CONTENTS FIRST IN INNOVATION AND QUALITY
Bringing comfort and industrial solutions to homes
and businesses while respecting the increased
concern for the environment, demands the highest
levels of innovation and quality. To our credit belong
industry revolutions such as VRV® and inverter control,
technologies that continue to translate themselves
into new levels of efficiency and comfort. We are also
the only equipment manufacturer in the industry to
be involved in developing better refrigerants that are
safer for our environment.
WORLDWIDE PRESENCE
Having the best technology attracts the best
distributors and dealers. Thus in addition to a
guaranteed technical edge, we can count on a highly
developed sales network. We continually nourish our
relationships with distributors and dealers, which
sometimes results in acquisitions as affiliates, but
always in a win-win partnership.
FOUR PILLARS OF GROWTH
Total comfort and service to home and industry
demands a complete product range. We are committed
to the continuing development of the four pillars of our
offerings: heating, air conditioning, applied systems
and refrigeration. All of our offerings in these areas
benefit from the same technological excellence and
attention to quality that have marked Daikin products
from the beginning.

EXPANDED PRODUCT RANGE
Daikin completed the acquisition of OYL Industries Bhd.,
a world player in the HVAC-R market with major brands
such as McQuay, AAF International and J&E Hall.
In addition to strengthening and expanding our product
range in areas such as refrigeration and ventilation,
and allowing us to offer a complete line of applied
solutions, this takeover gives us increased presence
in important world markets.
A FUTURE WITH A PAST
We at Daikin Europe N.V. are proud to have been a
part of major developments that have revolutionised
the industry and continue to determine the course of
progress. Daikin is able to look back on a history of
innovation: from the first packaged air conditioners
and heat pumps in the 1950s, to the first multi-split
systems in the 1960s, to the introduction of VRV® in
1982 and its continued development since. We have
also been at the forefront of ultra-efficient inverter
technology as well as the development of safer
refrigerants. Using our core technologies as basis,
we are able to produce innovative and energy-saving
solutions for a range of markets and applications.
Our latest innovation, AlthermaTM, represents a real
breakthrough in the heating market, and puts us on
the world map of energy-efficient heat pump based
heating systems.
This indisputably rich culture of innovation together
with a worldwide organisation second to none, give
credence to our ambition to being number one in the
world in total comfort solutions.

…ON THE BACK OF
TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
Developed by Daikin Europe N.V. specifically for the
European market, AlthermaTM places our long history
of 50 years of experience perfecting heat pump
technology at the forefront of the search for more
efficient and more environmentally conscious home
heating. It is quite simply the most energy efficient
home heating solution on the market today.
Conveni-pack is another unique product that integrates
many Daikin technologies such as VRV®, inverter
control and heat recovery into a total heating, cooling
and refrigeration solution for convenience stores.
In 2006, Conveni-pack was named Environmental
Product of the Year at the Cooling Industry Awards
event held in London.
Already in the early days of the industry, Daikin was
responsible for pioneering innovations as Japan’s first
rotary compressor and Japan’s first packaged heat
pump. In the 1960s we came out with the first Japa-
nese multi split unit. And we revolutionised the indus-
try in 1982 with an industry first: the introduction of
Variable Refrigerant Technology (VRV®), a technology
that continues to be the basis for ongoing innovation
in the comfort sector.
Our top of line residential system and another world
first, Ururu Sarara, ingeniously combines temperature
and humidity control with air purification in one total
comfort package. It is one of the industry’s most effi-
cient products. Thus it is no surprise that Ururu Sarara won a number of awards in 2006: in Japan (Home
Environmental Equipment Prize), Italy (Heating,
Ventilation, Air-Conditioning, and Refrigeration Tech-
nology Innovation Award, and France (Eneo d’Or Award).
PIONEERING PRODUCTS AND
INDUSTRY AWARDS …
SUSTAINABLE COMFORT SOLUTIONS
The way forward is clear: the integration of the Best
Environmental Available Technologies and corporate
responsibility with the continued improvement and
expansion of the four pillars of our total solution
offerings. This requires us to develop and market
heating and cooling systems that are even more
energy efficient, use no toxic chemical substances and
reduce harmful emissions throughout all phases of
product life, from design, through manufacturing and
installation, to end-of-life take-back and responsible
recycling and disposal.
This means maintaining quality and our accent on
R&D, including research into new refrigerants and
eco-design. Aggressive environmental targets have
been included in our Fusion 10, 5-year strategic plan:
these cover reduced CO2 emissions, reduced leakage
of refrigerant, a green procurement policy including
incentives for our suppliers to follow our lead, less
waste in manufacturing and the most efficient use
of energy.

