Centrifugal Chillers Deliver Efficient Cooling for Brussels Office Tower

Written by Maddison | Jan 29, 2025 1:25:29 PM

At Daikin, we understand the importance of reliable, energy-efficient cooling for large commercial buildings. For this project, we installed 3 x DWSC water-cooled centrifugal chillers, delivering a total cooling capacity of 5,700 kW. That’s why we were proud to provide a bespoke solution for a prestigious office tower in Brussels, ensuring optimal comfort and performance while keeping operating costs under control.

Cutting-Edge Chiller Technology for Large-Scale Applications

For this project, we installed three DWSC water-cooled centrifugal chillers, delivering an impressive 5,700 kW total cooling capacity. These chillers use R-513A refrigerant, which offers excellent performance while minimising environmental impact. Designed with Daikin’s advanced technology, they provide outstanding efficiency in both full- and part-load conditions, adapting seamlessly to fluctuating cooling demands.

Key Benefits of Daikin’s DWSC Centrifugal Chillers

1. Reduced Operating Costs & Energy Efficiency

Keeping operational costs down is a priority for any business. Our DWSC chillers are engineered to maximise energy efficiency, helping to cut energy bills significantly:

  • Superior Efficiency – The chillers dynamically adjust to match the cooling demand, reducing energy waste.

  • Durability & Reliability – Designed to maintain optimal gas velocity, preventing compressor stall or surge, even under low loads.

  • Advanced Inverter Technology – Minimises internal components to enhance performance, reduce energy spikes, and extend system lifespan.

These capabilities make the DWSC range perfect for buildings with varying cooling demands, such as office spaces and data centres, as well as process cooling applications requiring consistently high output.

2. Smart Management for Maximum Reliability

To ensure smooth operation and longevity, we equipped the system with Daikin’s Microtech4 controller, offering advanced monitoring and control:

  • Intelligent Chiller Manager (iCM©) – Optimises multi-chiller performance, reducing energy use and wear-and-tear on components.

  • Remote Monitoring with Daikin on Site (DoS) – A real-time monitoring platform providing 24/7 insights into system performance, enabling preventive maintenance and avoiding costly downtime.

  • Detailed Performance Tracking – Users can easily access live performance data either via the local controller display or remotely through the DoS platform.

3. Tailored to Your Business Needs

At Daikin, we know that every project is unique. That’s why we offer customisation options to match your exact requirements:

  • Flexible Configurations – Options for coils, gearboxes, and motors ensure precise capacity matching, avoiding unnecessary oversizing and reducing installation costs.

  • Space-Saving Design – In this project, we used a knockdown electrical panel to fit into a compact plant room, allowing for easier maintenance and installation.

This adaptability ensures the best fit for your building’s specific needs while improving efficiency and long-term reliability.

4. Hassle-Free Maintenance & Long-Term Performance

Nobody wants unexpected system failures or costly repairs. That’s why Daikin’s solutions are designed with proactive maintenance tools:

  • Daikin on Site (DoS) – Tracks unit behaviour, allowing for early detection of potential issues and preventive maintenance.

  • Refrigerant Leak Detection – Continuously monitors refrigerant activity, triggering alarms if a potential leak is detected. The system provides a detailed 12-month performance overview, helping to prevent costly downtime.

By integrating these features into our maintenance packages, we help businesses keep their cooling systems running efficiently with minimal disruption.
