Daikin believes reducing the global warming impact of air conditioners, cooling, and heat pump equipment cannot be achieved by just one company. We believe free access for certain patents will encourage the industry to immediately adopt this environmentally-advanced technology. Because many countries are today considering ways to mitigate climate change, Daikin decided it is important to promote the conversion to R-32 as a way to improve the environmental profile of air conditioners, cooling, and heat pump equipment.
