Focuses on energy efficiency and improvement of indoor environmental quality

Daikin McQuay Middle East FZE officially launched its new line of split systems on March 20 at the InterContinental Hotel, Dubai Festival City. Ahmed M Eldessouki, Senior Sales Engineer, Daikin McQuay Middle East FZE, in his presentation of the new product line, focused on the features and benefits of the high-tier, wall-mounted split unit.

He informed that the system was available in both R22 and R410A models and that it was particularly optimised to operate in ambient temperatures of as high a 54°C. He added that the new split unit could attain a rating of up to five stars, following the standards of the Emirates Authority for Standardisation and Metrology (ESMA). Below are other features of the system that Eldessouki highlighted in his presentation:

• High efficiency at full load and very high efficiency at partial load
• Start-up booster cooling function that provides faster cooling on start-up
• Turbo mode function that increases the airflow of the system for quick cooling
• Quiet mode for operation as quiet as 34dBA
• Sleep mode function for adjusting the set temperature for sleeping comfort
• Two filters – a saranet filter for elimination of dust, and a titanium apatite filter for the elimination of organic contaminants
• Auto random restart function for preventing power surges after an interruption

For the outdoor unit, Eldessouki pointed out that it had a wide operating range of up to 54°C and that it came with hydrophilic gold fin to increase the life span of the unit. He added that the outdoor unit could be installed on the roof, on the terrace or against an outside wall. His presentation also included a brief introduction on ceiling-mounted cassette units, ducted split units, and rooftop package units.
