SANYO GHP 2 & 3 Pipe Gas VRF Systems with R410A

The ECO G Range is the latest generation of Gas Heat Pump (GHP) VRF systems from SANYO, the global leaders in GHP technology. The newly expanded range now not only consists of 4 x 2 pipe heat pump systems with cooling capacities ranging from 22.8kW to 75.0kW but also Europe’s only 3 pipe heat recovery range with capacities from 45kW – 71kW.

Unlike traditional electric powered VRF systems the GHP utilises an open drive compressor powered by a reciprocating engine powered by LPG or natural gas.

This means that the GHP outdoor units only require a single phase power supply to run auxiliary items such as controls and fans. Consequently, the estimated 40% of business properties in the UK which do not have a 3-phase supply can now benefit from VRF technology.

When compared to traditional electric powered VRF systems the GHP offers the specifier and end user a number of significant advantages.

• Utilises natural gas or LPG as its main source of power
• Full heating capacity is achieved at –20°C
• No defrost cycle means no heating downtime
• Outdoor unit only requires a single phase power supply
• Industry low outdoor noise levels from 54dB(A)
• Produces up to 4 kW of electrical power
• Reduced electrical power consumption
• Reduced gas consumption
• Service intervals of 10,000 operating hours

Fast Constant Comfort

The advanced and efficient design of the GHP provides uninterrupted heating, even in outside temperatures of –20ºC, as the system does not require a defrost operation like traditional VRF systems. Any waste heat from combustion is recovered and re-used to provide powerful heating at start-up and minimise energy loss.

New Eco G Power Produces 4 kW of Electricity

With the part L2 now in force, designers are faced with the conundrum of how to reduce their building design CO2 footprint. GHP technology is recognised world wide as providing a solution to this issue. Now for the first time GHP units can provide up to 4 kW of electricity as well as hot water in both heating (when the ambient conditions allow) and cooling.

Increased Flexibility

SANYO 2 pipe GHP can also be connect in systems up to 50 horse power thus reducing the in connecting pipe work and increasing the number of indoor units that can be connected to a system up to 48 units. The outdoor units have also reduced their weight by 110 kg.

The 20HP outdoor unit can be supplied with an optional internal heat exchanger which supplies up to 22kW of hot water whenever the unit operates in the cooling cycle.
