Daikin FTKM18PVMK inverter wall split air conditioner
The FTKM18PVMK indoor unit pairs with the RKM18PVMK outdoor unit for cooling-only operation with R-32 refrigerant. Its nominal T1 cooling capacity is 18,000 Btu/h. Its 1,050 mm-wide indoor unit combines 3D auto-swing with a quiet setting rated at 32 dB(A).
Comfort and control
The inverter swing compressor varies its output as cooling demand changes. A motion-detection sensor adjusts the temperature set point according to room occupancy, while Econo mode provides another way to manage operation. The wireless remote puts everyday settings within reach.
- 3D airflow: vertical and horizontal auto-swing help distribute air across the room.
- Turbo mode: supports quick cooling when needed.
- Quiet setting: reduces indoor sound compared with high fan speed; see the model-specific values below.
- Titanium apatite filter: included in the catalogue’s indoor feature list.
- Outdoor protection: standard anti-corrosion protection is listed for the series.

Choosing and installing your system
Capacity selection should account for the room’s heat load and installation conditions. Confirm pipe routing, electrical supply and clearances for the matched indoor and outdoor units. The catalogue lists integration with Daikin central control, such as i-Touch Manager, as an option requiring separate confirmation.
The catalogue marks the FTKM18PVMK / RKM18PVMK combination as not applicable for Kuwait.
