Panasonic/Tecnair precision AC combination

UK: Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions has collaborated with Tecnair to introduce a split solution designed for critical environments up to 21kW. 

This new solution utilises R32 refrigerant and combines Panasonic’s outdoor PACi NX condensing units with Tecnair’s P Series DX close control units.

The CRAC DX unit guarantees accurate control of indoor climate, maintaining strict parameters for temperature and humidity. The advanced control system on the P Series units offers full Modbus control, featuring a wide full graphic LCD display, configurable digital inputs/outputs, and predictive safety systems.

The system’s flexible design is said to allow seamless integration into various settings, while its compact footprint maximises space efficiency. Additionally, a wide selection of accessories enables customisation to meet specific needs.

Installation is highly versatile, with the ability to connect indoor and outdoor units across distances of up to 100 metres. For larger applications, the system supports networked configurations, allowing up to 12 CRAC units to be cascaded for expanded coverage and precise climate control.
