 | | SANYO LAUNCHES THE NEXT GENERATION OF VRF | | | SANYO Air Conditioners | | 26/08/2008 | | | SANYO Airconditioners Europe (SAE) is celebrating its 50th Anniversary with the launch of the ground-breaking ECO G Power - a new gas driven VRF air conditioning system which supplies heating and cooling while co-generating hot water and electricity.
The revolutionary ECO G Power gas driven VRF air conditioning system is the first VRF system to supply heating and cooling while co-generating hot water and electrical power. This innovative low carbon technology reduces CO2 emissions by up to 30% and has been developed in line with the company’s ‘THINK GAIA’ brand vision which commits the company to use global resources and skills to develop solutions for sustainable coexistence on Earth.
“SANYO has been developing GHP VRF systems since 1980, during which time we have been committed to producing ground-breaking technology. As a result the commercial range of GHP VRF systems is leading the industry in the development of our efficient and flexible systems, making them the natural choice for commercial projects, especially for those with power restrictions. However, the M Series ECO G Power represents another dramatic technological leap forward for the air conditioning industry as the first VRF system to supply heating, cooling, hot water and electrical power,” explains Graham Wright, Product Manager at SANYO Air Conditioners.
SANYO’s ECO G Power has an innovative design and is fitted with a permanent magnet, non-bearing type generator for increased efficiency. A two-way air conditioning system the ECO G Power provides cooling or heating and has the flexibility to be connected up to 24 indoor units.
Each ECO G Power unit has a 4.0kW efficient generator which provides enough power to run 40 indoor air conditioning units or the equivalent of eight computers. Depending on air conditioning load the unit generates from 2 to 4kW of electricity with a generation efficiency
of more than 40%. The system can provide both electricity and hot water in heating and cooling mode. An electricity output to a power inverter allows the power to be used either on site or to be sent back to the grid. In addition the unit has a capacity to generate 22kW of hot water. The 20HP model provides 56kW cooling or 63kW heating.
The ECO G Power is part of the new improved SANYO M Series of gas driven VRF systems which offers increased efficiency and performance. Now more powerful than ever before models in the M Series can connect to up to 48 indoor units offering increased flexibility. Improvements to this series of GHP VRF include increased part-load performance, reduced gas consumption with Miller-cycle engine and reduced electrical consumption through the use of DC fan motors. The ideal option for sites which are short of power the GHP VRF can use either natural gas or LPG and only requires a single phase power supply.
The SANYO GHP M Series VRF range provides quick and powerful cooling/heating and the efficient recovery of waste heat. Not only is the gas used as the heat source, but the waste heat from combustion is also recovered and re-used. In addition, the use of engine waste heat ensures that the system needs no defrost cycle, therefore providing 100% heat performance in severe weather conditions with an outside temperature as low as -20°C. During cooling mode the rejected heat from the engine is available for use in a DHW system and can supply up to 22kW of hot water at 65°C.
The M Series range utilises the non-ozone depleting R410A refrigerant, bringing increased system performance and energy efficiency, which in turn means lower operating costs. The GHP VRF systems have the lowest nitrogen oxide emissions, 66% below the standard. In a pioneering development, the SANYO GHP features a brand new lean-burn combustion system that utilises air fuel ratio feedback control to reduce NOx emissions to an all-time low. | |
