The Navigator WWV can help accelerate sustainability and decarbonization efforts.

The Navigator WWV water-cooled screw chiller by Daikin Applied uses low-global warming potential (GWP) R-513A refrigerant. When paired with an optional Templifier TWV water heater, it creates an energy- and cost-efficient heat recovery solution that allows building owners and operators to trim utility costs and accelerate sustainability and decarbonization efforts.

The Templifier TWV technology allows the Navigator to recover large amounts of heat that would typically be rejected from the building, then use that heat to produce hot water up to 140 degrees F. for processes or domestic hot water. It can also act as a boost to heat pumps for building heating. Navigator WWV’s single-screw design and variable volume ratio (VVR) compression technology provide excellent part-load efficiency and sound reduction. Navigator WWV is available in sizes from 120 to 300 tons and is engineered for high-lift operation.
