ECOi - 2 and 3 pipe electric VRF systems

Benets

Ease of installation
R410A has a higher operating pressure with a lower pressure
loss than previous refrigerants. This enables smaller pipe sizes to
be used and allows reduced refrigerant charges.

Easy to control
A wide variety of control options are available to ensure
that the ECOi system provides the user with the degree
of control that they desire, from simple room controllers
through to state of the art BMS controls.
Simple to commission
Simple set-up procedure including automatic addressing of
connected indoor units. Conguration settings can be made
from an outdoor unit or via a remote controller.
Accurate capacity control
To ensure that the compressor capacity is matched to
building load as accurately and eciently as possible,
SANYO has designed its range of 2 and 3 way ECOi
systems to operate with DC inverter and high-ecienc y
xed speed compressors. The system selects the most
ecient compressor to operate by dynamically monitoring
the building load and choosing the best compressor
combination to run.
Easy to maintain
Each system allows the use of prognostic and diagnostic
controls routines, from refrigerant charge control through to
complex fault code diagnostics, all designed to reduce the
speed of maintenance calls and unit down time.
Lower running and life cycle costs
SANYO ECOi VRF systems are amongst the most ecient
VRF systems on the market, oering COPs in excess of 4.0
at full load conditions. The system is also designed to make
sure that we reduce the running cost of each system by
using our unique road map control routine to ensure that
the most ecient combination of compressors are running
at any one time. Improved defrost sequencing also reduces
running cost by defrosting each outdoor coil in turn when
conditions allow.

Since its formation in 1958, SANYO Air Conditioners

has been at the forefront of innovation with its

market-leading research and development program.

From the world’s rst heat pump air conditioner in

1960 to the rst 3 pipe VRF system in 1989, SANYO

continues to deliver leading technology combined

with the reliability and customer service that you

would expect from a global brand like SANYO.

Simple to design
SANYO recognise that designing, selecting and preparing a
professional VRF quotation can be a time consuming and costly
process, especially as it is often also a speculative exercise. So
we have designed proprietary software which is quick and easy
to use and produces a full schematic layout of pipework and
controls, as well as a full materials list and performance data.
Easy to position
The compact design of the ECOi outdoor units means that they
t into a standard lift and are easy to handle and position when
on site. The small footprint and modular appearance of the units
ensure a cohesive appearance to an installation.
O-coil temperature control
SANYO ducted units oer the unique advantage of being able to
oer o-coil temperature coil as standard. This allows designers
to select units using an o coil temperature between 7°C and
22°C. This allows room environments to be cooled without
subjecting its occupants to cold drafts or uncomfortable
conditions. This is achieved without any extra controls or wiring
to each unit.
Wide selection and connectability
With 15 indoor model styles available, ECOi systems are the ideal
choice for multiple small capacity indoor unit installations, with
the ability to connect up to 40 indoor units to systems of 24HP
or greater.