PEOPLE MATTER
Meeting our future challenges also requires recruiting,
developing and retaining the best people. To this end
our plans for the future include further development
of Daikin’s “people oriented management.” With
people come relationships, and Daikin’s Core Values
ensure that the bar is always high: absolute credibility,
enterprising management and harmonious personal
relations.
Absolute credibility means commitments based
on trust with our customers, colleagues, business
partners and local communities. Enterprising
management is a commitment to build our company
through the initiative and excellence of all of our
employees. Harmonious personal relations commits
us to a working environment in which all work
together to meet Daikin’s goals and challenges.
FACTS & FIGURESOUR CORE BUSINESS:
HEAT PUMPS & AIR CONDITIONERS
Since we began producing heat pumps and air conditioners
in the 1950’s, our climate control solutions have grown to
include commercial, industrial and domestic applications,
including ultra-efficient residential heating systems.
Daikin does it all. We are the only air conditioning manu-
facturer to also produce refrigerants and compressors -
the lifeblood and heart of every air conditioning and heat
pump system - allowing us to ensure the highest possible
quality of the total solution. We are also proud to be at
the forefront of efforts to produce safer and less harmful
refrigerants.
In addition to our core business, Daikin also produces
fluorocoating materials (protective films for solar panels,
Zeffle, Teflon… ), oil hydraulics equipment (pumps, motors,
valves... ) electronic systems (CAD-CAM and computer
graphics systems… )

DAIKIN INDUSTRIES LDT. (FY07)
DAIKIN EUROPE N.V. PRODUCT RANGE
Daikin offers a broad range of products and solutions for
industrial, commercial and residential use. Our product
line is structured around four major pillars: heating, air
conditioning, applied systems, and refrigeration.
EXTRACTING NATURE’S HEAT FROM THE AIR
The AlthermaTM air-to-water heat pump system offers
an improvement over traditional systems with respect
to energy efficiency and CO2 emissions, while providing
comfortable heating even in the heart of winter. A small
installation footprint and compatibility with existing
systems and solar cells make the package a very
attractive alternative for new constructions as well as for
renovations.
THE MOST EFFICIENT COMFORT COOLING SYSTEMS
ON THE MARKET
Heat pumps have an inherent advantage when it comes
to energy consumption. When combined with other
Daikin technologies such as inverter control (dynamically
adjusting compressor speed to match building demand),
VRV® (variable refrigerant volume) and heat recovery,
they are one of the most promising forms of home comfort
for the future.
LARGEST CHILLER RANGE IN THE INDUSTRY
Daikin applied systems have proven both flexible
and reliable in providing chilled or heating water for
applications as varied as fish farming, wine processing,
agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food production, as well as
comfort cooling in event halls, large apartment blocks,
hotels and offices. We offer the most complete range of
applied systems in the industry: from 2 MW systems down
to a chiller suitable for residential needs.
TOTAL REFRIGERATION SOLUTIONS FOR BUSINESS
In addition to traditional applications such as marine
container refrigeration, Daikin also offers total solutions
for specific sectors, such as Conveni-pack for the food
retail business: an award-winning, remarkable blend of
VRV®, inverter control, heat recovery and fan technology
that offers optimum efficiency, installation ease and
noise control. Conveni-pack provides efficiency increases
of up to 60% during winter months and 20% during the
summer months, with yearly average savings of up to 50%
depending on regional climate.

* HELPING ADULTS KEEP UP
More than 1 out of 6 adults in Flanders lack the skills
to keep up with and function as a fully-fledged citizen
in today’s knowledge society. Daikin Europe N.V. is
pleased to be playing a role in remedying this situation.
It contributed to the Centre for Basic Education project
around basic education for adults. This Ostend based
Centre offers seven programmes in the areas of (foreign)
languages, mathematics, computers,communication
and social skills to help adults keep up in today’s
fast-paced world. Daikin Europe N.V. also donated to
the King Baudouin Foundation. The mission of this
foundation is clear and at the same time wide-ranging:
to help to improve living conditions for the population.
The King Baudouin Foundation focuses on specific
themes, but also supports projects and citizens who
are committed to create a better society.
These are just some examples where Daikin Europe N.V.
assumes its responsibility to society.

