Panasonic has launched its new R32 heat pumps, introducing the EXTERIOS Z and ClimaPure XZ series. The models offer heating capacities ranging from 10,900 Btu/h to 28,800 Btu/h, depending on specifications.
Japan’s Panasonic has released two new heat pump lines for the Canadian market. The EXTERIOS Z and ClimaPure XZ product lines are ductless and use R32 (difluoromethane) as a refrigerant.
“R32 is a more climate-friendly refrigerant that maintains efficient heat transfer capabilities,” the company said. “We are setting a new standard for air quality and energy efficiency and paving the way for a more sustainable future.”
EXTERIOS Z includes five models, offering cooling capacities from 8,700 Btu/h to 24,000 Btu/h and heating capacities from 10,900 Btu/h to 28,800 Btu/h. The smallest cooling model consumes 2.55 kW, while the largest consumes 7.02 kW. In heating mode, energy consumption ranges from 3.21 kW to 8.46 kW depending on the model.
“The EXTERIOS Z series is a versatile line of ductless air heat pumps that are more energy efficient than our previous models. To enhance its energy-efficient capabilities, it features artificial intelligence with AI ECO technology,” the company said. “This smart system automatically adjusts energy and temperature settings to keep the home comfortable. In addition, it optimizes the rotation speed of the compressor for even greater energy efficiency.”
Panasonic said the ClimaPure XZ series uses ‘state-of-the-art air purification’, producing 10 times more hydroxyl radicals per second compared to previous models.
“These highly reactive molecules neutralize pollutants, pollen, allergens and odors while moisturizing the skin and hair,” the report said.
The ClimaPure XZ is also available in five models, ranging from capacity cooling in exactly the same range to electricity consumption as the EXTERIOS Z series.
“It can also be connected via Panasonic’s Comfort Cloud app, an all-in-one control center for heat pumps, allowing users to monitor their energy consumption and enable nanoe X mode to purify their home on demand,” she added to it.
