Panasonic Leads the Future of Heat Pumps with Advanced R290 A2W Aquarea M Series
28/11/2023
Welwyn
Garden City, UK, November 15, 2023 – Panasonic
Heating & Cooling Solutions is introducing its latest generation of Aquarea
air-to-water heat pumps with the new M Series. Thanks to its new, modular
concept, the M Series allows for more application choices offering different
indoor units, available in All-in-One and Bi-Bloc, as well as full Control Box
or Remote controller-only essential functionality options. The advanced new
system utilises the natural refrigerant R290 for a more sustainable solution
and includes Panasonic’s first T-CAP R290 outdoor unit that features a new
injection compressor. The M Series also has a hydraulic connection between
indoor and outdoor units for simple and straightforward installation without
the need for relevant refrigeration certification.
Flexible and suit to all lifestyles
With its cutting-edge design, the
M Series offers a range of flexible installation options. New to the M series,
the outdoor unit can function as a standalone system with just an indoor remote
control, making it an ideal choice for those seeking vital functionalities. Homeowners
can opt for enhanced functionality by incorporating the more advanced Control
Box or also selecting between a Bi-bloc or All-in-One system. This range of
choices allows the Aquarea M Series to cater to a variety of functionality
needs and property types, ensuring a tailored solution for every user.
Natural refrigerant
With sustainability at the
forefront of its innovations, Panasonic is utilising the natural refrigerant
R290 in its newest series thanks to its low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of
just 3, meaning it has a lower environmental impact when released into the
atmosphere compared to other refrigerants and allows for a more energy
efficient solution. Panasonic’s state-of-the-art engineering maximises safety
regarding R290 requirements, with the M Series incorporating a non-flammable
control box, air/refrigerant separator, and a power box containing ground cable
with sealed connections for peace of mind.
Efficient performance
The M Series delivers impressive
performance, even in extreme outdoor conditions, offering a maximum water
outlet temperature of 75°C at -10°C outside temperature and the ability to
supply 55°C hot water at -25°C outside temperature. The T-CAP outdoor units
maintain heating capacity down to outdoor temperatures of -20°C and can work
down to -28°C. This makes it ideal for retrofit projects and renovations
requiring high water temperatures for radiators. Additionally, it can achieve a
domestic hot water stored temperature of up to 65°C or carry out a sterilisation cycle, without the need of direct electric heater as
support.
The M Series features an enhanced design with an anti-vibration structure, redesigned chassis, and optimised fan speed to reduce noise levels, ensuring a comfortable and peaceful environment. The units maintain a low ErP sound value, a minimum of 53B(A)[1], which can be reduced even more in ‘super quiet mode’ operation, minimising disruption in any setting.
The M Series outdoor units features Panasonic’s unique and reliable R290 scroll compressor technology. Its new compressor logic allows the units to maximise capacity at lower outdoor temperatures.
Pleasing design
The T-CAP outdoor units now come
in a stylish anthracite grey design, seamlessly blending into any setting. Its
All-in-One units offer the ultimate space saving solution for any home, with a
small footprint of just 598 x 600 mm and can be neatly lined up with other big
appliances like a refrigerator and/or washing machine to reduce the space
required for installation. It can also be installed with a Mechanical Heat
Recovery & Ventilation unit on top thanks to its low height.
Simple connectivity
The systems come with a brand-new control box that allows for flexible
installation and simple internet connection through the new front panel. For additional ease, the M Series remote controller
has been designed in harmony with the whole system, with optimised user
interface and improved features. This includes water pressure reading on the
home-screen for convenience, cost effective bivalent mode with power tariff
logic, and a dual controller system for independent control of two zones within
the home[2].
The systems have the ability for smart control and energy consumption monitoring. Aquarea Service Cloud is available for installers and maintenance companies, allowing real-time remote supervision of a fleet of installations for increased customer satisfaction. For end users, the Panasonic Comfort Cloud App is available for easy and intuitive energy management with convenient remote control of the full range of heating and hot water functions.
