Project

Installation of a Daikin EWAT‑CZ air-to-water heat pump at Skaftárstofa, Kirkjubæjarklaustur
Skaftárstofa in Kirkjubæjarklaustur has adopted an advanced heating solution by installing a Daikin EWAT‑CZ air-to-water heat pump, an industrial solution designed for larger buildings. The aim was to ensure economical, reliable and environmentally friendly heating for the building.

Technical solution

Model: Daikin EWAT‑CZ, air-to-water heat pump with inverter technology.
Capacity range: 16–90 kW, suitable for large buildings.
Water temperature: Produces hot water up to 60 °C.
Operating range: Works at outdoor temperatures from −20 °C up to +46 °C.
Refrigerant: R‑32 with low GWP, which reduces environmental impact.
Control: Connects to BMS systems (BACnet, Modbus) and Daikin On Site for remote control.

Benefits of the project

Energy savings: Inverter technology and high SEER/SCOP values ensure a significant reduction in operating costs.
Environmentally friendly solution: R‑32 refrigerant and Daikin's Bluevolution strategy reduce the carbon footprint.
Reliability and flexibility: The system adapts to the building's actual needs and ensures steady heating.
Quiet operation: Axial fans with adjustable sound settings.

Reasons for the choice

The Daikin EWAT‑CZ was chosen based on the system's ability to:

Heat the building at low outdoor temperatures.
Reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
Meet requirements for sustainability and environmental responsibility.
