Panasonic Expands Wide Range of HVAC Solutions with Natural Refrigerant R290

Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions continues to lead the charge in sustainable HVAC solutions by incorporating the natural refrigerant R290 across a wide range of its latest products, further bolstering its commitment to eco-conscious innovation. Attendees of Mostra Convegno Expocomfort are invited to experience these cutting-edge products firsthand at Panasonic's booth (Stand A29+B12, Hall 5).

R290, a natural refrigerant, minimises environmental impact while simultaneously enhancing energy efficiency and comfort. With an impressively low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3, R290 emerges as a green alternative suitable for both residential and commercial projects, delivering exceptional performance without compromising environmental responsibility. Heat pump efficiency increases with the use of R290 as it enables a maximum water outlet temperature of 75°C, widening the applications of water-based heating solutions range from 5 kW to 80 kW, and can boost capacity up to 640 kW with cascade control.

This initiative aligns seamlessly with Panasonic's Environmental Vision 2050, aiming to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions and overall environmental footprint. By harnessing the power of R290, Panasonic is actively contributing to the realisation of a carbon-neutral society, where energy efficiency surpasses consumption.

The integration of R290 extends across a spectrum of heating and cooling solutions, including the Aquarea L and M Series, as well as the ECOi-W AQUA-G BLUE heat pumps.

Aquarea L Series – Engineered for high efficiency, the Aquarea L Series heat pumps feature Hydro Split All-in-One High Performance units, boasting water outlet temperatures of up to 75°C down to -10°C. Designed for versatility, these heat pumps offer outstanding efficiency with a SCOP of up to 5.12, along with reduced sound levels for enhanced comfort.

Aquarea T-CAP M Series – The newest addition to the Aquarea lineup, the M Series introduces a modular concept for increased application flexibility. The T-CAP units come in 9, 12, 16 kW, and have now been expanded to include even bigger capacities – 20, 25 and 30 kW. Combining the high capacities, 75°C water outlet even at -15°C outdoor temperature, and T-CAP technology, this an unbeatable solution for centralised heating in multifamily buildings and retrofit commercial applications.

ECOi-W AQUA-G BLUE – Catering to the demands of large-scale applications, the ECOi-W AQUA-G BLUE heat pump utilises R290 to provide energy-efficient solutions for commercial, industrial, and multi-dwelling residential projects. With up to 70°C leaving water temperature, it is an energy-efficient solution for domestic hot water for various project requirements, such as residential and commercial buildings. The ECOi-W AQUA-G BLUE solution covers capacities from 50 kW up to 80 kW, with the possibility to boost it until 640 kW in a cascade system.
