Daikin chillers achieve high seasonal energy efficiency

Daikin, chiller, air conditioning

Daikin Europe’s EWAD~CZ range of air-cooled chillers with inverter-driven screw compressors achieve an ESEER (European seasonal energy-efficiency rating) of up to 6, with optional fan-speed regulation. Variable-speed operation makes the well suited to applications with variable loads, such as comfort cooling.

Inverter technology also contributes to quieter operation and precise chiller water temperatures — as well as lower starting currents, power factor always being above 0.95, less buffer-tank capacity for the hydraulic system and increased reliability because of fewer compressor operating cycles.

These chillers have cooling capacities from 635 to 1800 kW.

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.
