Low temperature (LT) hydrobox for VRV

High-Efficiency All-Electric Heat Pump Hot and Chilled Water Solutions

Daikin's LT hydrobox (HXY48TAVJU) offers an all-electric means of refrigerant to water heat exchange, providing an efficient method for hot and cold-water generation for many hydronic solutions, including high-efficiency space heating and cooling. The LT hydrobox combines with Daikin's VRV systems for expanded indoor unit flexibility with hydronic integration. It delivers water from 50°F to 113°F without the need for a backup electric heater, making it suitable for underfloor heating and cooling, air handling units, and low-temperature radiators. This makes it an ideal choice for both new construction and renovation applications.

The stylish and compact wall-hung unit features front access and minimal clearance requirements, making it ideal for installation in tight spaces and ensuring ease of maintenance.
