Daikin’s Magnitude WMT: water-cooled chiller
A magnetic bearing centrifugal chiller designed for low GWP refrigerant.
December 18, 2023 By Energy Manager
Daikin Applied has introduced the Magnitude WMT, a magnetic bearing centrifugal chiller designed for the low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant R-1233zd(E).
The use of low-GWP refrigerants is one of the pillars of building decarbonization, and the WMT refrigerant has an ultra-low GWP of 1.
Plus, the chiller’s magnetic bearing compressor with a variable frequency drive provides additional energy efficiency gains, and eliminates lubrication, mechanical seals, wear surfaces and gears.
The WMT’s compressor features a two-stage impeller layout enhanced by a refrigerant economizer. The dual-stage setup maximizes part-load performance, which is important because most chillers operate at off-design conditions approximately 99% of the time.
The WMT’s low in-rush current at startup is suited for operations with backup or emergency power systems decreasing disruptions to cooling of data centres and other vital services.
