Creating a circular economy for refrigerants
Daikin will contribute to the development of a circular economy for the HVAC-R industry. We aim to design out waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use and regenerate natural systems. This is part of our wider commitment to provide safe and healthy air environments while striving to reduce our direct and indirect CO2 emissions.
We will do this by:
Increasing refrigerant reuse
Achieving a circular economy of refrigerants thanks to the use of Certified Reclaimed Refrigerant and promotion of refrigerant reuse in the market.
Increasing seasonal efficiency of our products
Achieving sustainability over the entire lifecyle of an installation, thanks to market leading efficiencies through inverter, Variable Refrigerant Temperature and heat recovery technologies.
The development and use of lower GWP refrigerants
Reduced CO2eq thanks to the use of lower GWP refrigerants such as R-32, R-407H, R-1234ze(E).
Reducing the refrigerant charge in new equipment
More efficient refrigerants such as R-32 and microchannel technology reduce the refrigerant charge.
Reusing refrigerant: L∞P by Daikin
Reusing refrigerant, avoiding more than 150,000 kg of virgin gas being produced each year.
L ∞P by Daikin: reusing certified reclaimed refrigerant
External Certified Quality
Reclaimed refrigerant meets AHRI700 certified standards, assessed by an independent laboratory, and so is the same quality as virgin refrigerant.
Reclaimed and reused within Europe
Reclaimed means the refrigerant is regenerated in a high quality way, in line with the F-gas regulation definition.
Reclaiming R-410A is just the start
With a huge potential of R-410A available in existing installations we invite you to join our mission in creating this circular economy. Today for R-410A and for other refrigerants in future.
Certified Allocated Quantity
Virgin and reclaimed refrigerant are used in the Daikin Europe factory. Through an audit process we ensure the reclaimed refrigerant is administratively allocated to the VRV IV+ and Mini VRV factory charge.
L∞P by Daikin: The principle
- A mix of reclaimed and virgin refrigerant is used at our factory
- All units are charged with this mix of reclaimed and virgin refrigerant
- Audit and external certification
- The reclaimed refrigerant is 100% administratively allocated to the VRV IV+ Heat Recovery and VRV IV S-series
Action goes greener with Daikin Refrigerant Reclaim Programme
Action intensifies its partnership with Daikin for this new ground breaking project: reclaiming refrigerant from its refurbished stores and reusing it.
