The Smart Choice - Upgrading from Daikin MT-11 to MT-IV

Written by esther | Jan 7, 2025 12:09:21 PM

Technology advances rapidly, and newer control systems are designed to adapt to future innovations. Upgrading to the Daikin MTIV controller extends your chiller's lifespan and ensures compatibility with future advancements. The retrofit kit for the Daikin MT-IV includes upgrading the unit’s controller hardware, bringing a host of benefits to your system.

Below are seven compelling reasons why upgrading to the Daikin MT-IV is a smart investment.

 
7 reasons to upgrade to Daikin MT-IV

 

Reason #1: The latest technology

Upgrading to the Daikin MT-IV enhances chiller performance, ensuring maximum efficiency while reducing energy consumption and operational expenses. With advanced diagnostics, including Daikin on Site remote monitoring, the new control system identifies potential issues early, minimising downtime and maintenance requirements.

Reason #2: Say goodbye to outdated technology

Relying on outdated controllers can result in inefficiencies and expensive repairs.

The MT-II controller is far from a straightforward plug-and-play solution, as its replacement requires manual tasks such as rewiring and expansion valve driver replacement, leaving the chiller operating at the level of technology from 15 years ago. Additionally, units equipped with the pCOB controller lack a direct replacement, making the upgrade from MT-II to MT-IV essential. The MT-II software has not been updated for over a decade, limiting system performance and increasing vulnerability to potential issues.

Upgrading to MT-IV provides access to modern features and capabilities that boost operational efficiency and significantly reduce ongoing maintenance costs.

Reason #3: Environmental & energy costs savings

The MT-IV upgrade enables chillers to use the latest environmentally friendly refrigerants, such as R513A and R1234ZE. The upgrade significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning to refrigerants with a lower global warming potential (GWP).

This not only lowers the carbon footprint but also ensures compliance with stricter GWP regulations, enhances sustainability efforts, and offers the potential for long-term cost savings.

Reason #4: New technology specialised technicians

Modern technicians are well-versed in working with the latest technologies. Upgrading the chiller to the MT-IV controller empowers your technical team to operate and maintain the most advanced systems independently. This upgrade facilitates faster troubleshooting, enhances performance, and improves operational efficiency while minimising downtime.

Reason #5: Availability of Spare Parts

Upgrading from MT-II to MT-IV provides straightforward, plug-and-play replacements with readily available spare parts. This simplifies repairs, reduces downtime, and ensures a swift return to full operation.

Reason #6: Simplified Daikin on Site service 

Modern control systems provide enhanced connectivity, allowing direct access to all current variables via a modem without additional devices.

Reason #7: Easy kit selection

Selecting the right retrofit kit is simple and intuitive, with tailored options that meet your needs.
