7.8 kWDaikin FTXF 7.8kW Split System
The 7.8kW Daikin FTXF Split System (model FTXF80AVMA) is sized for open-plan living and dining areas. As a guide, it cools a room of up to about 56 to 65 m². That is from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' sizing chart for an insulated room: the larger figure if it faces north, the smaller if it faces east. Western sun, poor insulation and high ceilings bring it down. It is the largest capacity in the Daikin FTXF Split System range. For a smaller, well-insulated room the 7.1kW will do the job for less power draw.
Part of the Daikin FTXF Split System range, Daikin's split system line, in 8 sizes. Running costs below use the Sydney median rate; the Eastern Suburbs and Western Sydney pages cost systems on their own network tariffs. Check the size against your rooms, compare it with other 7.8 kW options, or ask about supply and installation.
About $655 a year at the current Sydney median electricity rate: $232 of cooling plus $423 of heating, from the official GEMS test figures.
The Daikin FTXF 7.8kW uses 700 kWh per year for cooling and 1278 kWh per year for heating according to GEMS test data for Sydney's climate zone. These figures represent standard test values under defined conditions and will vary with actual usage patterns, thermostat settings and how often the system runs.
The unit carries a 3-star energy rating for cooling and 2-star rating for heating under the zoned energy label for Sydney. It has a rated cooling efficiency (AEER) of 3.26 and heating efficiency (ACOP) of 3.73. The system uses R32 refrigerant.
