Introducing the new Daikin Sensira 24 000 BTU inverter air conditioner – the largest and most powerful model in the New Generation FTXC-E Sensira range.
The arrival of the Sensira 71 expands Daikin’s popular Sensira family into a larger capacity class than previously available, giving customers with bigger rooms and open-plan living areas a new option within the Sensira range.
The new system combines the FTXC71EV1F indoor unit with the RXC71EV1 outdoor unit and delivers a manufacturer-rated 24 200 BTU/h (7.10 kW) of cooling capacity.
For customers specifically searching for a true 24 000 BTU-class Daikin Sensira, this is the model to look at. The smaller Sensira 60 is rated at 21 300 BTU/h, while the new Sensira 71 provides a full 24 200 BTU/h rated cooling capacity.
New Daikin Sensira 24 000 BTU – Sensira Now Goes Bigger
The introduction of the Sensira 71 is an important expansion of the Sensira range.
Previously, customers requiring substantially more capacity than the Sensira 60 often had to look beyond the core Sensira line. The New Generation FTXC-E range now extends to a 7.10 kW / 24 200 BTU/h model, opening Sensira to larger lounges, substantial open-plan living areas and other high-capacity residential applications.
This means customers can now access the Sensira combination of Daikin inverter technology, smart connectivity and practical comfort features in a genuine 24 000 BTU-class system.

New Generation Sensira – with a Completely Fresh Look
The increased capacity isn’t the only reason the new Sensira is different. Daikin has also given the FTXC-E Series a completely refreshed indoor-unit design.
Japanese Origami-Inspired Design
Daikin describes the latest Sensira as having a modern angular aesthetic, combining organic and geometric forms in a design inspired by Japanese origami art and craftsmanship.
A sharp, clearly defined crease creates a visual feature through the centre of the indoor unit before gradually transitioning into a smooth, flat surface. Defined edges are combined with cleaner surfaces to give the new Sensira a more contemporary and sophisticated appearance.
A minimalist LED indication keeps the overall design restrained, allowing this larger air conditioner to blend more naturally into modern residential interiors.
The new styling is an important part of the New Generation Sensira proposition: this isn’t simply a larger compressor paired with the old indoor unit. The FTXC-E generation looks newer and more refined as well as introducing updated technology.
True 24 000 BTU-Class Cooling
The new Sensira 71 provides a rated cooling capacity of 24 200 BTU/h or 7.10 kW.
This is an important distinction when comparing large residential air conditioners. Nominal BTU descriptions are sometimes used loosely in the market, but Daikin’s manufacturer specification for the Sensira 71 is a genuine 24 200 BTU/h rated cooling output.
Its inverter cooling output can vary between approximately 7 800 and 24 900 BTU/h, or 2.30 to 7.30 kW, allowing the system to adjust its output according to changing cooling requirements.
More Cooling Power Than Previous Sensira Models
The Sensira 71 becomes the largest-capacity model in the New Generation Sensira range.
For comparison, the Sensira 60 provides 6.23 kW / 21 300 BTU/h rated cooling, while the new Sensira 71 increases rated output to 7.10 kW / 24 200 BTU/h.
That additional capacity makes the 71 particularly relevant to larger residential spaces where a Sensira 60 may not provide sufficient cooling once glazing, sun exposure, ceiling height and other heat loads are taken into account.
Daikin Inverter Technology
Daikin inverter technology allows the compressor to continually adjust its output according to the cooling or heating demand of the room.
Instead of repeatedly operating at full capacity and switching off, the inverter can increase or reduce output as required. This helps maintain a more consistent indoor climate while managing electricity consumption according to actual demand.
Built-In Smart Control with Daikin ONECTA
The New Generation Sensira incorporates a built-in Daikin network adaptor for use with the Daikin ONECTA app.
Your smartphone can function as a remote controller, allowing compatible air-conditioning functions to be managed from inside or outside the home.
This makes it easy to adjust the indoor climate before arriving home or check the air conditioner remotely.
8.00 kW Heating Capacity
The Sensira 71 is a reverse-cycle inverter air conditioner, providing powerful heating as well as cooling.
Rated heating capacity is 8.00 kW or approximately 27 300 BTU/h, with variable heating output between approximately 2.30 and 9.00 kW.
This allows the same system to provide substantial cooling during summer and effective space heating through colder weather.
Powerful Operation
Powerful Operation temporarily increases cooling or heating performance when you need to change the room temperature more quickly.
Once the powerful operating period is complete, the Sensira returns to normal operation.
ECONO Mode
ECONO mode limits maximum power consumption when reduced electrical demand is preferred.
This can be useful when other high-consumption appliances are operating simultaneously or where overall household electricity demand needs to be managed.
Sleep Mode
The New Generation Sensira includes a dedicated Sleep Mode designed to avoid excessive cooling or heating during the night.
The temperature is gradually adjusted during the first two hours of Sleep Mode to provide a more comfortable sleeping environment.
High Airflow for Larger Spaces
The Sensira 71 indoor unit provides airflow of up to approximately 720 CFM, helping distribute its increased heating and cooling capacity effectively through larger spaces.
Vertical Auto-Swing automatically moves the discharge louvres up and down to improve air distribution throughout the room.
Quiet Indoor Operation
Despite being the largest-capacity model in the Sensira range, the FTXC71EV1F indoor unit operates at sound pressure levels of approximately 48 / 42 / 38 / 31 dBA, depending on the selected fan speed.
On its Super Low setting, indoor sound pressure can be as low as 31 dBA.
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, while the Titanium Apatite Deodorising 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 energy-efficiency 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 air conditioners.
Auto Restart After Power Failure
The Sensira can remember its operating settings following a power interruption and resume operation using those settings when electricity is restored.
Self-Diagnosis for Easier Servicing
The FTXC-E Series incorporates a self-diagnosis function with digital display, providing diagnostic information that can assist technicians during troubleshooting and servicing.
Removable Drain Pan for Easier Maintenance
The larger FTXC60 and FTXC71 models include a removable drain pan, providing improved access during servicing and maintenance.

Who Is the Daikin Sensira 24 000 BTU Best Suited To?
The new Sensira 71 has been introduced for applications requiring more capacity than the previous Sensira models could provide.
Depending on the heat load and characteristics of the space, typical applications may include:
- Large lounges and living rooms
- Substantial open-plan living and dining areas
- Large entertainment spaces
- Large home studios
- Offices and similar appropriately sized spaces
The additional capacity does not mean that a 24 000 BTU air conditioner is automatically appropriate for every large room. Correct sizing should consider floor area, ceiling height, insulation, glazing, room orientation, sun exposure, occupancy and other heat loads.
