Daikin Applied, a world leader in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, has unveiled a significant advancement in chiller technology. Their new Navigator® WWV water-cooled screw chiller prioritizes both efficiency and environmental responsibility, making it a game-changer for commercial buildings.

Sustainable Cooling with R-513A Refrigerant

The Navigator WWV boasts a key innovation: the adoption of low-global warming potential (GWP) R-513A refrigerant. This refrigerant offers a significant reduction in environmental impact compared to traditional options used in chillers. The lower GWP translates to a smaller contribution to global warming, aligning with growing demands for sustainable building practices.

Maintaining Industry-Leading Performance

Despite the shift to a more eco-friendly refrigerant, the Navigator WWV doesn’t compromise on performance. Daikin engineers have ensured the chiller delivers industry-leading efficiency levels while utilizing R-513A. This ensures building owners can prioritize both environmental responsibility and maintaining optimal cooling performance.

Enhanced Efficiency and Heat Recovery Potential

The Navigator WWV incorporates additional features that contribute to its overall efficiency. State-of-the-art variable volume ratio (VVR) compressor technology allows for precise cooling adjustments based on real-time needs. The chiller can also be paired with Daikin’s Templifier® TWV water heater, creating a heat recovery system that maximizes energy use.

A Sustainable Future for Commercial Buildings

“The Navigator WWV represents a significant leap forward in sustainable chiller technology,”

By offering a combination of exceptional efficiency, lower environmental impact, and potential for heat recovery, the Navigator WWV paves the way for a more sustainable future for commercial buildings. This innovative chiller positions Daikin Applied as a leader in developing environmentally conscious solutions for the HVAC industry.
