PROJECT
Daikin has supplied air-cooled single screw chillers for a new 13 stories hospital in Saudi Arabia. The 6 chiller units by Daikin will be providing chilled water to the 40 Air Handling Units installed to distribute the necessary cooling to all the environments in the hospital, surgery rooms, and labs included.

CHALLENGE & SOLUTIONS
For this project, the main need was having an energy-efficient HVAC system. So, chillers were required to be extremely efficient. That is why the premium efficiency version of these chillers was chosen for the project, so the hospital’s system could meet the cooling needs of the building while keeping the power input of the chillers low. That was very important, as other manufacturers require higher power inputs to provide the same cooling capacity.
Another reason for choosing Daikin was reliability. The chillers, needed to be installed on the rooftop of a building directly hit by the sunlight, while operating at temperatures between 46° and 52° C. All that creates conditions that might be hard to stand for chillers, but since Daikin has an impressive track record in projects of this kind, the customers have absolute trust in the brand.
