Laboratory facilities present a unique challenge for energy
efficient and sustainable design, with their inherent
complexity of systems, health and safety requirements,
long-term flexibility and adaptability needs, energy use
intensity, and environmental impact. The typical laboratory
is about five times to as much as ten times as energy
intensive as a typical office building and costs about three
times as much per unit area. Any effort to reduce energy use
and environmental impact are heavily influenced by special
functional and health and safety requirements, which need
to be considered in rating and benchmarking the overall
environmental performance of a laboratory.
Elements of the SANYO ULT design that reflect GREEN
initiatives include:
• CFC Free Refrigerants
• RoHS Compliance
• Energy Efficiency
• Noise Reduction
• Operating Costs
• High Density Storage
• Storage Volume Efficiency
SANYO V.I.P.
®
Ultra Low temperature freezers offer the most
advanced combination of low-temperature refrigeration,
cabinet and control technology in the clinical and life science
industry. These units offer lower operational costs than
conventionally insulated models. Space-saving, high-density
V.I.P.
®
vacuum insulation panel construction allows up to 25%
more storage volume in the same or less foot print than
conventional freezers.
SANYO GREEN Advantage Summary
Energy Efficiency
- SANYO freezers provide reduced power
consumption by capacity. This allows for lower operational
costs while maintaining high performance and reliability.
CFC Free Refrigerants
- SANYO was the first ultra-low
freezer manufacturer to employ non-HCFC R508 low-stage
refrigerant, now recognized as today’s industry standard
and widely available. This universal refrigerant is available to
refrigeration service professionals on the open market.
SANYO High Density Storage
- VIP
®
vacuum insulation
panel cabinet, SANYO can offer more useable storage
volume within the same sq.ft. of floor space than competitive
models. The cost per cu.ft. (or liter) of interior storage space
is significantly lower in a SANYO ultra-low freezer.
SANYO Ultra Low Refrigeration System
- Allows for better
temperature uniformity, permitting the entire interior volume
to be used for long-term storage. This ensures greater
system longevity and reliability by minimizing compressor
operating temperatures, efficient location of evaporator
systems around the interior chamber, and balanced
refrigeration system.
Noise Reduction
- If operating noise from refrigeration
compressors is excessive, the working environment is
severely compromised. SANYO has included advanced noise
abatement in all contemporary ultra-low freezers and noise
reduction levels are well below those of competitive freezers.
ISO 14001
Environmental Standard - This standard is
applicable to any organization that wishes to implement,
maintain and improve an environmental management system
SANYO GREEN Ultra Low Freezers
As part of our global commitment to help the environment, SANYO took
the initiative to revamp and redesign newer refrigeration systems that
resulted in lower operating costs and efficiency (Chart 1). SANYO ultra
low freezers provide energy savings while minimizing carbon footprint
throughout the laboratory without compromising performance (Chart 2).
SANYO GREEN Benefits:
• Minimize carbon footprint with less impact on the environment.
• Maximized lab space with smaller footprint for ultra high density storage.
• Reduced operational costs through high storage volume efficiency.
• Minimized HVAC loads and air handling requirements in facilities.
• Emits less heat into the laboratory environment, minimizing air
conditioning costs.
