With a cooling capacity of over 1 MW, this Daikin chiller was supplied by Space Airconditioning for a project in the City of London.
Space Airconditioning has supplied three Daikin air-cooled liquid chillers for a prestigious office building in St Mary’s Axe in the City of London. The largest has a cooling capacity of 1200 kW and is said to be the first megawatt-plus chiller in the recently extended Daikin range to be installed in the UK. It has a single screw compressor with stepless control, weighs 9310 kg and is some 10 m long. Installing this chiller, made in Rome, required a substantial crane and it was successfully installed at the first attempt, despite wind conditions being close to working limits in the confined space. The other two chillers are rated at 725 kW of cooling.
