NewswireToday – /newswire/ – Wood Dale, IL, United States, 09/12/2008 – The biomedical division of SANYO Commercial Solutions, a division of SANYO North America Corporation, a global leader in green technology, revamped and redesigned their new refrigeration systems that result in lower operating costs and efficiency.

SANYO, a global leader in green technology, revamped and redesigned their new refrigeration systems that result in lower operating costs and efficiency for the laboratory environment. The improved SANYO ultralow freezers provide increased energy savings while minimizing the carbon footprint throughout the laboratory environment without compromising performance based on the per unit box capacity.

Deepak Mistry, Strategic Marketing Manager said, “The goal of this initiative is to provide technical justification to support the sustainable initiatives of customers and their partners. The results are lower energy costs and less environmental impact with greater efficiency.” Whether your facility is seeking LEED* certification or incorporating more sustainable practices, SANYO offers ultralow freezers that provide a more energy efficient environment.

Test results (based on internal performance data) demonstrated that SANYO ultralow freezers reduced operational costs through higher volume efficiency than competitive units. They also maximize lab space by utilizing a smaller footprint for high density storage, which allows for minimized HVAC loads in facilities and emit less heat into the laboratory, minimizing air conditioning costs by box capacity by up to 25%. Testing concluded that the SANYO MDF-U73VC was 25% better on annual CO2 emissions per box capacity than a leading competitive unit and 25% less than a leading competitor on total annual operating costs for heating and cooling per box capacity. A leading university case study was also conducted on actual ROI cost savings from biomedical manufacturers, concluding SANYO ultralow freezers offer highly competitive attributes for energy efficiency with 25% less total cost, greatly lowering their impact on the environment.

As an additional benefit, all SANYO Biomedical Products are 100% RoHS compliant. The RoHS directive stands for “the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment” and reduces the amount of pollution to the environment.

Test results, case study information and additional data can be viewed on the green campaign site.
