Regarding HORECA, the priority is the changes created by the F-Gas regulation, which will accelerate the move towards natural refrigerants. Daikin will display its Monoblock range based on refrigerant R290, including the new ceiling-mounted Monoblock LMC. This unit uses unique inverter technology, offering up to 40% greater efficiency compared to a typical ON/OFF model.

For food retailers, AHT will launch the groundbreaking plug-in refrigeration & freezing chest unit ‘Kigali’, utilizing the natural refrigerant R290. This product sets a new standard for plug-in units and will be presented to the public for the first time. Additionally, Daikin will display its complete solution offerings for CO2 remote and Semi Plug-In applications by combining the solutions of different brands such as AHT, Daikin, Hubbard, Tewis and Zanotti. This includes products such as:

  • The AHT SPI pump station, a heat recovery unit for the ‘Vento’ and ‘Borea’ water loop cabinets, which can be combined with Daikin heat pump units.
  • The compact CO2 large size unit Nova58+ from Tewis.
  • The new CO2 Cascade from Hubbard, a low temperature booster unit which can be connected to Daikin CO2 Zeas and CVP units and
  • Daikin's innovative CO2 Conveni Pack.
Another focus will lay on the growing Semi-Industrial and Industrial Refrigeration applications, such as food processing and logistic centres. Tewis will display their ‘Mini Smart Duplex’ multi compressor rack with the unique Eco2Smart+ technology, offering the best efficiency in the market. Zanotti will showcase their prototype of Seasoning Unit with low GWP (Global Warming Potential) solutions, and, last but not least, Hubbard will present the Industrial Monoblock with low GWP solutions.

Throughout the event, Daikin and its cold chain brands will host a series of presentations at their stand, providing in-depth insights into the latest products and services. During the exhibition, new products will be launched, and visitors can attend presentations covering various topics related  to Daikin’s Cold Chain product and solution range.
