Daikin Launches Smart Control System for HVAC Plant Management

Daikin has unveiled its Smart Control System (SCS), a plug-and-play solution for optimizing the performance of hydronic HVAC systems. The system will be available starting January 2025.

Comprehensive Solution for HVAC Systems

Daikin’s Smart Control System (SCS) is designed to manage chillers, heat pumps, air handling units, and fan coils, targeting comfort applications such as offices, light commercial spaces, and small-to-medium hotels. By optimizing system operations, SCS aims to reduce lifecycle costs and carbon emissions, addressing both environmental and economic considerations.

SCS incorporates advanced algorithms like Smart Defrosting and Advanced Staging, enhancing reliability and extending the lifespan of HVAC systems. The plug-and-play system requires minimal setup, connecting units via Modbus protocol and using built-in sensors to streamline installation and operation.

Flexible Configurations for Different Needs

The SCS is offered in three scalable configurations: Light, Medium, and Full, each tailored to varying project sizes and complexities. It supports up to 4 chillers or heat pumps with a cooling capacity of 500 kW, managing additional equipment like fan coils and air handling units based on the configuration:

  • Light: Supports up to 20 fan coil zones or 10 air handling units (AHUs).
  • Medium: Accommodates up to 70 fan coil zones, or a combination of 10 AHUs and 50 fan coil zones.
  • Full: Covers up to 120 fan coil zones, or 10 AHUs and 100 fan coil zones.

Each zone can manage up to 30 fan coils through a dedicated Daikin-developed controller.

Compatibility with Daikin Equipment

SCS supports a range of Daikin products:

  • Chillers and Heat Pumps: EWAT-CZ and EWYT-CZ models, featuring Daikin’s inverter scroll compressors and R-32 refrigerant, with capacities from 16 to 90 kW.
  • Air Handling Units: Compact T (200–4200 m³/h) and Compact L (150–4000 m³/h), suitable for decentralized ventilation.
  • Fan Coil Units: Available in cassette, ducted, floor-standing, and flexible configurations.

Cost-Effective and Easy to Deploy

Daikin highlights the cost-effectiveness of SCS compared to third-party systems, as it minimizes the need for additional sensors and configuration. Installation can be completed during commissioning by a Daikin technician, further simplifying implementation.

With its scalable configurations and focus on total lifecycle performance, the Smart Control System offers a versatile and efficient solution for HVAC plant management.
