Daikin Applied Unveils the Magnitude WMT: A Game-Changer in Centrifugal Chillers

Daikin Applied, a leading innovator in high-efficiency HVAC systems, today introduced the Magnitude® WMT, a next-generation magnetic bearing centrifugal chiller that sets a new benchmark for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

The Magnitude WMT is the culmination of decades of Daikin Applied’s expertise in chiller technology and represents a significant leap forward in terms of performance and impact. Combining an ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant with oil-free magnetic bearing technology and a two-stage compressor, the Magnitude WMT delivers industry-leading energy efficiency while reducing environmental impact.

A Beacon of Energy Efficiency

At the heart of the Magnitude WMT’s exceptional efficiency lies its use of R-1233zd(E), a next-generation refrigerant with a GWP of just 1. This ultra-low GWP refrigerant significantly reduces the chiller’s environmental footprint, aligning with Daikin Applied’s commitment to sustainable climate solutions.

Furthering the Magnitude WMT’s energy efficiency is its oil-free magnetic bearing technology. Unlike traditional chiller bearings that require lubrication, magnetic bearings eliminate the need for oil, reducing friction and energy consumption.

The chiller’s two-stage compressor further optimizes performance by adjusting its compression ratio to match cooling demand. This variable capacity control ensures that the Magnitude WMT operates at peak efficiency across a wide range of operating conditions.

A Symbol of Environmental Responsibility

The Magnitude WMT is not only an energy efficiency powerhouse but also a champion of environmental stewardship. Its use of R-1233zd(E) refrigerant significantly reduces the chiller’s direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to the fight against climate change.

Additionally, the oil-free magnetic bearing technology eliminates the risk of oil leaks, preventing potential environmental contamination.

A Testament to Daikin Applied’s Innovation

The Magnitude WMT stands as a testament to Daikin Applied’s unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability. The chiller’s exceptional performance and environmental credentials reinforce Daikin Applied’s position as a leader in the HVAC industry.

By pushing the boundaries of technology, Daikin Applied is driving the industry towards a more sustainable future, one where high-efficiency HVAC systems not only optimize energy consumption but also minimize environmental impact.

As the climate crisis intensifies, the need for innovative and sustainable solutions like the Magnitude WMT becomes increasingly urgent. Daikin Applied’s latest innovation is a step forward in addressing this challenge, paving the way for a greener and more energy-efficient future.
