With people spending more time at home, the benefits of having a quiet heating and domestic hot water system have become more obvious. Panasonic’s Aquarea heat pump range makes this possible. In addition to low sound levels, it delivers high-performance heating and hot water along with significant energy cost savings. According to independent tests, the Panasonic Aquarea J Generation R32 Mini Monobloc range and 16kW Bi-Bloc T-Cap Super Quiet air-to water heat pumps have impressively low levels of noise when in operation. The testing was carried out by the Danish Technological Institute in Denmark with results confirming that the new Aquarea Monobloc 5kW, 7kW and 9kW Super-Quiet Bi-bloc 16kW T-CAP Aquarea air-to-water heat pumps have market-leading low noise levels of 60dB(A) while operating at full load. The tests were carried out for the sound power level according to EN 12102-1:2017 for Full Load, Quiet Mode 3 at A7/W55. In quiet mode operation, Aquarea heat pumps can operate at a further 4dB(A) reduced noise level. Aquarea A2W heat pumps are proving popular with developers, system designers

and installers looking to provide highlyefficient heating and hot water, while also providing homeowners with a reliable system offering long-term energy savings. Walter Stephens, Air-to-Water Product Specialist for Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions Ireland, added, “We are delighted by the recent findings of these test results. We knew the units were quiet but now independent results confirm the Aquarea as a market leader for low noise and quiet operation. “Considering people are spending more time at home and there is a big push for more renewable heating and cooling solutions, issues such as noise levels are of the upmost importance. Aquarea delivers on both performance and efficiency and, with a wide range of units to choose from, there is an option available for most project needs.” Along with low noise levels, the new Aquarea R32 monobloc has MCS SCoP figures of 5.07 along with CoP figures of 5.57. “Aquarea Super Quiet 16kW T-CAP (total

capacity) delivers outstanding efficiency in heating and domestic hot water supply,” says Eamonn Kent, Panasonic Air to Water Key Account Manager. “This unit can supply all the heating and domestic hot water to a 450sq m new-build property. It can be used in tandem with radiators, underfloor heating and fan-assisted radiators to deliver heating in the winter. Dedicated cooling can also be provided during the summer, if required. The wide range – from 3kW to 16kW in monobloc, bi-bloc or all-in-one – ensures the right model is available for all requirements and designs.” Contact: Walter Stephens.
