SANYO Air Conditioners has become the first manufacturer to offer a VRF system with a built-in option for standard or ultra-high efficiency performance, following the launch of its latest generation Series 6 ECOi VRF system.

Air conditioning manufacturers traditionally offer separate ranges to cater for standard performance and top-end high efficiency requirements. SANYO’s pioneering new Series 6 ECOi VRF, officially launched in the UK in July, embodies both and can operate in either standard or high-COP mode, to suit user requirements – providing a choice for clients.

Standard mode offers the highest capacity while still delivering excellent efficiency, while hi-COP mode delivers exceptional efficiency and low running costs with a slight reduction in capacity.

“End users now have a real choice,” says Bob Cowlard, SANYO’s sales and marketing general manager for Europe. “They can maximise cooling and heating output, while still benefiting from very good efficiency, or opt for ultra-efficient, low-cost running by sacrificing a small amount of capacity.” He added: “This combination technology, embodied in a single air conditioning system, is a real step forward in the market. Coupled with its class leading performance, ease of installation and outstanding features, the new Series 6 puts SANYO in the lead in this key area of air conditioning technology.”
