Heat Source - Panasonic Aquarea B1 Planning And Installation Manual

Product Description
In addition to the low use of electrical power, the lack of a need for stack emission measure-
ments also contributes towards low operating costs. The investment capital for an Aquarea heat
pump is comparatively low in comparison with the other heating systems having a natural gas
connection, chimney, oil tank or earth probes.
Optionally, the Aquarea heat pumps can also be operated with cooling function and supplement-
ed with a solar system. This in turn helps increase comfort and efficiency.
Finally, Aquarea heat pumps will eventually be state-promoted through market incentive attrac-
tion programmes with direct investment cost allowances. A promotion is linked to certain con-
ditions, which are to be observed during planning and installation. Promotions through market
incentive programmes are accordingly linked mostly to minimum annual performance numbers,
which must be verifiable through counters for annual amounts of heat and power. Similarly, a
hydraulic alignment and the adjustment of the heating level are required. Details are given in the
respective current European and national promotion directives.

Note
With the Aquarea Designer, Panasonic offers a cost-free programme for heat pump dimension-
ing, which can be used for calculating the annual performance number (see the section "Pana-
sonic Aquarea Designer" in the planning chapter).
Test certificates for applying for state promotion can be downloaded if required from the Down-
load area of the Panasonic ProClub at www.PanasonicProClub.com.

Heat Source

Air, as a source of heat, is available everywhere and can be used at very little cost and in any
amount by using air-heat exchangers combined with fans. However, the outside temperature
has major variations during the year and the requirement for heat varies inversely. That means
that much more heat needs to be generated when the source of heat itself is at its coldest.
This must be taken into consideration at the time of planning, so that the living comfort remains
constant.

Similarly, the noise generation of the fans and the air flow should be taken into consideration;
minimum distances to the adjacent properties should be observed and the installation location
should be selected accordingly.
