HITACHI ORIGINAL ADVANCED VACUUM COMPARTMENT

Hitachis Made In Japan 6-door intelligent refrigerator now features the premium Vacuum Compartment, infused with the latest innovation to preserve foods freshness for even longer. The Vacuum Compartment adjusts temperature and cooling period automatically according to type and volume of food stored for optimum conveniences*1. Along with its ingenious Vitamin Case and widened Vacuum Compartment, storing a greater amount of fresher food is now easier than ever.

4 INTELLIGENT SENSORs
The Intelligent Vacuum Preservation system incorporates CO2, Pressure, Volume and Temperature Sensors to automatically detect the perfect temperature that suit the different types of food stored in the Vacuum Compartment*1.

Co2 Sensor

The CO2 Sensor detects CO2 level from the amount of vegetable in the Vacuum Compartment and sets temperature conveniently. A Pump draws air periodically to detect the latest CO2 level so that food is kept at the freshest condition at all times*1. A carbon dioxide sensor or CO2 Sensor is an instrument for the measurement of carbon dioxide gas. In space station applications, measuring carbon dioxide is important whereby CO2 Sensor can be used to monitor the quality of air and the tailored need of fresh air for the astronauts in spacesuits to ensure their safety.

VITAMIN CASE IN VACUUM COMPARTMENT

Designed with the combined Vacuum Preservation and Vitamin Case, the refrigerator promotes nutrients retention and colour preservation. The Vacuum Preservation of approximately 0.8hPa capability reduces oxidation of nutrients, while the Vitamin Case releases antioxidant vitamins to enhance nutritional value of food.

CO 2 Sensor

Frontier Technology

Pump draws the air as vacuum. The Sensor detects CO2 that occurs from food

CO2 Sensor is used in the Space Station

Pressure Sensor
The Pressure Sensor automatically regulates temperature in accordance to the level of pressure present in the refrigerator.

Volume Sensor
Approx. 0.8hPa

The Volume Sensor adjusts cooling speed according to storage volume so that the Vacuum Compartment cools well even when full. When lesser air is detected, which indicates the presence of more food, Running Pump increases in speed to allow faster cooling*1.

Temperature Sensor
The Temperature Sensor re-adjusts cooling temperature to the optimum level when new or external elements that affect temperature change are found.

HIGH SPEED CHILLING WITH NEW ALUMINUM traY

The Aluminum Tray chills faster and defrosts food at a higher speed to prevent dripping, which helps to retain foods original taste and nutrients level.

OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE IN VACUUM COMPARTMENT

Food can stay fresh longer when it is stored at its ideal temperature. With the new Vacuum Compartment , optimum temperature of approximately 1C/+1C is automatically adjusted to achieve ultimate freshness. C02 is detected when vegetable is present in the fridge. Once CO2 is found, the temperature adjusts automatically to maintain the best condition for nutrients to be preserved*1.
When vegetable is present, CO2 is detected and temperature changes.

energY saving technologY

A mark of Hitachis environmental commitment, the B-series refrigerator combines an array of advanced environmental innovations to achieve complete eco-efciency. During the process of Frost Recycling Cooling, the compressor switches off automatically when the chilled conditions are optimised. Frost formed on the generator is then recycled to keep temperature low even when the compressor is not in use. Together with the High-Efciency Compressor and Insulation system, the refrigerator is able to run efciently on greatly reduced electricity consumption.

POWER SAVING MODE

As part of Hitachis eco movement, the Power Saving Mode is specially designed to ensure minimum electricity wastage. When Power Saving Mode is on, an alarm will ring when the door is left open for more than 30 seconds, after which lights will dim. When appropriate, cooling speed will decrease to minimise the revolution of the compressor.

aDVANCE FROST RECYCLING COOLING TECHNOLOGY
In conventional cooling systems, frost that formed on the evaporator would simply be melted and discarded by switching off the compressor. With the new Hitachis Advance Frost Recycling Cooling technology, the frost formed on the evaporator is fully utilised. The cool air generated by the frost is used for recycling by sending it through the refrigerator and vegetable compartments, thus enabling full cooling effect to take place even when the compressor is not running.

ECO INTELLIGENT CONTROL

The new Eco Intelligent Control featuring the A.I. Inverter, Flaps and Sensors, and Refrigerant Valve further enhances efcient energy saving compared to other conventional compressor refrigerators. This unique combination of Hitachis original vacuum insulation panel and Advance Frost Recycling Cooling Technology also helps to make the refrigerator more efcient in chilling food effortlessly.

A.I. INVERTER
A highly efcient Inverter-controlled compressor ensures stable operations in low to high speed operation.
