Panasonic’s Innovative T-CAP Aquarea M Series Heat Pumps with R290 are Available Now

04/09/2024



Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solution’s Aquarea M Series air-to-water outdoor unit with remote control only and All-in-One (AiO) heat pumps are now available to market. The latest series has set a benchmark for efficiency, sustainability, and impressive operation in the industry.

The M Series has been designed with a modular concept that allows for a variety of application choices, catering to different needs and property types. It includes options for AiO units, Bi-Bloc systems, and Control Box or Remote-only basic functionality, providing tailored solutions for every user. The system utilises the natural refrigerant R290, known for its low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3, making it a more environmentally friendly choice. The hydraulic connection between indoor and outdoor units simplifies installation, eliminating the need for F-gas certification.

A new addition to the M Series is the 3-phase outdoor unit with R290. This hydraulic solution can function as a standalone system using only an accessory remote controller or be connected to an indoor component such as an AiO unit for more comprehensive control functions. This unit features Panasonic’s T-CAP technology, which maintains nominal capacity without a heater, even in extreme conditions, down to -20°C and can operate at temperatures as low as -28°C. T-CAP technology allows for maintained capacity whilst being a cost and space saving sustainable option, requiring less power. It offers quiet operation with a sound level of just 53db(A) for a 12kW unit, and delivers high-temperature performance, providing a water outlet temperature of 75°C at -15°C and 55°C hot water at -25°C. Equipped with Panasonic’s scroll compressor, this unit ensures reliable and efficient performance.

The Aquarea M Series also has an AiO 3-phase model that can be connected to the outdoor 9, 12, 16 kW units. The unit features a 185 L capacity with all functionalities, including a back-up heater and a new expansion vessel that extends the elevation difference up to 30 metres. Alternatively, Panasonic offer the AN version, which is designed specifically for locations with harsh water conditions thanks to its built-in electronic anode.  It boasts a seamless design, a DHW 3.6 rating, an additional CN-CNT port for easy integration into a BMS project. Also included is a Wi-Fi adapter to connect to Aquarea Smart Cloud and Service Cloud to ease remote management and enable remote service management, providing a comprehensive and convenient heating solution for modern homes.

To complement this, Panasonic has also introduced new remote controllers for the M Series outdoor unit. The remote controller is essential if no other indoor component is selected, and it comes bundled with a Wi-Fi adaptor. Additionally, a dual controller system has been developed, allowing for independent control of two zones within a property, offering users more flexibility in managing their heating and cooling needs.

For those seeking advanced control functions, Panasonic has introduced an optional PCB for the All-in-One and Bi-bloc indoor units. This PCB allows for 0-10 V demand control, SG readiness, and other advanced functions, offering users greater customisation and control over their heating systems.

Not only do the heat pumps perform efficiently, but they also enhance the aesthetic of any home. Featuring a modern design, the outdoor units are available in Anthracite Grey, with the indoor units available in sleek Monochrome options.
