V.I.P.™ Series Green Product Features SANYO V.I.P.™ Green Initiative Program With a capacity of up to 57,600 two-inch vials in fiberboard boxes, the energy-saving advantages of this efficient SANYO system extend to lower per-unit storage costs regardless of the preferred inventory configuration. • SANYO freezers are designed to support LEED certification associated with the U.S. Green Building Council recommendations. • Components are compliant with RoHS directives on the use of hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. • The SANYO V.I.P.™ vacuum insulated panel cabinet design offers highdensity storage in a minimal footprint, optimizing available laboratory space and storage volume efficiencies. • Noise reduction and operating cost efficiencies are integrated into the refrigeration system. • Heat output is limited to minimize the impact on facility HVAC demands. • A microprocessor controller oversees the refrigeration system to regulate cooling cycles, reducing energy consumption. • SANYO Cool Safe™ compressor technology for lower compressor heat internally and externally lower HVAC loads. SANYO is conscious of the need to protect our environment and conserve energy. As a corporate pioneer in life science laboratory equipment and appliances, and as a global source of solutions ranging from energy management to solar power and alternative energies, SANYO remains committed to providing the best possible laboratory equipment for research and clinical needs. 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 non-proprietary refrigerant is available to refrigeration service professionals on the open market. The high stage refrigeration system is available to refrigeration professionals on the open market as well. RoHS Compliance In 2006, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) legislation (EU Directive 2003/95/EU) became effective. RoHS relates to the restriction of hazardous substances and reductions in environmental pollution. Through RoHS legislation the EU and other participating countries are banning toxic substances in electrical equipment such as lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium 6+, PBB and PBDE. While compliance with this legislation has posed a significant challenge for SANYO, all SANYO ultra-low freezers and components are now 100% compliant to RoHS standards. Electrical Standards All SANYO products including ultra-low temperature freezers are tested and certified by an NRTL (National Recognized Testing Laboratory) to assure compliance with US and International standards for electrical safety prescribed in 29 CFR 1910.7( c ). Noise Reduction Ultra-low freezers are often located within research and hospital laboratories or production facilities. Users prefer close proximity for easy access to valuable stored products. If operating noise from refrigeration compressors is excessive, and/or compounded by installation of multiple freezers in adjacent locations, 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. Data is available upon request. Inventory Management The concept of High Density Storage is enabled by advances in SANYO Cool Safe™ compressor design. The cost per 2" box of interior storage space is significantly lower in a SANYO ultra-low GREEN product Because modern laboratories are energy-intensive, SANYO has developed a corporate-wide energy savings and environmental impact approach to new product development. V.I.P.™ Series freezers offer significant benefits through a balance of refrigeration power, cabinet construction and intelligent control over all functions. 22 Guide to Laboratory Equipment www.sanyobiomedical.com
