6 good reasons to choose Daikin FWQ-A Fan Coil
Reason #1: Improved cooling performance
The new FWQ-A ducted fan coil unit has been engineered to deliver higher cooling capacities and superior flexibility in system design. With outputs reaching up to 12.5 kW at an external static pressure of 50 Pa (std conditions), the unit ensures strong and consistent air distribution in standard installations. For more demanding duct configurations, it can operate at ESP levels up to 140 Pa without compromising cooling efficiency. This extended pressure range makes it ideal for complex layouts or longer duct runs, guaranteeing optimal performance and comfort even in challenging applications. Whether in commercial or residential projects, this upgraded performance translates into better adaptability, higher efficiency, and reliable comfort across a wider range of installation conditions.
Reason #2: Brushless Direct Current motor for high comfort & lower operating costs
The BLDC fan motor is equipped with a variable Dip Switch, allowing precise selection of the optimal fan speed according to the system’s external static pressure (ESP). This ensures that airflow remains stable and consistent, even when ESP conditions vary. As a result, the unit can be perfectly calibrated to the specific requirements of each installation, improving performance, maintaining comfort, and preventing efficiency losses.
Reason #3: Open protocol communication for efficient system management
This unit is equipped with open protocol communication, ensuring seamless integration into modern building environments. By relying on a standardised communication protocol, it can easily interact with other devices within the Building Management System (BMS) or HVAC network. This seamless communication not only simplifies installation and system configuration but also enables centralised monitoring, smarter energy management, and more efficient control of comfort conditions throughout the building. Additionally, the FWQ-A is fully compatible with the Daikin Smart Control System (SCS), an advanced solution designed to manage hydronic HVAC systems. Specifically developed for Daikin equipment, SCS optimises system performance, enhances energy efficiency, and ensures reliable operation across complex heating and cooling installations.

Reason #4: Easy & fast plug-and-play installation
Thanks to the factory-mounted valves and integrated drain pump kit, installation is faster, easier, and more cost-effective. This pre-assembled design dramatically reduces commissioning time and installation costs, while minimizing the risk of on-site errors. The result is greater reliability, simplified setup, and long-term operational efficiency — a true plug-and-play solution that saves time and money from day one.
Reason #5: Flexible Air Filtration Solutions for Every Environment
The system comes equipped with standard G2 air filters, ensuring reliable performance in most environments. For applications that demand higher air purity, such as healthcare facilities or precision manufacturing — the filtration level can be easily upgraded by choosing optional G3 or G4 filters. This modular design makes the system highly adaptable to different installation needs, allowing users to optimize air quality and efficiency based on specific environmental conditions.
Reason #6: Advanced Control for Smarter, More Efficient System Management
The FWQ-A fan coil unit connects seamlessly to the Shinka control platform, combining the efficiency of the FWEDA PCB logic with the intuitive Shinka Touch wall interface. This smart control solution ensures maximum comfort and energy efficiency with minimal installation effort, further simplified by the Daikin Shinka Manager Commissioning mobile app for fast and user-friendly setup.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Can Daikin fan coil units be integrated into the Smart Control System?
Yes, Daikin fan coil units can be seamlessly integrated into the Daikin SCS, a fully integrated solution that monitors and optimises HVAC performance. Engineered around Daikin technology, SCS ensures plug-and-play interoperability across all components, from chillers and heat pumps to fan coils and AHUs, offering a scalable, efficient solution for both new and retrofit projects.
Are Daikin fan coils compatible with the Shinka controller?
Yes, Daikin fan coil units are fully compatible with the Shinka controller — a versatile control board designed to be mounted directly on the fan coil unit.
The controller is composed of two main components: the main board, which integrates all power electronics and control circuitry and is installed directly on the unit; and the wall-mounted user interface, which provides convenient access for system monitoring and control.
The Shinka controller supports floor-mounted, ducted, and cassette fan coils, providing precise temperature regulation, remote monitoring, and seamless integration with building management systems (BMS) for smart and efficient HVAC control. The system uses Modbus hardwired communication to connect with the Shinka user interface or an external BMS supervisor, making it suitable for any FCU configuration and ensuring reliable performance across diverse installations.
