Embracing change: Upgrading from Daikin MTII to MTIV

Technology evolves rapidly, and modern control systems are designed to adapt to future innovations. Upgrading to the Daikin MTIV controller not only extends the lifespan of the chiller but also ensures compatibility with future technological developments. The retrofit kit for the Daikin MTIV involves updating the unit's controller hardware.

Below, we explore why upgrading to MTIV is a valuable investment.

Stay ahead with the latest technology

Upgrading to the Daikin MTIV optimises chiller performance, helping systems operate at peak efficiency, resulting in energy savings and lower operational costs. The MTIV controller features advanced diagnostics (including Daikin on Site remote interaction) that can identify potential issues early, supporting reduced downtime and maintenance expenses.

Move away from outdated systems

Relying on outdated controllers can cause inefficiencies and lead to expensive repairs.

The MTII controller is not a simple plug-and-play solution; replacing it involves manual tasks such as rewiring and expansion valve driver replacement, often leaving the system performing at the level of a chiller from 15 years ago. Additionally, units with a pCOB controller have no direct replacement, making the upgrade from MTII to MTIV essential. The MTII software has not been updated for more than a decade, which limits system performance and increases the risk of operational issues.

Upgrading provides access to modern features that enhance operational efficiency and significantly reduce ongoing maintenance costs.

Lower your environmental impact

The MTIV upgrade enables chillers to operate with the latest, more environmentally friendly refrigerants (R513A, R1234ze). By switching to refrigerants with lower Global Warming Potential (GWP), you can significantly reduce your environmental footprint.

This change supports compliance with stricter GWP regulations, enhances sustainability efforts, and offers potential long-term cost savings.

Empower your technical team

Today’s technicians are trained to maintain and troubleshoot modern technologies. By upgrading to the MTIV controller, your company's technical team can independently operate and maintain the most advanced systems. This leads to quicker issue resolution, optimised system performance, and improved operational efficiency.

Simplify spare part management

The MTII to MTIV upgrade provides a straightforward, plug-and-play solution, supported by the ready availability of spare parts. This ensures quicker repairs, reduced downtime, and seamless operational continuity. 

Enhance connectivity with Daikin on Site

Modern control systems offer enhanced connectivity, enabling direct access to all key variables via modem without the need for additional equipment. This streamlines remote monitoring and improves overall system management.

Make selection simple

Choosing the right retrofit kit is straightforward and intuitive, with solutions tailored to meet specific operational requirements. This ensures a smooth transition and maximises the benefits of the upgrade.
