Why Daikin AC?
State of the art manufacturing plant
Daikin manufacturing plant at Neemrana, Rajasthan is prepared for next level. It is spread over an area of 42,300 square meters and built with an investment of 10,299 mn. it aims To create air conditioning solutions for the people that will improve the quality of their life. It is supported by a chain of production bases throughout the globe. It is appointed with latest technology state of the art equipment and is capable of producing technologically advanced and modern air conditioning products within a given frame of time.
Components that make a difference
Swing compressor
Swing compressor Rotate smoothly and decreases friction and vibration. It also helps in preventing the leakage of refrigerant gas during compression. These benefits result IN quiet and efficient operation.
DC inverter
An air conditioner that is equipped with DC motor is known as DC inverter. DC motor generates higher efficiency than AC motor. DC motor utilizes the power of magnets to attract and repel to generate rotation. A DC motor that is loaded with power neodymium magnets offer even greater efficiency.
DC motor for fan
DC motor help in fine rotation control which decreases energy consumption. The motor also helps in improving operational efficiency to a great degree.
Neodymium magnet
This type of magnet is roughly 10 times stronger than standard pregnant. In Daikin compressor Use of neodymium magnet enhances their performance. It also increases air conditioner’s frequency range.
Pioneer in inverter Technology
An inverter type air conditioner can vary the speed of its compressor i.e. it can increase or decrease the speed of its compressor according to the load put on it by the surrounding condition. Unlike a fixed speed compressor, if less cooling is required it decrease its speed which results in huge power saving. Also if surrounding temperature is high and more cooling is required it can increase its speed resulting in more powerful and faster cooling. A 1.5-ton inverter air conditioner Can work from .3 to 1.7 ton based on the cooling load. This also results in more uniform temperature control as there are no shutdown of the compressor but just the change in capacity to maintain a more uniform temperature.
Dakin is the inventor of inverter technology in air conditioning. Daikin being The pioneer in inverted Technology produces superior inverter controlled air conditioners than any other brand.
The perfect refrigerant
Daikin has phased out all R22 models Instead it now uses environment-friendly and most efficient R32 refrigerant. This refrigerant will take care of our surrounding environment and will be the refrigerant of future. It has zero ozone depletion potential and only one-third of global warming potential compared to an R22 or R410a refrigerant.
It also has superior performance compared to R22 or R410a refrigerant. It has 15% more cooling compared to an R410a refrigerant. It also has better cooling at higher temperatures compared to the traditional refrigerants.
Superior service network
There are also some other premium air conditioner brands present in the market but in the end what makes the difference is Daikin ’s superior after sales and service network. Other bands which are technologically as advance as Daikin can not match it’s after sales and service network.
