Panasonic Launches the New Aquarea K&L Range of Sustainable Heat Pumps at the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin

300 of Ireland’s HVAC industry professionals were welcomed to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin for the Launch of Panasonic’s latest heating and cooling innovations. The Panasonic team presented the company’s vision of creating technologies for a low-carbon society and unveiled the Aquarea K and L range of air-to-water heat pumps.  

Vincent Mahony, Ireland’s National Manager for Panasonic commented, “We are thrilled with the buzz that was present during the event, and the positive feedback we have since received from a wide range of Ireland’s industry professionals who were present at the event. We are all excited to see how future projects evolve, as we start to roll out these incredible new sustainable and energy efficient products across Ireland.”

 

Attendees to the event were welcomed and introduced to the Managing Director of Panasonic HVAC Business Division Europe, Hiroshi Komatsubara, who explained Panasonic’s proud heritage in providing innovative heating and cooling solutions. Jose Manuel Alves, Regional Director for the UK, Ireland and Netherlands, followed next, talking through the Company’s strategy to deliver outstanding performance, aligning with Panasonic vision of a carbon-free society and its GREEN IMPACT plan.  

Walter Stephens, Key Account Manager and specialist in Air-to-Water systems at Panasonic Ireland joined the presentation team, giving the attendees a full overview of the highly anticipated Aquarea K&L series, which focusses on improving energy performance and offers a more natural and sustainable future.

Following on from the presentation, the attendees were then invited to the Gravity bar on the 7th floor of the iconic Guinness Storehouse, to enjoy 360° views of Dublin, and gain valuable insight in viewing the products and speaking with the Panasonic team to discuss the products in further detail.

 

Low-Carbon Solutions

The event at the Guinness storehouse offered the opportunity to industry professionals in Ireland to get an up-close in-person look at Panasonic’s new products posed to take Panasonic environmental action to the next level. The K generation utilises R32 refrigeration, making it an excellent solution for new homes. Meanwhile, the L generation uses the natural refrigerant R290, which has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of only 3. The redesigned construction of the outdoor units of both generations provides a high level of safety, as the unit is hermetically sealed for easy and flexible installation. Furthermore, the K generation retains a refrigerant link between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit, while the L generation features a hydraulic link.

Both the K and L generations come in an all in one as well as a bi-bloc solution and benefit from a reduced noise level, up to -8dB(A) less than previous models, offering more placement possibilities.
