Ancillary Product of the year


SR47 WIRELESS REFRIGERANT SCALE FIELDPIECE


T


he wireless SR47 has been designed to offer performance and durability. It is able to fit all common refrigerant tanks


by offering a larger platform and a heavier weight capacity. The 114kg maximum load and the 33cm platform ensure that technicians can use the SR47 for a wide variety of refrigerant tanks.


It is built to withstand extreme weather (IP64


rating) and is made to be used at every job, no matter the conditions. Don’t worry about heavy rain or snow, the bright LED lights in the remote make sure the information is always visible. These improvements do not impact the compactness and portability of the product. If they did, the tool wouldn’t be designed with the technician in mind. It is made using a light but strong metal, aluminium, for the construction and bumpers of the scale.


The design is robust, rugged, and light which makes the SR47 a perfect companion for every technician. From residential systems to rooftop units, the SR47 can be easily transported, weighing just 3.2kg with carry case included. The remote is stored within the scale platform, allowing the technician to easily handle the refrigerant scale at every job and site.


Domestic Heat Pump of the year


ALTHERMA 3 LOW CAPACITY MONOBLOC DAIKIN


D


aikin Altherma 3 Low Capacity Monobloc has been designed specifically for the domestic market, with a particular focus on smaller homes with reduced space. The system is a ‘true monobloc’ with all its hydraulic components outside the outdoor casing. This new addition to the Daikin Altherma 3


range offers lower-capacity monobloc units, in 4, 6, and 8 class, all delivered in a compact single-fan casing. It is a ‘true monobloc’. It offers the most compact solution for homes where space is limited, integrating all the electric and hydraulic components into one compact unit.


The compact and stylish monobloc design


can even fit under a window, with dimensions of just (HxWxD): 770x1,250x362 mm.


The monobloc gets its power from inside. All hydraulic components are integrated into one unit which offers a simple solution for domestic situations where space is limited.


The judges felt that it was a very effective


product and compact with everything in it, as it integrates all the electric and hydraulic components into one unit.

R


-1234ze has a global warming potential (GWP) index below one, offers a product with the lowest carbon footprint, and is, ultimately, the long-term solution for screw chillers. Coupled with the ultra-low GWP HFO


refrigerant, the AquaForce Vision 30KAV’s Novation micro-channel heat exchangers provide outstanding energy efficiency delivered by the onboard variable speed drive, which precisely matches compressor speed to load, resulting in a 40% reduction in refrigerant charge. The units are available with a cooling capacity of 530-1300 kW (12/7°C) and 280-800 kW (-4/-8°C). They are optimised for industrial processing such as food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics, metal industries and applications requiring ultra-reliable cooling.


For mission-critical applications, such as process cooling and food manufacturing, Carrier has developed an ultra-fast capacity recovery option. In the event of the chiller power supply being interrupted, the recovery option enables immediate chiller restart following power restoration with 100% capacity recovery within one minute, minimising the risk of damage to the process or products being cooled.


The judges said that they liked the


unit’s compact nature and the fact that it can take just sixty seconds to get to full capacity.
