Panasonic introduces air solutions for F&B spaces

According to Panasonic, the solution set is designed for F&B spaces such as restaurants, supermarkets and food processing facilities, where air quality control and sanitary conditions are highly required. The system combines a variety of equipment such as commercial air conditioning, heat recovery ventilation, air handling equipment and environmental monitoring systems to maintain a stable environment for operations.

The heart of the solution is a commercial air conditioner line that integrates 3rd generation nanoeX technology. This technology creates hydroxyl radicals that help inhibit bacteria, viruses, molds and odor-causing agents in the air.

According to Panasonic, the 3rd generation nanoeX integrated commercial air conditioner has received certification from HACCP International – an international certification system for risk assessment and food safety management. Previously, the company’s Ziaino air treatment equipment also achieved this certification.

Meeting HACCP International criteria means the device can operate in food-related environments where hygiene and environmental control are paramount. This certification also helps F&B businesses have more basis when choosing equipment to serve the food safety control process.

The air conditioning system can be combined with ERV heat recovery ventilation equipment, which continuously supplies fresh air while maintaining cooling efficiency and saving energy through the heat and humidity recovery mechanism.

In addition to air conditioning and ventilation, Panasonic developed the CAMS air quality management system to monitor real-time environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration and PM2.5 fine dust. Data from sensors is used to coordinate equipment operations, help the system operate synchronously and maintain stable air conditions in the customer service space.

In particular, in food storage, handling, and production areas with strict requirements for hygiene control, Panasonic also develops specialized lighting solutions. These introduced solutions can contribute to dust reduction and meeting safety standards.

Businesses can also combine ziaino air treatment equipment with IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) solutions such as ventilation fans, air purifiers and dehumidifiers. These devices maintain clean airflow and limit odors in enclosed spaces.

Panasonic said the development of air solutions for businesses is part of its strategy to expand the B2B segment, focusing on technology systems serving the working environment and professional services.
