Chillers For Industrial Process

The Perfect Setting For Wine Tasting

The holiday season is upon us – wine farms and restaurants need to be ready for the influx of people not just with products, but also with atmosphere.??

According to tourism research from Wesgrow, the Cape Town tourism sector recovered over the Easter season. During this time, it was the Cape Winelands that was the most popular region among domestic visitors. This was taken from data insights from over 70,000 tourists.

Cape Town winery hotspots can expect tens of thousands of people streaming in as Summer hits its peak.?

While HVAC systems are essential to provide buildings with a level of comfort, these systems are indispensable for industrial settings, especially when it comes to beverages and foods.?

To ensure proper storage of harvested grapes and wine fermentation, wineries are turning to Daikin for precise control. With wineries receiving an increasing number of visitors each year, it continues to be of utmost importance to ensure an atmosphere conducive to winemaking and wine tasting.??

Daikin is now being asked to provide a total solution that not only includes the wine-making process but also air conditioning solutions for restaurants and gift shops.

Daikin At Taaibosch

Popular Stellenbosch-based winery, Taaibosch, wanted energy-efficient solutions to meet all the needs of the establishment.?

Where energy efficiency is concerned, Daikin sets the standards with remote sensors, highly accurate thermostats, advanced remote-control handsets, and online systems. Our systems put you in control, always, as you can finely adjust temperatures, airflow and comfort levels for the optimal conditions.?

Daikin installed two air-cooled scroll heat pump chillers, two ZEAS medium temperature units, one VRV outdoor unit (heat pump), and five concealed ceiling units to meet the needs of Taaibosch, from the winemaking process to public space comfort.?

The grapes used for winemaking need to be temporarily stored in the cold room at below 5 °C to avoid spontaneous fermentation – the low-noise ZEAS system ensures these specifications for the freshest grapes possible. Cooling the fruit before pressing also slows down oxidation, which is an enzymatic controlled reaction and therefore temperature sensitive. Treating the grapes correctly helps ensure the best wine possible.

Daikin solutions aren’t just for grapes, though. With its high-efficiency operation, wide temperature range, and proven VRV technology, Daikin cooling systems are the ideal solution for cold stores, freezer rooms, and food retail applications as it offers low to medium temperature control between -45 °C and +10 °C to meet a range of requirements.??

Cooling Solutions For Dairy Plants

When it comes to milk, temperature needs to be precise.

Milk needs to be stored at a low temperature before pasteurisation and then cooled down again after pasteurisation.

In the first case, milk needs to be stored at constant temperatures between 10 °C and 6 °C right after the harvest, because bacteria in the milk starts multiplying immediately and only low temperature storage can preserve the quality of the milk. Slowing the bacteria growth down with the correct temperatures is important because it ensures the milk has a longer shelf life and can be processed into a higher quality product.

Chillers in these circumstances need to be reliable as well as energy efficient.?

Daikin is consistently innovating to create the best quality HVAC solutions for industrial operations, while still ensuring the environment doesn’t pay the price.?
