Air-cooled chillers

Daikin describes its EWAD-TZ B range of air-cooled chillers as ‘pushing the boundaries of design to meet the challenges of green-building efficiencies and new legislation though the application of advanced technologies, resulting in a host of new features’. The refrigerant is R134a.

These chillers area available as single or twin-circuit units with cooling capacities from 170 to 700 kW. The screw compressor has integrated inverter technology combined with a technology that enables them to modify their own geometry, varying the condenser pressure charge to maintain the highest compression efficiency.

The advanced design of the heat exchanger delivers a high heat-transfer coefficient while minimising pressure drops. There are three levels of efficiency to choice from, offering the best compromise between efficiency and price.

The micro-channel condenser coil uses 30% less refrigerant charge.

All components are sealed in an insulated housing with compact electrical panel. The refrigerant cooling system keeps the electrical circuits at a constant temperature, extending the life and reliability of the system.

‘Red tape scrapping is welcome – but more policy changes are needed’

The CEO of heat pump manufacturer Aira UK has said the government’s new proposals to scrap planning red tape for the installation of heat pumps in the UK will be a big breakthrough for the industry and consumers – but more policy changes are needed.

New procurement rules for NHS suppliers

New procurement rules mean NHS suppliers will need to demonstrate their green credentials so the NHS can achieve its target of becoming net zero for directly-controlled emissions by 2040, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction in its carbon emissions between 2028 to 2032.
