New computer room air handler (CRAH) for data center cooling 

Daikin recently launched the new Pro-C, a computer room air handler (CRAH) that expands its data centre product portfolio. This unit is designed to meet the cooling requirements of any data centre configuration, offering an optimized design and advanced control strategies. With a cooling capacity ranging from 30 kW to 210 kW, its flexibility and modularity allow it to adapt perfectly to any data centre layout and requirements. 

Efficiency is a key aspect, achieved through features such as optimized chilled water heat exchangers, the latest generation of EC fans, and the integration of pressure-independent control valves and active harmonic filters. Reliability is ensured by advanced control strategies and automatic transfer switches to prevent power failures.

The new Pro-C was recently presented at Data Centre World (DCW) 2025, the premier event for data centre professionals, held at ExCeL London on 12-13 March 2025.  

Data center case study in Norway 

Another significant step in the last fiscal year was the participation in a major project to supply 71 free cooling chillers, 330 fan arrays and 8 control systems for Norway's largest data center, OSL-Hamar, owned by Green Mountain. Daikin's cooling solution addresses the need to provide environmentally friendly and highly energy-efficient data centre solutions. 

In particular: 

• EWFH-TZ D air-cooled free cooling units: Chosen for their efficiency, reliability and compactness. These units feature Daikin-developed technologies such as the screw compressor, variable frequency drive (VFD) and integrated active harmonic filter. 

• Daikin Intelligent Data Centre Manager (iDCM) control system: Uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimise data centre operations. It continuously monitors equipment sensors and adjusts operating parameters in real time to ensure efficient and reliable performance. The competitiveness of this solution is further enhanced by its ability to quickly adapt to changes in demand, improving the overall efficiency of the data centre. 

• Daikin Pro-W Fan Array units: These compact units provide precise and uniform cooling, essential for maintaining optimal conditions within the data centre. Daikin Pro-W units are designed with a modular approach, allowing for easy scalability and redundancy. They can be stacked or placed directly against each other without compromising airflow, making them suitable for large to hyperscale data centre installations.

Solutions for Heating decarbonization 

To achieve the goal of reducing carbon emissions associated with heat production and minimizing its environmental impact, Daikin is committed to developing more efficient and sustainable technologies and renewable heating systems. 

New heating control system to enable decarbonization 

Smart Control System is a comprehensive control software for building HVAC systems. It optimises system performance by adjusting equipment staging and sequencing and managing operating setpoints throughout the HVAC system. By combining heat pumps and controls, it supports the decarbonization of heating. Smart Control System has an intuitive interface that is easily accessible from any web browser. Users can gain real-time insight into system performance, compare equipment efficiency, chart historical data and monitor alarms. For added flexibility, manual control is readily available via the Smart Control System Plant Manager page.   

This controller is versatile and can be applied to a variety of equipment. It is compatible with chillers and heat pumps, including EWYT-CZ and EWAT-CZ units. For air handling units and fan coils, it can work well with the D-AHU Modular T and Modular L, FWEDA, SHINKA, and FWECSAP. 

New high-temperature heat pump EWYE-CZ  

In February 2025, Daikin introduced the new EWYE-CZ air-to-water heat pump, ensuring both efficiency and environmental sustainability. This unit is equipped with Daikin's advanced Inverter Scroll compressor technology and uses R-454C refrigerant. It is available in eight compact sizes; all designed for maximum efficiency and compactness. The range includes eight sizes from 16 kW to 70 kW, all equipped with Daikin Inverter Scroll compressors and Daikin Inverter driven fan. The operating range allows hot water to be supplied from +20°C to +70°C, making it suitable for space heating and hot sanitary water production, a perfect solution for residential heating systems. It can operate in ambient temperatures from -25°C to 40°C, thereby ensuring proper heating even in cold winter regions

Upcoming: the new air-sourced heat pump with propane EWYK-QZ  

The launch of the new EWYK-QZ modular air-to-water heat pump is scheduled for the end of 2025, but a prototype was on display at ISH Frankfurt, Europe's leading HVAC trade fair, from 17 to 21 March. Using R-290 (propane) refrigerant, the new system is designed to meet a wide range of comfort heating, cooling and domestic hot water needs, providing a powerful and sustainable solution. The EWYK-QZ modular air source heat pump will offer cooling and heating capacities from 100 kw (single module) to 2000 kw (group configuration). It can replace boilers by providing hot water up to +75°C. In cooling mode, it operates from -15°C to +27°C at the evaporator outlet. The unit is designed for harsh conditions, operating in ambient temperatures from -20°C to +46°C.

High-temperature water-to-water heat pumps 

Another future initiative will be the EWWH-VZ water-to-water heat pumps providing hot water up to 90°C. This VZ series features the R-1234ze refrigerant, thanks to which it will be possible to extend the operating range, transforming it into a high-temperature heat pump. Launched in July 2025, the pump will be suitable for industrial heating, district heating, commercial applications, and the replacement of new buildings.  This upgrade represents an enhancement of the existing design, creating a new high-temperature inverter heat pump solution. It is crucial for decarbonization and industrial processes, such as applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, it is highly relevant for district heating projects, which are gaining traction in various European countries.

Technology innovation 

One of Daikin's main objectives is to continuously innovate and stay current with technological advancements. Recently, a new Building was constructed at the Ariccia site of Daikin Applied Europe, dedicated to research and development (R&D) activities for innovative technologies. Within this new facility, there will be two main areas: the Engineering Area and the Climatic Test room.  

The first building is dedicated to prototyping and housing three test benches for water-to-water units with cooling capacities of 4500 kW, 600 kW and 300 kW, respectively.  

The climate test room is divided into three sections that can be connected by partitions. These laboratories can test units with cooling capacities up to 100 kW, 300 kW and 700 kW, respectively. Air-cooled units (chillers and heat pumps), water-to-water units, four-pipe systems and free cooling systems can be tested. The climatic test room is designed to operate at ambient temperatures between -20°C and +52°C, with the option of using outside air as an energy-saving measure for the system.
