Increased performance in compact body

UK: Panasonic’s new PACi NX Elite Series 4 air conditioners is said to achieve the same seasonal performance as a two-fan model with just one fan . 

The high seasonal efficiency of up to 7.8 (A++) SEER and 4.9 (A++) SCOP is said to be achieved by optimising three layers of heat exchangers in its compact casing.

Available in capacities of 7.1-14kW, this latest series has an extended operating range of up to 52°C in cooling mode and down to -20°C for heating.

The units also offer quiet operation down to a minimum of 48dB(A), limiting noise disruption.

Offering an increased piping length of up to 100m, up to four indoor units can be connected to the same PACi NX outdoor unit. Many of these can be installed as twin, triple, and double-twin systems

For maximum ease, the units allow for easy control through its wired Conex controller and via wi-fi and Bluetooth, with connection to Panasonic’s H&C Control app, H&C Diagnostic app and Comfort Cloud app. The units are also compatible with Panasonic AC Smart Cloud and AC Service Cloud for a smart multi-site solution.
