Main advantages of the Daikin Perfera 3.5 kW air conditioner

Smart WiFi control via Daikin Onecta

The Daikin Perfera FTXM35B air conditioner includes WiFi connectivity for managing climate control through the Daikin Onecta app, available for compatible mobile devices.

This technology allows you to control the air conditioner from a smartphone or tablet, both inside and outside the home, as long as there is an Internet connection.

Its main functions include:

• Remote on/off: allows you to turn the air conditioner on or off remotely.
• Temperature adjustment: makes it easy to set the desired temperature.
• Operating mode selection: cooling, heating, fan and dehumidification.
• Fan speed: allows you to adapt the airflow to the room's needs.
• Weekly scheduling: makes it easy to set personalized operating times.
• Energy control: provides access to the monitoring and saving functions available in the app.
• Voice control: offers compatibility with assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to manage the main functions.

Thanks to WiFi control, it is possible to switch on the air conditioner before arriving home, set schedules adapted to your usual timetable and change the temperature without directly using the remote control.

Flash Streamer technology to improve air quality

The Daikin Perfera FTXM35B incorporates Flash Streamer technology, an air treatment system developed by Daikin that uses high-speed electron discharge to help reduce certain allergens and odors present in the air.

This technology is complemented by different filtration elements:

• Silver particle filter: helps capture certain allergens in the air, such as pollen and dust mites.
• Titanium apatite deodorizing filter: helps reduce unpleasant odors.
• Air filter: helps retain dust particles circulating through the indoor unit.

The combination of these technologies helps improve indoor air quality and provide a more comfortable environment during operation.

To maintain the performance of the filtration system, it is important to clean and maintain the filters following the manufacturer's instructions.

Two-zone intelligent motion sensor

The Daikin Perfera TXM35B includes a two-zone intelligent motion sensor that detects the location of people in the room and adjusts the direction of the airflow to reduce direct drafts on occupants.

When no presence is detected for a certain period, the unit can automatically activate an energy-saving operation, helping to reduce electricity consumption.

This function is especially interesting in bedrooms, living rooms and offices where people change position or temporarily leave the room.

Even air distribution with Comfort+ and 3D airflow

Daikin's Comfort+ technology uses dual flaps to improve air distribution and promote a more even temperature throughout the room.

In cooling mode, the unit can direct air towards the ceiling to reduce direct drafts on people. In heating mode, it adapts the distribution of warm air to provide comfortable climate control.

In addition, the 3D airflow combines automatic vertical and horizontal swing to distribute cold or warm air across different areas of the room, even in areas far from the indoor unit.

These technologies help reduce temperature differences and provide greater thermal comfort during air conditioner operation.

Ultra-quiet operation at just 19 dB(A)

One of the main features of the Daikin Perfera range is its quiet operation. The FTXM35B indoor unit reaches a minimum sound pressure of 19 dB(A) in cooling when operating in the quietest mode.

In heating, the minimum sound pressure is 20 dB(A).

These levels make it an especially interesting option for bedrooms, offices and other spaces where discreet climate control is desired.

The unit also features a quiet outdoor unit mode, designed to reduce the noise emitted to the surroundings when operating conditions allow it.

Heat Boost function to reach the desired temperature faster

The Daikin Perfera range includes a heating boost function that allows the selected temperature to be reached more quickly.

According to Daikin, under the test conditions established by the manufacturer, this function can allow the set temperature to be reached up to 14% faster than a reference Daikin system.

This feature is especially interesting during the colder months, when a room needs to be heated after a period without climate control.

The actual benefit will depend on environmental conditions, the initial temperature and the thermal characteristics of the space.

Additional comfort and energy-saving functions

The Daikin Perfera TXM35B air conditioner includes different functions to adapt its operation to the needs of each moment:

• Powerful mode: temporarily increases performance to reach the selected temperature more quickly.
• Econo mode: limits the unit's maximum electricity consumption.
• Indoor quiet mode: reduces fan speed to lower operating noise.
• Outdoor quiet mode: helps reduce the sound emission of the outdoor unit.
• Night mode: adapts operation during rest hours.
• Dehumidification: helps reduce ambient humidity.
• Fan mode: allows air to circulate in the room without activating cooling or heating.
• Automatic changeover between cooling and heating: selects the required mode to reach the set temperature, depending on the configuration.
• Weekly scheduling: allows personalized schedules to be set.
• Automatic fan speed: adapts airflow according to climate control needs.
• Automatic restart: restores operating settings after a power interruption.
• Energy saving in standby: reduces electricity consumption when the unit remains in standby mode.
• Self-diagnosis: helps identify certain operating issues.

Refrigerant connections of the Daikin Perfera TXM35B

The 1x1 split system uses a refrigerant circuit to connect the Daikin FTXM35B indoor unit with the RXM35A9 outdoor unit.

The connection diameters are as follows:

• Liquid refrigerant pipe: 1/4" (6.4 mm).
• Gas refrigerant pipe: 3/8" (9.5 mm).
• Indoor unit condensate drain connection: 16 mm.

The refrigerant diameters of the indoor unit match the corresponding connections of the outdoor unit for class 35, so no diameter reducers are required in this configuration.

The installation must use copper pipes suitable for R-32 refrigerant, properly insulated and with the dimensions specified by the manufacturer.

Maximum piping length and installation conditions

The Daikin RXM35A9 outdoor unit allows the indoor unit to be installed with a maximum refrigerant run of 20 meters and a maximum height difference of 15 meters.

The main technical installation conditions include:

• Maximum refrigerant piping length: 20 meters.
• Maximum height difference between indoor and outdoor units: 15 meters.
• Piping length covered by the factory refrigerant charge: 10 meters.
• Additional refrigerant charge: 20 grams per additional meter when the length exceeds 10 meters.
• Liquid pipe diameter: 1/4" (6.4 mm).
• Gas pipe diameter: 3/8" (9.5 mm).

For example, in an installation with 15 meters of refrigerant piping between the indoor and outdoor units, the run exceeds the length covered by the factory charge by 5 meters.

Applying the indication of 20 additional grams per meter, the theoretical calculation of additional refrigerant would be 100 grams of R-32, following Daikin's established procedure.

The refrigerant length is measured by taking as reference the one-way run of the liquid pipe between both units, without adding the gas pipe length again.

The minimum piping length and mounting conditions must be checked in the edition of the installation manual corresponding to the supplied unit.

Insulation of refrigerant piping

Refrigerant piping must be installed with suitable insulation to reduce energy losses and prevent condensation.

The installation conditions include:

• 1/4" liquid pipe: thermal insulation suitable for refrigeration installations.
• 3/8" gas pipe: thermal insulation suitable for refrigeration installations.
• Material: insulating foam suitable for the operating temperatures of R-32 refrigerant equipment.
• Refrigerant piping: copper suitable for the refrigerant working pressures and for the connection system specified by Daikin.
• Condensation protection: insulation of refrigerant connections, especially in warm and humid environments.

The installer must also check condensate drainage slopes, power supply, minimum clearances around the units and proper ventilation of the area where the outdoor unit is located.
