Daikin Australia has launched a strategic new refrigeration business unit with the introduction of a range of commercial refrigeration condensing units. The units are designed specifically for refrigeration applications to operate display cabinets and coolrooms for supermarkets, convenience stores, service stations, as well as food and beverage services.
“On a global level, Daikin has over 100 years of extensive experience in the commercial refrigeration market including unrivalled quality and innovation in refrigerants, controls and compressors,” says general manager for applied and solutions business Gaurav Malik.
“The new local refrigeration business unit allows Daikin Australia to capitalise on Daikin’s global expertise and provide a broader suite of integrated solutions, service and support to our commercial customers.”
The condensing units are manufactured by J&E Hall, a worldwide member of the Daikin Group. They are designed for small capacity refrigeration applications with a number of new features and functions.
“The new compact condensing units offer efficient operation, improved reliability and longevity,” says Daikin. “Microchannel heat exchanger technology reduces refrigerant volume in the system in a more efficient way than traditional fin and tube heat exchangers, providing savings on installation costs. A new adjustable fan speed and pressure switch provides added flexibility to deliver optimal operation for the chosen refrigerant.”
According to Daikin, the units are extremely quiet and efficient during operation due to the acoustically-lined casing and the option of low fan speeds, making them suitable for noise-sensitive projects.
“Installation and maintenance is simple and easy,” says Daikin. “J&E Hall has a full range of reciprocating and scroll condensing units in various casing sizes with multiple refrigerant options, providing installation flexibility. Access to major components is available through the front and side via hinged doors for trouble-free maintenance. The condensing unit casing is powder coated to enhance resistance to corrosion, offering longer term reliability.”
The range includes 27 medium-temperature models ranging from 0.9–15.5kW capacity and 14 low-temperature models ranging from 0.8–12.8kW capacity.
“Daikin is dedicated to strengthening its presence in the refrigeration segment by eventually providing solutions in all phases of the cold chain,” says the company. “Customers can expect to see the introduction of a wider line of refrigeration equipment for commercial and industrial use in the near future.”
