Panasonic offers the Aquarea Designer for free download at
www.PanasonicProClub.com, for easy and quick modelling
and optimisation of the heat pump heating systems.
The program offers the following functions:
• Sizing of heat pumps based on building and consumption data
• Comprises in-house air-conditioning and weather databases for
sizing calculation
• Quick selection of the suitable heat pump
• Calculation of the bivalence point
• Calculation of coefficient of performance and seasonal performance
factor according to VDI 4650
• Costs comparison
• Quick design or expert design as well as either a short or long report
