Air-cooled chillers

Daikin describes its EWAD-TZ B range of air-cooled chillers as ‘pushing the boundaries of design to meet the challenges of green-building efficiencies and new legislation though the application of advanced technologies, resulting in a host of new features’. The refrigerant is R134a.

These chillers area available as single or twin-circuit units with cooling capacities from 170 to 700 kW. The screw compressor has integrated inverter technology combined with a technology that enables them to modify their own geometry, varying the condenser pressure charge to maintain the highest compression efficiency.

The advanced design of the heat exchanger delivers a high heat-transfer coefficient while minimising pressure drops. There are three levels of efficiency to choice from, offering the best compromise between efficiency and price.

The micro-channel condenser coil uses 30% less refrigerant charge.

All components are sealed in an insulated housing with compact electrical panel. The refrigerant cooling system keeps the electrical circuits at a constant temperature, extending the life and reliability of the system.

More refrigerant bans possible, says government

The government could tighten up the rules that restrict the use of global warming refrigerant gases including speeding up phase-out programmes and introducing new bans, according to a spokesman from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Baxi research suggests schools strongly support heat decarbonisation

A survey conducted by Baxi of 200 state school estates managers, consultant engineers and M&E contractors has found that while enthusiasm for Net Zero and support for low carbon heating systems in schools is thriving, persistent barriers remain.
