Daikin Rental Solutions provides reliable and energy-efficient temporary cooling solutions for industrial and commercial applications across the UK. With a fleet of high-performance rental chillers, including air-cooled and water-cooled units, we offer rapid deployment to minimise downtime and maintain critical operations.
So, when a 250kW process chiller failed at a dairy production facility in the North of England, the site faced a critical operational risk. Without an immediate cooling solution, production could be severely impacted. A leading refrigeration contractor turned to Daikin Rental Solutions for a fast and reliable chiller hire, ensuring uninterrupted cooling at zero degrees Celsius.
The client required a temporary 250kW cooling system to replace the failed chiller and maintain critical process temperatures. The priority was a fast deployment, ensuring that production could continue without disruption.
To meet the urgent demand, Daikin Rental Solutions supplied a Daikin EWYT540B-SRA2 chiller, fully equipped with hose fittings and power cables. The unit not only provided the required cooling capacity but also included built-in redundancy for added reliability and efficiency.
Within 24 hours of the initial request:
✔ The chiller was delivered
✔ Installed on-site
✔ Fully operational, ensuring minimal downtime
This rapid response allowed the dairy producer to continue production seamlessly, avoiding any risk of product loss.
The time-sensitive nature of this request was critical.
In food production, maintaining precise temperature control is essential to preserve product quality, ensure safety compliance, and prevent costly disruptions.
Any delay in restoring cooling capacity could have resulted in:
• Product spoilage, leading to food waste and health risks
• Production downtime, disrupting supply chains and fulfillment schedules
• Financial losses, from wasted raw materials and regulatory non-compliance
With fast logistics, pre-configured rental units, and expert installation teams, Daikin Rental Solutions ensured a seamless, high-speed deployment, keeping the dairy facility fully operational.
The Daikin EWYT-B is a high-efficiency air-cooled scroll chiller designed for industrial cooling applications. Built with modular design and intelligent controls, it ensures precision temperature management and operational reliability.
• Cooling Capacity: 82 – 650 kW, ideal for various industrial applications
• Refrigerant: R-32 (A2L classified – ISO 817) – a low-GWP, eco-friendly refrigerant
• Efficiency: SEER up to 4.92, EER up to 3.06, optimising energy consumption
• Reliability: One or two independent refrigeration circuits, with two or three compressors for maximum safety and easy maintenance
The Daikin EWYT-B series is compatible with Daikin on Site (DoS) – a cloud-based remote monitoring systemdesigned for HVAC performance optimisation.
By integrating Daikin on Site, operators can reduce system downtime, improve efficiency, and extend equipment lifespan through proactive monitoring and maintenance strategies.
Daikin Rental Solutions successfully restored full cooling capacity within 24 hours, preventing any operational downtime for the dairy producer.
Initially planned as a four-week rental, the client is now considering extending the hire to 12 weeks due to the system’s proven reliability.
