Panasonic has announced the release of its new heat pump chiller series, ECOi-W. This new heat pump chiller offering provides a wide variety of reliable and powerful HVAC chiller solutions to meet the needs of hotels, commercial and industrial premises.

ECOi-W Heat Pump Chiller Series

Available in a range of sizes and offering heating and cooling capacities from 20kW to 210kW with outstanding energy-efficiency, the new ECOi-W heat pump chiller series has high SEER/SCOP values (average SEER of 3.85 and SCOP 3.32). With guaranteed quiet operation for comfort and a compact footprint, the ECOi-W series is designed and optimized for easy service and maintenance.

Not compromising on product quality, Panasonic’s new heat pump chiller range comes fully equipped with high quality components, such as special defrost limiting coils, low noise kits and Blue Fin anti-corrosion coating as standard, for reliable and quality assured products.

Cloud-compatible with remote control feature

The entire ECOi-W series range is cloud-compatible for ease of use with convenient remote control

The entire ECOi-W series range is cloud-compatible for ease of use with convenient remote control and maintenance to optimize costs. For sizes 140-210kW, the cloud comes as standard. It also seamlessly interfaces with established Building Management Systems (BMS) and VRF systems for effective monitoring, streamlined reporting and management.

The solution can be tailored to individual customer requirements by selecting the most suitable specification from Panasonic’s full range of heat pump chillers, such as ambient options, pump type and hydraulic options. This flexible approach ensures the series is the perfect solution for hotels, offices and industrial buildings with particularly specific or unusual requirements.

Optimal performance in any climatic condition

The ECOi-W series provides optimal performance in any climatic condition. It operates in heating mode at outdoor temperatures as low as -17°C and in cooling mode at outdoor temperatures up to 50°C.

Thanks to defrost limiting coil design, a maximum 15% higher COP is achieved when compared to a standard coil. Each pair of coils can be defrosted while the other pair of coils is running in heating mode. This alternated defrost cycle ensures stable hot water even at low ambient temperatures. The maximum water outlet temperature range for heating is 50°C and 55°C for sizes 140-210kW.

User-friendly control panel with intelligent logic device

Although the series is cloud compatible, every model is fitted with a simple, user friendly control panel that includes an intelligent logic device for inlet water temperature, automatic test operation and night setback operation to help reduce electrical consumption and noise – perfect for hotels.

In line with the release of the new Heat Pump Chiller Series, ECOi-W, a complete catalog has been created detailing all the necessary information required for this new innovative HVAC solution from Panasonic.
