Daikin Applied’s Pathfinder AWV features a first-of-its-kind integrated water-side economizer (WSE) that brings the benefits of free cooling to an air-cooled screw chiller with (Variable Volume Ratio) VVR® compression technology and total unit configurability. It was this feature, along with the packaged unit’s ability to offer significant reductions in energy use and cost savings, that led our panel of judges to select it as the 2021 Commercial Comfort Product of the Year in the Cooling Equipment category.
