<Breaking>: Daikin triples workers addressing cooling system defects after some Tengah BTO residents face leaks again!!!

Can any sexperts advised how this cooling tower thing works? Is it like an evaporative cooler used outdoors ? Ducted refrigerated air-conditioning makes the atmosphere cooler and air dryer....so how does this tengah crap work?

In theory sound good (to fill up the coffers for the contractors) but in reality is a horror show.

Besides huge fugly trunking, it's a most kum gong inappropriate design not meant for residential areas like horror disaster waiting to happen.

Such commercial concepts has been applied successfully on industrial/commercial offices simply because it is designed to be applied across large floor spaces with centralized ceiling blower units which has less variation in cooling timing during office or opening hours. Hence power savings can be achieved through sheer economies of scale.

It should never be force-fed into individual small pigeon holes as the chilled system are never meant to be designed this way. In fact it becomes less efficient when there are too many chilled water pipes being routed to individual units which are turned on/off at different times by low-ses HDB owners - worse for different rooms some more throughout the day, resulting in uneven load and long cooling times.

My guess the problem is that the cooling tower fans not big and powerful enough, if the fans are weak, the pipes will be super cold and condensate water forms very fast spoiling all the insulation.

To summarize in one sentence: Our high humidity climate is definitely not suitable for such a system.

DAIKIN Singapore is going to get sued kaw kaw.

This technology ain't new.
Who fuck this project up ?

Why hotels and buildings are doing it so easily and duplicated across the board ? We don't have issues with it.

Commercial units are customers (tenants) comfort first with more consistent and predictable operating times. Their centralized chilled system is designed to be applied across large floor spaces with centralized ceiling blower units which has less variation in cooling timing during office or opening hours. Hence power savings can be achieved through sheer economies of scale with proper cooling.

Whereas for this Tengah BTO, HDB under the guise of 'Sustainable Design' to reduce carbon footprint, imposed all kinds of ranjiao cost-savings KPI pressure on SP Group/Daikin to meet their Green agendas without giving due diligence to the well-being of residents. As a result, many units did not have proper insulations with leaking issues.

Coolie-gene residents also have unpredictable operating times which makes load distribution extremely difficult to operate with pipes going into individual pigeon hole units with own blowers in each room, unlike hotels or commercial offices/units. Hence many residents experienced ridiculously long time to cool. If they want faster cooling, will Jiak Dian, need to activate compressors/chilled water pump to work harder to draw more power, which defeats the whole purpose of the centralized chilled system, so all have to GG together and farked big time in the arse til shiok shiok.

Basically these tengah residents are the sacrificial lambs for a new experiment. Like the LRT n bukit panjang

So it's a totally useless system for HDB flats, so exciting! Can't wait to see this to Tengah flats!!!

Just say no to whatever 'sustainability' nonsense they are trying to sell you these days. It's a scam invented by the globalist anti-carbon cult.
