Panasonic introduces BLDC Motor and Vacuum Insulation Panels at Acrex 2025

Panasonic Industry introduced innovative solutions – the advanced AR-T Series – BLDC Motors and the next-generation Vacua series – Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIP) for the HVAC industry at the ACREX India 2025. BLDC motors can be deployed in air-cooled chiller applications. Vacuum Insulation Panels offers multifold applications across ACs, refrigerators, water tanks, vending machines, heat water tanks, cooler boxes, warehouses, containers, refrigeration trucks, EV Cars and buildings.

The AR-T series – BLDC Motor’s innovative design significantly reduces noise and vibration, making it an ideal choice for air-cooled chiller applications where performance and energy efficiency are priorities. Vacua series – Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIP) are known for their advanced energy-saving, environmental protection, high efficiency, low thermal conductivity, and advanced performance (heat insulation is 20 times better than polyurethane foam). These solutions have been introduced keeping in mind the rise in demand for reliable, energy-efficient and tech-enabled components in HVAC designing.

Mr. Narayan Kumar, Divisional Director, Panasonic Industry, PLSIND, said, “HVAC industry continues to be on an upward trajectory with a CAGR of 15.8%.  Expanding market size, advancements in new-age technology adoption, green building initiatives, government’s push on infrastructure development are some of the key factors driving the demand in the industry. This has led OEMs to focus on trusted, performance-driven, environment-friendly solutions. At Panasonic Industry, we are committed to delivering next-generation, tech-enabled components that align with the evolving needs of the industry and end customers. For instance, the Vacua series features advanced energy-saving composite materials that not only enhance insulation, but its slim body (5~8 mm thickness) helps increase the storage volume in an appliance. Similarly, the ART-series Brushless fan motor delivers high energy efficiency with low noise and low vibration, thus ensuring a comfortable experience for customers. Our latest innovations in HVAC components and electronic solutions support this growing demand and reinforce our dedication to sustainability, efficiency, and technological excellence in India’s expanding infrastructure landscape. “

AR-T Series – advanced BLDC Motors

The newly launched AR-T BLDC Motor series represents a significant leap in motor technology, featuring aluminium winding and rare earth magnets that deliver exceptional performance metrics. These motors achieve an impressive maximum output of 3,000kW while maintaining an industry-leading efficiency rate of 91%. The new AR-T series guarantees high reliability while greatly lowering noise and vibration, making it an excellent option for chillers where performance and energy efficiency are top priorities.

Next-Generation Vacua series

After years of research and development, Panasonic has successfully developed the Vacua series, the fifth generation of vacuum insulation panels, by continuously upgrading and optimizing the production technology of vacuum insulation panels. VIP is one of the advanced energy-saving composite materials in the world that does not use Freon and other blowing agents, it increases the characteristics of environmental protection, high efficiency and energy saving.
