These strengths have been further reinforced by an extensive advertising/marketing campaign and an ever-expanding, strategically-located, dealer network. Tech Refrigeration & Air Conditioning is a typical case in point. In just a short space of time Tech has won a number of very presitgious projects using Panasonic equipment.
One of the latest is a recently-completed large office project in East Point, Dublin, featuring Panasonic VRF technology. It comprises outdoor units with a total capacity of close on 200HP, 95 indoor units providing heating and cooling to the main office areas, 10 split systems serving dedicated room server-areas, and Panasonic’s 2-pipe VRF air handling kit delivering DX Primary Air cooling and heating.
“One of the main reasons we chose Panasonic for this project”, says Barry Hennessy, Tech Group Account Manager, “is because of its off-coil temperature control technology, as well as the excellent technical back-up and our familiarity with the product”.
Tech Contracts Manager Vincent Geraghty also added: “Panasonic’s off-coil temperature control enables the supply air termperature of the VRF indoor units to be controlled between 7 degrees C and 22 degrees C. This is set up during commissioning and vastly reduces the risk of cold air dumping and draughts. Moreover, the off-coil temperature can be individually set for each single indoor unit.”
“We’re extremely pleased with the progress we’ve made in such a short space of time”, says Vincent Mahony, Panasonic National Account Manager. “We have a well-defined strategy that includes new products such as RAC units with smart phone control, new Elite high COP split units, GHP units, air to water heat pumps, and dealer partnerships which help us deliver them to the marketplace. Despite the difficult trading conditions, we anticipate continued growth for the remainder of the year.”
