Daikin has recently supplied two air-cooled screw inverter chiller units from the TZ Series to meet the cooling needs of an expanding brewery facility in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, in West Africa.

The chillers have been installed so the HVAC system can meet the increasing cooling needs of the facility, which is gradually increasing production.

 

Products Installed:

2x EWAD-TZ

Total cooling capacity: 650 kW

About the products and the project

For this project, the end user needed chillers that could fully meet the process cooling needs of the facility, which, as already mentioned is expanding and needs extra cooling capacity.

One of the main requirements for this project was absolute reliability, as system breakdowns not only generate costs, but also have an impact on the quality of the brewing process and then, on the final product.

Finally, energy efficiency was the other important aspect, as keeping operative costs reasonably low is very important for any business.

So, the combination of proven reliability and outstanding energy efficiency performance is what was needed in this project. That was ensured by the TZ Series by Daikin, with two air-cooled chiller units featuring the Daikin in-house designed and manufactured screw inverter compressor.

More about Daikin’s screw inverter technology and the project

The screw inverter compressor by Daikin has been successfully used in so many different projects over the last 20 years which has made Daikin an absolute leader in the screw compressor field.

Over time, Daikin has introduced and integrated ground-breaking technology in the design of the single screw compressor. Constantly pushing the boundaries in the industry, innovating.

Technologies such as the Variable Volume Ratio (VVR), or the refrigerant-cooled inverter technology, have been directly integrated into the single screw compressor design, helping increase compressors' and chillers’ efficiency, with special attention towards the part load.

Part load efficiency is another very relevant aspect of this project. Despite food process applications usually requiring constant cooling loads during the year, that does not mean the chillers will operate in the same conditions throughout the whole year.

Thanks to the inverter technology, the two TZ chillers installed will be able to provide the needed cooling capacity and the highest energy efficiency levels at all times, all year round, despite ambient conditions that might vary.
