CHALLENGE & SOLUTIONS
For this project the customers needed to provide a busy airport in the north of Italy with very efficient and reliable technology, to upgrade the old HVAC system. Daikin managed to offer a total solution able to provide all the spaces in the airport with cooling or heating based on the need, hot sanitary water, and mechanical ventilation. That was possible thanks to a mix of screw inverter heat pumps and VRV heat pumps by Daikin, which have been used to split the cooling and heating demand of the entire facility, hot sanitary water included. To provide the airport with the right amount of ventilation, instead, a Daikin Modular P air handling unit has been installed. This solution not only will allow the airport to get the amount of air exchange that is needed but will also help save energy, thanks to the premium quality counter flow plate heat exchanger featured on this AHU Series, which will help recover up to 93% of thermal energy. The most important aspect of this project was energy efficiency, as it is important for airport operators that energy consumptions are kept as low as possible.
