Since the range of Daikin air conditioners is simply huge, it is often difficult for the average consumer to choose. It is for this reason that this information article was developed, which will make it possible to parse information about the main advantages of Daikin products, as well as the advisability of installing a particular system in a particular room.
Wall multi split systems
Wall-mounted household air conditioning of this brand is mainly mounted in apartments, wine cellars, offices or small shops up to 70 m2 (FTXS71G / RXS71F). It consists of 2 blocks:
- Indoor with adapter for indoor installation.
- Outdoor for mounting on the street to a wall or facade.
The distance between the above blocks can reach 30m, which allows you to place the indoor unit anywhere in the apartment, office or private home.
Daikin air conditioners work thanks to the safe freon R 410A, which allows the system to function effectively when heating a room at an outdoor temperature of -150WITH.
The most popular brands of wall-mounted air conditioners for Daikin rooms are EMURA and the designer URURU SARARA, the last of which were presented to the public on October 1, 2016, and they became available to the public on November 1, 2016.
Competitive advantages of climatic split systems of wall execution
- High energy class A +++ when working in ECONO mode.
- If there are no people in the room for 20 minutes, thanks to the built-in electric motion sensor (FTXG-LW), the system goes into standby mode while reducing power consumption by 80%.
- The presence of the “Online controller” function that allows you to turn on the heating, start the air humidifier or perform system checks using the Internet or a special application running the program for Android.
- Thanks to the presence sensor, the intelligent air conditioning system redirects the air mass in the opposite direction from the location of people.
- Mixture of fresh air in chilled (FTXR28E / RXR28E).
- The Daikin EMURA air conditioning base kit includes a deodorizing titanium apatite filter that completely purifies the air of dust, chemicals, viruses and bacteria.
For example, consider the main characteristics and differences between the most popular models of Daikin air conditioners.
