Daikin, a leading manufacturer of heating, cooling and refrigerant products, is looking to expand the sales of its  split range, FTKM/FTXM series, in the region.

The FTKM/FTXM series’ unique combination of R-32 and inverter technology enables end-users to benefit from class-leading energy efficiencies, with excellent cooling capacity and high indoor climate comfort, while lowering the environmental impact, said the company.

Announced in 2015, the series was the GCC’s first high ambient air-conditioning system to use R-32, an alternative refrigerant to R-22 with zero ozone depletion potential and lower global warming impact than R-410A refrigerant.

Daikin’s latest wall-mounted inverter split range leads the way in achieving up to 70 per cent energy reductions with an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 13.3 at T1 condition compared to the traditional split units, said the company.

It is the most energy-efficient air-conditioner of its type available in the GCC market, and the best solution for retrofit projects and Esco companies, said Daikin. The product has received multiple awards in acknowledgement of its superior environmental performance, including Product of the Year – Energy Management at the 2018 Mena Green Building Awards and Best HVAC Innovation at the RetrofitTech UAE Summit & Awards 2018, said Michel Farah, director of corporate environment and social responsibility, Daikin.

R-32 is a next-generation refrigerant that addresses environmental considerations and allows the Daikin inverter air-conditioner to maximise energy efficiency while minimising global warming impact and up to 80 per cent less carbon dioxide emission than R-410A, he added.
