What’s New with the Latest Daikin Sensira?
The New Generation Sensira is much more than a replacement model. Daikin has updated the FTXC-E range with a fresh new design, integrated network connectivity and an expanded collection of comfort and efficiency features.
A Fresh New Look Inspired by Japanese Design
The latest Sensira immediately looks different from the previous generation. Daikin has adopted a more refined modern angular aesthetic for the FTXC-E indoor unit, giving it a cleaner and more architectural appearance on the wall.
Daikin describes the design as a combination of organic and geometric forms inspired by Japanese origami art and craftsmanship. Defined creases and sharper detailing are balanced by smoother surfaces, creating a modern design without making the unit visually intrusive.
A minimalist LED indication complements the cleaner appearance, while the flat front panel helps the indoor unit integrate naturally into contemporary interiors.
The result is a New Generation Sensira that looks more refined and more premium, in addition to incorporating Daikin’s latest connectivity and comfort features.
Built-In Smart Control with Daikin ONECTA
The FTXC-E Series includes a built-in Daikin network adaptor for use with the Daikin ONECTA app.
This allows your smartphone to act as a remote controller, giving you convenient access to compatible air-conditioning functions from inside or outside the home.
18 000 BTU Cooling with 5.10 kW Rated Capacity
The Sensira 50 sits in the 18 000 BTU air-conditioner class and delivers a Daikin-rated cooling capacity of 17 400 BTU/h or 5.10 kW.
Its inverter system can vary cooling output between approximately 4 700 and 21 200 BTU/h, or 1.37 to 6.20 kW.
This gives the system considerable flexibility to increase output when cooling demand is high and reduce output as the room approaches the selected temperature.
Daikin Inverter Technology
Daikin inverter technology continually adjusts compressor output according to the heating or cooling demand of the room.
Instead of operating only at maximum output and switching off, the inverter can increase or reduce performance as required, helping maintain a more stable indoor temperature while managing electricity consumption efficiently.
A++ Seasonal Cooling Efficiency
The New Generation Sensira 18 000 BTU achieves a SEER of 6.5 and an A++ seasonal cooling efficiency rating.
Rated cooling power consumption is 1 550 W, although actual consumption varies as the inverter adjusts output according to demand.
The system also incorporates ECONO mode, which can limit maximum power consumption when reduced electrical demand is preferred.
Heating as well as Cooling
The Sensira is a reverse-cycle inverter air conditioner, providing heating as well as cooling.
The 18 000 BTU model provides 5.62 kW or approximately 19 200 BTU/h of rated heating capacity.
Its heating output can vary from approximately 1.36 to 6.60 kW, allowing the system to adapt its output according to the heating requirements of the room.
Quiet Indoor Operation
Despite its increased capacity, the FTXC50EV1F remains designed for quiet indoor operation.
Indoor sound pressure levels are approximately 47 / 39 / 33 / 30 dBA, depending on fan speed, with operation as low as 30 dBA on its Super Low setting.
Powerful Operation
Powerful Operation temporarily boosts cooling or heating performance when a faster change in room temperature is required.
Sleep Mode
The Sensira’s dedicated Sleep Mode gradually adjusts the temperature during the first part of the night to help avoid excessive heating or cooling while you sleep.
Effective Air Distribution
The Sensira 18 000 BTU provides indoor airflow of up to approximately 440 CFM.
Vertical Auto-Swing automatically moves the discharge louvres up and down to help distribute conditioned air effectively throughout the room.
Air Filtration and Odour Control
The New Generation Sensira combines a Saranet filter with Daikin’s Titanium Apatite Deodorising Filter.
The Saranet filter helps capture airborne dust particles and can be removed for cleaning, while the Titanium Apatite filter provides additional adsorption and deodorising performance to help reduce unwanted indoor odours.
Customers looking for Daikin’s more advanced air-treatment technology and premium comfort features should also consider the higher-end Daikin Perfera range.
R32 Refrigerant
The New Generation Sensira uses R32 refrigerant, which has a substantially lower global warming potential than the R410A refrigerant widely used in older-generation split systems.
Auto Restart After a Power Failure
The Sensira can remember its operating settings following a power interruption and resume operation using its previous settings when electricity is restored.
Self-Diagnosis for Easier Servicing
The FTXC-E Series includes a self-diagnosis function that provides diagnostic information to assist technicians with troubleshooting and servicing.
Compact Indoor Unit for its Capacity
Despite providing substantially more cooling capacity than the smaller Sensira models, the FTXC50EV1F retains a compact indoor-unit format measuring approximately 770 mm wide.
This helps the 18 000 BTU Sensira provide significant cooling performance without requiring the larger indoor-unit chassis used by the Sensira 60 and 71 models.
