Description

Daikin provide air conditioning solutions for medical facilities and hospitals.

The following solutions are usually used for Medical facility applications:

1. Chilled water systems which circulate water throughout fan coil units, chilled beams and air handlers as a medium for providing heating and cooling of the spaces.

A chilled water system is a central heat generation / absorption plant that use water as a medium to transfer heat throughout the air conditioning network. It consist of various pressurised pipework, pumps, buffer tanks, valves, fan coil units and customisable controls. The advantage of these systems over refrigerant based systems is that there are larger selection with more scope for customisation.

Generally, VRV systems are used for small to medium buildings while chillers are used in large scale applications. Chilled water systems can offer a higher efficiency than a VRV system. A Chilled water system does not have limitations on pipework length, this is dependent on the pump selection rather than the chiller.

Chilled water systems with a regular maintenance and service plan can serve:

10-15 years for air cooled chillers
15-30 years for water cooled chillers

2. Fresh air processing for heating, cooling and indoor air quality treatment via AHUs.

AHU (Air handling unit) is a system that pre-condition outdoor air for ventilation purposes as required by the Building Code and reduces operational load of air conditioning system.Modular AHU are designed based on the client requirements.
