Technology is evolving rapidly, and newer control systems are designed to adapt to future innovations. Upgrading to the Daikin MTIV controller not only extends the lifespan of the chiller but also ensures it remains compatible with future advancements. The retrofit kit for the Daikin MTIV involves updating the unit's controller hardware.
Below are some reasons why, according to Daikin, upgrading the controller is a smart choice.
Reason #1: Latest technology available
Upgrading to Daikin MTIV optimizes the performance of chillers, ensuring they operate at maximum efficiency, leading to energy savings and lower operational costs. The new control system features advanced diagnostics (Daikin on Site remoting interaction) that can detect potential issues early, helping to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
Reason #2: Say goodbye to outdated technology
Sticking with outdated controllers can lead to inefficiencies and costly repairs. The MTII controller is not a simple plug-and-play solution, indeed replacing it requires manual tasks like rewiring, expansion valve driver replacement, resulting in a chiller that performs like one from 15 years ago. Furthermore, if unit has the pCOB controller, it does not have a direct replacement, making upgrading from MTII to MTIV a necessity. The MTII software hasn’t been updated in over a decade, limiting system performance and leaving it vulnerable to potential issues.
Upgrading will give access to modern features and capabilities that not only enhance operational efficiency but also significantly reduce ongoing maintenance costs.
Reason #3: Environmental & energy costs savings
The MTIV upgrade allows chillers to operate with the latest, more environmentally friendly refrigerants (R513A, R1234ZE). By switching to refrigerants with lower Global Warming Potential (GWP), the greenhouse impact can be significantly reduced. This results in a lower carbon footprint, improves regulatory compliance with stricter GWP limits, enhances sustainability, and offers potential long-term cost savings.
Reason #4: New technology specialized technicians
Modern technicians are trained to work with the latest technologies. By upgrading the chiller to the MTIV controller, certainly the company technical team can operate and maintain the most advanced system independently. This enables faster troubleshooting, optimized performance, and ultimately improved operational efficiency with reduced downtime.
Reason #5: Spare Parts availability
The MTII to MTIV upgrade offers easy, plug-and-play replacements with readily available spare parts. This reduces repair time, ensuring swift operational resumption and minimizing downtime.
Reason #6: Simplified Daikin on Site service
Modern control systems provide enhanced connectivity, allowing direct access to all current variables via a modem without the need for additional devices.
Reason #7: Easy kit selection
Selecting the right retrofit kit is simple and intuitive, with tailored options that meet your specific needs.
