Specifications

Inverter-Driven Technology

The Ecodan utilizes a heat pump compressor driven by an inverter. The compressors helps to convert free energy from the air and upgrades it to higher temperatures suitable for heating. The inverter control regulates the system to modulate the heat output according to the exact capacity required.

Starting current

The Ecodan operates on a standard single phase power supply and has a starting current of 5 amps.

Noise levels

The Ecodan has an operating noise level of 49dBA.
