The main tenet of Daikin's policy is
"diversity of refrigerants." and
reducing impacts through a "life
cycle approach".
To reduce the environmental
impact of a refrigerant throughout
its lifecycle, we evaluate various
aspects comprehensively to select
the appropriate refrigerant for
each application.
