Modernise without starting from scratch
When HVAC systems reach the end of their lifecycle, building owners need a solution that balances performance, installation complexity and business continuity. Replacement technology provides an efficient path to modernise existing installations by upgrading key system components while reusing existing infrastructure where possible. By combining modern HVAC technology with a smarter upgrade approach, replacement technology helps building owners improve building performance, maintain occupant comfort and prepare for future requirements.
A smarter way to modernise your HVAC system
How does Daikin replacement technology work?
KEEP
1. Refrigerant branch pipes
Existing branch piping may be retained where compatibility requirements are met.
2. Remote control wiring
Existing control wiring may be retained depending on the installation and cable type.
3. Indoor-outdoor wiring
Connections may be retained depending on system compatibility.
4. Drainpipes
Durable PVC pipes can be easily reused. Only flow tests are required.
REPLACE
A. Outdoor unit
Outdoor units are replaced as part of the system upgrade.
B. Indoor unit
Optional replacement. Depending on unit type, compatibility and condition, indoor unitsmay be retained or replaced.
TO EVALUATE
X. Controller (BRC1H52 or more recent can be kept)
Existing controllers should be evaluated for compatibility. Newer controller generations may be retained depending on the application.
