    Daikin has more than 70 years experience in manufacturingadvanced, high quality equipment air conditioning forresidential, commercial and industrial applications.

    The Japanese mother company Daikin Industries Ltd. isactively engaged in research into a wide spectrum of scienceand disciplines, from mechanics and electronics to chemicalsand fluorocarbons.

    Since its formation in 1972, Daikin Europe has evolved froma component assembly plant into the most advanced airconditioning manufacturing complex in Europe. All Europeanstandards regarding production, health and safety are metin full.

    The environment

    Daikins unique position as a manufacturer of both fluorocarbon refrigerants and air conditioning and refrigeration

    equipment has not surprisingly led to its close involvementin environmental issues.

    Once ozone depletion in the stratosphere becameattributable to chloro fluoro carbon refrigerant chemicals(CFCs), Daikin took the decision to cease both theirproduction and that of the products that use them. At thesame time, Daikin joined leading world manufacturers inthe research into safe and environmentally friendlyalternatives. The Environment Protection Agency of theU.S.A afforded recognition of these efforts in June 2002by presenting Daikin with its prestigious trophy for

    the protection of the environment.

    Daikin intends to become a leader in the provision ofenvironmentally friendly products. This challenge demandsthe eco-design and development of a comprehensiveproduct range and an energy management system thataddresses energy conservation, reduction in waste and thecontrol of hazardous substances etc.

    1987The original VRV air conditioning system developed byDaikin in 1982 is introduced into Europe in Standard

    format. The system is able to supply conditioned air from upto 4 indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit.

    1990The end of the year sees the launch of the newInverter system with the facility to operate up to 8 indoorunits from a single outdoor unit. Inverter capacity controlgreatly increases system flexibility and efficiency.

    1991A further step forward is taken in 1991 with the intro-duction of the Heat Recovery system, offeringsimultaneous cooling and heating from different indoorunits on the same refrigeration circuit.

    1992Continuous improvements to energy efficiency and systemflexibility lead to the development of the advancedin which fresh air supply (HRV) and computerisedmanagement (DACMS) are integrated with the VRV.

    1994Consistent high quality and efficiency lead to the wide-spread acceptance of the VRV concept and Daikin becomesthe first Japanese air conditioning manufacturer to beawarded the ISO9001 certification.But the search for improved flexibility and energy efficiencydoes not stop there. Unrivalled field experience and closeregard for market requirements enables Daikin to apply yetanother quantum leap to VRV technology - theInverter-H series, operating up to 16 indoor units from just1 outdoor unit !

    1998In anticipation of phase out dates for all CFC basedequipment, Daikin Europe steps up the production of VRVair conditioning units using ozone friendly refrigerant.

    Daikin Europe celebrates its 25th anniversary with the awardof an ISO14001 environmental certificate and theintroduction of Inverter K series with R-407C, incooling only or heat pump format. As many as 16 indoorunits can be connected to 1 single outdoor unit.

    1999The series using R-22 has been designed aroundleading edge technologies to accommodate high capacityair conditioning networks of up to 30 indoor units from asingle refrigerant circuit.

    Another step forward has been taken with the launch of theheat recovery series using R-407C and connecting up

    to 16 indoor units to 1 single outdoor unit.

    2000Because of the growing needs of large-capacity systems

    Daikin Europe introduces the series using ozonefriendly refrigerant, in heat pump format. Up to 32 indoor

    units can be connected to a single refrigerant circuit.

    2001The latest addition to the VRV Plus series is theheat recovery series using R-407C. Up to 32 indoor units canbe connected to a single refrigerant circuit.

    2002Daikin launches the new series an environmentalfriendly, energy saving series with high COP levels and

    flexible design characteristics.

    2003Daikin Europe has achieved a quantum leap forward incommercial air conditioning technology by the introductionof its ,the worlds first R-410A operated variablerefrigerant flow system. Available in cooling only, heatpump and heat recovery versions, the new system, whichrepresents a considerable advance over earlier VRV systems,demonstrates Daikins innovative application of newtechnology and the latest HFC refrigerants to its VRVproduct programmes.

    Many new features and installation benefits areincorporated in . Its operating range for example 5hp, then 8hp to 48hp in 2hp increment steps (22 systemcombinations), is wider than any of its contemporaries.Furthermore, its ability to run no less than 40 indoor units inheat recovery as well as heat pump format cannot atpresent be matched by other comparable systems.

    In recent years, design styles for intelligent buildings such as

    hotels, banks and offices etc. have increasingly featured largeareas of glazing with attendant high solar heat gains that canonly be dissipated by means of air conditioning. Notsurprisingly therefore, air conditioning has grown inimportance and is now widely accepted as an integralcomponent of most modern architectural concepts.

