Zamil Central Air Conditioners Co. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zamil Industrial Investment Co. (Zamil Industrial), has been awarded a new contract valued at SAR 348 million (USD 92.8 million) from Al Fouzan Trading & General Construction Co. to supply custom chiller systems for the Saudi Real Estate Development Company (Dar Al-Hijrah) project owned by the Public Investment Fund of the Ministry of Finance, in Madinah, located in the western region of Saudi Arabia. 

The scope of the agreement, which is the largest project awarded in the history of Zamil Industrial, includes the supply of 80 custom water-cooled centrifugal chillers with a total cooling capacity of 200,000 tons of refrigeration (TR) for use in the first phase of the Saudi Real Estate Development Company project, owned by the Public Investment Fund of the Ministry of Finance,  which is being developed in Madinah on an area of 1.6 million square meters and has the capacity to accommodate around 120,000 pilgrims.  

The 200,000 TR will be generated by 80 MHI centrifugal chillers that include chiller plant management systems, inverters, refrigerant pump systems and automatic tube cleaning systems, comprising one of the largest district cooling plants in the world.  

MHI centrifugal compressors and chillers are considered the most efficient chiller systems in the world and employ the most advanced Japanese technology; they have a cooling capacity that ranges from 270 to 5,000 refrigeration tons per chiller, which is what is needed for today's more demanding construction projects.
