Daikin Applied
Daikin Applied UK has followed up last year’s launch of its TZ D air-cooled chillers with the introduction of a glycol- free option. Going glycol-free can improve heat transfer effi ciency and performance while also reducing
running costs. While glycol is useful in applications where freezing is a concern, it can be an environmental or health hazard due to its toxicity and can degrade over time, causing reliability problems. Choosing a glycol-free option can also be a regulatory
requirement in some regions and for sensitive environments like food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or data centres. So, Daikin has developed a “closed loop” system that delivers an effi cient solution for applications where avoiding the use of glycol is preferred. It is the latest addition to the company’s TZ D air-cooled free cooling chiller range, which employs the latest technology to deliver top performance across a wide range of capacities from 180 to 2150 kW. These free-cooling products are a popular solution for comfort,
process and critical cooling applications where the outdoor ambient conditions are between –20°C up to +55°C and supply water temperature is –12°C up to +30°C. The new EWFH/S/D-TZ D models are designed with a fully
integrated free cooling system, and the controls enable free cooling operation when the outdoor air temperature is low enough to cool the fl uid returning from the system to the chiller. The range is available with a choice of three refrigerants: R-1234ze, R-513A and R-134a, and in four effi ciency levels based on its single screw compressor design. The chiller also benefi ts from the use of one or two independent refrigerant circuits, and each compressor is equipped with a variable frequency drive (VFD), which off ers greater reliability whatever the outside conditions and adjusts the operating patterns to closely match demand. The units have a considerably smaller footprint than similar products on the UK market, helping with siting and installation as well as being a space-saving solution for end users. Remote monitoring is also available directly from the unit
controller via Daikin’s cloud-based tool Daikin on Site (DOS).

Connex Bänninger
Conex Bänninger revolutionised pipe jointing for air conditioning and refrigeration applications by introducing its MaxiPro press fi t solution to the market. Its latest product is Flow – a customised Y-joint – which is fully compatible with MaxiPro. The male ends of Flow have been designed to be fully congruent with MaxiPro, meaning installers will no longer need to adapt ‘Y’ pieces by creating braze tails off -site.
Mike Lucken, technical sales
manager - acr for Conex Bänninger, commented: “Flow is an important addition to our product portfolio, off ering installers several key features and benefi ts. It has been designed and stringently tested to deliver an improved and balanced fl ow inside the >B< Flow joint and, in achieving this, the level of turbulence and noise is reduced. In addition, a guaranteed equal distribution of refrigerant is conveyed through both legs, thereby providing optimum performance.” The Flow, which comes with pre-moulded insulation, is an
assured performer operating with a 3 times safety factor of 48 bar working pressure. MaxiPro is known for being quick and easy to install, thereby
signifi cantly improving productivity through greatly reduced installation time. Large commercial installations such as hotels and hospitals may involve thousands of metres of piping and the resulting cost savings can be considerable. Operating up to 48 bar, the product delivers a reliable, repeatable, permanent, tamper-proof joint every time.
