Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions introduces the Aquarea Loop, a new decentralised water-to-air heat pump designed for optimal energy efficiency. The system operates with a low-temperature central water loop of 20⁰ – 30⁰C year-round, providing efficient and sustainable heating and cooling for indoor spaces.
Featuring a compact indoor unit, with a depth of only 140mm, the Aquarea Loop is available in three aesthetically pleasing models. Its built-in DC inverter compressor and sealed refrigerant circuit both utilise the natural refrigerant R290 to enable the unit to perform as an evaporator in heating mode and a condenser in cooling mode. This results in the unit boasting cooling capacities ranging from 1.1kW – 2.6kW and heating capacities ranging from 1.10kW – 3.10kW that can also automatically adjust depending on ambient conditions, providing seasonal efficiency.
Suitable for a variety of commercial and residential applications, including modern and heritage buildings, hotels and hospitals, the Aquarea Loop enhances efficiency while maximising the use of renewable energy, minimising heat losses in distribution, and significantly improving the environment performance of the building. It can be installed re-using existing piping, replacing conventional radiators and substituting the existing heat source with an Aquarea heat pump, making it an ideal solution for many refurbishment projects.
Additionally, the Aquarea Loop can be supplied with pre-installed hydraulic options, including 2-way and 3-way motorised valves. Furthermore, the unit comes with an optionalCondensation Injection Kit, which ensures that if it is not possible to pipe away condensation, it can reinject it into the system.
The unit has two types of RC (on-board and wall mounted) for control with a choice of Modbus or Wi-Fi connectivity. Additionally, the units come as standard with PI logic control, optimising both comfort and efficiency.
