Daikin Applied has introduced the next generation of its self-contained HVAC system (Model SWP J-Vintage), a highly efficient unit which uses R-32 refrigerant.
Designed to meet the unique demands of floor-by-floor applications, the SWP J-Vintage offers a range of features and benefits to help customers reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining superior performance and low costs.
"The evolution of our self-contained system underscores Daikin Applied's leadership in the industry's transition to more sustainable HVAC solutions," according to Jim Macosko, vice president of product and sustainability solutions at Daikin Applied.
“The SWP J-Vintage sets a new standard for self-contained units, offering unparalleled efficiency and flexibility and solves critical installation and maintenance issues for building owners and facility managers."
As customers look to decarbonise, the self-contained system is the first available with R-32, boasting greater efficiency and a low charge limit, ensuring safety in case of leakage.
The unit offers a seamless transition for existing users of Daikin Applied's self-contained systems, featuring familiar flexible MicroTech controls and also incorporates a standardised ECM fan array for redundant operation, enhancing overall efficiency.
The SWP J-Vintage features a modular design that enhances its versatility and ease of installation, particularly beneficial in retrofit applications.
The design allows for disassembly for easy transportation through standard 34-inch doorframes.
The modular approach also supports efficient assembly on-site, optimizing space utilisation and accommodating narrow hallways typical in commercial applications.
By offering this flexibility, Daikin ensures that the system can seamlessly integrate into diverse building infrastructures, providing tailored HVAC solutions with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
The self-contained unit meets the needs of two major vertical markets: residential high-rise buildings and mid-rise office-style buildings.
With floor-by-floor usage capability allowing for 1-2 units per floor, the unit provides a distinct benefit for property managers and building owners looking to streamline installation and operation while maintaining high efficiency.
