Low standing losses are the main feature of Panasonic’s latest additions to its Aquarea range of tanks. They vary in capacity from 180 litres to 400 litres and help ensure that energy losses are minimal.
Marc Diaz, Country Manager for Panasonic Heating & Cooling, comments: “Complying with all relevant regulations, this new line of Aquarea tanks can be considered the highest quality and most robust cylinders on the UK market, whilst homeowners are protected by Panasonic’s 25 year manufacturer guarantee.”
Complete kit
As with all Aquarea cylinders, the new tanks are supplied with compression fittings and locating bosses, enabling a quick and simple on-site installation process. The systems are complete with a G3 kit, temperature sensor, 3-way valve, 90° draw-off elbow, and lift up pressure relief valve to make for the ultimate ease of install.
To ensure performance and restrict energy losses to a minimum, the tanks have been specially designed to avoid pressure loss whilst simultaneously maximising the heat exchange surface area. This is achieved by incorporating a multi-pass corrugated stainless steel tube into the unit. The corrugated tubing provides a 20% faster recovery time than the tanks featuring plain tubing. The cylinders are solar ready with a twin coil fitted to improve their efficiency further.
Considering the size restrictions and the varied requirements of Britain’s modern homes, a slimline version is now available. With the body of the unit just 475mm in diameter, these tanks are suitable for use within the social housing sector where space is often at a premium.
