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-sav-
ing advantages of this efficient SANYO
system extend to lower per-unit storage
costs regardless of the preferred inven-
tory 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 high-
density 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 ap-
pliances, and as a global source of solu-
tions 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 refriger-
ant 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 environ-
mental pollution.
Through RoHS legislation the EU and
other participating countries are banning
toxic substances in electrical equipment
such as lead, cadmium, mercury, chro-
mium 6+, PBB and PBDE.
While compliance with this legislation
has posed a significant challenge for
GREEN
product
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 cer-
tified 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 valu-
able stored products.
If operating noise from refrigeration
compressors is excessive, and/or com-
pounded by installation of multiple freez-
ers 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 freez-
ers. 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
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.
