When completed, the 490-meter, 118-story ICC will be Hong Kong's tallest and the world's third-tallest building in terms of usable floors. The six centrifugal chillers will provide cool air to the office portion of the building. The shipment marks MHI's first delivery of its high-efficiency centrifugal chillers with HFC-134a refrigerant re·frig·er·ant adj. 1. Cooling or freezing; refrigerating. 2. Reducing fever. n. 1. A substance, such as air, ammonia, water, or carbon dioxide, used to provide cooling either as the working substance of [1] to Hong Kong. The first phase of the ICC is scheduled for completion in May 2008. Kowloon is one of the most skyscraper-forested areas in the world, containing numerous buildings exceeding 200 meters in height. Even so, the ICC will rise above the crowd. With a Ritz-Carlton Hotel on the top floors and offices, retail stores, restaurants, residences and serviced apartments on the middle and lower floors, the ICC will be a complex facility and sightseeing spot serving as a new landmark in Hong Kong. The six centrifugal liquid chillers shipped have a cooling capacity of 2,056 RT (refrigeration ton[2]) each. The high-efficiency, energy-saving chillers address environmental concerns by adopting HFC-134a chlorine-free zero ozone depletion potential The ozone depletion potential (ODP) of a chemical compound is the relative amount of degradation to the ozone layer it can cause, with trichlorofluoromethane (R-11) being fixed at an ODP of 1.0. Chlorodifluoromethane (R-22), for example, has an ODP of 0.05. (ODP) refrigerant. A microcomputer control system with color TFT liquid crystal display liquid crystal display (LCD) Optoelectronic device used in displays for watches, calculators, notebook computers, and other electronic devices. Current passed through specific portions of the liquid crystal solution causes the crystals to align, blocking the passage of light. (LCD) enables meticulous and optimized operation management.
