Panasonic takes Inverter technology a notch higher

MANILA, Philippines - Panasonic, a world leader in home applian-ces, takes its now-imitated Inverter technology a notch higher with the introduction of its 2011 line of Inverter-equipped air-conditioners.

Touting its flowing curves, intuitive intelligence while blowing cool, clean and healthy air to protect the health of consumers, the Panasonic split-type air-conditioners for 2011 still promises tremendous energy savings and at the same time introduces a couple of other features that are not only helpful in realizing electricity savings but also reduces energy wastage for the sake of the environment.

This year’s new models include EcoNavi, another global ecological standard innovation introduced by Panasonic, furthering its corporate objective of going “green” in its products but definitely without sacrificing a comfortable lifestyle.

After the success of the Inverter technology that promised huge electricity savings, Panasonic, true to its innovative and pioneering commitment to help protect the environment, introduces EcoNavi, an intelligent and ecologically sound function that works by self-detecting where energy is wasted and self-adjusts its cooling power to reduce energy wastage.

So how does the EcoNavi concept of the new Panasonic air-conditioner models work? The technology employs high-precision human sensor and control program technologies in order to optimize the operations of a Panasonic air-conditioner depending on specific room conditions.

Now how is energy saved? The technologies determine where energy is normally wasted, and then self-adjusts the cooling power to help save energy in the most efficient manner but still continue to enjoy uninterrupted cooling, utmost comfort and convenience.

At the simple push of a button, EcoNavi begins by examining the level of activity and human presence in a particular room. Then, it evaluates if there are changes in certain factors like human location, activity and presence, and then executes the energy-saving feature by adjusting airflow direction and automatically increases the set temperature when there is low or absence of human activity.

The result? Thirty percent savings in electricity consumption for the EcoNavi function.

Another interesting feature of Panasonic’s 2011 air-conditioner models is the AutoComfort. As soon as the button is pushed to activate AutoComfort, it helps keep the user comfortable and even allows him or her to stay on energy-saving mode whenever additional cooling is not required.

The feature detects room conditions while at the same time optimizes cooling comfort for a more energy-efficient operation, inasmuch the same way as the EcoNavi works but with added emphasis on comfort.

The other outstanding features of the Panasonic split-type air-conditioners remain, foremost of which is the Inverter technology, the energy-saving feature that blazed the trail where others followed suit with regard to realizing electricity savings.

The Inverter technology’s incomparable energy-saving performance is what sets Panasonic’s air-conditioners apart from the competition by providing households with up to 50 percent energy savings, the highest in the industry.

It is no secret anymore that the Inverter technology’s performance lies in precision control, where after reaching the set temperature, the microprocessor intelligently and continuously adjusts the rotation speed of the compressor depending on the situation and activity inside a room.

This allows for operating at minimum power, thus saving up to 50 percent in electricity consumption. In today’s situation where electricity rates rank at an all-time high, 50 percent savings in energy present a welcome relief to today’s households compared to those still using a traditional, non-Inverter-equipped air-conditioner.

The fact that Panasonic air-conditioners come with a built-in “Advanced Plus e-ion Air Purifying system” that activates at the touch of a button is also something to be proud of.

The patrol sensor of this system first detects the level of dust particles in the air in a room. As soon as the level of dust particles becomes unhealthy, three trillion negatively charged ions are then released to clean the air of dust and other harmful microorganisms, further guaranteeing cleaner air and a healthier environment as well.
