At ARBS 2026, Daikin will mark its largest ever presence, with a 252m2 stand showcasing climate control, refrigeration and hot water heating solutions designed to support more energy-efficient and sustainable outcomes.
LOWER GWP. HIGHER PERFORMANCE.
Taking centre stage will be the new VRV 7 range, Daikin’s first R32 VRV systems. Visitors will be guided through five key pitstops covering outdoor units with capacities up to 168kW, Shirudo Technology for R32 leak mitigation compliance, R32 branch selector units for heat recovery operations, a broad range of compatible indoor types and engineering software tools that simplify R32 model and safety device selection.
In applied solutions, visitors can explore the R454C Inverter High Temperature & Low Carbon Solution Heat Pump and the R1234ze Water Cooled Magnetic Bearing Chiller. A demonstration of MARUTTO P-Series with iPlant Manager will also be featured, supporting decarbonisation with smarter plant room control.
Daikin will also highlight its recently released Commercial Refrigeration Evaporators, alongside its current range of condensing units. For applications with variable load conditions and demanding energy efficiency requirements, CO2 ZEAS will also be on display as an inverter system utilising natural refrigerant.
ELEVATING HOT WATER HEATING
This year, Daikin will make its debut in the residential hot water heating market with the launch of its first CO2 Hot Water Heat Pump. Showcased on the stand, it represents a more sustainable hot water solution backed by Daikin’s years of heat pump expertise. With a 6kW condenser, it can deliver water temperatures of up to 63°C without electrical heating assistance and is available in 250L and 315L tank capacities.
ENHANCED SPLIT SYSTEMS
Daikin will unveil the next evolution of its R32 split system range ahead of launch later this year. Alira X will introduce new heating features aimed at delivering faster room heating and reducing defrost cycles. Cora will feature built-in Wi-Fi, while the Lite series will expand with a new 8kW option. Visitors will also be able to see a number of outdoor unit enhancements, including an improved stop valve angle to facilitate easier field piping and a redesigned fully enclosed electrical box for added protection against wildlife.
AUSSIE MANUFACTURING
Daikin has continued to invest in local manufacturing capability, with an additional $28.6 million factory opened in December 2025. Among the Australian Made certified products manufactured at the facility are Daikin Air Handling Units (D-AHU), custom tailored to project requirements and Eurovent certified. At the stand, visitors will be able to interact with a D-AHU and further explore the product through a desktop virtual reality experience.
Other Australian made products on display will include the R32 18kW Premium Inverter Ducted, approved by the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program and featuring Daikin’s Refrigerant Leak Control Strategy.
Daikin will be located at Stand 466. Visitors are welcome to enjoy complimentary coffees and doughnuts. Afternoon canapes and drinks will also be available from 4pm on Tuesday, 5th May and Wednesday, 6th May.
