Here is how you can help
FAN COIL UNITS
› Make a sustainable choice by promoting units with Certified Reclaimed Refrigerant Allocation
› Raise the awareness and share your expertise to other stakeholders, to build a circular economy
AIR HANDLING UNITS
› Send your recovered gas from existing installation to reclaim. Your Daikin contact can support you
› Use our refrigerant recycling machine to reuse recovered refrigerant for field charge
