Daikin expands rental fleet

UK: Daikin Rental Solutions has expanded its UK rental fleet with higher-capacity screw chillers, a broader range of scroll heat pumps, new dry air coolers and purpose-built AHUs.

With demand for temporary HVAC said to be increasing rapidly across sectors where downtime is not an option, Daikin Rental Solutions offers access to the latest generation of factory-built systems.

The rental fleet has been expanded with the introduction of 800kW and 1MW inverter-driven screw chillers, alongside a broader range of scroll heat pumps from 50kW to 500kW. Complementing these is the addition of 250kW and 500kW dry air coolers.

Expanding its airside solutions, Daikin Rental Solutions now also offers a fleet of purpose-built air handling units, designed and manufactured at Daikin Applied (UK)’s Cramlington factory. The range includes 50kW vertical units, 100kW standard AHUs, and low-temperature variants.

All projects are delivered as fully managed packages, including system design, installation, commissioning, and ongoing support.

“By expanding our fleet across cooling, heating, process and airside technologies, we can deliver complete, high-performance solutions tailored to each application,” said Mike England, Daikin Applied’s UK rental sales manager.
