Daikin Launches Low Profile Mini VRV Solution Daikin extends its mini VRV range with the launch of the new VRV IV S-series compact S tanding at just under one metre high, including the installation feet, the VRV IV S-series compact has the lowest profile on the market. Suitable for both residential and com- mercial applications, its small footprint offers maximum flexibility for installers and designers, providing a discreet, go- anywhere solution that can be hidden behind low walls, hedges or concealed on balconies, successfully blending in with its surroundings to become virtually invisible; what every architect aspires to achieve in offering a flexible, out of sight solution. A low noise solution, the S-Series is perfect for urban or built-up areas, offering full compliance with building regulations and low sound impact. Outstanding Versatility The introduction of the new mini-VRV IV S-Series extends the capability of Daikin’s mini-VRV range, offering more choice for installers for all types of buildings than ever before. As well as the new, compact, single- phase 4, 5 and 6 HP units (12.1kW - 15.5kW), the standard range of 4-5-6 HP units (12.1kW, 14kW, 15.5kW) - available in either single and three phase - have also been updated from VRV III to VRV IV models. Furthermore, a new range of 8-10 -12 (22.4kW, 28kW, 33.5kW) three phase VRV IV S-series units have been added to meet the requirement for larger capacities. Longer piping lengths allow units to be positioned away from the building for complete discretion and convenience, while front blow units remove the need for ducting, saving on installation costs and allowing units to be fitted in tight spaces previously unsuitable for an outdoor unit. Up to nine indoor units can be connected to a single outdoor unit to meet the needs of larger buildings of up to 200m 2 . Uncompromising Performance Based on the market-leading VRV IV technology from Daikin, the new VRV IV S-series is small yet powerful and offering high seasonal energy efficiency. VRV IV’s unique Variable Refrigerant Temperature control automatically adapts to the unique requirements of the building and climate, significantly reducing seasonal operational cost by up to 28% compared with previous series. Easy to use centralised controls optimise energy efficiency and mean the system can be set precisely to suit individual needs, while providing the potential to monitor energy usage across a range of different properties. The VRV IV technology extends the capabilities of the system, allowing units to be connected to air handling units, air cur tains and residential indoor units to provide a complete air conditioning system. Designed with Installers in Mind In addition to the flexibility of its design, the compact size, lightweight and short profile of the new mini VRV IV S-Series makes it easy to move and install. Professional selection tools are available to assist installers in specification together with the backup of expert technical support from Daikin. Daikin VRV IV S-Series - Best in Class With the introduction of the new compact mini VRV IV, Daikin has achieved another first in technical innovation to offer installers the widest and most complete range of mini VRV solutions available.
