Panasonic to Host Expert Panel at InstallerSHOW 2026 on Optimising Heat Pump Design Without Buffer Tanks
Welwyn Garden City, UK – June 2026 – Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions will host an insightful panel discussion at InstallerSHOW 2026, taking place at its stand (5C45), focused on challenging conventional heat pump system design. The session, titled “Why We Don’t Use Buffers on Most Heat Pumps”, will bring together leading industry experts to explore how modern technology can simplify installations while improving system efficiency.
The panel will feature Nathan Tranter (Panasonic), Mario Dodić (HVAC Education Hub), and Sean Hogan (Aventus Eco), each bringing extensive technical expertise and real-world installation experience to the discussion.
Attendees will gain a practical and technical deep dive into Panasonic’s Air-to-Water (A2W) heat pump portfolio, including an introduction to the product range and key differences between standard models and the company’s advanced T-CAP (Total Capacity) technology.
A central focus of the session will be T-CAP technology, highlighting its unique ability to maintain consistent heating output and how its sophisticated refrigerant cycle is managed to deliver reliable performance under varying conditions.
The panel will also explore the capabilities of Panasonic’s high-performance internal circulator pump, recognised for its exceptional flow rate and ability to manage pressure drops effectively. This enables many installations to retain existing pipework configurations while avoiding the need for buffer tanks.
Drawing on real-world case studies, Sean Hogan will share practical examples from installations, demonstrating how systems can be optimised without additional components, helping installers reduce complexity while improving overall system performance.
In addition, the discussion will examine how the combination of advanced pump performance and intelligent software controls, including adjustable delta T settings, can influence system design. These features allow installers to minimise components, streamline installation, and achieve higher efficiency across a wide range of applications.
Visitors to stand 5C45 are encouraged to attend the session to gain firsthand insights, engage directly with the panel, and discover how Panasonic is helping shape the future of efficient heat pump system design.
