Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions has launched the AQUA-G EVO series as part of the ECOi-W commercial heat pumps range. The range showcases the latest R290 technology, delivering high seasonal effi ciency, quiet operation and reliable heating even in extreme conditions. The AQUA-G EVO 60–110H refl ects Panasonic’s longstanding commitment to sustainable, future- ready HVAC solutions that support organisations and building owners in meeting European decarbonisation goals. The AQUA-G EVO has been purpose-built to meet the rising commercial demand for sustainable heating technologies that can eff ectively replace gas boilers across commercial, light industrial and multi-residential buildings. Using the natural refrigerant -R290, with an ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 0.02, the range aligns with evolving F-Gas regulations and supports corporate sustainability commitments across European markets.
Featuring an inverter-driven compressor and pump, the
AQUA-G EVO delivers stable temperature control and strong seasonal energy effi ciency, directly reducing energy consumption and operational costs. Advanced refrigerant circuits and defrost management logic ensure reliable performance throughout harsh winter conditions, a critical requirement for commercial heating applications. At -10°C outdoor temperature, capacity losses are around 15%, while conventional heat pumps have approximately 38% capacity losses at this temperature. The Panasonic unit can produce water at 55°C with the outdoor temperature at -18°C. It produces up to 75°C leaving-water temperature for DHW management at -2°C. Available in three sizes: 60, 80, and 110, the range is engineered to serve diverse installation environments. The system enables cascade operation of up to eight units, providing a combined heating capacity of roughly 880 kW. Installations using up to four units benefi t from a notably compact layout, allowing units to be installed side-by-side with minimal spacing to reduce overall plant-room requirements.

Star Refrigeration 1/9/25 13:58
Star Refrigeration has unveiled Azanechiller 3.0, the latest evolution of its low-charge ammonia chiller, setting a new standard for industrial cooling effi ciency and sustainability.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, Azanechiller 3.0 exceeds EcoDesign energy effi ciency targets by up to 110%, using up to 52% less electricity than standard models. It outperforms UK competitors by as much as 20% in Seasonal Energy Performance Ratio (SEPR), making it the most effi cient low-charge, air-cooled ammonia chiller on the industrial market. Capable of operating across a temperature range of -20°C to +25°C and cooling capacities up to 1,600kW, the plug-and- play chiller is suitable for food processing, pharmaceuticals, data centres, ice rinks and temperature-controlled storage. Engineered for resilience, it off ers a 25+ year lifespan and robust safety features, including portable safety showers, enclosed electrics, and optional access ladders. Environmentally, the Azanechiller 3.0 is future-proof in that it is F-gas and PFAS regulation-exempt with a low ammonia charge (0.18kg/kW), and optimised for ambient temperatures up to 40°C. The system is also Ethos-ready, allowing real-time AI-based data analysis and energy optimisation. Azanechiller 3.0 aims to deliver a reliable, energy-effi cient, and sustainable cooling solution that supports businesses on their journey to Net Zero.