    The increasing use of electronic office equipment raisesthermal loadings still further to a point whereby, even inwinter, internal temperatures can reach uncomfortable levels.The demand for cooling or heating can also vary considerablythrough-out the day depending on the number and

    occupation of personnel on the premises. But end users havecome to expect far more than just cooling and heating fromtheir air conditioning.

    The ideal modern system mustbe energy efficient, easy toinstall, flexible, reliable anduser friendly. Fresh air must besupplied without increasing

    energy consumption and therole of central managementfacilities should also beconsidered in this respect formedium to large sizedbuildings. The Daikin Hi-VRVsystem meets all thesedemands.

    The innovative Hi-VRV selection programme, Daikins flag

    ship software package, enables you to exploit the systemspossibilities to the max and guarantees the end user a perfectservice.From now on you can fully plan your Daikin air-conditioningproject on a step-by-step basis without difficulty.

    Consideration for the evironment in which we live and work, isafforded very high priority by Daikin. The companys unique position asthe worlds only manufacturer of both air conditioning equipment andrefrigerant chemicals enables it to offer the perfect symbiosis of hightechnology and environmental protection.Daikin has actively engaged in intensive research into ozone friendlyrefrigerants, resulting in the development of innovative techniques forenergy efficient systems that reduce CO2 emissions and limit

    global warming.

    INVERTER COOLING ONLY

    For cooling operation from one system Up to 16 indoor units can be operated from a single outdoor unit

    without the need for an additional adapter PCB. The line-up of 5, 8, 10hp models is ideally suited to applications in

    smaller facilities and minor expansions and upgrades.

    INVERTER HEAT PUMP

    For either cooling or heating operation from one system Up to 40 indoor units can be operated from a single outdoor unit

    without the need for an additional adapter PCB. An extensive capacity range starting at 5hp, then from 8hp to 48hp

    in 2hp increments, meets all customer requirements concerning smallto large buildings, whether new or existing

    HEAT RECOVERY

    For simultaneous cooling and heating operation from one system Up to 40 indoor units can be operated from a single outdoor unit in

    heat recovery format. Extensive capacity range from 8hp to 48hp in 2hp increments, meets

    all customer requirements concerning small to large buildings,whether new or existing.

    Heat recovery is achieved by diverting exhaust heat from indoor unitsin cooling mode to areas requiring heating.

    The BS unit switches the system between cooling and heating modes.

    Inverter technology

    The linear VRV system makes use of a variable Proportional Integral(PI) control system which uses refrigerant pressure sensors to giveadded control over inverter and ON/OFF control compressors inorder to abbreviate control steps into smaller units to provideprecise control in both small and larger areas.This in turn enables individual control of up to 40 indoor units ofdifferent capacity and type at a ratio of 50~130 % in comparisonwith outdoor units capacity. 5 HP outdoor units use inverter controlcompressors only.

    BB . EnergyEff ic ie nt S ol ut io nLow running costs

    VRV systems have low running costs because it permits each zoneto be controlled individually. That is, only those rooms thatrequire air conditioning will be heated or cooled, while thesystem can be shut down completely in rooms where no airconditioning is required.

    VRV units have the highest COP/EER in the market in the mostcommon operating area

    Most advanced reluctance brushless

    DC compressor technology

    The scroll compressor is driven by the newly developed motor,enabling better performance, higher enery efficiency resulting inhigher energy cost savings.

    2

    HRV - Heat Recovery Ventilation System

    Heat and humidity are exchanged between supply and exhaust air,

    which- brings outdoor air close to indoor air conditions- recovers energy loss- realises considerable reduction of air conditioning capacity

    The VAM heat exchanger modulates the humidity andtemperature of incoming fresh air to match indoor conditions.

    The balance achieved between indoor and outdoor ambients,enables the cooling/heating load placed on the air conditioningsystem to be reduced. (heat and humidity are exchanged)

    Most energy saving solution as smaller indoor units can be selected :- size down of indoor units down to 40 %- payback total VAM system : 2.5 years*

    *conditions : outside cooling conditions : 30C / outside heating conditions : - 8C

    inside cooling conditions : 24C / inside heating conditions : 22C

    ventilation per room : 150m3/h

    Ideal modular concept to cope with the fresh air requirements

    Auto restart capability

    Even after exceptionally long power failures, the built-in auto restart

    capability ensures automatic system start up. Since the preset memoryis not erased by interruptions in power supply, no programmeresetting is necessary.

    Low operation sound level

    Continuous research by Daikin into reducing operation soundlevels has resulted in the development of a purpose designedinverter scroll compressor and fan.

