Introduction Who is Daikin ?


Daikin has more than 70 years experience in manufacturing advanced, high quality equipment air conditioning for residential, commercial and industrial applications.

The Japanese mother company Daikin Industries Ltd. is actively engaged in research into a wide spectrum of science and disciplines, from mechanics and electronics to chemicals and fluorocarbons.

Since its formation in 1972, Daikin Europe has evolved from a component assembly plant into the most advanced air conditioning manufacturing complex in Europe. All European standards regarding production, health and safety are met in full. The environment Daikins unique position as a manufacturer of both fluoro carbon refrigerants and air conditioning and refrigeration equipment has not surprisingly led to its close involvement in environmental issues. Once ozone depletion in the stratosphere became attributable to chloro fluoro carbon refrigerant chemicals (CFCs), Daikin took the decision to cease both their production and that of the products that use them. At the same time, Daikin joined leading world manufacturers in the research into safe and environmentally friendly alternatives. The Environment Protection Agency of the U.S.A afforded recognition of these efforts in June 2002 by presenting Daikin with its prestigious trophy for the protection of the environment. Daikin intends to become a leader in the provision of environmentally friendly products. This challenge demands the eco-design and development of a comprehensive product range and an energy management system that addresses energy conservation, reduction in waste and the control of hazardous substances etc.

The History of Systems


1987 The original VRV air conditioning system developed by Daikin in 1982 is introduced into Europe in Standard format. The system is able to supply conditioned air from up to 4 indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit. 1990 The end of the year sees the launch of the new Inverter system with the facility to operate up to 8 indoor units from a single outdoor unit. Inverter capacity control greatly increases system flexibility and efficiency. 1991 A further step forward is taken in 1991 with the introduction of the Heat Recovery system, offering simultaneous cooling and heating from different indoor units on the same refrigeration circuit. 1992 Continuous improvements to energy efficiency and system flexibility lead to the development of the advanced in which fresh air supply (HRV) and computerised management (DACMS) are integrated with the VRV. 1994 Consistent high quality and efficiency lead to the widespread acceptance of the VRV concept and Daikin becomes the first Japanese air conditioning manufacturer to be awarded the ISO9001 certification. But the search for improved flexibility and energy efficiency does not stop there. Unrivalled field experience and close regard for market requirements enables Daikin to apply yet another quantum leap to VRV technology - the Inverter-H series, operating up to 16 indoor units from just 1 outdoor unit ! 1998 In anticipation of phase out dates for all CFC based equipment, Daikin Europe steps up the production of VRV air conditioning units using ozone friendly refrigerant. Daikin Europe celebrates its 25th anniversary with the award of an ISO14001 environmental certificate and the introduction of Inverter K series with R-407C, in cooling only or heat pump format. As many as 16 indoor units can be connected to 1 single outdoor unit.

1999 The series using R-22 has been designed around leading edge technologies to accommodate high capacity air conditioning networks of up to 30 indoor units from a single refrigerant circuit. Another step forward has been taken with the launch of the heat recovery series using R-407C and connecting up to 16 indoor units to 1 single outdoor unit. 2000 Because of the growing needs of large-capacity systems Daikin Europe introduces the series using ozone friendly refrigerant, in heat pump format. Up to 32 indoor units can be connected to a single refrigerant circuit. 2001 The latest addition to the VRV Plus series is the heat recovery series using R-407C. Up to 32 indoor units can be connected to a single refrigerant circuit. 2002 Daikin launches the new series an environmental friendly, energy saving series with high COP levels and flexible design characteristics. 2003 Daikin Europe has achieved a quantum leap forward in commercial air conditioning technology by the introduction of its ,the worlds first R-410A operated variable refrigerant flow system. Available in cooling only, heat pump and heat recovery versions, the new system, which represents a considerable advance over earlier VRV systems, demonstrates Daikins innovative application of new technology and the latest HFC refrigerants to its VRV product programmes. Many new features and installation benefits are incorporated in . Its operating range for example 5HP, then 8HP to 48HP in 2HP increment steps (22 system combinations), is wider than any of its contemporaries. Furthermore, its ability to run no less than 40 indoor units in heat recovery as well as heat pump format cannot at present be matched by other comparable systems. 2004 The introduction of the series extends VRV operating scope into the residential, condominium and light commercial sectors. Available in 4, 5 and 6HP capacities, the system is designed for installation in up to 9 rooms.

i s ?

In recent years, design styles for intelligent buildings such as hotels, banks and offices etc. have increasingly featured large areas of glazing with attendant high solar heat gains that can only be dissipated by means of air conditioning. Not surprisingly therefore, air conditioning has grown in importance and is now widely accepted as an integral component of most modern architectural concepts. The increasing use of electronic office equipment raises thermal loadings still further to a point whereby, even in winter, internal temperatures can reach uncomfortable levels. The demand for cooling or heating can also vary considerably through-out the day depending on the number and occupation of personnel on the premises. But end users have come to expect far more than just cooling and heating from their air conditioning.

The ideal modern system must be energy efficient, easy to install, flexible, reliable and user friendly. Fresh air must be supplied without increasing energy consumption and the role of central management facilities should also be considered in this respect for medium to large sized buildings. The Daikin Hi-VRV system meets all these demands.

A. Creating Maximum Comfort
1 Inverter technology
The linear VRV system makes use of a variable Proportional Integral (PI) control system which uses refrigerant pressure sensors to give added control over inverter and ON/OFF control compressors in order to abbreviate control steps into smaller units to provide precise control in both small and larger areas. This in turn enables individual control of up to 40 indoor units of different capacity and type at a ratio of 50~130 % in comparison with outdoor units capacity. 5 HP outdoor units use inverter control compressors only.

2 Smart control brings comfort


An electronic expansion valve, using PID control, continuously adjusts the refrigerant volume in respond to load variations of the indoor units. The VRV system thus maintains comfortable room temperatures at a virtually constant level, without the temperature variations typical of conventional ON/OFF control systems.

B. Energy Efficient Solution


1 Low running costs
VRV systems have low running costs because it permits each zone to be controlled individually. That is, only those rooms that require air conditioning will be heated or cooled, while the system can be shut down completely in rooms where no air conditioning is required. VRV units have the highest COP/EER in the market in the most common operating area

2 Most advanced reluctance brushless


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

3 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 and temperature 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 conditioning system 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

4 Auto restart capability


Even after exceptionally long power failures, the built-in auto restart capability ensures automatic system start up. Since the preset memory is not erased by interruptions in power supply, no programme resetting is necessary.

5 Low operation sound level


Continuous research by Daikin into reducing operation sound levels has resulted in the development of a purpose designed inverter scroll compressor and fan. The new grille and fan offer low noise, high volume airflow and are housed in a compact casing together with the associated compressor components. The use of this new technology assembly enables a 16hp unit to be housed in a single casing.
