Daikin Pathfinder AWV Air-Cooled Screw Chiller vs PWMC / RWC Water-Cooled Chiller
Spec comparison for two products on Aviation Souk. Both compete in HVAC & Climate Systems.
HVAC & Climate Systems
Daikin Pathfinder AWV Air-Cooled Screw Chiller
by Daikin
High-efficiency air-cooled screw chiller exceeding 22 EER IPLV across a 100–565 ton range, with no cooling tower required.
HVAC & Climate Systems
PWMC / RWC Water-Cooled Chiller
by Petra Engineering Industries
Modular water-cooled chiller from 10 to 70 TR per module with up to 16 modules combinable, offering incremental capacity expansion, N+1 redundancy, and optional heat-pump operation — suited to phased or mission-critical cooling builds.
