Panasonic RAC Air Conditioning
R2 Rotary Compressor
The Panasonic R2 rotary compressor delivers standout efficiency, reliability, and quiet performance—ideal for installers designing split-system air conditioners. Built with a rolling-piston design, enhanced steel materials, and a PVD-coated vane, the R2 offers high discharge pressure, reduced wear, and long-term durability.
Thanks to its simple, symmetrical internal parts, it is compact and lightweight, making installation easier while keeping costs down. Noise is minimised through an upper cylinder discharge, enhanced bearing construction, and redesigned vibration control.
For systems targeting high SEER ratings, dependable performance, and smooth operation under challenging duty cycles, the R2 unit is among Panasonic’s top choices.
Bringing nature’s balance indoors
Panasonic’s nanoe™ X technology harnesses the natural power of hydroxyl radicals - unstable molecules that neutralise pollutants like bacteria, viruses, mould, odour, allergens, and harmful substances.
Unlike in nature where these radicals last less than a second, nanoe™ X encapsulates them in water particles to extend their life to over 600 seconds, so they can naturally circulate throughout the room.
It works on hard surfaces, soft furnishings, fabrics, and in the air - improving indoor air quality across homes, offices, hotels, and hospitals, all without maintenance or filters.
For more information about this technology, view the nanoe™ X brochure.

R22 Renewal - Reuse existing pipework
Panasonic’s “R22 Renewal” program enables installers to re-use good-quality existing R22 refrigerant piping when upgrading split-system or PACi standard units to the latest, more efficient lines (R32 / R410A), without needing major modifications or extra accessories - apart from pipe reductions.
Key conditions apply: the existing pipes must be clean, dry, tight, and free from corrosion or oil residue; thickness must meet specified criteria; and all flare nuts and joints must comply with the newer refrigerant’s requirements.
This approach offers roughly 30% energy savings vs. old R22 systems while easing compliance with regulations, reducing installation time, and lowering cost for both installers and clients.
Control & connectivity
Panasonic RAC units now support advanced control and connectivity that make installation more flexible and systems more manageable for large and multi-room setups.
With the optional CZ-CAPRA1 interface, RAC models can be integrated into the Panasonic S-Link communication bus, enabling centralised control via building management systems (BMS) or S-Link compatible central controllers.
Installers can also use secure Wi-Fi adapters to enable remote access through the Panasonic Comfort Cloud app, allowing clients to monitor energy use, adjust settings, and receive maintenance alerts from anywhere.
This mix of wired bus interfaces and cloud-based tools ensures RAC range units work seamlessly in both domestic and commercial control scenarios.
