Daikin Australia's new refrigeration offering revolutionises local market

New DeVap range strengthens Daikin’s refrigeration portfolio and commitment to local commercial needs

Daikin Australia has enhanced its refrigeration capabilities, announcing it can now support customers with a full equipment turnkey solution following the introduction of its new DeVap evaporator range.

The national launch marks a milestone for Daikin Australia, bringing evaporators into its existing condensing unit portfolio and enabling a complete refrigeration solution for the local market. The range has been developed to address Australian needs, with a focus on dependable performance and practical design that simplifies installation, servicing and maintenance.

“Refrigeration is an important and growing focus for Daikin in Australia,” said Kevin Sultana, Refrigeration Sales Manager at Daikin Australia. “By adding evaporators to our lineup, we can now deliver a more complete solution that reflects local operating conditions and the real-world needs of installers and business owners.”

The launch introduces DeVap, Daikin’s new range of evaporators designed specifically for Australian conditions. Its development was informed by extensive on-site research conducted across metro and regional New South Wales and Queensland, including fish markets, supermarkets, meat wholesalers, delicatessens, wineries, liquor outlets, produce specialists and ice cream manufacturing facilities. “These insights shaped a design suited to local climate factors, including ambient humidity levels, and everyday operating demands,” Sultana added. 

Designed for Australian installation and replacement projects, DeVap integrates with Daikin’s broader refrigeration portfolio and supports the transition to lower GWP refrigerant alternatives, including R448A, R452A and R513A. Combined with installer-focused design that ensures precise installation and commissioning, simplifies servicing and reduces ongoing maintenance demands, the range helps businesses make more sustainable, reliable refrigeration choices with longer service life and lower lifecycle impact.

Built on the company’s global refrigeration engineering expertise and validated through extensive testing at its facilities in Japan, the range reflects Daikin’s focus on quality, reliability and long-term performance. 

“For end users, compact unit designs help maximise available storage space, while durable components support consistent operation and extended service life,” said Sultana. Optional features such as factory-fitted Carel EVD-ICE models are available to reduce installation and commissioning time and further improve energy efficiency, as well as Blygold coil coating, available to enhance corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments.

Daikin Australia’s refrigeration solution, including the DeVap evaporator range, will be available nationally from February 2026 and is suitable for businesses such as supermarkets, convenience stores, service stations, hospitality venues, liquor outlets, food processing facilities, delicatessens, butchers and healthcare environments.
