Inverter technology

Refrigerant GWP

- Refrigerant leakage contributes to climate change. Refrigerant with lower global warming potential (GWP) would contribute less to global warming

than a refrigerant with higher GWP, if leakedto the atmosphere. This appliance contains a refrigerant fl uid with a GWP equal to 1975. This means that if 1 kg of this
refrigerant fl uid would be leaked to the atmosphere, the impact on global warming would be 1975 times higher than 1 kg of CO

, over a period of 100 years. Never try to

interfere with the refrigerant circuit yourself or disassemble the product yourself and always ask a professional.

Annual electricity consumption

- Energy consumption “XYZ” kWh per year, based on standardtest results. Actual energy consumption will depend on how the

appliance is used and where it is located.

Reaches preset temperatures in approx. 2/3 the time

Sine wave drive compressor control system

Reaches preset temperatures in approx. 2/3 the time

Inverter air conditioners have a full-output operation
mode to reach the preset temperatures in about 2/3
the time of non-inverter models. Once the preset time
is reached, the inverter models switch to energy-saving
operation mode, in which
the inverter circuitry
regulates and maintains
room temperature by
switching the compressor
between high and low
operation modes.

Uses the improved compressor control technology, which adopts
a 180° conductance sine wave instead of the conventional 120°
conductance waveform, resulting in a smoothing of motor
rotation. This greatly reduces energy loss, contributing to higher
effi ciency, and thus higher energy savings.

Inverter air conditioners go into energy-saving operation
mode immediately once the set temperature is achieved.
Sharp’s inverter air conditioners increase
performance effi ciency by using high-power
DC motors for the compressor and outdoor
fan, and a pulse linear expansion valve.

Meeting new Euripean energy effi ciency standards

Starting in January 2013, the previous EER and COP energy effi ciency ratings for air conditioners will be replaced by SEER and SCOP
ratings. The new ratings will provide assessments that come closer to actual use by considering seasonal and climatic variations
in Europe and performance in several modes. All Sharp air conditioners will be accurately measured in accordance with the new
legislation, and properly labeled prior to shipment.

Energy effi ciency classes for air conditioners, except double ducts and single ducts

Sharp’s units for Europe comply with European regulations
that guarantee the safety of the product.

Sharp Corporation is participating in the EUROVENT Certifi cation Programme
with the products listed in the EUROVENT Directory of Certifi ed Products.
Note that Multi-split air conditioners with 3 or more indoor units are not in
the scope of the EUROVENT certifi cation.
