Mexico. Panasonic de Mexico recently presented a series of new products for the commercial air conditioning market, which will be fundamental in its business strategy for 2018.
These are new 4-Way Cassette Single-Split air conditioning systems and units for ceiling installation, Econavi sensors to strengthen VRF systems and a robust range of remote controls compatible with BACnet, Modbus and LonWorks protocols.
"Our medium-term goal is to increase Panasonic's share of the commercial HVAC market in Mexico by up to 15%. We have developed a five-year plan in which the availability of new technologies and products are very important for our business partners to compete and win large-scale projects in the residential, corporate, hospitality, health and government development sectors," says Roberto de la Vega, Manager of Commercial Air Conditioning at Panasonic de Mexico.
What's new:
4-Way Cassette Single Split Systems: New interior models S-(24/34/48)PU2Q6 and U-(24/34/48)PS2Q6 series capacitors. This trio of Single Split systems integrates the innovative nanoe X technology developed by Panasonic since 2003, which purifies the air with 99% efficiency and keeps rooms clean and fresh by eliminating bacteria, viruses, mold and allergens. In addition, it neutralizes unpleasant odors produced by smoking, food, garbage or sweat. Nano-e technology is essential in gyms, nurseries, pharmacies, restaurants, hospitals, offices or residential spaces.
Single Split Roof Systems: The interior models S-(34/48)PT1Q6 and U-(34/48)PS2Q6 series capacitors of air conditioning systems for ceiling mounting complete the offer. These have Inverter technology, which ensures the optimal use of electrical energy by eliminating consumption peaks and maintaining a stable operation, generating significant savings in the electricity bill. It also reduces unpleasant odors caused by the heat of the air conditioner and offer automatic start, fan and equipment diagnostic functions. In addition, they are compatible with the different models of remote control of the brand.
Econavi Sensor: This technology, exclusive to Panasonic, automatically detects the occupancy and activity conditions in a room and adjusts the level of the air conditioning to provide the ideal performance, both for the comfort of people, and for the optimal use of energy.
Remote Control Systems: Another of Panasonic's novelties is a complete range of remote controls for wall installation, which will allow the management of the brand's air conditioning systems and other elements (lighting, security, electricity supply) in combination with BACnet protocols, Modbus and LonWorks. The controls offer the flexibility to allow the end user (guest or inhabitant) to make certain adjustments and the central administrator to make others or set rules to ensure that the operation is maintained in the established parameters, without the need for an interface.
Panasonic also launches the first remote control as a result of its collaboration with the German company Schneider Electric. It is a wireless device that works in combination with Panasonic VRF equipment and various sensors with ZigBee communication (presence, humidity, temperature, movement, among others); can be connected to the BACNet protocol to create an efficient networked HVAC and energy use management system for hospitality and office solutions of any size.
