Vienna, July 2024 – As part of the further expansion of the VRV 5 solution, with its focus on lowering the carbon footprint of commercial buildings, Daikin is launching the new 1-Way Blow Corner Cassette, which features a stylish design and enlarged capacities specially designed for hotel rooms and office spaces. Its innovative qualities allow users to benefit from powerful performance as well as sleek aesthetics. Alongside this, Daikin launches a new range of Biddle air curtains to support highly efficient climate separation at doorways for retailers.


1-Way Blow Corner Cassette
The modern and elegant design of the 1-Way Blow Corner Cassette makes it an attractive addition to any interior, regardless of the aesthetic. Discretion has been built-in. Not only is it a compact unit, which greatly reduces the space required for ceiling opening and enables installation in narrow ceiling voids with a height of only 260mm, but it also boasts a unique suction flap that enhances the overall look, allowing the cassette to blend seamlessly into the room when not in operation by fully closing the suction grille.
Daikin remains committed to providing sustainable solutions for a wide range of buildings. With expanded capacity classes, the 1-Way Blow Corner Cassette covers cooling capacities from 2.2 kW for well-insulated rooms up to 7.1 kW (8.0 kW for heating) for larger spaces, suitable from a cozy hotel room to a spacious office.
The 1-Way Blow Corner Cassette seamlessly integrates into Daikin’s VRV system, offering dedicated models for both R-410A (FXKQ-A) and R-32 (FXKA-A) refrigerants. This expansion further enhances the unique VRV portfolio, providing flexibility for various commercial applications.
Biddle Air Curtain
The new range of Biddle air curtains creates highly efficient climate separation at doorways. The comprehensive range includes three different models: free-hanging, cassette, and recessed types. They are designed to fit any type of ceiling and door and cover any application thanks to their wide range of capacities and sizes..
A key advantage of the Biddle air curtain is the quick return of investment, less than 18 months compared to a standard electric air curtain. The Biddle air curtain can be installed as part of the VRV solution or paired with an individual heat pump outdoor unit and has a unified range for R-32 and R-410A refrigerants.

The 1-Way Blow Corner Cassette has been available in the CE region since June 2024, and the Biddle air curtain has been available in the CE region since April 2024.