Clean indoor air in a portable package
Contemporary homes and buildings are highly insulated, leading to
a limited exchange of outdoor air with indoor air. As a result, the air we
breathe indoors can be more polluted than outdoor air, and this stale
indoor air can aggravate the symptoms of allergy and asthma sufferers.
A quality air purification system is the answer.
Air purification is an integral part of many of Daikin’s high-end climate
control solutions. This expertise is also available in a dedicated high-end
room air purifier, the MC707. Our compact MC707 employs an 7-layer
filtering system to remove 99.9% of all allergens, viruses and bacteria while
deodorising indoor air. The MC707 also features advanced control that
supports a number of modes, including whisper quiet 16dBA operation,
negative ion creation, anti-pollen mode, turbo mode for quickly cleaning a
room when conditions suddenly change, and an auto mode that senses the
air quality and adjusts its actions accordingly.
In addition to pollutants, indoor air can also be excessively dry, especially
in winter. The Ururu Air Purifier (MCK75J) moisturizes the air inside your
home and relieves the effects of dry air. Just fill the 4l tank occasionally
and it will humidify your room with a maximum of 600ml/h. This useful and
innovative function stems from the incorporation of a slim line water tank
and combined water wheel and vaporisation filter assembly.
HEATING
Extracting solar heat from the air
AlthermaTM is our ideal alternative to traditional fossil-fuel based heating
systems. At its heart is a heat pump that is the result of Daikin’s 80 years
of experience. Because heat pumps extract solar energy from the ambient
air, AlthermaTM is able to offer significantly higher efficiency than any
conventional heating system: from 3 to 5 times higher!
AlthermaTM consists of a small footprint outdoor unit – the air-to-water
heat pump – coupled to an indoor unit that requires no special installation
space. This indoor unit converts the energy of the heat pump into heated
(and optionally cooled) water that can be pumped through conventional
underfloor heating elements and high efficiency radiators. Add fan coil units
for cooling and you have an ultra-efficient total comfort solution, capable of
handling any climate. In addition, an optional boiler can be added to provide
domestic hot water.
This system is easy to install, requires no special digging or drilling, and
can even be installed in flats. AlthermaTM can also be combined with existing
heating systems and other alternative renewable heat sources. It is the ideal
system to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions while providing
maximum comfort, even in the heart of winter.
AIR CONDITIONING
4 air treatment techniques in 1 system
At the heart of our residential systems is our efficient heat-pump technology
coupled to innovations such as inverter control and advanced control systems.
The result is extremely efficient comfort and state of the art climate control.
Our residential split systems offer quiet, efficient outdoor units coupled
with a range of indoor units – wall mounted, floor standing, and ceiling
mount in both concealed and cassette models – to match any comfort, need
and interior. Systems offering heat pump mode provide both heating and
cooling. Split models are available for a single room and multi-split models
for multiple rooms.
Our top of the line Ururu Sarara takes our technology to new levels with
the ability to create unique room climates at the touch of a button: a skin-
friendly “hydration” mode, a “cooling breeze”, a “comfort sleep” mode and
even a “mould shock” mode for preventing mould formation. Its combina-
tion of temperature control, humidity control and air purification make it the
absolute best in residential comfort.
Our strict technological requirements also include the environmental per-
formance of our products. Testifying to our seriousness and professionalism
in addressing this challenge, many of our units have attained the demanding
European Energy Label “A” classification for reduced energy use and CO2
emissions.
AIR CONDITIONINGSky Air + Roundflow:
Daikin’s Sky Air solution
Daikin’s Sky Air solution for commercial spaces such as offices, shops,
restaurants and hotels has just been made better with the introduction of the
Roundflow cassette. Available in many sizes and in thin-body and high-COP
variants, our 360-degree Roundflow provides uniform airflow and temperature
distribution, with lower air velocities and less draughts.
Its main benefits: reduced temperature differential across the conditioned
space, ensuring optimum thermal comfort and energy savings, with some of
the highest COPs in the industry.
In addition to 360-degree operation, Roundflow also supports 4-way, 3-way and
2-way flow patterns. This flexibility combined with its light weight and minimum
depth makes for Roundflow’s easy installation in a broad range of applications.
To top it off, incorporation of humidity sensors in the cassettes results in
improved control of our Sky Air system. All our Roundflow models also offer
standard connection to our intelligent control systems (Intelligent Touch
Controller, Intelligent Manager) as well as third-party building management
systems.
AIR CONDITIONING
The industry leader keeps getting better
VRV® is Daikin’s comfort solution for large commercial buildings. Introduced to
the industry in 1982, VRV® – or variable refrigerant volume – revolutionised the
industry. Where the systems of the time used water or air to conduct heating
and cooling energy throughout buildings, refrigerant was now used for this
task. The result: a phenomenal increase in efficiency and the birth of a new era
in comfort solutions for the entire industry.
The product was so successful that competitors have been scrambling to
catch up ever since. We, however, continue to stay ahead of the field. Since its
introduction, VRV® has increased in size and efficiency. It can support ever taller
buildings, is available in a water-cooled version, and now supports heat recovery
for the greatest possible efficiency. Models are available in cooling only, heat
pump, heat recovery versions, and VRV® supports a wide range of indoor units.
APPLIED SYSTEMS
from 5kW to 2MW
>
The industry’s first residential chiller
Precise climate control is vital to many commercial and large industrial
applications. Our applied systems have proven both flexible and reliable in
providing chilled or heating water for applications as varied as fish farming,
wine and cellar cooling, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food production and
many other industrial and process requirements.
For comfort cooling, Daikin’s residential chillers are used in event halls,
large apartment blocks, hotels, offices, etc. And we offer the world’s first
inverter controlled chiller for residential use.
Daikin is the fourth largest supplier of air-cooled and water-cooled chillers with
a full range of applied systems on offer, serving the most diverse applications.
The recent acquisition of OYL and its subsidiary McQuay highlight our
commitment to this market, allowing us to offer the most extensive offering in
the industry: systems ranging from 5 kW to 2 MW.
REFRIGERATION
Integrated refrigeration,
cooling and heat recovery
Applying or combining its state of the art technologies to come up with total
solutions: that is what Daikin is about. Food retailing environments have
conflicting energy needs. Some products need to be frozen, others cooled,
while the ambient temperature of the shop itself must be kept comfortable for
customers. In the past, this resulted in the use of multiple systems working
independently, with inefficiency and increased CO2 emissions as a result. To say
nothing of the clutter of equipment with the associated noise problems.
With Conveni-pack, Daikin has combined its renowned VRV® technology, scroll
compressor technology and optimum fan and grill design with heat recovery
operation, making it the optimum total system for convenience store and
petrol station operators. Optimum system integration results in stable indoor
temperatures, efficient operation and reduced operating costs and emissions.
At the heart of Conveni-pack is the recovery of heat from the refrigeration and
cooling cabinets to be used to heat the shop area. Thus, energy that would
otherwise be wasted is recuperated.
Conveni-pack’s modular construction makes it suitable for any size of
installation. The quiet outdoor units are compact and support long piping
runs, resulting in optimum installation flexibility. Moreover, Conveni-pack
is compatible with standard third-party refrigeration cabinets, unit coolers
and controls. And its use of multiple compressors combined with optimum
control, mean not only the most efficient solution in function of demand, but
redundancy in the case of failure.

