Panasonic
Premises across
the world require efficient heating
and cooling systems with the capability for remote monitoring, control
and maintenance in a variety of applications. For Panasonic systems,
Aquarea Cascade Control is a highly integrated interface which allows for establishments such as supermarkets, hospitals, care homes and hotels to control up to ten Aquarea Air Source Heat Pumps to deliver and remotely manage the demands for energy-efficient heating and cooling across their organisations.
Panasonic’s Aquarea Cascade Control (PAW-A2W-CMH) has a large, easy to use touch screen display and provides control for up to 10 Aquarea air-to-water heat pumps, connected at any one time, to run simultaneously or in cascade mode and creating a system with capacity up to 160kW. The Aquarea Cascade Controller can also connect to solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and 3 way valves for cooling, ideally suited for commercial and hospitality applications with additional means of energy sourcing which require specific solutions or programmes, yet can all be managed using one device. With its own built in MODBUS IP, the Aquarea Cascade Controller integrates with the building’s BMS communication and can have up to 3 M-BUS devices connected for a smarter way to manage heating, cooling, and domestic hot water (DHW). Logging, analysing, optimising and controlling energy, as well as processing data, can all be accessed via the single control interface. Remote access for off- site management at any time of the day could not be easier, helping to prevent any disruption to the building’s inhabitants and allowing business to continue as usual by connecting the control to BMS. For many projects: energy, cost, and time efficiency is key to creating a more sustainable building and reducing heating and cooling costs. Cascade Control is being increasingly utilised across many sectors to make use of parallel-connected heat pumps and the benefit of remote access for management and maintenance resulting in multiple savings.

Fujitsu
Fujitsu has continued to expand its R32 product range with the release of the ceiling mounted split system, along with a new designer wall mounted unit, whose concept is specifically for the EU market.
The new ceiling mounted unit covers a range of 5.2 to 13.4 kW cooling capacity across eight models and is available in both an economic and a standard range. The standard range offers longer pipe lengths and a wider operating envelope to an ambient of -15 oc cooling.
Available in both pearl white and dark grey / silver metalic variations, the new Designer Series wall mounted split system consists of four models and spans a cooling capacity of 2 to 4.2 kW. With a woven textured front panel, this design has being specifically modeled for the European market. Certified energy ratings of A++ cooling and A+ heating are achieved by an increased diameter cross flow fan and a Lamda heat exchanger, combining both standard and reduced pipe diameters to maintain optimal heat exchange throughout.

Armstrong Fluid Technology
A new control solution, launched by Armstrong Fluid Technology, will enable operating efficiencies of chiller plants to be improved significantly, delivering energy savings of up to 45% and water savings of up to 12%. New TowerMax is add-on software for Armstrong’s Design Envelope
9521 Integrated Plant Control System. It reduces energy and water usage by harnessing Armstrong’s proven advanced relational control technology to optimise the operation of chiller plant. The set of performance algorithms resident in TowerMax use the flow data from the installed Armstrong Design Envelope (DE) pumps to reduce energy consumption and water usage through more effective heat balance optimisation, and intelligent Best Efficiency Staging of individual items of plant, in line with changes in load. At the heart is the Armstrong DE 9521, which controls the entire plant, including cooling towers, chilled water pumps and condenser pumps in addition to the water-cooled chillers. Lower installed cost is possible with this solution, as Onboard Sensorless technology eliminates the need for external sensors and the related installation costs. Operational costs are also minimised as heat transfer across the plant is controlled accurately and optimised, while Armstrong’s Active Performance Management technology facilitates real time capacity calculation and condition-based maintenance.
