PROJECT
Daikin supplied two water-cooled centrifugal chillers from the DWSC range for an important district cooling project in Milan, Italy. The newly installed units for this project will provide cooling to a whole neighborhood in the city, an area designed to be modern, green, and environmentally sustainable.

CHALLENGE & SOLUTIONS
The project was about providing a solution for district cooling in an area in the city of Milan that is being redeveloped to become a "contemporary neighborhood". It is a modern urban redevelopment project aiming at transforming the area by creating a new landscape and a new place to live in the city. The area includes residential buildings (500 houses), 10,000 sqm dedicated to shops, and 30,000 sqm of offices, all in a 160,000 sqm big park, only 16 minutes away from Milan Duomo.
For this redevelopment project energy efficiency and minimized environmental impact on the whole area were the main goals. For this, having an efficient cooling system not only was important to keep energy consumption low but also to help reduce CO2 emissions.
Besides, the possibility to control and monitor the installation in an effective way from a remote was crucial, as the control room is located in a different area of the city.
To meet both the cooling capacity, the efficiency, and the low environmental needs in this project, Daikin supplied two centrifugal chiller units from the DWSC Series.
The units stand out not only for the high capacity provided and low energy consumption, not only thanks to the in-house developed centrifugal compressor and overall optimized unit design, but also thanks to 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.
