Advanced leak detection technology trough Daikin's remote monitoring (Daikin on Site) is based on a new software algorithm, unique to Daikin. The software activates an alarm in the event of a potential leakage and reports occurrences and frequency over time. This allows users to have a complete overview of the activity over twelve months, and then allows users to take action and set preventive measures if needed.

Why it's important to detect leaks early

The superior software algorithm can detect even slow gas leakages over an extended load range, starting at 33% of unit load. (Other solutions in the market start at 50%).

Detection of possible leaks at an early stage is essential. The ability to detect small leaks allows maintenance engineers to intervene promptly, when the issue is still easily manageable and unlikely to be a big issue.

Availability

The Refrigerant Leak Detection function within Daikin's remote monitoring (DoS) can be included as part of a maintenance contract. Upon receiving an alarm in the event of a possible leak detection, the fully qualified service engineer will assess the situation, either remotely or on site, and identify necessary action for each specific situation.

The best on the market

Daikin's new and advanced Refrigerant Leak Detection function sets new standards in the sector, and stands out for convenience and cost-effectiveness.

Monitoring through the existing cloud platform removes the need for additional refrigerant leakage detection sensors and local controllers, helping to offset initial system purchase costs. The machine learning technology incorporated in the Daikin on Site cloud services enables improved detection rates by 15% for leakages, greatly exceeding the possibilities offered by other solutions in the market.

Environmental benefits

The new Refrigerant Leak Detection Service is the latest in a series of improvements by Daikin, driven by continuous product development that is focused on innovation, performance and sustainability.

Faster leak detection and repair prevents the release of harmful refrigerant into the atmosphere, helping users to minimise their environmental impact.
