Toshiba Air Conditioning Wins Awards
Toshiba Air Conditioning has recently (Jan 2009) won two "Energy Conservation Grand Prizes" for its Super Digital Inverter and Super Daiseikai ranges of equipment.
The Super Digital Inverter - 4 Series range won the "Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Prize. All models in the Super Digital Inverter - 4 series, have attained the world's best class (JIS B8616) annual performance factor.
The main features are as follows:
(1) 10 rps Economy Drive Control function which greatly contributes to a reduction in running cost This function causes the outdoor unit's DC twin rotary compressor to run at a ultra low speed of 10 rps. It enhances energy efficiency by changing intermittent operation which tends to occur under low load or when room temperature reaches the preset value and operation stabilizes, over to continuous operation.
(2) Self Cleaning function This function enables the 4-way cassette to maintain energy efficiency for longer times.
(3) In order to facilitate the spread of space heating with a heat pump, the new models have been improved so that they can perform space heating even when outside temperature is -20?C. The award winning Super Power Eco Cube series models are also sold overseas as the Super Digital Inverter 4 series in a full lineup of 1.5, 1.7, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hp.
The Super Daiseikai range won the "Chairman of Energy Conservation Center" Prize in the 19th Energy Conservation Grand Prize Program (aimed to commend highly energy saving equipment/systems) for 2008. This program is sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
The award winners were highly rated for excellent energy saving technologies in the store, office and residential air conditioner segment. The residential ‘DAISEIKAI’ air conditioner series received this prize for the second year in succession.
Reducing CO2 emissions from the commercial and residential sectors has become an issue of top priority. Since energy consumption by air conditioners at stores, offices and homes accounts for about 30% of total energy consumption, it is very important to attain further energy savings in the field of air conditioning. In these circumstances, Toshiba Air conditioning has promoted energy savings by laying emphasis on improvement of air conditioner efficiency during stable operation which greatly affects the energy consumption.
The 'Super DAISEIKAI' series has realized the industry's top-class energy efficiency.
(1) This series has incorporated Toshiba's own Dual stage compressor which operates at high efficiency over the entire capacity range from large capacity at the start of operation to small capacity when room temperature has stabilized. The new models have enabled electric power saving operation which requires such small electric power as that required by an electric bulb under low cooling load or when room temperature reaches the preset value and operation stabilizes.
(2) The new models for the Japanese market have adopted the industry's first 'Energy Monitor' which visually shows electric power consumption, etc.
(3) The new series has incorporated a new air purifier which removes airborne dust or pollen by a plasma ion charger and a hybrid arc heat exchanger with different diameters.
From February 2009, the company began shipping the DAISEIKAI PDR series which won the Chairman of Energy Conservation Center Prize to overseas markets centering on the European countries under the name Super DAISEIKAI.
