Daikin Saudi Arabia has launched the 4th generation of VRV for high ambient temperatures.

The launch event was attended by more than 300 key consultants, developers, distributors and industry professionals from across the Kingdom, and was held at several cities such as Madinah, Riyadh, Alkhobar and Jeddah.

VRV IV sets a new benchmark for efficiency as it features major enhancements to the already industry-leading VRV solution.

VRV IV offers three revolutionary innovations: Variable refrigerant temperature (VRT), refrigerant — cooled PCB, and the 4-sided large surface coil.

Stefaan Segers, consulting sales team leader at Daikin Saudi Arabia, said: "The new VRV IV is now fully adapted to the harsh environment of the Saudi market, the reliability is massively improved based on the refrigerant cooled PCB, the protection layers on the electronic boards, and the special PE coating on the coil.

Stefaan added: “On top, the unique variable refrigerant temperature (VRT) technology allows VRV IV heat pumps to respond to cooling requirements by continually monitoring the required capacity and weather conditions resulting in 28 percent less energy being consumed on annual basis. This means we are now already prepared for future regulation demands on seasonal efficiency showing our commitment toward the region."

The system has an option to integrate through Intelligent Network, a predictive and preventive maintenance. The system that operates by remotely monitoring the operation of the major components and detects any deviation from the norm as a potential future failure and hence sends a message to the service responsible to take care of the problem before it happens.

The VRV IV core technologies result from over 50 patents related to key components.
