New Panasonic Pump Down System
Improving security, detect refrigerant leaks early!
Panasonic has developed two innovative solutions to detect refrigerant leaks that offer complete assurance and protection for end users, building occupiers and the environment.
Panasonic’s innovative Pump Down Systems help buildings equipped with this system qualify for additional BREEAM points and help to achieve compliance with current EN378 2008 standard, where refrigeration concentration levels exceed practical safety limits of 0,44 kg/m³.

No additional communication network is needed to connect the sensors to Pump Down System
Option 1: With Leak detector: the safest solution for small rooms
Thanks to the exclusive software of Panasonic ECOi the sensors communicate with Pump Down System directly through P-Link connection. Very cost effective solution, very easy installation. The leak detector is connected through PAW-EXCT connector directly to the indoor unit and the pump down system is directly connected to the main outdoor unit. The pump down system will activate when a leak is detected in the rooms. Refrigerant collection will be immediate. Offering the best of safety for the end users, building occupiers and the environment. All the refrigerant will be collected in the outdoor units and for bigger systems in an optional receiver tank.

Pump down system
This innovative pump down system can be connected in two ways:
This innovative pump down system can be connected in two ways:
- With sensor leakage
- Without sensor leakage, using only the innovative algorithme.
Basic pump down function:
- Detect the leakage
- Activate pump down process
- Collect the gas on the tank
- Close the valves to isolate the gas
Key points:
- Comply with legislation
- Protect personnel
- Protect the environment
- Save on operating costs
