ZEAS: Daikin efficiency and reliability for low and medium temperature refrigeration applications
Daikin Europe N.V. (25/11/2009)
Compact refrigeration condensing units combine performance, low operating costs and low sound emissions
Concern for the environment has led to increased demand by the refrigeration industry and food retailers for energy efficiency and environmentally friendly solutions. The growing popularity of neighbourhood corner shops and convenience stores has also made noise and size constraints an important factor. To meet this demand, Daikin developed the ZEAS range for deep freezing and medium temperature applications: compact refrigeration condensing units that offer high performance, low operating costs, low sound emissions and renowned Daikin reliability.
Optimum economy and performance for multiple refrigeration units
The principles behind the technology that revolutionised the comfort cooling industry – Daikin VRV® – have now been applied to refrigeration applications. A single system can supply optimum cooling to multiple refrigeration units, each receiving just the amount of cooling capacity it needs. Inverter control of the scroll compressor maintains high efficiency, even in partial load conditions, resulting in decreased CO2 emissions, reduced operating costs, and highly efficient and reliable performance in a wide range of applications. A new economizer function allows increased cooling capacity – and hence efficiency – without increasing system size. ZEAS also introduces the use of R-410A refrigerant in refrigeration applications: currently the best compromise available for the environment, energy efficiency and equipment cost.
Broad range of applications
ZEAS provides adaptable cooling capacity for multiple evaporators or variable refrigeration loads in ambient temperatures from -15°C to 43°C, with evaporating temperatures from -45°C to +10°C. A range of models in single, double or triple compressor systems (from 5 to 20 HP) are available for freezing and cooling applications. Low sound levels, including "night mode" operation, a compact footprint and easy installation make ZEAS ideal for a range of applications including convenience stores and supermarkets, petrol station forecourts, cold and freezer rooms, and food processing.
Daikin Reliability
The renowned Daikin reliability is further increased thanks to the use of advanced scroll compressor technology and high quality components. Each unit is factory tested, and the use of DC motors with inverter control for both the compressor and fans reduces the number of start/stop cycles, resulting in longer system life.
