Replacement Technology

Update your system to improve its energy efficiency, lower energy costs and prevent unplanned downtime for reliable year-round comfort.

Quick and quality replacements

To run your business seamlessly, it’s important to make sure your HVAC-R equipment is up to date. At the same time, you want to avoid expensive and disruptive renovations which would interrupt your business. Replacement technology ensures your system upgrade will comply to the latest regulations, incorporates the latest energy efficient and comfort technologies while it can be implemented fast and at lower costs thanks to the reuse of existing elements of your current installation.

1. Reuse drain pipes

Durable PVC pipes can be easily reused. Only flow tests are required.

2. Reuse refrigerant pipes

Pipes used for R-22 / R-407C will work with VRV-Q, thanks to lower operating pressures of the system.

3. Reuse refrigerant branch pipes

There are no restrictions when upgrading from a Daikin VRV system. Other VRF systems require branch pipes to withstand pressure up to 3.3 MPa.

4. Reuse remote control wiring

Reuse wiring when upgrading from a Daikin VRV system. In other cases, this will depend on the cable type.

5. Reuse indoor-outdoor wiring

Reuse wiring when upgrading from a Daikin VRV system.
In other cases, this will depend on the cable type.

6. Indoor units

Optional replacement. Depending on the model type and condition of the indoor units.

7. Outdoor units

Need to be replaced.

Hoteles Santos

For a hotel complex changing the whole airconditioning system normally means a

massive loss of business over a longer period. This project proves that there is a costeffective

and time-saving solution that reduces running costs dramatically.
