Aquarea T-CAP, high performance whatever the climate.

Aquarea T-CAP outdoor units are highly reliable thanks to the quality of all components, including the new compressor with injection technology, developed and manufactured by Panasonic, which can operate in outdoor temperatures as low as -28°C.

Specially designed for severe outdoor conditions, Aquarea T-CAP can operate in outdoor temperatures as low as -28°C and maintain rated heating capacity even at -20°C outdoor temperature, without requiring an electrical heater (at 35°C flow temperature).

Performance Comparison:

A graph shows that the Aquarea T-CAP Heat Pump maintains its heating capacity at lower temperatures compared to a standard heat pump, which may require oversizing and additional backup heater support. For example, at -20°C, Aquarea T-CAP provides 16 kW, while a standard heat pump might drop significantly or require backup.

For retrofit and new buildings:

The wide Aquarea T-CAP range offers the most appropriate choice for any home size. Aquarea T-CAP can easily replace old boilers or manage bivalent installations and is ideal for supplying radiators, fan coils, or underfloor heating up to 75°C, even at -15°C outside. It can also supply hot water at 55°C when the outside temperature is -28°C.

Water Temperature vs. Outdoor Temperature:

A line graph illustrates that Aquarea T-CAP can maintain high water outlet temperatures (e.g., 75°C, 65°C, 55°C) across a wide range of outdoor temperatures, from +7°C down to -28°C, demonstrating its robust performance in cold conditions.

Reliable technology: Aquarea T-CAP M Series outdoor units are equipped with a Panasonic R290 scroll compressor with injection technology, manufactured in-house, capable of operating in outdoor temperatures as low as -28°C. The outdoor heat exchanger is protected with a Bluefin treatment for harsh ambient conditions.

Aquarea T-CAP is an innovative heat pump, designed to provide ideal temperatures and hot water in the home, even with extreme outdoor temperatures.
