Panasonic adds R32 Aquarea monobloc

EUROPE: Panasonic has added the J Generation Monobloc with R32 refrigerant to its Aquarea air-to-water heat pump range.

The compact outdoor unit provides residential projects with hot water, heat for radiators and underfloor heating. The refrigerant is sealed in the small outdoor unit, only requiring water pipes inside. As well as providing heating and hot water, Aquarea can deliver cooling in the summer.

Available in a range of capacities from 5kW to 9kW, Panasonic says its J Generation Monobloc can reach up to 60°C water outlet even at -10ºC outdoor temperature. Reaching A+++ energy class (35ºC), the Aquarea range is said to maintain its high efficiency even in temperatures as low as -20°C.  

The system is compatible with the Aquarea Smart Cloud to remotely control the full range of heating and cooling functions, including energy monitoring.

It can also be connected to the Aquarea Service Cloud to allow installers to remotely access their customer’s heating and cooling systems.
