Pathfinder AWM
Air-Cooled Magnetic Bearing Compressor Chiller

Model AWM

AWM represents the next evolution in air‑cooled chiller performance – pairing Daikin Applied’s proven platform with advanced oil‑free magnetic bearing compressor technology for exceptional efficiency and lower lifecycle costs, ultra‑quiet operation and long‑term reliability. Engineered for data centers and other mission‑critical environments, AWM delivers the configurability, uptime, ambient capability and intelligent control needed to keep facilities running at peak performance.

AWM compressors

Magnetic Bearing Compressors

Pathfinder AWM’s magnetic bearing compressor platform is built for the nonstop demands of data centers, delivering oil‑free, frictionless operation that keeps efficiency high and risk low. Its levitating shaft and two‑stage impeller eliminate mechanical wear points and contamination pathways, while an integrated VFD drives precise, stable performance across rapid load swings. The result is a compressor engineered for uptime – quiet, clean, and relentlessly reliable under mission‑critical conditions.

awm configurable

Configurable Design

AWM fits seamlessly into fast‑moving data center projects, delivering big capacity, high‑ambient performance and factory‑integrated options that cut complexity from day one. Efficient fans and compressors combined with controls helps drive down energy use, while factory‑installed pump packages streamline installation and reduce onsite coordination. With features that support efficiency, sustainability, and continuous uptime, the AWM gives operators a flexible, ready‑to‑deploy platform that keeps mission‑critical cooling simple, stable and scalable.

AWM microtech controls

User-Friendly Controls

MicroTech® controls put clarity and control front and center, giving operators an intuitive interface that makes managing mission‑critical cooling fast and frustration‑free. Smart diagnostics and seamless BAS integration reduce guesswork, streamline oversight, and keep facilities focused on uptime – not troubleshooting. And because every unit is factory‑tested before it ships, you get a smoother startup and a system ready to perform the moment it’s installed.

AWV fans

Ultra-Quiet Operation

AWM delivers impressively low sound levels that make it easy to place in noise‑sensitive environments without compromising performance. Low-audible electronically commutated (EC) fan motors and magnetic bearing compressors work together to create a smooth, quiet cooling platform that supports tighter site planning, fewer acoustic constraints and a more comfortable operating environment across the entire facility.
