Inverter Compressor Technology Found on many high-efficiency Daikin condensers and heat pumps, inverters offer reduced energy consumption and lower running costs as compared to traditional compressors. Energy-Efficient Heat Exchangers Daikin s proprietary wrinkle-bend technology maintains constant wall thickness and increases the turbulence of the combusted gas inside the tubing which adds additional heat transfer properties. All-Aluminum Evaporator Coils Daikin brand coils are all-aluminum, built with thick-walled, grooved tubing for durability and efficient cooling performance. 5 mm Condenser Coils The 5 mm condenser coils found in many Daikin condensing units provides a high efficiency performance, uses less R410A refrigerant and does so in a smaller sized unit.

7 DAIKIN HAS A FOCUS AND TRACK RECORD OF QUALITY Daikin s global experience is a key driver that reinforces the brand s product quality, from design to manufacturing. Product quality is enhanced through two channels: people and process controls. Daikin employees receive continuous training to ensure that they have the best skills to build outstanding heating and cooling systems. For instance, Daikin employees receive enhanced brazing training, it s the process of welding the joints for many of our heating and cooling products. This training is supported through frequent testing around skills to keep pace with current technology. Beyond training, Daikin employees use some of the most advanced manufacturing tools and technology, many developed exclusively for Daikin brand products. Another aspect of quality control is the manufacturing processes deployed. With the Daikin brand, manufacturing process controls include component scanning, sub-assembly scanning, automated controls, and many stages of in-line testing to provide the best products possible.
