Daikin’s Atmosphera is a Powerful, Eco-friendly Mini-Split.

Daikin, a respected HVAC company that has been in the business for one hundred years, has released the Atmosphera, a mini split aimed at perfecting the air in your living environment. It has a number of features that other mini splits do not offer, and is a great choice for your home or office. Using state-of-the-art technology, the Atmosphera filters air, creating the ideal eco-system for your living space. The quiet Atmosphera unit is an effective, energy-efficient unit to heat and cool inside.

The smart inverter technology equipped in the Daikin Atmosphera is a variable-speed compressor that delivers the necessary capacity to heat and cool your building while reducing energy usage up to thirty percent or more when compared to traditional fixed-speed ducted systems. This technology maximizes your comfort while minimizing fluctuations in temperature. It is an energy efficient unit all year round, whether in extreme cold or on oppressively hot days. It's designed to be a durable machine, able endure the elements and it comes with a twelve year parts limited warranty.

The Atmosphera is ideal for both commercial and residential spaces. It's effective at offsetting inefficient and old boiler systems, outdoor units, and furnaces. It has up to 100% rated cooling capacity at 115 degrees Fahrenheit and 100% heating capacity at five degrees Fahrenheit. It can operate continuously at temperatures as low as negative 13 degrees Fahrenheit.

With this machine Daikin had goals at keeping this system sustainable and more eco-friendly, while simultaneously remaining efficient in harsh weather conditions. It is easy to clean, reuse and recycle. Emissions are reduced as it uses R-32 refrigerant which is more eco-friendly compared to conventional refrigerants. The Atmosphera has up to a 41% less factory refrigerant charge compared to Daikin LV series R-410A systems. With its decarbonization and electrification technology, this unit utilizes cleaner energy, able to heat comfortably while reducing the usage of fossil fuels when compared to older, more inefficient sources of heat. The R-32 refrigerant used in the Atmosphera is the only pure, single component refrigerant on the market to replace high GWP refrigerant. R-32 can be topped off or cleaned and reused on site, which is something you cannot do with blended refrigerants. Emissions can be up to 80 percent less with this refrigerant than similar R-410A systems. This is an excellent alternative to the old way that is able to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The hybrid cooling feature on the Atmosphera reduces humidity on hot days without making your space overly cool. It runs cleanly by drying up the interior of the indoor unit while reducing the condensation. This prevents condensation from building up on the inside of the unit, a common problem with mini splits that can cause an unpleasant odor. When the COOL or DRY operation is performed, condensation can build up in the machine, but one only needs to set the unit to the CLEAN operation to dry the inside of the air conditioner. Instead of blowing air directly out towards you, the Atmosphera directs the air upward to cool the room and downward when heating to drive heat to the bottom of the room. This technology is called 3-D airflow, and the vertical and horizontal auto-swing combines to circulate cool/warm air to the corners of large spaces.

The Atmosphera has a hot start feature which reduces cold drafts when the unit is first being powered on in heat mode. The Atmosphera also has a Powerful Operation Mode which boosts your heating or cooling power for twenty minutes, even when the unit is already running at high capacity..

The Atmosphera has done well during testing for efficiency standards, and has a high COP rating, meaning that the system provides more heating energy that energy consumed, resulting in a more cost-effective, efficient mini split unit. The Atmosphera has an econo mode which causes the unit to run efficiently on approximately 30 percent less electricity. This not only saves energy, but reduces the load on the electrical circuit, which can be helpful especially when other devices are being used simultaneously.

Daikin has been improving their units, and this mini split has an increased piping allowance and factory charge compared to previous models.

The maintenance on the device has been simplified, as the indoor unit has been redesigned so that the drain pan may be easily removed.

One of the neat new features for Daikin's newest models is that there is a Daikin Comfort Control app which allows you to control your mini split via the internet, so even if you are a few states over or in another country you can control your mini split. This is especially useful because if you forgot to turn off your unit, you can do so remotely. This helps reduce the amount of wasted energy that you may be billed for. The unit has another technological feature called "Intelligent Eye." With a built-in infrared sensor, the unit is able to detect movement in the room. If the room is empty for twenty minutes, the set point is changed on the unit to start saving energy.

The Atmosphera is a more efficient unit, up to 18 percent more efficient when compared to the R-410A Daikin LV series. It's equipped with more thermal capacity, up to 21% higher cooling capacity when compared to the R410A Daikin LV series and R-410A Daikin Aurora units. With its design to draw less electricity, you can expect to see up to a thirty percent improvement in full load cooling and up to a 14 percent improvement in full load heating when compared to the R-410A Daikin LV series and Aurora systems.

The inverter on the Daikin Atmosphera is able to save you energy. It runs continuously, adjusting to the compressor's speed. This eliminates wasted operation, unnecessary heating and cooling, by controlling its motor speed efficiently. By consistently maintaining temperature, your space will not become too hot or too cold. The inverter can save up to 30 percent or more in energy!

If you're looking for a powerful, eco-friendly mini split that is able to save you money on your electric bill, the Daikin Atmosphera is a great choice.
