PROJECT
Daikin has recently supplied 4 centrifugal chillers that will be installed on a world-cruising ship. The project is part of the ship operator's efforts to improve energy efficiency and ensure reliable and efficient cooling on board. The DWSC range by Daikin managed to meet both the cooling capacity, the efficiency, and the low environmental impact needs in this project.

CHALLENGE & SOLUTIONS
One of the main drivers for choosing Daikin's chillers was the need for energy efficiency, which is achieved through the free cooling option available with the DWSC range. The units from this range stand out not only for the high capacity provided and low energy consumption, not thanks to the in-house developed centrifugal compressor and overall optimized unit design but also for the Daikin inverter integrated into the electrical panel of the unit. The inverter will help to constantly adapt units’ energy consumption to the actual cooling needs of the area served by the installation, avoiding energy waste.
This means that the chillers can make use of favourable outdoor conditions to cool the ship's interior spaces, reducing the energy required to run the cooling system. This not only saves energy and reduces costs, but also helps to lower the ship's carbon footprint. Another requirement was reliability, and to meet this purpose the design of the DWSC range ensures a high level of performance and durability, even in harsh environments. The four 2800 kW centrifugal chillers will ensure that the ship's passengers and crew are comfortable and cool, while also helping to lower the ship's energy consumption and carbon footprint. Additionally, Daikin's chillers have been designed and tested to meet the demanding requirements of the maritime industry, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of prolonged use at sea.
