman University with an Air-to-Water Heat Pump Laboratory Bench

Mitsubishi Electric Russia has been actively providing support for Bauman Moscow State Technical University (MSTU) for several years. In 2013, the partnership was made official with the signing of a memorandum of cooperation.

On June 29, 2015, as part of the corporate program for developing cooperation with higher educational institutions in Russia, the Air Conditioning and Ventilation Department of Mitsubishi Electric Russia installed an air-to-water heat pump laboratory bench at the Refrigeration Department of Bauman MSTU.

For the purpose of hands-on training, the laboratory was additionally equipped with sensors and controllers for the measurement of flow temperatures at critical points in the refrigerant and water circuits. This laboratory bench is designed to support the students who have chosen the Refrigerating, Cryogenic, Air Conditioning Systems and Utilities Department (E-4) of the Power Plant Engineering Faculty in carrying out their laboratory activities using an air-to-water heat pump.

Currently, in conjunction with the Department professors, Mitsubishi Electric Russia employees take part in the development of the unique educational program on heat pumps, including laboratory activities with the use of the laboratory bench, aimed to give the future engineers both theoretical and practical skills in operating advanced equipment.

Social Welfare Help for Volodya

Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. Russian Branch, guided by a global corporate policy of social responsibility, regularly executes various projects and events aimed to help people who need assistance, such as children, large families, and elderly people. The employees are willing to participate in these types of activities in order to provide as much support as they can.

This year, as a sign of support and solidarity in the local community, Mitsubishi Electric made a decision to help one little boy—Volodya Brezgin, who is suffering from an unknown genetic disease. The Russian Branch had found out about Volodya from one of its employees. When the company searched for a European clinic that could accept the child, one German clinic agreed to treat Volodya. The cost of treatment was about one million rubles. Thanks to a contribution from Mitsubishi Electric, the goal has almost been reached, and now only 200,000 more rubles need to be collected. Volodya's parents hope that they will be able to go to Germany this spring.

Social Welfare Culture and Arts, Sports Support for Exhibition Featuring Art Created by Children with Serious Illnesses

The early part of 2014 was marked by the start of Mitsubishi Electric's sponsorship of "Gift of Life," an esteemed fund for sick children. From February 15 to March 15, the fund's 11th art exhibition—entitled "I Am at Home"— took place in Zurab Tsereteli Gallery of Arts.

The art exhibition coincided with International Childhood Cancer Day. The drawings are exhibited every year as part of rehabilitation programs for children undergoing treatment for serious illnesses. The event is aimed to attract public attention to the difficulties children with cancer face and to eliminate stereotypes about the incurability of such diseases.

This year, the art exhibition was a truly multimedia project where works mounted on easels, photos, shadow objects, videos, and mosaics were displayed. Children had created these works throughout the entire year. To share all of the art with visitors, Mitsubishi Electric provided a number of LCD panels and projectors, as well as a system for instant photo printing. They hope that this is only the beginning of a successful partnership with the "Gift of Life" fund.
