Daikin has recently provided it’s a complete HVAC solution for a mixed-use complex, which will be the largest shopping and entertainment center in Aşgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. There will not only be shops, bars, restaurants and cafes. Within the walls of the new complex will also rise offices building and residential buildings.
Products installed
16x EWAD-T-C screw compressor chillers
72x Air handling Units
660x FWV Fan coils
1467x FWA Fan coils
Project Background
It will look more like a Sultan’s palace than a shopping center: 17 buildings with hundreds of rooms in almost 240 thousand square meters. The complex is still under construction and will be the result of the work and the bold ideas of the best architects and designers of Turkmenistan.
Environmental sustainability is definitely one of the main aspects in this project. The entire complex is being built following a whole concept based on environmentally friendliness, so it was important to have HVAC technology that could fit into this concept and help making the complex a green as possible.
That was possible thank to Daikin’s screw compressor chillers that are well known for being very efficient. HVAC technologies efficiency was crucial, not only because that has an impact on energy bills and operative costs, but most importantly because consuming less means making sure that less CO2 is discharged into the atmosphere, and that is absolutely vital as climate change effects are more and more visible.
Daikin’s single screw compressors, differently from other screw compressors, uses one main screw mashing with twin star rotors to produce volume matching compression cycle. Due to the main rotor, balanced in both radial and axial direction, the compressor bearing has extremely high reliability. Therefore, its life span can be longer than other screw compressors. The single screw compressor has only three moving parts. As a result of that, possibilities of failure are reduced, and operation costs are kept at a lower level.
The Air Handling Units installed will introduce fresh and filtered air in the premises of the complex, extracting at the same time exhaust air. Providing constant air exchange, the system will ensure indoor air is constantly cleaned out from impurities and contaminants, which is very important, as we have experience during the Covid-19 pandemic.
