Daikin is renowned for its pioneering approach to product development and the unrivalled quality and versatility of
its integrated solutions. From the efficiency of our compressors and inverter technology, to our latest advances in
refrigerants and product design for seasonal efficiency, Daikin is at the very forefront of energy efficiency and innova-
tion.

Daikin is manufacturing both air conditioning systems and refrigerants. By creating some of the most technologically
advanced systems ever introduced, Daikin is redefining the experience of comfort. This passion for precision means
that every Daikin system delivers maximum performance and the ultimate in comfort. Since the invention of Variable
Refrigerant Volume (VRV) in 1982, Daikin has constantly demonstrated its technological leadership with outstanding
production capabilities, top-of-the-line product features, and superior product support.

Daikin is committed to delivering air-conditioning solutions that enhance the quality of life all around the world
through application of advanced technology. A comprehensive range of air-conditioners with inverter technology
that provide comfort throughout the year is a testament to that. Our technology is not only shaped by the vision of an
unheralded future but our designs are also carved to optimize form and function. In all this, the ability to think and act
for the environment continuously sets us apart. Use of R-32, the Daikin preferred next generation refrigerant, in our
product line-up is one such effort.

By launching the first high ambient inverter split using the low GWP* and Zero ODP** refrigerant R-32, combining all
the most advanced technologies, Daikin offers an ultimate cooling comfort experience while saving energy and reduc-
ing considerably the carbon footprint. This new unit, which has been redesigned for optimum nominal and seasonal
energy efficiency, in line with Middle East real life operation conditions and ahead of the latest most stringent legisla-
tions of the region, shows the serious Daikin commitment to the environment.

Breakthrough

Why do you need

Inverter in the
Middle East?
The amount of cooling (heating) required by an air
conditioner depends on the outside temperature
and the heat inside the room to be treated.
Cooling (heating) requirements vary because
outside temperatures can vary all the year long
but also during the course of one day. You need a
smart system which is able to constantly adjust
delivered capacity to meet your specific require-
ments. Only an inverter can do that.

In most GCC countries, 75% of the time, temperatures are below 40°C. At these
temperatures, your A/C system needs to operate at partial load. Inverter is optimized
at partial operation while Non Inverter at full operation.
Benefit of Inverter technology can be fully used to optimize seasonal efficiency, in line
with real life operation conditions.

Why R-32?
The international community signed the Montreal Protocol to phase out ozone depleting substances to nearly zero in
2030, including the R-22 refrigerant used for A/C equipment. Although a limited amount (2.5 %) of ozone depleting
refrigerants will remain available between 2030 and 2040 for servicing existing A/C and refrigeration equipment, it will
not be sufficient to serve the existing market, unless conversion to alternative refrigerants in new equipment is imple-
mented soon. The Montreal Protocol also includes drastic reduction steps between 2015 and 2030 for all HCFCs. For
these reasons some GCC countries already started to implement bans on new R-22 A/C equipment, and it is expected
that other countries will follow soon.

When will R-22 be banned in the Middle East?

Which refrigerant to use?

Refrigerant choice is a key factor in the drive to maximize energy efficiency and to minimize the global warming impact.
When choosing the refrigerant to be used, the entire Climate Impact of the unit must be considered. This is based on:
› the direct impact of refrigerant emissions on global warming: R-32 has 3 times lower Global Warming Potential
(GWP) compared to R-410A

› the indirect impact of the energy consumption over the lifetime of the product: R-32 can achieve higher
efficiency levels in part load and full load conditions

› the natural resource efficiency: R-32 is a single component refrigerant, which makes it easy to recycle

As part of its commitment to the environment, Daikin

aims to develop systems that have a lower environmen-

tal impact. For all these reasons, Daikin has decided that In Japan, Daikin introduced
R-32 is its preferred next generation refrigerant for small residential A/C using R-32 at
capacity air conditioners and has started to phase-in the end of 2012. Since then
this refrigerant. over 3.4 million units have
been sold.
