Compact design and high seasonal efficiency

The 2-Pipe ECOi EX MZ1 Series stands out for its compact design and high seasonal efficiency, with the 10HP unit achieving ηs,c 310,1% in cooling and ηs,h 172,4% in heating. It achieves a significant 43% reduction2 in footprint due to its compact and lightweight design, in turn lowering design and installation efforts and costs. Furthermore, alongside its quiet operation the unit creates major benefits for multi-unit installations, including its ability to support up to 1000m of piping for a maximum of 64 indoor units enabling versatile installation whilst saving space.

Aimed at commercial applications, the 2-Pipe ECOi EX MZ1 Series possesses a wide operation range, maintaining its high performance in temperatures as low as -25°C and as high as 52°C.

Reduced refrigerant requirement and increased safety

The series uses 57% less R32 refrigerant compared to the R410A equivalent system. This reduction in refrigerant means that many systems can be installed without the need for additional safety measures typically required for R32 refrigerant systems. Safety is a top priority for Panasonic so the ECOi EX MZ1 Series includes standard compliant safety measures for R32 refrigerant such as new R32 refrigerant leak detectors and alarms, complying with EN 378 and IEC 60335-2-40 standards, plus it comes with a 2-Pipe safety valve kit.

Advanced options and improved air quality

The series offers an extensive R32 range designed to meet the requirements of any project. All air-to-air indoor units are equipped with nanoe™ X, ensuring improved indoor air quality for a cleaner environment. Additionally, hydronic module options are available, enabling the production of heating and hot water. For enhanced ventilation, the series includes options such as ERVs and AHU connection kits. A wide variety of connectivity options, including stand-alone, central, and BMS integration, ensures seamless control and management across different applications. 

The integrated solution for maximum energy savings and comfort

Panasonic revealed its first energy-saving integrated solution with tado°, combining Panasonic’s Aquarea air-to-water heat pump technology with tado°'s smart heating products. The partnership underscores both companies' commitment to decarbonising homes while empowering customers to manage energy use more effectively. It offers end-users intelligent heating control meaning lower energy consumption, especially with tado° Smart Thermostats that help reduce energy consumption by up to 22%1. This solution also allows multi-room control, giving users the ability to manage temperatures across different areas of the home with precision and ease.

Panasonic's Power Heat Multi Range is its first RAC outdoor lineup to feature an attractive dark colour, allowing it to blend seamlessly with home exteriors without compromising aesthetics. Designed specifically for installation in cold climates, it offers high efficiency and operation at temperatures as low as −25℃. The units feature a SCOP of 4.6 and compatibility with Etherea Z indoor units. Cleverly designed with a base pan heater, the outdoor unit is prevented from freezing, ensuring consistent performance in the property. Even in temperatures as low as -25°C outside, the unit delivers robust heating—3.9 kW for two rooms and 4.3 kW for three rooms when used with Z-ZKE indoor units.

The multi-split models boast high efficiency, with an A++ energy rating, attributed to its inverter technology. When paired with Etherea Z indoor units, it combines exceptional efficiency with an aesthetically pleasing design, whilst offering user-friendly features such as nanoe™ X technology and built-in Wi-Fi. Installation is streamlined, reducing time and effort, which is especially beneficial for installers working in low outdoor temperatures, minimising the time spent outside.

In addition to the heat pump technology, Panasonic offers a new full range of smart fan coils and ventilation systems. The stylish fan coils are designed with advanced controllers that deliver high-efficiency climate control. The slimline design blends seamlessly into any home, with refined product features that ensure superior performance. The motor in the smart fan coils operates with exceptional efficiency, using significantly less energy thanks to its low wattage design.

Aquarea Loop is a decentralised water-to-air heat pump system, designed for low-temperature centralised water loops. Its design simplifies installation, reduces aesthetic impact, and offers versatile control options, ensuring efficient operation through thermal balancing. The solution can replace outdated radiators in centralised heating systems renovation, allowing the reuse of the existing piping, enhancing overall efficiency by also offering cooling capabilities. The Aquarea Loop connects to a water ring with water temperature between 20ºC and 30ºC. Thanks to a small built-in R290 compressor, it not only warms a room but can also provide cooling during summer.

Aquarea’s air to water heat pumps for residential and commercial applications

Aquarea M Series: Modular Design for Every Home
Panasonic’s Aquarea M Series range of air-to-water heat pumps, has been carefully crafted with a modular concept, offering flexibility for different home needs and property types. The range includes AiO units with 185L DHW tank and a new unit with 260L DHW tank, Bi-Bloc systems, and Control Box or Remote-only basic functionalities, delivering a tailored solution for every customer. The system utilises the natural refrigerant R290, which boasts a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3, making it a more environmentally responsible choice.

Big Aquarea T-CAP M Series 

The latest addition to Panasonic’s air to water heat pump range is the Big Aquarea T-CAP M Series. Providing a flexible, compact and energy-efficient solution for central heating and domestic hot water, the versatile unit is available in sizes ranging from 20, 25 and 30 kW capacities, with the capability to scale up to 300 kW in cascade. The unit utilises the natural refrigerant R290, which has a low GWP of 3 for a sustainable solution, and provides heating temperatures of up to 75⁰C. The unit utilises T-CAP technology that allows for maintained rated capacity down to -15ºC at 55ºC water outlet whilst being a cost and space saving sustainable option. This makes its easily integrable with water systems such as fan coils, floor heating, domestic hot water tanks and radiators.
