The Daikin FDYAN160AV1 / RZA160C2V1 is a high-capacity reverse cycle ducted system designed for large homes, multi-storey properties, and open-plan living spaces. With inverter technology, a compact indoor profile, and quiet operation, it delivers discreet year-round comfort while remaining hidden within the ceiling space.
With 15.5kW cooling and 18.0kW heating capacity, this model is ideal for larger homes, open-plan areas, and multi-room properties around 90–140m² depending on insulation and layout. The inverter compressor can modulate output from 7.3kW up to 16.3kW in cooling mode and from 7.3kW up to 18.2kW in heating mode, helping improve efficiency and maintain stable indoor temperatures.
Key Features & Benefits
Advanced Inverter Technology
Daikin’s inverter technology continuously adjusts compressor speed to maintain a more stable indoor temperature while reducing power consumption and operating noise compared to conventional fixed-speed systems. The system uses a hermetically sealed swing compressor for efficient and reliable performance.
Compact Indoor Unit Design
The indoor unit has a low-profile height of approximately 360mm, making it suitable for tighter roof spaces in modern homes. Indoor dimensions are approximately 360mm high, 1520mm wide, and 935mm deep, while the outdoor unit measures around 1430mm high, 940mm wide, and 320mm deep.
Strong Airflow Performance
The unit provides rated airflow of approximately 950 litres per second, with nominal airflow reaching up to 1120 litres per second. This helps deliver even conditioned air across multiple rooms and larger open-plan spaces. Indoor sound levels are approximately 47.9dBA in cooling mode and 50.7dBA in heating mode.
Night Quiet Mode
Daikin’s Night Quiet Mode reduces outdoor operating noise during sleeping hours and automatically resumes normal operation in the morning, helping minimise disturbance to occupants and neighbours.
Improved Energy Efficiency
The system delivers an EER of 3.13 and COP of 3.67, helping reduce running costs while maintaining strong heating and cooling performance. Residential TCSPF ratings reach approximately 4.05 in hot climates.
Long Pipe Run Capability
The system supports refrigerant pipe lengths up to 50 metres, making it suitable for larger homes and more complex ducted installations. Premium variants can support up to 75 metres in certain configurations.
Wide Operating Range
The system can operate in cooling mode from -5°C to 46°C outdoor temperature and in heating mode from -15°C to 16°C outdoor wet bulb temperature, making it suitable for year-round Australian conditions.
R22 Retrofit Capability
This model supports R22 retrofit applications, allowing existing pipework to often be reused when replacing older systems, helping reduce installation time and costs.
R32 Refrigerant
The system uses modern R32 refrigerant for improved efficiency and lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants.
Single-Phase Power Supply
This model operates on standard 220–240V single-phase power, making it suitable for most residential installations without requiring three-phase power.
Wired Controller Compatibility
The system is commonly paired with Daikin’s BRC1E63 wired wall controller, providing simple scheduling, temperature control, and system management.
5-Year Manufacturer Warranty
Daikin ducted systems are backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty for residential applications when professionally installed and maintained.
Ideal Applications
- Large homes
- Multi-storey properties
- Open-plan living areas
- 4–5 bedroom homes