    The new grille and fan offer low noise, high volume airflow andare housed in a compact casing together with the associatedcompressor components. The use of this new technology assemblyenables a 16hp unit to be housed in a single casing.

    Aero spiral fan:Bending the fan blade edge reduces turbulence, resulting in lesspressure loss

    Aero fitting grille:New shape promotes spiral discharge airflow, resulting in reducedpressure loss

    Night quiet function (max. -8dBA)During night time, sound level of the outdoor unit can be reducedfor a certain period : starting time and ending time can be input

    Daikin indoor units have very low sound operation levels,down to 25 dBA.

    Duty cycling

    The cyclical start-up sequence of multiple outdoor unit systemsequalises compressor duty and extends operating life.

    Special oil equalising technology

    The incorporation of this technology ensures that the optimumquantity of oil is contained in each outdoor unit module in orderto maintain compressor reliability. Automatic checks are carriedout every 6 minutes on the number of compressors in operationand also to ascertain that there is enough oil to keep them running.In the event of a shortage being indicated, oil can be piped fromother outdoor units in the system via the oil balancing pipe linkingmultiple systems.

    Each compressor in a VRV II outdoor unit is equipped with aninternal oil equalising circuit, comprising an oil separator and oilreturn circuit. This ensures that the maximum quantity of oil isreturned to the compressor case before entering the REFNET pipingnetwork. The oil equalising circuit of each outdoor unit is linkedto those of the other outdoor units, allowing additional reliabilityand oil circulation during partial load operations.

    No standby equipment required

    Conventional VAV (Variable Air Volume) systems and chiller/fan coilsystems require expensive and bulky standby units in case ofbreakdown. Since most outdoor units of the VRV system comprisea number of independent compressors, the system as a whole willcontinue to function in the event of a unit breakdown.

    Daikin Europe has achieved a quantum leap forward in commercialair conditioning technology by the introduction of its VRV II, theworlds first R-410A operated variable refrigerant flow system.

    Available in cooling only, heat pump and heat recovery versions, thenew system, which represents a considerable advance over earlierVRV systems, demonstrates Daikins innovative application of newtechnology and the latest HFC refrigerants to its VRV productprogrammes.

    Less waste and improved re-cycling

    The lead free, soldered PCB obviates environmental contamination,whilst the re-cyclable galbarium steel bottom plate is designed tolast around 6 times longer than the traditional galvanised base.

    Refrigerant recovery function

    The refrigerant recovery function enables all expansion valves tobe opened. In this way the refrigerant can be drained fromthe piping system and stored in the receiver and the condenser.

    VRV II systems are easilyadaptable to changes inroom layout : extra indoorunits can be added to aVRV outdoor unit up to acapacity level of 130%.

    Also, since VRV II heatrecovery systems offersimultaneous cooling and

    heating, existing indoor andoutdoor units can continue toprovide year round airconditioning from theirexisting locations, even ifoffice layouts are altered orextended.

    Complete flexibility

    The VRV II system enables different floors or even rooms to berented to different customers, because each room has independentcontrol of its air conditioning.

    Thanks to inverter technology, as many as 40 indoor units withdifferent types and capacities can be installed in one system. Thissystem automatically and effectively controls each unit to provideindividual rooms of different sizes with a comfortable working or

    living environment.

    Year round cooling and/or heating

    Designed to provide simultaneous year round cooling and/orheating, VRV II heat recovery systems are modular in conceptand are therefore, ideal for use in rooms or zones that generatevarying thermal loads according to building orientation or localhot or cold spots.

    It is possible for the same meeting room to give rise to differing

    thermal loads depending on the time of day, number of occupantspresent, location and usage pattern of lighting and electronicoffice equipment.

    Until the advent of the VRV, a complex 4-pipe fan coil was neededto meet this requirement. The VRV however, is easier to designand install and in its heat recovery format, can conserve energy intwo or more rooms at the same time.

    Efficient use of space

    The VRV II system allows you to use the available space moreefficiently. Instead of having to incorporate a machine room in toyour building plans, you can use this space for other purposes,such as a garage.

    Longest refrigerant piping run

    The ability to sustain refrigerant piping in lengths up to 150m(175m equivalent), allows systems to be designed with leveldifferences of 50m between indoor and outdoor units and 15mbetween individual indoor units. Thus, even with installations in15 storey buildings, all outdoor units can be located at rooftoplevel.

    Short planning and design time

    In conventional water systems, the size of the pipes and all auxiliaryequipment must be calculated in accordance with the water flow rate.However, using a Daikin VRV system, with innovative compressortechnology, time-consuming calculations are not necessary, offeringconsiderable reductions in design time.
