New Delhi: 11 April, 2014: Daikin Air-conditioning India Pvt. Ltd., a 100% subsidiary of Daikin Industries Ltd., Japan – the world’s No. 1 air-conditioning company launched a variety of Inverter split air conditioning units powered by next generation refrigerant HFC32 manufactured at Neemrana, Rajasthan. As global leaders in air-conditioning, Daikin took this pioneering step to mitigate the environmental impact from refrigerants, with the adoption of HFC32.
Daikin products, using HFC32 based products bear only one-third of the global warming potential (GWP) when compared with R410A & R22 refrigerants. Daikin considers that HFC32 is very suitable for split air conditioners and heat pumps and is an excellent alternative to replace R410A in terms of performance. In addition to having a lower global warming impact, HFC32 can help curtail greenhouse gas emissions originating from energy sources when equipment is in use by its better energy efficiency. Furthermore, it is also a refrigerant that reduces the amount of refrigerant needed per air conditioning unit, has the advantage of enabling components such as heat exchangers, to be made compact, and is suitable for refrigerant recycling.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Kanwal Jeet Jawa, Managing Director, Daikin Airconditioning India Pvt. Ltd. said, “As responsible HVAC global leaders, we are aware that rampant usage of refrigerants has so far contributed to extreme weather patterns causing destruction of crops & property, massive flooding followed by draughts, etc., so HFC32 is the only solution to protect our future. I am foreseeing a rise in ACs to 30 million by 2030 from 5 million today, pushing a 100 fold rise in demand for electricity.” He further added,’ HFC32 based energy friendly AC’s are finding a huge acceptance amongst consumers & we are in the process of increasing our product range for our discerning customers during 2014.
According to UNEP Technology and Economic Assessment Panel, HFC-32 is not only considered as an alternative to HCFC-22, but also as an alternative to R-410A. As per International Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Conference, Purdue, on the basis of efficiency and cost, HFC32 offers an attractive Low-GWP/Low-LCCP solution for mainstream A/C and H/P applications with performance comparable to R410A.
The new range of Inverter split air conditioners from Daikin offer a host of features that aid in creating an ambient cooling environment for a comfortable experience. The new Inverter range also boasts of new designs matching the Indian aesthetics in addition to a giving an unparallel performance. This new range of Inverter split ACs are available at a starting price point of Rs. 35,400/- onwards
The company intends to provide technical information for the widespread use of HFC32 to meet the demands of each region across India as much as possible. Daikin will continue to contribute to the prevention of global warming in the future by promoting the widespread use of the refrigerant. With a view to the same, Daikin India has aggressive plans to expand its National Dealership Network to 2500 from the current number of 1800 plus and develop 100 new Daikin Exclusive Solution Plazas across the country in the coming months.
