Climate Control
Daikin UK provides a perfect solution for refridgerating products at a Spar and petrol station in Whitehaven, Cumbria.
European Training Academy at Minworth, near Birmingham. The location is a refridgeration training facility with a working plant that runs on all three of the most promising alternative refridgerants. Peter Terry explains; “We are keen to work with proactive suppliers such as WR Refrigeration, who have embraced the new technologies and approaches coming onstream. We are exploring a number of promising new areas to ensure our stores are among the most efficient, safe and environmentally responsible in the world”. Patrick Mullins, WR Refrigeration’s
Business Development and Marketing Director, believes the plant will provide an excellent service for the industry; “We believe that technicians in the future will have to be competent in a number of disciplines, as end users embrace storewide energy solutions covering refrigeration and building services”. Investment in new technologies will help retailers of the future to make informed decisions on the most efficient solutions available. For retailers selling goods that need to be kept cool, refridgeration is key to making sure that food is at the right temperature without disrupting the general room temperature. Daikin UK, a company that specialises in environmentally responsible heat pumps, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, has recently provided a refridgeration solution for a Spar store and petrol station in Whitehaven, Cumbria. The store is situated in a builtup residential area, so it was essential that the refridgeration solution be energy efficient and ultra quiet. Daikin UK supplied a CVPR410a
condensing unit to serve four large display cases at 4.44kW and one smaller display

case at 2.96kW, all with glass doors at 6°C evaporating temperature. This solution is excellent for the project as the CVP, or ‘Convenipack’, outdoor unit recovers rejected heat from the display cases and recycles it to supply heat and hot water for the shop, and therefore provides a very energy efficient solution. CVP is very compact and has reduced
piping requirements. As a result, it has a footprint 60% smaller than conventional grocery refrigeration systems. Therefore this maximises the retail sales space available, which is always a great benefit for the retailer. A Zeas condensing unit was also used for the project, which provided a total of 8.15kW refrigeration capacity up to an ambient temperature of 35°C. Daikin believe that by combining CVP and Zeas condensing units, the optimum refrigeration, heating and air conditioning solution can be provided for virtually any retail concept. With cold weather on the approach, climate control is a pressing issue. The use of energy efficient solutions is an important thing for retailers to consider, as these look set to save energy and money in the long term.
