Daikin Wins the 2015 Dealer Design Awards Twice Over
Daikin stole the show at The News’ 2015 Dealer Design Awards and won two of the top awards. The Magnitude™ Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller won the Gold, while the RoofPak™ Rooftop Air Handler won Bronze. The competition was fierce, but Daikin’s commitment to efficiency and reliability pushed these two products through to the finish line.
First Place Winner: Daikin’s Magnitude
Daikin’s Magnitude Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller combines virtually nonexistent compressor vibration, low maintenance requirements, and exceptional efficiency. The Magnitude is quieter than your washing machine with acoustic ratings as low as 76 dBA, tested according to AHRI Standard 575. This chiller contains a one-of-a-kind compressor shaft that is levitated on a magnetic field. This device results in zero contact with any other part within the compressor during operation. The frictionless design requires significantly less maintenance than typical chillers, which use oil to reduce friction.
Efficiency was at the forefront for the engineers who created the Magnitude. Average energy expenses are reduced by 40% for users of the Magnitude, compared to other options on the market. Daikin’s outstanding customer support also factored into the judge’s decision to award the Magnitude the gold medal this year. All of these features equate to better living and working conditions for occupants of schools, hospitals, condominiums, and museums.
Third Place Winner: Daikin’s RoofPak
Daikin’s RoofPak packaged rooftop system received the bronze medal for its impressive reliability, cost efficiency, and customization. The RoofPak arrives as a completed package, reducing the cost of additional equipment and installation. Energy savings produced by the outstanding features inside the unit can add to your profit margins year over year due to the reliability and efficiency of this system. Finally, the superior indoor air quality created by the Roofpak makes it a perfect solution for healthcare facilities, hotels, schools, office buildings, data centers, and casinos.
