Daikin updates FAA-B wall-mount

BELGIUM: Daikin Europe has released an updated version of its FAA-B wall-mounted indoor unit, designed for use with the company’s full line-up of Sky Air A-series R32 heat pumps.

The new unit is said to give installers and designers optimum flexibility in design and location when connected to the Sky Air Alpha-series outdoor unit. The combination offers long piping lengths up to 85m and a wide operating range down to -20°C. 

An optional sound enclosure can reduce outdoor sound power by up to -10dB(A), allowing the combination to be installed in any location, even city centres and mixed urban areas subject to strict noise regulation. 

The new model is available from early 2022 onwards.
