For Hotel Panorama, MB Frigo Grupa delivered: Haier R32 modular water chiller. Total capacity: 200 kW.
About the project: Hotel Panorama
Hotels need reliable air conditioning throughout the season, with the quietest possible operation and the lowest possible operating costs. A modular system allows the hotel to run fewer units during periods of lower occupancy and full capacity in peak season.
Solution: Haier R32 modular water chiller
The Haier R32 modular water chiller is an air-to-water monobloc system that provides cooling and heating from a single platform and, depending on the configuration, domestic hot water. It uses the refrigerant R32, which has a lower global warming potential (GWP) and requires a smaller charge than older refrigerants, and is equipped with DC inverter scroll compressors with EVI technology (Enhanced Vapor Injection) for stable operation even at low outdoor temperatures.
What this means for designers and investors:
- Modularity – up to 16 units can be connected in cascade, so capacity is matched precisely to the building and the system can be built and expanded in phases.
- Reliability and redundancy – several smaller units instead of one large unit keep the building supplied even while one unit is being serviced.
- Wide operating range – operation at outdoor temperatures from –30 °C to +53 °C.
- High part-load efficiency – inverter control follows the actual demand of the building throughout the day and season.
- Easy integration – compatible with fan coils, underfloor heating and radiators, with monitoring via BMS/SCADA (Modbus).
Why MB Frigo Grupa
Haier is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of air-conditioning equipment and heat pumps. MB Frigo Grupa has been active in air conditioning and refrigeration since 1981. For air-conditioning projects it provides technical support for designers in selecting and sizing systems, equipment supply, and support with commissioning, service and maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
How does a modular water chiller reduce hotel air-conditioning costs?
Hotel occupancy changes throughout the day and the season. During periods of lower load the modular system runs only the units required, inverter control follows actual demand, and servicing one unit does not stop air conditioning for the whole hotel.
What is a modular water chiller?
It is a system made up of several identical air-to-water units connected in cascade. Total capacity is the sum of the units, and the control switches on only as many units as the building needs at any moment.
