Daikin Applied has introduced enhanced versions of the Trailblazer AGZ-F air cooled scroll chiller, Maverick II packaged rooftop system and SmartSource water source heat pump with R32.
These products are now part of Daikin's extensive lineup of low-GWP solutions, giving consulting engineers, contractors, and building owners and operators an array of technologies to decarbonise facilities and deliver sustainable comfort.
Plus, the unique properties of R-32 refrigerant help deliver additional advantages such as high full- and part-load efficiencies, reduced unit weight and footprint, and easier serviceability.
Jim Macosko, vice president of product and sustainability solutions at Daikin Applied said the company decided to reengineer equipment specifically for R-32 to provide a range of benefits beyond the GWP value of the refrigerant.
“With the Trailblazer AGZ-F, for example, we were able to drop a bank of V coils and reduce the size of the chiller because of R-32's superior capacity and efficiency. Smaller, lighter, more efficient — these are benefits that provide value across the entire lifecycle of the machine and system,” he said.
Daikin has committed to R-32 for applications that previously used R-410A refrigerant. As a single-component refrigerant, R-32 boasts a two-thirds lower GWP compared to R-410A, and is easy to top off, recharge and reclaim in the field.
Not only is R-32 a more sustainable choice, but it stands as one of the most efficient, proven and accessible options available. With over 280 million R-32 HVAC units already installed worldwide, this refrigerant has been tested and widely recognized for its exceptional performance.
Trailblazer AGZ-F
Optimized for R-32 refrigerant, the Trailblazer AGZ-F air-cooled scroll chiller delivers reductions in spatial footprint, weight and refrigerant charge, and improvements in integrated part load value compared to previous models. With a 30- to 240-tonne range, the Trailblazer serves a variety of applications — from mission-critical buildings and data centres to hospitals and manufacturing facilities.
Maverick II
Maverick II is a 30- to 50-tonne commercial packaged rooftop system now available with R-32 refrigerant. Arriving as a fully integrated solution, the Maverick II offers significant design and installation cost savings. It comes with a variety of factory-installed options, such as energy recovery and modulating hot gas reheat, all of which enhance performance across the life of the unit. Maverick II is ideal for one to three-story buildings, including offices, schools, libraries and more.
SmartSource WSHP
With low-GWP R-32, the SmartSource WSHP boosts performance and uses less refrigerant than other WSHPs on the market. The horizontal and vertical 2- to 6-tonne configurations now offer a standard two-stage compressor option, resulting in high efficiencies, low-noise operation, high indoor air quality and consistent air temperatures. With a ½ to 25-tonne range, these WSHPs are optimal for schools, clinics, office buildings and other projects where cost savings and high efficiency are key.
