Case Study: Dual-Temperature Cooling Deployment forInternational Frozen Food Manufacturer
Client: Leading Industrial Refrigeration Contractor
Project Location: Cambridgeshire
Application: Cold Store Facility
Installation Window: 05–09 January
Daikin Rental Solutions – Confidential Case Study
Introduction
When a major international frozen food facility needed a fast, reliable dual-zone cooling solution to maintain production continuity, at rusted industrial refrigeration contractor turned to Daikin Rental Solutions for support.
Faced with a tightly constrained installation window and the need to maintain two separate temperature zones, Daikin Rental Solutions deployed a bespoke rental cooling package that delivers both precision control and operational reliability, while minimising disruption to on-site activity.
Project Summary
End User Requirements:
- Temporary cooling for two distinct production environments
- Strict temperature targets:
- Zone 1: +2°C
- Zone 2: –5°C
- Rapid deployment with no downtime or interruption to existing operations
- Integration with existing plant systems where feasible
Daikin’s Rental Solution
To meet these requirements, Daikin provided two tailored cooling packages:
- –5°C Zone:
- Rental chiller with dedicated fan coil units for uniform cold air distribution
- Fully self-contained system with independent controls to prevent cross-interference
- +2°C Zone:
- Rental chiller only, connected to the site’s existing cooling infrastructure to streamline installation and reduce complexity
Why This Solution Worked
- Allowed modular deployment for flexibility and future scalability
- Reduced onsite disruption, essential for a live food production setting
- Delivered high-performance cooling tailored to each zone’s unique requirements
Project Execution
Installation in Just Five Days
The narrow five-day window (05–09 January) required:
- Precise logistical coordination
- Pre-configured, ready-to-install equipment
- Close collaboration between Daikin engineers and the refrigeration contractor
Outcome:
A fully operational system was commissioned on time, with zero impact on production schedules.
Installation Highlights
- Independent dual-zone operation, ensuring stability across both environments
- Plug-and-play chiller integration with minimal commissioning for the +2°C zone
- Use of fan coil units in the –5°C zone enabled targeted airflow and thermal control
- Swift deployment thanks to Daikin’s responsive rental logistics and pre-planning
Performance Outcomes
Although energy savings were not a primary focus of this temporary installation, several performance advantages were achieved:
- Consistent temperature stability across both zones
- No delays or downtime during the install phase
- Live system monitoring via Daikin on Site (DOS) software
- Simplified ongoing maintenance through modular design
Project Distinctions
- Successfully executed in a high-pressure, short-notice environment
- Delivered dual-zone cooling using discreet, fit-for-purpose technologies
- Enabled seamless integration with legacy systems without over-engineering
Monitoring and Support
While no service contract was required, Daikin on Site (DOS) provided real-time remote oversight:
- Live performance and fault monitoring
- Enhanced diagnostics and early warning alerts
- Greater peace of mind for the end user and contractor team
Conclusion
This confidential project demonstrates Daikin Rental Solutions' effectiveness in supporting mission-critical operations across industrial sectors. Working in close partnership with the appointed refrigeration contractor, Daikin deployed two customised rental systems in under five days, ensuring production resilience in a temperature-sensitive environment.
From seasonal support to emergency cover, Daikin Rental Solutions delivers scalable, plug-and-play cooling systems, ready to meet the challenges of food processing, cold storage, and beyond.
