what is the VRF system?
Variable Refrigerant flow (VRF) technology has been widely used for the past 30 years, especially in Asia and Europe. Increased efficiencies such as increased efficiency, flexibility and faster return on investment are some of the key factors for the newfound popularity in the United States since the turn of the century.
Variable Refrigerant flow Technology |
Basic Two Type:
VRF heat pump systems:
- All indoor units can either heat or cool (not at the same time). The fan and dry modes are available separately for each indoor unit. And they are the basic unit of the system
- The outdoor unit of the VRF system is the same size as other heat pumps and air conditioners. The indoor component of a VRF heat pump usually takes the form of a cassette, floor-mounted or wall-mounted unit, and is equipped with an outdoor unit via refrigerant piping.
- VRF units do not use ductwork, which frees up within square footage and makes them cheaper to install in buildings that do not have ductwork. That's the importance of this system.
Heat Recovery VRF system (VRF-HR) :
- Those systems are the most sophisticated ones, where cooling and heating may be available by each indoor unit, independently, at the same time. I want to learn more about how to integrate HVAC systems.
- Heating and cooling of different rooms or areas simultaneously. This Mid-Season is important for south-facing offices with Occupation Business Board Rooms or solar heat. So this system has good properties.
Manufacturing of VRF Piping
VRF Piping layout is software designed to design pipe sizes to meet the required capabilities and conditions, including HARA15. The piping layout is engineering. The size of the pipe is affected by the length of the pipe and the amount of fitting. When any of those factors changes, the designer engineer needs to insert new parameters to the piping design software to recalculate the new requirements. Those changes may affect the size of the pipes required and the refrigerant charge.
The Installation piping crew must follow the piping schematic product to the VRF and provide any changes to the design engineer before installation begins. The extra length of the pipe not only affects the size of the pipe, but the total refrigerant charge is required. The amount of refrigerant in the VRF system is more complex for a successful system, so any change in pipe length is very important. The actual length of install is the only accurate method of getting the right refrigerant charging amount. And it is very useful.
Advantages of VRF system:
- The VRF system is restricted by the spacing criteria between split installations.
- The maximum length of refrigerant pipework for the condensing unit and the evaporator one is specified.
- The ability to remove VRF or any other split system compressors is determined by All 'split' systems that are used to maintain pressure drop and proper return of oil to the system.
- So the maximum allowable vert is the total refrigeration pipework length.
