Case Study: Energy-Efficient VRV Heat Recovery Installation at PALL Aerospace
Project Overview
Concept Cooling Ltd successfully delivered a 3-Pipe Heat Recovery VRV installation for PALL Aerospace, implementing a modern, energy-efficient climate control system capable of providing simultaneous heating and cooling across the facility.
The project utilized advanced R32 refrigerant technology, helping reduce environmental impact while improving system efficiency and performance.

The Solution
Concept Cooling designed and installed a Daikin VRV heat recovery system tailored to the building’s operational needs.
Outdoor Units:
-
2 × Daikin REYA18A VRV outdoor units
-
Total capacity of 45 kW cooling and 50 kW heating
Indoor Units:
-
8 × Daikin FXFQ125B Round Flow Cassette units
-
Designed for optimal air distribution and flexible climate zoning
The 3-pipe heat recovery configuration allows the system to redistribute heat between zones, meaning areas that require cooling can transfer heat to areas needing heating, significantly reducing wasted energy.

Conclusion
This project demonstrates how modern heat recovery VRV technology can transform building climate control by improving efficiency and operational flexibility.
By combining advanced equipment from Daikin with the expertise of Concept Cooling Ltd, the installation delivers a high-performance, future-ready HVAC solution that supports both operational efficiency and sustainability goals.
