Daikin Applied Rebel Applied Rooftop System

Daikin Applied

Rebel and Rebel Applied packaged rooftop systems

Serviceability features: On-site service is faster for these rooftops with the addition of low-GWP R-32 refrigerant, a single component refrigerant that’s easier to recharge and reclaim than a blend. Double-wall foam construction, coupled with hinged access doors to all major sections, facilitates easy access to replace filters and clean the evaporator coil, energy recovery wheel and drain pan. Additionally, the plethora of BAS communication options offers more ways to monitor and interact with the unit.

Noise-reduction features: These rooftops incorporate several noise-reduction features, such as compressor sound blankets, high-efficiency condenser fans, perforated interior liners, and sound attenuators inside the discharge plenum. Together, these elements contribute to creating an exceptionally quiet interior environment, minimizing both interior and radiated sound power levels.

IAQ equipment supported: Configurable primary filters, coil cleaning UV, precision two-point control (humidity and temperature), modulating hot gas reheat, and precision control of outdoor airflow intake. Rebel Applied also offers features such as UV disinfection, photocatalytic oxidation (PCO), HEPA final filters, gas phase filtration, humidifiers, and sorbent ventilation technology, all contributing to deliver clean, quality indoor air.

Thermostat compatibility: Requires a special thermostat.

Replacement parts compatibility: Some shared parts and some unique parts.

Additional features: The new Rebel and Rebel Applied units feature low-GWP R-32 refrigerant, recognized as one of the most efficient and proven refrigerant options.

Features such as fully integrated energy recovery and sophisticated control logic tie the system together, making it one of the most advanced rooftop units in the market.

Warranty information: All products include a standard one-year full unit parts warranty. A variety of à la carte options allow customers to customize their warranty coverage. These options range from an extra year of parts to several decades of both parts and labor warranties, providing customers with peace of mind and flexibility.

Special installation requirements: Rooftop units are typically mounted on a roof curb when positioned on a building. When it comes to replacing a rooftop unit at the end of its original lifespan, an adapter curb is usually necessary for the new unit to sit on the existing installed roof curb. However, a unique feature of the Rebel Applied system is its ability to replace both older Daikin rooftop units and competitors' equipment without needing an adapter curb.

IAQ equipment supported: Manufacturer did not specify.

Thermostat compatibility: Manufacturer did not specify.

Replacement parts compatibility: Some shared parts and some unique parts.

Additional features: Thermafit units are earth-friendly, mini-modular units that fit in very small spaces. They drive down emissions while reducing utility costs, using low-GWP refrigerants and high-efficiency compressors with variable-speed drives. Low starting current (Amps) avoids expansion of electrical service. Full-load efficiency exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 standards.

Warranty information: Parts warrantied for 12 months from the initial startup or 18 months from the date of shipment, whichever is less. Optional extended warranties are also available.

Special installation requirements: Due to its small size, Thermafit units install in very small spaces and facilitate convenient curbside delivery. Fully assembled, they pass through standard 36-inch doorways and ride on passenger elevators. Components can be taken apart fully or partially for rigging into places like cramped equipment rooms.
