Successful Daikin Conveni-pack range expanded
Daikin Europe N.V. announces the expansion of its ultra-efficient Conveni-pack range for convenience shops. The existing AC 15 has been augmented with the new AC 17 that boasts higher heating and refrigeration capacity, introduces the use of R-410A refrigerant for more efficient refrigeration and even lower environmental impact, greater compatibility with indoor units, and longer piping lengths.
Conveni-pack concept
Conveni-pack’s comprehensive approach to cooling, heating and refrigeration results in drastically reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions, low noise levels, as well as a very compact footprint. A sophisticated control system, inverter technology and the ability to use heat recovered from refrigerated showcases and coldrooms to heat the building when necessary. This result in proven energy savings of up to 50% compared to traditional systems.
Conveni-pack consists of one or more inverter driven outdoor units and a system controller. Indoor units can be added as needed: Daikin air conditioning units for comfort heating and cooling, third-party showcases or evaporators for medium temperature applications. Low temperature showcases/evaporators for frozen products can be connected via an optional Daikin booster unit. Conveni-pack’s modular and scalable design and very low noise levels makes it suitable for a large range of applications. Larger installations can be supported via multiple outdoor units in a variety of configurations (blocks, rows, or distributed throughout the building).
Now even wider application
The Conveni-pack concept, successfully rolled out in Japan, the UK and Europe, has now been expanded to make it suitable to a wider range of applications. The new AC 17 units use R-410A refrigerant, extending the range of possible AC indoor units. For comfort cooling and heating, indoor unit possibilities include 2-way, and round flow cassettes, ceiling suspended units and high ESP and low ESP ducted units as well as the Biddle air curtain. A wide range of third party cooling and refrigeration units are also supported.
Piping lengths have been increased in the AC 17 to 130 metres, with support for level differences up to 35 metres. Indoor installation of the outdoor unit is also possible. Refrigeration capacity has been upped to 21.8 kW (T0= -10°C and Tamb = +32°C), heat recovery to 31 kW. The new range also includes more options for noise reduction.
In short, with the AC 17 line, the Conveni-pack success story has been extended to cover even more applications, while retaining all the benefits of an integrated total solution for the retail food industry.
