Panasonic reveals air-to-water heat pump calculator

Panasonic Heating and Cooling Solutions has released an innovative online design tool with calculator to help quickly identify the most appropriate Aquarea air-to-water heat pump, calculate savings and CO2 emissions at the click of a button.

The simple-to-use air-to-water tool is hassle-free and is available through Panasonic’s PRO Club so doesn’t require any software downloads. It will help heating and cooling designers, architects, design offices, installers, and distributors alike. The tool has had a major update resulting in a more user-friendly interface with its modernised and straightforward navigation

Panasonic’s bespoke program helps to promptly design and size an Aquarea heat pump system, allowing users to identify the correct application meaning users can compare investment and operational costs compared to other heat sources.

The system can produce a Heat Pump Design Report, which includes direct web links for heat pumps and DHW tanks and can be individually selected to include the following information: operational costs, investment costs, detailed product information, and ErP label.

Aquarea Designer calculates the air-to-water project’s energy costs in terms of domestic hot water, heating and cooling demand. It also shows the total heat consumption by operation mode and the calculated SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance). It then allows the designer to show clients a comparison with other equipment options such as heating by conventional gas-fired boilers, oil fuel systems, pellets and standard electric heating.
