 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI),
jointly with Mitsubishi Corporation (MC),
has received an order for nine centrifugal chillers for a large-scale district
cooling system to serve Singapore’s
New Downtown currently under development at Marina Bay.
The nine chillers, with a total cooling capacity of 25,600 refrigeration tons,
were ordered by Singapore District Cooling Pte Ltd (SDC).
The centrifugal chillers on order use HFC-134a, a chlorine-free and zero ozone
depletion potential (ODP) refrigerant, and achieve the world's highest cooling
efficiency compared to the units delivered to SDC in 2006.
Of the nine units of 2,844 RT capacity chiller now on order, three units
are slated for delivery in spring 2009, which will be installed in the first
plant as part of SDC's expansion plan. The remaining six units will be
delivered in summer 2009 to be installed in the second district cooling plant
which is located in the Singapore's first integrated resort development area,
the home to a casino, hotels, shopping and convention facilities, reveals the
company’s press release. In April 2008, MHI established a centrifugal chiller
division at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Singapore Private (MHISP), targeted at
strengthening its marketing and service structure in Singapore
and throughout Southeast Asia. |