HRV indoor units
Proper ventilation is a key component of climate control in buildings, offices and
shops. In its basic function, it ensures a flow of incoming fresh air and outgoing
stale air. Our HRV (heat reclaim ventilation) solution can do much more. It can
recover heat and optimise the balance between indoor and outdoor temperature
and humidity, thus reducing the load on the system and increasing efficiency.
Outdoor air processing in a single unit
Our FXMQ-MFV1 air processing solution uses heat pump technology to combine
fresh air treatment and air conditioning in a single system, thereby eliminating
the usual design problems associated with balancing air supply and discharge.
Total system cost is reduced and design flexibility enhanced because the air
conditioning fan coil units and an outdoor air treatment unit can be connected
to the same refrigerant line.
Our HRV and FXMQ-MFV1 ventilation units can be easily integrated into a total
system via Daikin or third-party climate control and building management
systems for optimum comfort and efficiency.
VRV® air handling applications
For medium and large commercial spaces, we offer a range of R-410A inverter
condensing units that provide air handling and air conditioning. This approach
combines the flexibility of our VRV® units with Air Handling Applications,
resulting in a simple, reliable design for optimum control of indoor air quality
and maximum efficiency.
DAIKIN HAS BEEN A PIONEER IN DESIGNING STATE OF THE ART AIR CONDITIONING TECHNOLOGY SINCE THE
INDUSTRY’S BIRTH. OVER THE YEARS, WE HAVE GAINED TREMENDOUS EXPERIENCE IN THE TECHNOLOGIES
CENTRAL TO CLIMATE CONTROL, NOTABLY HEAT PUMPS, INVERTERS AND REFRIGERANTS. IN FACT, WE
ARE THE ONLY MANUFACTURER TO HAVE MASTERED ALL OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES IN HOUSE. THESE
SAME TECHNOLOGIES ARE NOW FINDING MUCH WIDER APPLICATION IN INTEGRATED TOTAL COMFORT AND
INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS THAT ARE MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT AND REDUCE HARMFUL EMISSIONS. DAIKIN
EUROPE N.V. HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS TREND TOWARD WIDER APPLICATION AND INTEGRATION,
AS REFLECTED IN THE FOUR PILLARS OF OUR BUSINESS: RESIDENTIAL COMFORT SOLUTIONS, HOME HEATING,
APPLIED SYSTEMS AND REFRIGERATION.
INNOVATOR IN ENERGY
EFFICIENCY AND REDUCED
EMISSIONS
INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGIES
Heat pumps, the heart of air conditioning technology,
have an inherent advantage when it comes to energy
consumption. They extract solar energy from the
ambient air, thereby reducing the primary fuel
consumption (electricity) needed to cool and heat.
We combine this core technology with other Daikin
innovations such as inverter control (dynamically
adjusting compressor speed in function of actual system
demand), VRV® (variable refrigerant volume) and heat
recovery to create the most efficient home comfort
and industrial climate control solutions on the market.
