Since the introduction of a direct service to the Irish market in 2002 Sanyo Airconditioners have been successful in securing a significant share of VRF projects within this growing market.

A testimony to the success of Sanyo, and its appointed network of professional and experienced representatives , can be seen in such projects as Cherrywood development.

These new offices, home to one of the world's largest IT specialists, comprise a four-storey, 120,000 sq ft building which accommodates approximately 500 staff.  The indoor environment for today's and future needs is delivered by the Sanyo ECO range which ensures premium-quality air, optimum energy efficiency, and reliable performance.

Crystal Air, one of Sanyo's leading distributors, worked very closely with the design management team and Sanyo personnell to devise the most appropriate solution fo the projects needs. Drawing from their combined experiences of large and complex installations, a system was presented which utilises the latest R410a refrigerant and technology, while harmonising with the client's corporate stance on environmental responsibility

The final solution comprised a total of 1560kW cooling capacity via 212 SPW-UR concealed ducted indoor units with 42 rooftop ECOi outdoor condensing units. Crystal Air's solution also limited the supply air temperature to a minimum of 12C, therefore ensuring that cold draughts that can be inherent with other VRF systems are completely avoided.

Domnick Ward of Crystal Air explains: "When we put the scheme together we were very clear in what we wanted to provide... an effective and controllable air conditioning solution for the 21st century office environment. The Sanyo ECO range offers the flexibility and energy efficiency demanded by such a large company.

"Specifying Sanyo on this project gave our customer the added peace of mind that comes with dealing with a world leading manufacturer, backed by the support of our dedicated installation and service team" he concluded
