Commercial Air Conditioning VRF

VRF / VRV Technology 

''Variable Refrigerant Flow''. It can easily be related to as the pinnacle of Air Conditioning Systems. It's a very sophisticated air conditioning system, based on several principles: Refrigerant only - where refrigerant is the only coolant material in the system (in contrary to the chilled water systems, where refrigerant is used for cooling/heating the water that is circulated throughout the whole system). Inverter compressors that allow lowering power consumption with partial cooling/heating loads. Several air handlers (indoor units) on the same refrigerant loop / circuit. Ability of modular expansion (especially applicable for large projects, that can grow in stages). Only heat and cool areas as required rather that starting the whole system to satisfy one areas temperatures requirements.

VRF Two Pipe System Types

Two Pipe systems. All the indoor units can either heat, or cool (not at the same time). Fan and Dry modes are available for each indoor unit independently. These systems are very useful in large open plan areas as they heat and cool the hot and cool pockets rather than the whole area, saving energy.

Three Pipe Heat Recovery Systems.

These systems are the most sophisticated, where cooling and heating may be available by each indoor unit, independently, at the same time. These systems work particularly well in scenarios where some units require cooling (eg sunlight through the windows) and others require heating (no sunlight). The system will actually use the heat it removed from the areas requiring cooling and transfer that the rooms requiring heating. This makes for a very efficient system as it is not using electricity to generate heat, it simply transfers it via its refrigerant.
