Panasonic 9CD081ZA02 R32 DC Inverter Scroll Compressor – 8.5 HP / 102,500 BTU, Vapor Injection

The Panasonic 9CD081ZA02 is a DC inverter scroll compressor running on R32 refrigerant. Thanks to its vapor injection design, it can maintain its capacity and efficiency at low outdoor temperatures, which makes it a preferred choice especially for heat pump applications.

8.5 HP, 102,500 BTU R32 DC Inverter Scroll Compressor

Thanks to variable-speed (inverter) drive, the speed drops when the system load falls; this means lower energy consumption at part load, fewer on-off cycles and a lower noise level. It runs on a 380-415 V / 3-phase supply.
