With many years of air-to-water heat pump experience and
over 150,000 units installed throughout Europe, we continuously strive
to optimise Daikin Altherma’s performance. This is achieved by
a constant focus on limiting electrical inputs during each
new product-development-process, resulting in further reducing
the running costs.

Daikin Altherma low temperature uses a range of efficient compressors, limiting electrical compressor inputs to its maximum.
This results in optimal efficiencies at several rated conditions, providing excellent ratings, complying
with incentive and certification schemes (e.g. EPBD regulations) throughout Europe.
The seasonal efficiency (also called SCOP) of a heat pump is the average efficiency over a whole year, taking into account
specific climatic conditions and house specifications (heat load, required water temperatures, etc. ). This means the SCOP
value can be seen as the real operating efficiency of a heat pump system, taking into account all the required inputs and
specific application conditions.
Daikin Altherma low temperature maintains its high heating capacities down to low outdoor temperatures.
The electrical back-up heater assistance is no longer required or only very limited.
These high heating capacities, available on the whole Daikin Altherma low temperature 4kW-16kW range, are achieved
thanks to the combination of:
• Optimised controls to achieve higher frequency of use at low outdoor temperatures
• Liquid injection to avoid too high discharge temperatures when high water temperatures are required
at low outdoor temperatures
• Perfectly dimensioned plate heat exchangers to maximise the heat exchange surface

When the heat load is lower than the maximum capacity of the heat pump system, the compressor can turn in partial load
operation. This reduced compressor frequency results in:
• Higher compressor efficiency in partial load operation
• Delivered capacities exactly matching the actual heating demand of the building
• Obtaining the capacities needed with minimum energy consumption
• Less on/off operation, increasing the operation life cycle of the compressor
The new Daikin Altherma low temperature has a high modulating range, meaning the compressor can modulate down to
low frequencies to offer the highest efficiencies over the relevant temperature range.
Each inverter compressor has a certain maximum and minimum frequency, and works in between the optimal operation
area with the highest operating efficiencies. This is illustrated by the graph bellow.

The combined effect of the Daikin Altherma weather-dependent set-point control and the Daikin Altherma inverter
compressors maximises the efficiency at each outdoor temperature, assuring stable
room temperatures.
1 Weather-dependent set-point control: Daikin Altherma maximises efficiency at every outdoor temperature through its
weather-dependent set-point control. This control logic will always keep the water temperatures as low as possible, to
maximise the heat pump efficiency for each specific outdoor temperature. This results in:
• Higher heat pump efficiency with lower water temperatures
• No unnecessary overheating, thereby delivering the temperatures required
• Continuous heating at lower water temperatures, providing stable room temperatures
2 Inverter technology: lowering the compressor frequency with increasing outdoor temperatures, thus increasing
the efficiency
The example shown is for a typical application using under-floor heating: 1

temperature of -10°C (1) T set-point

temperature of 16°C (2)
• For temperatures between -10°C and 16°C, the Daikin Altherma unit 2

calculates the required water temperature, to guarantee maximum
In addition to limiting the electrical input of the compressor and the electrical back-up heater, Daikin pays special attention
to limiting electrical inputs of auxiliary components. This also contributes to the high seasonal efficiencies achieved by
the Daikin Altherma range.
• Factory-mounted high efficiency circulating pump already qualifying for future regulations (ErP2015) with an A-energy
label (EEI ≤ 0.23)
• No standby losses of inverter drive PCB, lowering electricity consumption during standby mode
• No bottom plate heater needed on 4-8kW class
• Low-capacity bottom plate heater on 11-16kW class (ERLQ-C series), only operating during defrost cycles, results in 90%
less electricity consumption when compared with standard thermostatic controlled bottom plate heaters.

The new Daikin Altherma low temperature is designed to meet the requirements of newly built and low-energy houses
characterised by low heat loads.
The low capacity 4kW unit with its high modulating range offers optimal efficiency in most relevant outdoor temperature
ranges by combining compressors and plate heat exchangers that have been specificaly designed for smaller heat loads.
With the new 4kW unit, Daikin Altherma low temperature offers a full product line-up with a specifically dimensioned heat
pump system (compressor, modulating range, plate heat exchanger, …) to deliver the required capacities
for the house, with the best possible efficiencies.
The new Daikin Altherma 4kW unit is developed and dimensioned to reach optimal efficiencies at the most
relevant temperature range, thanks to its high modulating range.
Typical application: Low-energy houses have a lower space heating off temperature (12°C) than normal
insulated houses (16°C). This means that the most relevant outdoor temperature-

At the first start-up, a quick configuration wizard will guide the installer through the commissioning process.
Through a series of short questions, the set-up of basic parameters will automatically be completed. Fine-tuning these
parameters remains possible using the menu-based navigation. As a result of the quick configuration wizard,
only the parameter settings relevant to the installation will be shown in the menus. The irrelevant parameters will be hidden
and thus inaccessible.
The parameters can be downloaded to a PC as a back-up, or be duplicated to other similar installations. If preferred,
the parameter settings can also be prepared on beforehand and uploaded to the units during commissioning.
Before the actual test-run of the unit, an actuator test mode allows all the wired components to be activated
one by one. This allows for a quick and easy check of all connections and wirings made to ensure a correct operation. An
automatic screed-drying function can be activated to proceed through a gradual heat-up of an Under-
floor heating system to avoid cracks in the floor during the first heat-up. Individual and easy-to-programme schedule
timers for heating, cooling, domestic hot water operation and recirculation noise-sensitive operation and electrical
booster heater allow to adjust the operation of the unit to match the end-user’s typical daily schedule.
After the commissioning, access to the installer’s menu can be restricted (manually or automatically after one hour) to avoid
wrong manipulation of the unit by the end-user.

2. Easy serviceability
Information On/Off
The user interface itself is equipped with a temperature sensor and can be installed remotely from the Daikin Altherma low
temperature indoor unit.
• Installed on the unit, it will allow quick and easy access to the unit’s operating information and settings.
• Installed remotely (e.g. in a living room) it will also act as a room thermostat with more advanced features than
a standard room thermostat, resulting in more stable room temperatures, increased efficiency
and operation life cycle. A second optional interface can still be installed on the unit for service purposes.
In the detailed display mode, the large graphical display of the user interface displays the actual room temperature
and the operation mode of the unit. Depending on the end-user’s preference, a simplified basic display is available that
shows just the actual room temperature and only allows the room temperature set-point to be changed.
User settings can be accessed through an intuitive and self-explanatory menu. This menu will also give
access to additional information such as the energy consumption and heat production of the
system, split up between heating, cooling and domestic hot water operation, enabling close monitoring of the unit’s
efficient operation.
