Energy Savings

Energy Savings
The Daikin McQuay Magnitude™ chiller is the most energy efficient chiller in its size range with part load performance as low as .31 kW/ton IPLV.

How Much Can You Save?
Using the McQuay Energy Analyzer™ program, the estimated energy savings with a Magnitude chiller are impressive. Your payback could be as short as 2 years, as shown by these examples.

Quiet
The Daikin McQuay Magnitude™ chiller is the quietest chiller in its size range with sound pressure ratings as low as 76 dBA per AHRI 575. Sound levels will be even lower at reduced loads and non-standard design conditions. That makes it ideal for sound sensitive environments such as schools, performance halls, museums, condominiums and libraries.

Ideal for Retrofit and Replacement
The compact size of the Magnitude™ chiller makes it ideal for retrofit and replacement installations. In addition, the space that would have used for equipment can now be put to more productive use in the facility. Some models can even fit through a standard 36-inch door without dissassembling the shells. Even the most challenging access projects can be accommodated using McQuay's factory disassembly option.

Reliable
From 2003 through 2010, nearly one thousand Magnitude™ chillers have been installed around the world, providing consistent comfort and energy savings.
