Panasonic has launched the Aquarea High Performance J Generation Bi-Bloc heat pump, a heating and cooling solution, for new installations, refurbishments, and low-energy homes. Utilising air-to-water heat pump technology and R32 refrigerant, it is a highly efficient and more environmentally friendly solution compared to R410A refrigerant. By converting heat energy in the air into household warmth, the highly efficient Aquarea technology helps to reduce CO2 emissions and environmental impact compared to conventional boilers and electric heaters. The J Series also includes quieter outdoor units compared to previous models. This helps to reduce noise outside of the property, which is particularly noticeable in quiet, rural areas. The unit can be combined with high efficiency hot water tanks, such as the anode-free “A” Stainless Steel Tank in 192-litre and 280-litre capacities. Each tank reduces energy loss thanks to its high levels of insulation, resulting in the most efficient solution. Synchronisation with solar panels is also possible. Providing a simple yet sophisticated control solution, Aquarea J Generation is also compatible with the Aquarea Smart Cloud, a powerful and intuitive service for remotely controlling the full range of heating and hot water functions, including monitoring ONLINE ENQUIRY 104 energy consumption.
Screw compressors deliver higher energy efficiency Gardner Denver has launched a range of oil-lubricated screw compressors as part of the CompAir L-Series. The premium range, available in 90 kW, 110kW and 132kW models, combines a fixed speed compressor with IE4 motors. This creates a system that delivers energy efficiency improvements of 2.3 per cent when compared with the standard models. The new models feature a newly patented oil regulation valve, which automatically regulates oil injections and discharge temperature according to environmental conditions. Not only does this reduce power consumption, but it eliminates the risk of condensate and corrosion in the system too. It also helps maintain the oil’s high quality throughout the compressor’s lifetime, reducing the unit’s total cost of ownership. The new models also include an improved airend that is supported by the CompAir Assure warranty, which covers the airend for up to ten years or 44,000 hours. Dora Artemiadi, product manager for industrial compressors EMEA at Gardner Denver, said: “We compared one of the premium units with a number of alternative models. Our compressor delivered five per cent greater energy efficiency, as well as a flow rate up to 12 per cent higher." The company adds that energy savings of €3,700 a year against a number of other competitor models are possible, and even possible savings of more than €6,000 when compared with other compressors available in the market.
