How Controlled Heat Recovery Works
During normal chiller operation, massive thermal energy is rejected through condenser fans into the air. The HR2 retrofit connects a compact, high-efficiency plate heat exchanger directly into the refrigerant circuit to redirect heat into your hot water loop before it is lost.
Convert fixed-speed screw compressors into variable-speed inverter-driven systems. Adapt compressor speed dynamically to matching partial loads for substantial operational savings.
Circuit Limit
UP TO 3 CIRCUITS
Inverter Retrofit package integration is supported for air-cooled screw chillers with up to 3 independent refrigerant circuits.
Enclosure Standard
IP 54 CABINET
All 6 inverter packages are housed in an IP 54 protective cabinet, guarding sensitive electronics against dust and splashing water.

Key Advantages of Daikin Chiller Modernisation
Component & Efficiency Upgrade
Critical components are replaced and upgraded to the latest Daikin technology.
Refrigerant Conversion
Enables smooth conversion of legacy chillers to environmentally compliant refrigerants.
Strategic Budget Management
Protects capital budget and minimises operational disturbance
Transform aging Air Handling Units into high-efficiency, compliant air systems. From EC fan arrays to ISO 16890 filtration and Euroclass A insulation panel upgrades.
Upgrade Services We Offer
Fans Upgrade
Upgrade from old belt-driven centrifugal fans or AC plug fans to high-efficiency EC fan arrays.
Key Advantage:
Delivers higher efficiencies, CO₂ savings, easy maintenance, and built-in redundancy.
Filters Replacement
Update filter solutions and housings from BS EN 779 to the ISO 16890 classification standard.
Key Advantage:
Significantly enhances Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) whilst reducing overall system pressure drop.
Coil Refurbishment
Replace damaged or worn heating/cooling coils to restore peak thermal performance.
Key Advantage:
DX coils offer substantial cost savings compared to electric heater batteries (load dependent).
Damper Servicing & Replacement
Repair or replace worn dampers to ensure exact airflow set-points at minimum pressure drops.
Key Advantage:
Restores precise pressure management and prevents unconditioned air leakage.
Panel Upgrades
Replace damaged casing panels to improve airtightness and thermal performance.
Key Advantage:
Reduces overall energy consumption and provides continuous operational monitoring.
Control & Re-commissioning
Site surveys of controls highlight sub-optimal setups for full system re-commissioning and Daikin on Site integration.
Key Advantage:
Reduces overall energy consumption and provides continuous operational monitoring.
Typical Energy Savings
8-10%
Compatible with DWDC Centrifugal Chillers
Electronic Precision vs Mechanical Fixation
Mechanical TEVs operate with rigid, fixed opening characteristics. The Daikin Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) dynamically modulates refrigerant mass flow continuously based on real-time evaporator superheat and changing building load conditions.
Improved Efficiency
Enhanced Control Precision
Reduce Energy Waste
Reliable Solution
Upgrade existing VRV III heat pump installations to VRV IV Variable Refrigerant Temperature (VRT) technology using newly designed Japan-manufactured compressors and PCB sensor kits.
Key Benefits of VRV Compressor Retrofit
Why building managers and service contractors choose Daikin VRV III to VRV IV retrofit programs over total system replacement:
