PROJECT
Daikin supplied 5 air-cooled screw inverter chillers from the MZ range for the second phase of an important project involving several hotels on Saudi Arabia’s west coast – an area dedicated to tourism-oriented facilities.
PRODUCTS
5x EWAD-MZ.
CHALLENGE & SOLUTIONS
The project aimed to supply a solution providing cooling for comfort, domestic water supply, and pools, which will be served through a primary and secondary network distributing chilled water across the area developed to be a tourism hub. Another customer need was to design the entire area as environmentally sustainable, using electricity entirely generated by a solar farm, then the lowest amount of CO2 emissions. To meet these needs, the high efficiency of the chiller can limit both energy consumption and CO2 emissions. To top that off, the units also had to be able to stand operations in high ambient temperature conditions and corrosiveness due to proximity to the sea. For this purpose, the units were designed to perform in environmental conditions that are specific to the Middle East (between 46° and 55° Celsius). Precisely regarding corrosiveness, the units installed were provided with a special coil treatment to ensure the proper unit performance and reliability over time, despite the presence of dust, salt, and other corrosive agents in the atmosphere.
