1A / Outdoor Unit: an efficient use of energy from the air
Daikin Altherma uses a natural source of energy. The outdoor unit extracts heat from the outside air and transfers it inside through refrigerant piping to supply heating. The compact outdoor unit is easily installed and, as no drilling or excavation work is required, it can also be installed in condos and apartments. The monobloc outdoor unit version combines both the condensing unit and the hydrobox, simplifying installation while retaining all the benefits of the original design. Since the entire refrigeration circuit is contained in the outdoor unit, no refrigerant piping needs to be installed and special handling of refrigerant circuits is no longer required. As a result, Daikin Altherma Monobloc Type can be installed by any Daikin trained heating specialist. Installation time is also reduced, resulting in lower installation costs across the board.

2 / Domestic Hot Water Tank: for low energy consumption
As for your domestic hot water, Daikin Altherma is just as clever. The unique lay-out and special placement of the system components maximize energy efficiency. The water inside the storage tank is primarily warmed up by thermal energy from the outside air, thanks to a heat exchanger connected to the heat pump. However, an additional electrical heating element in the domestic water tank can take care of extra heat required in the shower, tub or sink. At necessary intervals the water is automatically heated to 158°F or more to prevent the risk of bacteria growth. With Daikin Altherma, delightfully warm and perfectly safe water can be enjoyed at all times. Depending on the daily consumption of hot water, Daikin Altherma domestic hot water tanks are available in two different sizes.

4 / Solar kit
The hydrobox heats the water that circulates through low temperature radiators, floor heating systems or fan coil units and also provides domestic hot water. If you opt for the combination of heating and cooling, then the hydrobox can also reverse the cycle to provide lower water temperatures and thus cooling to the home.


The Room Thermostat Room Thermostat

The large LCD screen on the room thermostat indicates all the necessary information regarding the setting of the Daikin Altherma system in a blink of an eye. The user can also easily navigate between the different menus whose most common functions and modes include:

  • Setting the temperature of the room based on measurements from the built-in sensor
  • Cooling and heating mode
  • Off function (with integrated frost protection function)
  • Vacation function mode
  • Comfort and reduced function modes
  • Time (day and month)
  • Programmable weekly timer with 2 standard and 5 pre-set programs
  • Keylock function
  • Setting limits. The installer can change the upper and lower limits

Freeze protection of hydronic parts
In order to protect the water pipes from freezing up during winter, insulation is provided for all hydronic components and special software has been applied to activate the pump and back-up heater if necessary. This prevents the water temperature from dropping below freezing point and can minimize the need for the addition of glycol to the water pipes.
Built-in electric back-up heater
for additional heating during extremely cold outdoor temperatures. The Daikin Altherma Monobloc is standard equipped with a 6 kW back-up heater, which can be adjusted to 3 kW. If necessary, an “in line” back-up heater of 6 kW can be mounted indoors (also adjustable to 3 kW or 3.5 kW).
