Water Chillers VRV Ventilation

Split & Multi-Split Systems

Ideal for small to medium sized properties of all types including offices, shops, restaurants, bars or residential, split and multi-split systems can operate up to 5 indoor units from a single outdoor cooling only or heat pump unit for year round comfort. Operating with the safe, stable and efficient refrigerant HFC R-410A and incorporating inverter technology, these systems offer industry-leading performance and efficiencies. Select from a comprehensive range of stylish compact and extremely quiet indoor fan coil units, including the new round flow cassette.

VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume Systems)

Daikin VRV heat pump and heat recovery systems provide the ultimate in space saving, energy efficient climate control systems, from the average size residence to the largest of buildings. VRV systems use inverter controlled scroll compressors resulting in the industry’s highest COPs (coefficient of performance) ratings.

The VRV range includes a water-cooled version (VRV-WII), which uses water as its heat source and VRVIII. The third generation VRV offers even more design flexibility through a number of technological advancements including increased capacity, longer pipe length capability, greater fan coil connectivity (up to 64) and enhanced energy efficiency. The system features automatic refrigerant charging with built-in leak detection and the refrigerant content has also been further reduced.

In 2006 Daikin introduced a new version of the mini VRV (VRVIII-S), bridging the gap between the multi-split and larger capacity VRV systems. Up to 9 fan coil units can be connected to the mini VRV system.

Heat Pump Systems

Daikin split, multi-split and VRV systems can be available for cooling only applications, however heat pump versions are highly recommended, as these offer both efficient heating and cooling. Heat pumps are now classified as LZC (low to zero carbon) technologies, as such they can help in meeting the requirements of the latest Part L building regulations whilst qualifying for Enhanced Capital Allowances and reduced rate VAT.

Daikin Inverter Control

The frequency inverter control in Daikin systems reduces energy consumption by almost one third compared to non-inverter types. The inverter improves performance relative to power input, ensures a more even room temperature and eliminates power surges and stop/start cycles. Inverter technologies maximises operating efficiency so important in these times of environmental consciousness and the need to reduce carbon emissions.

Heat Reclaim Ventilation (HRV)

Efficient ventilation is a key element of the new Part F building regulations and Daikin’s heat recovery ventilation modules can be applied as stand alone units or incorporated within the air conditioning system. Temperature and humidity are exchanged between the supply and exhaust air, recovering potential energy losses and considerably reducing the air conditioning loads. The HRV modules feature a high efficiency VAM heat exchanger and are available in 4 models with airflow rates from 350 to 2000 m3/h and with optional DX Coil and humidity control.

Chilled Water Systems

Daikin’s recently extended range of air and water-cooled liquid chillers (nom. Capacities 5kW to 1.9MW), now include inverter and/or “stepless” compressor technology for improved capacity control and therefore greater part load efficiency. Renowned for their high reliability and low maintenance costs, Daikin’s screw compressors only require service inspection at 40,000 hr intervals.

All Daikin chillers are offered with a 3 year warranty as standard.

Daikin’s Integrated Chiller Network (DICN) allows the simultaneous operation of up to 4 chillers as if they were a single unit. This results in precise and efficient capacity control and is useful for back-up purposes, ensuring that only the necessary amount of cooling is supplied and guaranteeing the optimum operation of the chiller plant.

Daikin Control Systems

A comprehensive range of advanced controls to complements Daikin air conditioning systems.

The I-Manager is a computerised control system for Daikin’s VRV systems, operating up to 1024 indoor units and allowing precise control, simple settings and operating functions.

The Intelligent Touch Controller is a stand alone, plug and play system operating up to 2 groups of 64 indoor units at the touch of the screen. The Daikin DS-net intelligent monitoring control system can give the facilities manager access and control to 50 sites.

The Carbon Trust & ECA (Enhanced Capital Allowance)

Managed by The Carbon Trust, the Energy Technology List includes various technologies that meet pre-determined efficiency requirements. Many Daikin VRV, split, multi-split heat pump systems and chillers qualify for Enhanced Capital Allowances. See www.eca.gov.uk/etl.

Free RIBA & CIBSE Approved CPD Seminars

Space Air is happy to conduct free RIBA and CIBSE approved CPD seminars which provide information on the latest in air conditioning technologies, environmental standards and regulations.
