Panasonic PACi NX series features R32 refrigerant Panasonic has unveiled its new PACi NX series of highlyefficient air conditioners for commercial applications. The series comprises two ranges – Standard Units for projects requiring quality on a limited budget, and Elite Units that offer top-tier commercial air conditioning with a host of additional benefits. The NX units have an improved capacity range from 2.5 kW to 14 kW and provide outstanding SEER/SCOP1 efficiency values, along with energy labels up to A+++. Indoor systems include wall-mounted and ceiling units, 4-way 90x90 cassettes, and Adaptive Ducted units. The PACi NX Elite series can work even in the most difficult ambient conditions … cooling operation is possible when outdoor temperatures are as low as -20°C, or as high as 48°C. Heating operation can also be utilised at outdoor temperatures down to -20°C. The range of indoor units now incorporates nanoe™ X as standard. This advanced technology utilises hydroxyl radicals (OH) that inhibit the growth of certain pollutants such as allergens, bacteria, viruses, moulds, odours and certain hazardous substances. It helps reduce unpleasant odours from furniture, carpets and curtains found in offices and restaurants, and inhibits the growth of viruses and mould. The new series has been developed for a 3-wire connection which supplies power from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit, and transmits the control signals, thus avoiding an additional power supply. This makes it a simple solution for retrofit. Additionally, PACi NX is well suited for areas with limited outdoor space as the slim and lightweight outdoor units, at just 99 kg, allow for easy and unobtrusive installation.

Panasonic has re-designed its innovative Adaptive Ducted unit to offer both horizontal and vertical installation. This state-of-the-art model has an improved shared drain pan design and a reduction in size and weight. With only 25cm height and a static pressure of up to 150 Pa, it also allows for flexible, discreet ducted installation further away from the room. Additionally, the model operates at a “super quiet“ level with a minimum of just 22 dB(A) thanks to the improved casing design that achieves smoother air flow for lower noise operation.2 Panasonic is leading the switch to R32 refrigerant. An ideal alternative to R22 and R410A, Panasonic recommends

R32 thanks to its low Global Warming Potential (GWP) for lower impact on the environment. PACi NX is fully compatible with Panasonic’s innovative new IoT remote controller, CONEX via Bluetooth®. The advanced system brings a host of benefits for users through a smartphone or tablet. CONEX offers a range of Apps for remote operation and maintenance, including Panasonic H&C Diagnosis App for analysis and trouble-shooting; Panasonic H&C Control App for detailed operation, advanced installer settings and Bluetooth operation; and Panasonic Comfort Cloud App for remote operation. For large or multi-site installations, the range is compatible with AC Smart Cloud from Panasonic. This allows simple control of installations and makes it is possible to receive status updates from all units in real-time. Contact: Panasonic Ireland. Orlaith Gillen.
