Environmentally friendly CO2 Condensing units

Why CO2? : Natural refrigerant
Carbon dioxide (R–744) is  regaining its place in the refrigeration world. Driven by environmental concerns, legislation is requiring increased adoption of ‘alternative’ refrigerants, of which CO2 is one.
CO2 is a very attractive refrigerant from an environmental perspective. Zero ODP and “GWP” (Global Warming Potential)=1 means natural substance in the atmosphere.
In Europe a step-by-step HFC reduction has been in place since the F Gas regulation was introduced in 2015.
In fact, not only in Europe but also other countries all over the world have actively been preparing to enact the necessary domestic legislation to implement the agreement for reducing the use of HFCs.
Panasonic is now able to provide a solution in Europe with CO2 refrigeration systems to prevent global warming and to support environment-friendly retail operations.
The following table shows how well R744 (CO2) performs regarding environmental impact and safety.


Reliability is our main target and therefore we offer compressor warranties of 5 years, and 2 year warranties on other components!


CO2 transcritical condensing units VF Series
· Set-points at medium or low temperature available depending on applications (200VF5: ET -45 ~ -5°C, 1000VF8: ET -20 ~ -5°C)
· High COP at high ambient temperature thanks to Panasonic’s 2-stage compression CO2 rotary compressor
· Compact and extremely quiet. Noise level is minimal, only 35,5 dB(A) (200VF5 model)
· Transfer Pressure control for stable expansion valve control in showcases (1000VF8 model only)

*SEPR values has been tested at 3-part laboratory

A. HIGH PRESSURE TYPE BOTH MT&LT 4,0kW / 2HP
B. TRANSFER PRESSURE CONTROL TYPE MULTIPLE EVAPORATOR 15,0kW / 10HP

1. SEPR COOLING
2. SEPR FREEZING

Superior cooling capacity at each evaporating temperature
CO2 Transcritical Condensing units have a high cooling capacity at each set point.
CO2 2-stage compression rotary compressor developed by Panasonic is
designed to compress CO2 refrigerant twice; it reduces load in operation
by half compared with 1-stage refrigerant compression and delivers better durability and reliability.
