Common Issues With VRF System Installation

  Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems are turning into an increasingly popular HVAC solution for commercial construction projects around the country. They offer numerous benefits that can be acknowledged by architects, engineers, contractors, and end-users. A portion of the benefits incorporates energy efficiency, flexible installation, and local controls for end-users. I started my career by spending two years as a salesperson for a VRF manufacturer , and coming up next are a few perceptions I made during that time about issues that commonly caused problems during installation. Two Common VRF System Installation Problems Refrigerant piping Refrigerant piping in a VRF system resembles the piping or ductwork of traditional air or hydronic systems and is one component where slip-ups are commonly made in light of the fact that the installation is different for each system that is introduced. Manufacturers of VRF systems have design programs that will produce piping outlines that ...

Why More Schools Are Switching to VRF HVAC Technology

  Variable refrigerant flow is an inventive HVAC technology that provides business and homeowners with an affordable and efficient alternative to traditional HVAC systems. VRF is a large-scale, precise zoning system that can perform at a high capacity with the capacity to customize temperatures in various areas of the building while at the same time accommodating varying comfort needs. The systems are sleek, compact, and easy to introduce while giving quiet operation.  How VRF Benefits School and University Operations  Regardless of whether they are supplanting older HVAC systems, working on renovating existing buildings, or constructing new ones, schools and universities around the U.S. are regularly choosing VRF systems over traditional HVAC equipment. The following are only a couple of reasons why schools and universities are doing the switch to VRF. Affordability  While investigating "complete" system costs, VRF systems are frequently more affordable to purchase...

What is VRF air conditioning? What types of VRF air conditioning systems?

A VRF air conditioning system is comprised of one external unit and multiple internal units.  The primary concern that makes a VRF system not the same as different kinds of air conditioning is that you can control each internal unit independently. This is called zonal control. For instance, you can have distinctive internal units set at various temperatures, or make them run while different ones are turned off....
