A Better Life, A Better World

Since the founding of Panasonic Corporation, our management
philosophy has driven us to contribute to people’s lives and the progress
of society.

In 2018, Panasonic will celebrate its 100th anniversary. As we prepare to
greet a new century in business, the world is witnessing a major turning
point in the way we live. It is no longer practical to pursue extravagant
lifestyles that consume large amounts of natural resources and energy.
We must create a new way of living that minimizes the burden we place
on the environment, while raising our standard of living. This is Panasonic’s
mission – the creation of new lifestyle values.

Through our complete HVAC solutions, we are committed to delivering
“A Better Life, A Better World” to every customer.

A partner in the lives of people all over the world.

For the Living Inside & Out ECOi™ – Your Building Life Tool

Contractors. Building Support.

At Panasonic, we realize contractors are looking for turnkey installation
and support. ECOi™ is quite simply the perfect building solution. With its
modular design and ease of installation, it’s a solution that can grow with
any building project. In fact, ECOi may just remind you why you got into
the business in the first place.

Engineers. Designing Confidence.

ECOi™ is absolute confidence. Its flexibility allows multiple applications
and installation configurations. With a maximum pipe length of up to
3,280 feet and up to 64 units connected to one outdoor system you can
engineer a perfect solution for all your needs. ECOi is a superior modular
option that provides for floor-by-floor commissioning.

Architects. Design Freedom. Now There’s An Idea.
Nobody understands design freedom more than architects. That’s why
the ECOi HVAC system provides more freedom to meet any design need.
With space-saving environmentally-friendly designs, you can design your
vision first then marry our system within your plans.

Owners & Tenants.

Immediate response to changing room capacity, heat loads, and varying
sun exposures throughout the day means everybody stays cool and
comfortable. ECOi ensures individual zone temperature control so each
office or room can be adjusted for personalized comfort. ECOi can grow
with you. As remodeling occurs and building extensions are planned,
ECOi’s modularity lets you simply add on to the system. With intelligent
controllers, VRF technology and R410A refrigerant, ECOi guarantees
continued energy savings and environmental friendship for years to come.

ECOi has a number of diverse features to meet all your air conditioning
needs, including flexible combinations. ECOi allows multiple indoor
unit combinations that provide you with the utmost flexibility.
The system also allows multiple unit connectivity providing up to 200%
of the total capacity of the condensing unit. This provides 20-39 (6-12 tons)
connected to one condensing unit.

Inverter Control Compressor: All ECOi systems utilize highly advanced
inverter controlled compressor technology. By varying the rotational speed
of the compressor, the inverter control can precisely match the amount of
refrigerant being delivered to each zone. This intelligent approach helps
realize the highest efficiencies during partial-load conditions. This allows
all occupants to enjoy consistent room temperature regardless of any
increases or decreases in the heat load during the day. ECOi quite simply
knows what you need, and when you need it throughout the day.

Lower running and life cycle costs: ECOi VRF systems are among the most
efficient systems on the market, offering COPs in excess of 4.0 at full
load conditions. Using our intelligent control sequence, all VRF systems
are designed to minimize running costs. This is done by the most efficient
combination of compressor, fan, and refrigeration management criteria.
Improved defrost sequencing reduces running cost and defrost cycle.

Commercial office buildings are subject to fluctuating heat levels generated from office
equipment, lighting and varying occupant levels. Also, hotels, nursing homes and other
commercial living spaces often have times when occupants will want either heating or
cooling at the same time. The heat recovery system offers the perfect solution for stabilizing
air temperature by providing all the features of a heat pump system and the added flexibility
of simultaneous cooling and heating from one refrigerant pipe network.

• Ultra high performance: efficient individual air conditioning is possible in buildings
having diverse room temperatures for simultaneous heating/cooling and individual
operation of each indoor unit.

• Effective heat recovery system enables higher energy savings

• Improves discharge air temperature of indoor units during heating and simultaneous
mode operation

• Flexible system design with Solenoid Valve Kit (can be piped up to 98 ft. from indoor unit)

Simultaneous Heating & Cooling Operation

3-Way ECO-i™ MULTI
enables simultaneous
heating and cooling
operation by each
solenoid valve kit.

DESCRIPTION

3-WAY ECOiTM VRF HEAT RECOVERY SERIES

U-72MF1U9 U-96MF1U9

ECOi Heat Recovery series offers the
ability to heat and cool different zones
simultaneously.

Panasonic was the first manufacturer in the
world to develop this energy saving heat
recovery solution. Offering all the features
of our standard heat pump series, the
3-Way solution can offer even higher energy
savings for the building owner.

KEY FEATURES:

* 3-Way Heat Recovery System. Simultaneous Heating and Cooling.
* ECO Friendly R410A Refrigerant
* One Outdoor Unit Connects As Many As 16 Indoor Units

(50%-130% ratio of indoor to outdoor capacity)

* U-72MF1U9 includes one inverter driven Rotary compressor
* U-96MF1U9 includes one inverter driven Rotary compressor

and one AC Constant Speed Scroll Compressor

* Nominal Operating Range (Outdoor Ambient)

- Cooling 14°F DB to 113°F DB

- Heating -4°F WB to 59°F WB

* Ultra Quiet Operation As Low As 51.5 dB(a)
* Variable Speed DC Fan Motor (ESP adjustable to 0.24" wc)
* Flexible Piping Design:

- 984 Feet - Maximum Total Liquid Line

- 492 Feet - Maximum Outdoor To Most Distant Indoor Unit

- 164 Feet - Maximum Vertical Between Indoor and Outdoor (Outdoor Above Indoor)

- 131 Feet - Maximum Vertical Between Indoor and Outdoor (Outdoor Below Indoor)
