15 VRF Technology Presented by Meghan Quinn, PE

16 VRF/VRV What is VRF? Variable Refrigerant Flow (Volume) Heat Pump vs. Heat Recovery Air Cooled vs. Water Cooled

17 VRF Components Ceiling Register FCU Selector Box Wall Mounted FCU Ducted FCU Refrigerant Piping Condensing Unit

18 VRF Pros and Cons Pros: Zoning/Temperature Control Energy Savings Acoustics Water Conservation (Air Cooled) Cons: Not the Traditional HVAC Solution High quantity of refrigerant in system Building height limitations Restrictions with core shell/ti designs

19 Zone/Temperature Control

20 Benefit - Energy Savings High Efficiency Lower Pump Energy Heat Recovery Energy Recovery Ventilator

21 Heat Pump Heating only or Cooling only All Zones Same Mode Cooling Cooling Cooling Cooling

22 Heat Recovery Synchronous cooling and heating in different zones Cooling Heating Cooling Heating

23 Energy Recovery Ventilator Outdoor Air Indoor Air Exhaust Air Supply Air

24 VRF Considerations in Building Design Ventilation Strategies Component location piping restrictions Location of Equipment Core & Shell vs. TI

25 Ventilation Strategies OSA Unit SA SA Delivered Adjacent to the Fan Coil Unit Delivered Directly to the Fan Coil Unit Delivered Directly to the Zone

26 Refrigerant Piping Piping Limits Total elevation Maximum separation between indoor units Maximum distance between first branch and farthest indoor unit Total piping length Piping Installation Insulate piping Piping installed level

27 Refrigerant Piping ASHRAE 15 Step 1: Calculate Total lbs of Refrigerant Largest Circuit Not sum of all circuits Each type of Refrigerant Step 2: Calculate Space Volume for Dilution Volume of Smallest occupied space Include plenums, rooms, corridors if permanently connected Step 3: Compare to RCL

28 Step 3 Compare lbs/1000 ft 3 R-410a - ASHRAE Standard : RCL = 26 lbs/1000 ft 3 What if Charge exceeds RCL?! Reduce refrigerant or dilute by increasing space volume

29 Polling Questions Todays webcast will include multiple choice polling questions. Please make your selections to the right of this screen.

30 Air Cooled vs. Water Cooled Air Cooled VRF Uses the Atmosphere Needs no water Restrictions on piping limits Water Cooled VRF Uses water as heat transfer medium Ancillary Equipment needs higher pressure rating Condensing units can be located inside

31 Air Cooled vs. Water Cooled Air Source system Water Source system

32 Water Cooled Applications Hot Water Storage Tank Indoor Unit High temperature Multi V Outdoor Unit Mid temperature

33 Locating Equipment Air Cooled Exterior Units Condenser Units OSA Units Interior Units Branch Selector Boxes (BSB s, BCB s, etc) Fan Coil Units

34 Locating Equipment Water Cooled Exterior Units Cooling Tower Boiler OSA Units Interior Units Branch Selector Boxes (BSB s, BCB s, etc) Fan Coil Units Condensing Units (if water cooled)

35 VRF Applications Large Offices High Rise Residential Core & Shell TI Fit-outs

36 Large Office Buildings Interior & Exterior zones Individualized zones/comfort Tenant fit-out post construction

37 High Rise Buildings Limited roof space Modular equipment Multiple tenants Tenant fit-out post construction

38 Installed - Condenser Farm

39 Installed - Refrigerant Piping

40 Lessons Learned Specifying Units Manufacturer Differences Warranty Lengths Energy Modeling Metering
