First NAN Arquitectura y Construcción Awards held in Madrid
At Spain’s first NAN Arquitectura y Construcción Awards, held on 28 November 2007 in Madrid, Daikin’s UX split series was judged the best product in the climate control category. More than 200 companies with 350 different products competed.
Awards were presented in 11 different categories covering all aspects of architecture and construction. The jury was led by the President of the Higher Council of Spanish Colleges of Architects, and included representatives from Spain’s six largest building corporations. Daikin AC Spain S.A. was on hand to receive the award.
Quiet, efficient total room comfort
The UX uniquely combines the latest in Daikin technology with discrete yet stylish ultra-compact design. It is a split type heat pump using R-410A refrigerant with a remarkably thin, wall mounted indoor unit.
Inverter control reduces start-up times by a third and power consumption by 30% compared to non-inverter systems, while increasing comfort. A silent operation mode reduces indoor sound levels to 22 dB(A) (the level of rustling leaves) and outdoor levels to 43 dB(A) (quieter than a library). The addition of a Titanium Apatite Photocatalytic Air-Purifying Filter makes the series a true total room comfort solution.
Discrete thin design, draft-free operation 
The discrete indoor unit is 25% thinner due to a dynamic slide opening system, a high efficiency heat exchanger and innovative small diameter fan. Automatically adjusting vertical and horizontal flaps ensure that cool or warm air is circulated throughout the room. In Comfort Mode, the automatic air outlet also ensures draft-free operation in summer and winter: hot air is blown downward toward the feet; cool air is directed overhead where it gently settles throughout the room.
The UX also benefits from an advanced user-friendly control system that can sense the absence of movement in the room and increase or decrease the temperature depending on the operation mode, place both the indoor and outdoor unit in quiet mode, automatically adjust fan speed to room demand, and perform many other programmable features for increased efficiency and comfort. The UX is currently available in 2.5 and 3.5 kW split models, and a 5 kW multi split.
