Judd Refrigeration has successfully installed a state-of-the-art Daikin EWAH-SRB2 600kW air-cooled chiller at Massey University’s Hopkirk Research Institute in Palmerston North. This upgrade is crucial for supporting the institute’s leading-edge research on pastoral livestock’s health and welfare.
The newly installed chiller stands out for its eco-friendliness, utilizing R1234ze refrigerant with an ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 7 and zero ozone depletion potential. This efficient system eliminates the need for a cooling tower, thus simplifying maintenance and reducing operational costs significantly.
Integration with a BacNet BMS interface provides advanced monitoring and early fault detection, aligning seamlessly with the building’s stature. Despite challenges with weather conditions, Judd Refrigeration adapted the installation with temporary mounts and ensured the chiller was positioned with precision.
The result is a cutting-edge, sustainable cooling system that promises to enhance the research facility’s efficiency and reliability for many years.
