UK: Panasonic’s Aquarea air-to-water heat pump is now supported by an online selection and comparison tool for heating and cooling designers, architects, design offices, installers, and distributors alike.

The Aquarea Designer enables users to design and size an Aquarea heat pump system, and identify the correct application for them. Users can compare investment and operational costs compared to other heat sources. It also calculates the savings and swiftly calculates CO2 emissions. 

The system can produce a heat pump design report which includes product 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 will calculate the project’s energy costs in terms of domestic hot water, heating and cooling demand. It will also show the total heat consumption by operation mode and the calculated SCOP. 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.

The easy-to-use online tool is only accessible to members of Panasonic’s PRO Club. Registration is available here.
