Panasonic has launched a residential CO₂ (R744) air-to-water heat pump range designed for efficient hot water production, even in low ambient temperatures, using natural carbon dioxide refrigerant.
The system offers 4.0 kW or 6.0 kW outdoor units with 250–400 L tank options, up to COP 6.1 performance, around 37 dB(A) operation, PV integration, and a 10-year warranty.
Japanese electronics manufacturer Panasonic has unveiled a new CO₂ air-to-water heat pump for residential use.
The system uses a CO₂ (R744) refrigerant system, which relies on carbon dioxide as a natural working fluid instead of conventional synthetic refrigerants. This technology enables efficient heat transfer even at low ambient temperatures and supports the production of high-temperature hot water with strong overall energy performance.
Initially conceived for the Australian market, the Panasonic CO₂ Heat Pump is available in 16 configurations allowing homeowners to choose between different sizes according to the consumption needs and profile.
