Latest J&E Hall chiller technology off ers outstanding environmental performance
&E Hall was promoting the latest low charge air-cooled ammonia chiller, which off ers a wide range of cooling capacities and outstanding operation in a variety of working conditions.

Ideal for a host of applications including for cold store cooling between -18°C and +15°C, for process cooling between -25°C and +7°C, and for comfort cooling, the chiller - which has been developed in collaboration with Daikin group companies - off ers a host of advantages, including a simple mechanical design, developed with ease of service and maintenance in mind. For convenience and ease of use, J&E Hall has mounted several features within the control panel of the new chiller. These include a compact micro-controller, cloud-based monitoring, and touch screen interface. A refrigerant-cooled
variable speed drive is also integrated to boost energy effi ciency. The chiller’s condenser has variable speed-
controlled fans which help to optimise its operating conditions and thus minimise its power consumption. And the low-noise
condenser fan profi le limits the noise level when operating at high speed.
An optional acoustic housing can further
reduce the chiller’s sound levels and protect the equipment from low temperature winter conditions. Lightweight, robust stainless-steel pipework is exceptionally resistant to external corrosion agents and will improve the longevity of the chiller. For safety and peace of mind, the chiller is also fi tted with an ammonia leak detection system off ering constant monitoring. At the heart of the air-cooled chiller is the
HallScrew semi-hermetic compressor, which is designed specifi cally for ammonia refrigerant and off ers maximum reliability. The use of HallScrew compressor technology minimises services and maintenance costs while maximising cooling capacities.
Panasonic highlights innovations and initiatives P
anasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions made several signifi cant announcements regarding its ongoing environmental commitments and product innovations. The press conference featured key speakers from Panasonic and its partner tado°, outlining new developments in renewable energy adoption and innovative HVAC solutions for residential and commercial buildings across Europe.
emissions within its operations and supply chain, aiming for a 300-million-tonne reduction by 2050. Hiroshi also detailed Panasonic’s strategic investments in European R&D and production, such as the development of heat pumps in collaboration with universities and the expansion of natural refrigerant residential air-to-water heat pumps in its Czech Republic facility. He went on to showcase Panasonic’s latest R290 natural refrigerant heat pump system, Big
Leading Europe’s HVAC Decarbonisation Eff orts Hiroshi Komatsubara, head of Panasonic HVAC Business in Europe, began by reaffi rming Panasonic’s alignment with the EU’s Green Deal, which targets 42.5% renewable energy by 2030, and net-zero carbon by 2050. He emphasised Panasonic’s long-term environmental vision, Panasonic GREEN IMPACT, designed to reduce CO2
Aquarea T-CAP M Series, designed for multi- family homes and light commercial buildings. The versatile unit is available in sizes ranging from 20, 25 and 30 kW capacities, with the capability to scale up to 300 kW in cascade. This reduces the number of outdoor units in multi- family homes and light commercial buildings and enables a space-saving solution. These models will be available from November 2024 through Panasonic’s local production channels. As part of Panasonic’s commitment to enhancing customer comfort and energy effi ciency, Hiroshi introduced new indoor climate solutions with its hydronics range. The range integrates heating, cooling, and air conditioning into one seamless solution. “These solutions leverage water circulation piping and off ers customers a unifi ed control solution, providing both energy savings and greater ease of use,” Hiroshi explained. He added that the product lineup, available from this month, is designed to blend into any indoor environment. Two key products within this range include
Aquarea Loop and Aquarea Air: “Aquarea Loop enables decentralised room heating and cooling, allowing customers to choose their preferred temperature setting, while Aquarea Air off ers smart fan coils with precise temperature

regulation and a stylish, space-saving design.” Both systems are designed to seamlessly integrate with various interior styles, making them ideal for homes and offi ces alike. Philip Beckmann, CEO of tado°, took to the stage to discuss the joint eff orts with Panasonic to address customer pain points identifi ed from a survey of 12,000 European households. He noted that, “75% of our customers are still using gas or oil heating, with 23% of them planning to replace the existing gas or oil heating system in the next 3-4 years, the majority of which want to rely on air-to-water heat pumps. However, high costs and concerns about effi ciency remain the biggest barriers to adoption.” To address these challenges, Panasonic and tado° will be releasing a co-branded, integrated solution for maximum heating effi ciency and energy savings, without sacrifi cing comfort. tado°’s, app will off er enhanced integration with Panasonic’s Aquarea heat pumps, providing simplifi ed control, multi-room management, and dynamic tariff optimisation. Beckmann also announced future plans for further effi ciency gains by 2025 through optimised control algorithms, ensuring greater energy savings for customers. These solutions, starting with the German market, will help accelerate Europe’s transition to green energy.
