When two critical chillers failed at a high-volume food production facility, the site faced an urgent challenge. Without an immediate cooling solution, production was at risk of disruption, potentially leading to delays, product losses, and financial impacts.
To prevent downtime, the facility’s refrigeration contractor turned to Daikin Rental Solutions for a fast, reliable, and efficient cooling replacement.
Customer Requirements
The client required a high-performance temporary chiller to restore process cooling operations immediately. The solution needed to be:
- Rapidly deployed to ensure minimal downtime
- Fully compatible with the existing cooling infrastructure
- Installed seamlessly within the challenging site conditions
Daikin Rental Solution
To meet the urgent cooling demand, Daikin Rental Solutions provided and installed a Daikin EWYQ220F chiller, an efficient and flexible air-cooled chiller designed for industrial cooling applications.
The full rental package included:
✔ Hoses and power cables for fast connection
✔ System adapters to ensure full compatibility
✔ Pre-configured controls to integrate with the facility’s cooling system
With the chiller readily available, the Daikin team ensured a swift and seamless installation, allowing production to continue with minimal disruption.
Challenges and Expertise
One of the key challenges was the overhead pipework at the facility, which created access constraints during installation. However, Daikin’s experienced engineering team carefully assessed the site and implemented a practical installation strategy, ensuring the chiller was delivered and connected without issue.
A pre-installation site survey was conducted to assess potential risks and ensure a smooth deployment. This proactive approach helped avoid delays and optimise system performance from the outset.
