Daikin Introduces the MBVB and MBVK Modular Blowers

Daikin Introduces the MBVB and MBVK Modular Blowers

Daikin is introducing new variable-speed modular blowers to replace the MBVC blower.  In addition, new electric heat kits for the new blowers are also being rolled out.

The Need for New Models:

• The current MBVC is not in compliance with UL Standard 60335 2-40, also known as UL2-40.
• Current electric heat kits for the blowers don’t comply with UL2-40.
• New models will help with confusion about when to use the “00” blowers and when to use the “01” blowers.

What’s Changing & What’s Staying the Same:

• The new MBVB replaces the MBVC “01” models.
  • The old and new models both use the ComfortBridge control system.
  • Setup with the CoolCloud HVAC application will continue.
  • Download the CoolCloud HVAC application via Google Play or on the App store.
• The new MBVK replaces the MBVC “00” models.
  • Both the old and the new models will work with the Amana S-Series and Goodman SD-Series system.
• Physical sizing will continue to stay the same.
• Performance and efficiency will not change.

Keep in mind that due to new model numbers, models will require new AHRI rating numbers.

• The new MBVB and MBVK blowers are UL2-40 compliant and require the new UL2-40 compliant heat kits.
• The MBVC blower is non-UL2-40 compliant and requires either a non-UL2-40 heat kit or a TUTCO heat kit.

Transition

HVAC Distributors will continue to stock the old models, then transition to the new models when inventory is depleted.
