Panasonic’s New Capacity of R32 VRF 2-Pipe ECOi EX MZ1 Series

30/04/2025



Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions recently launched one of its latest innovations in commercial HVAC technology, the 2-Pipe ECOi EX MZ1 Series. This groundbreaking series is designed to offer extreme efficiency, quality, and compactness, setting a new standard in the industry.

 

The 2-Pipe ECOi EX MZ1 Series stands out for its compact design and high seasonal efficiency, with the 10HP unit achieving ηsc 310,1% in cooling and ηsh 172,4% in heating. It achieves a significant 43% reduction[1] in footprint due to its compact and lightweight design, in turn lowering design and installation efforts and costs. Furthermore, alongside its quiet operation the unit creates major benefits for multi-unit installations, including its ability to support up to 1000m of piping for a maximum of 64 indoor units enabling versatile installation whilst saving space.

 

Aimed at commercial applications, the 2-Pipe ECOi EX MZ1 Series possesses a wide operation range, maintaining its high performance in temperatures as low as -25°C and as high as 52°C.

 

The series uses 57% less R32 refrigerant compared to the R410A equivalent system. This reduction in refrigerant means that many systems can be installed without the need for additional safety measures typically required for R32 refrigerant systems. Safety is a top priority for Panasonic so the ECOi EX MZ1 Series includes standard compliant safety measures for R32 refrigerant such as new R32 refrigerant leak detectors and alarms, complying with EN 378 and IEC 60335-2-40 standards, plus it comes with a 2-Pipe safety valve kit.

 

The series offers an extensive R32 range designed to meet the requirements of any project. All air-to-air indoor units are equipped with nanoe™ X, ensuring improved indoor air quality for a cleaner environment. For enhanced ventilation, the series includes options such as ERVs and AHU connection kits. A wide variety of connectivity options, including stand-alone, central, multi-site remote control, and BMS integration, ensures seamless control and management across different applications.
