Panasonic has opened a new production line at its
Pilsen factory, dedicated to its large-capacity Big Aquarea M Series
air-to-water heat pumps. This €2.6 million (66 million Czech crowns) investment
enhances Panasonic’s manufacturing capacity in Europe to meet the rising demand
for heating solutions with natural refrigerant. Designed and produced entirely
in Europe, the Big Aquarea is tailored for centralised heating in multi-family
homes and light commercial buildings, supporting the transition to decarbonised
heating systems.
The new production line for large-capacity outdoor heat pump units is located
in the expanding production complex in the Borská Pole industrial zone in
Pilsen, Czech Republic where Panasonic has been producing heat pumps since
2018. However, large-capacity units have never been produced here until now as
Hiroshi Komatsubara, Managing Director of the Pilsen plant of Panasonic Heating
& Ventilation Air-Conditioning Czech explains: "We are proud to
reaffirm our commitment to heat pump production in Europe with three factories
dedicated to providing reliable heating and cooling solutions for residential
and commercial applications. This investment ensures we can meet the region's
growing demand for energy-efficient systems."
The Big Aquarea T-CAP M Series offers a flexible, compact, and energy-efficient
solution. These heat pumps provide a sustainable alternative to traditional
fossil fuel systems and can be integrated with existing water systems such as
fan coils, floor heating, or domestic hot water tanks. The series includes
units with outputs ranging from 20 to 30 kW, and up to 300 kW in cascade.
Key features of the Big Aquarea T-CAP M Series include high efficiency with a
COP of 4.91 at 7/35, low noise levels, flexible control options, seamless
Modbus integration, and Wi-Fi connectivity for Aquarea Smart Cloud and Aquarea
Service Cloud. These features make the Big Aquarea an excellent choice for
various applications, blending seamlessly with architecture and the
environment.
Panasonic's new production line in Pilsen is equipped with advanced IoT
technologies and AI, ensuring top-quality production and rapid return on
investment.
