Safeguarding circuit boards during voltage fluctuations, protecting the condenser with corrosion-resistant technologies are methods to boost durability for Daikin air conditioners.
1. Technologies for Enhancing Durability of Daikin Air Conditioners
Protecting circuit boards during voltage fluctuations, safeguarding the condenser with corrosion-resistant technologies are methods to enhance the durability of Daikin air conditioners.
As a brand originating from a nation highly concerned about environmental issues like Japan, Daikin strives to manufacture durable, long-lasting air conditioning products to minimize household waste. With nearly a century of industry experience in air conditioning, Daikin representatives note ongoing technological advancements and design improvements to meet consumer quality expectations.
To prolong product lifespan, Daikin air conditioners implement various new technologies, including exclusive ones:
High/Low Voltage Shield technology for protecting circuit boards during voltage fluctuations
Voltage instability persists in many areas, posing a risk of rapid electronic device deterioration. Daikin's FTKM, FTKC, ATKC, FTKA, ATKA series feature high-durability electronic circuit boards capable of withstanding voltages up to 440V in single-phase current. This electronic circuit board eliminates the need for consumers to install additional voltage stabilizers. For FTKC, ATKC, FTKA, ATKA series, the units operate within a voltage range of 150V - 264V (130V - 264V for FTKM). If the voltage exceeds 264V or drops below 440V, the unit automatically shuts off. Once the voltage returns to normal operating levels, the air conditioner resumes operation as before. This technology ensures robust air conditioner operation, preventing damage from voltage fluctuations, especially in areas with unstable power grids.
FTKC is one of the products equipped with high-durability circuit board protection technology.
Protecting the condenser with corrosion-resistant technologies in the heat exchanger
The condenser, typically installed outdoors, is exposed to various weather conditions. The condenser also accounts for over 95% of the air conditioner's energy consumption. A well-functioning condenser extends the product's lifespan and conserves energy for users. To enhance product durability, Daikin's FTKC25/35, ATKC, FTKA, ATKA series install heat exchange fins made of copper and aluminum, treated with special anti-corrosion measures, dual-layer electrostatic coating, acrylic resin layer, and waterproof layer to improve resistance against acid rain and salt corrosion. Some models like FTKM, FTKC50/60/71 utilize MCHE (Microchannel Heat Exchanger) technology for the heat exchanger. With this technology, heat exchange tubes made of aluminum-zinc alloy increase heat transfer area and airflow, thereby enhancing heat exchange efficiency and durability.
Description of Daikin's Corrosion-Resistant Heat Exchanger
An experiment conducted by Daikin Thailand's Research and Development Center demonstrated that the MCHE heat exchanger endured 2,000 hours of salt spray without corrosion.
Swing Compressor, DC Motor with Resistance
The Swing compressor, an exclusive Daikin technology, features smooth rotational motion that significantly reduces friction and vibration. The Swing technology also minimizes refrigerant leakage during compression. These advantages contribute to quieter and more efficient compressor operation.
The Swing compressor with a DC motor with resistance leverages magnetism to enhance machine efficiency. By rapidly switching the poles of this powerful electromagnet, the DC motor can generate higher speeds and power.

Proper Usage
In addition to technological advancements by manufacturers, product durability also heavily relies on consumer usage, as durability starts with the user.
According to refrigeration engineer Hoang Tien Thanh, the lifespan of the unit depends on various factors such as installation, usage patterns, maintenance, etc. Consumers should choose air conditioners with suitable usage capacities, preferably opting for Inverter air conditioners to save energy and ensuring proper installation according to the manufacturer's recommendations. During usage, it's advisable to set appropriate temperatures and maintain proper machine cleanliness and maintenance to ensure both efficiency and longevity.
