5 DEFINITION What is Variable Refrigerant Flow? ASHRAE Journal, April 2007 The term Variable Refrigerant Flow refers to the capability of an HVAC system to control the amount of refrigerant flowing to each of the indoor units/evaporators, enabling the use of multiple evaporators of differing capacities and configurations, individualized comfort control, simultaneous heating and cooling in different zones with heat recovery from one zone to another. AHRI Standards & Policy Committee, June 2009 Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) System is an engineered direct exchange (DX) multisplit system incorporating at least one variable capacity compressor distributing refrigerant through a piping network to multiple indoor fan coil units each capable of individual zone temperature control, through a zone temperature control devices and common communications network. Variable refrigerant flow implies three or more steps of control on common, interconnecting piping. 5

28 ASHRAE Winter Conference 2016 System Operation Factors Load Management Cooling Operation Heating Operation Heat Recovery Operation Two-pipe systems Three-pipe systems Multi-layer heat recovery in watersource VRF systems Defrost Operation Oil Recovery Operation Humidity Control 28
29 Load Management Indoor units control capacity through an EEV or LEV Outdoor unit conducts load management through inverter-driven variable-speed compressor Alternative combo for varying capacity and variable-speed outdoor unit fans 29
30 Cooling Operation Outdoor Units Compressor(s) adjust to match total system load by varying refrigerant flow with compressor speed or capacity control Main driver of system efficiency Indoor Units Variable cooling capacities LEVs/EEVs are controlled to maintain a target superheat value or evaporator temp Temp difference (setpoint temp zone temp) Then superheat (vapor pipe thermistor temp liquid pipe thermistor temp) And vice versa 30
31 Heating Operation Outdoor Units EEV/LEV electronic expansion valve opens and closes to maintain target superheat value Main driver of system efficiency Indoor Units EEV/LEV controlled to maintain subcooling Temp difference (setpoint temp zone temp) Then subcooling And vice versa 31
32 Heat Recovery Operation Two-Pipe Systems Three-Pipe Systems Multilayer Heat Recovery in Water- Source VRF Systems 32
33 Two-Pipe Heat Recovery Systems In a balanced system, peak zone heating and cooling loads are equal: 1. Refrigerant gas is delivered from outdoor unit heat recovery control unit (HRCU) 2. Subcooled refrigerant or refrigerant gas indoor units in cooling or heating mode 3. Refrigerant vapor leaves indoor unit HRCU 4. Vapor outdoor unit where it is compressed 5. Cycle repeats 33
34 Three-Pipe Heat Recovery Systems HRCU controls direction of refrigerant flow through indoor units In cooling mode, indoor unit is an evaporator Low pressure vapor pipe OPENS High pressure vapor pipe CLOSES In heating mode, indoor unit is a zoned condenser Low pressure vapor pipe CLOSES High pressure vapor pipe OPENS Ports 6 34
35 Multi-layer Heat Recovery in Water-Source VRF 2 levels of heat recovery: Heat energy exchanged between zones at refrigerant level Heat energy exchanged between systems through water loop 35
36 Defrost Operation Systems that require heating operation to shut off: Reverse refrigerant flow Outdoor unit coil becomes a condenser to melt frost Indoor units switch off Systems that do not require heating operation to shut off: Split-coil configuration in outdoor unit(s) defrosts only half the coil at a time, Defrost each outdoor unit separately, or Defrost outdoor units on a single system together 36
37 Oil Recovery Management Manufacturers may include oil separator for each compressor in system To reclaim small amount of oil that settles in system: Controls open EEV/LEV in all indoor units after a set period of compressor operation Compressor switches to a predetermined speed to ensure oil in system flushes back to the compressor sump Oil recovery cycle lasts from 3-6 min Included in AHRI testing if expected to occur every 2 hours or less 37
38 Humidity Control Indoor unit dry mode activates when zone temp > dew-point temp A supplemental humidification unit can be used through the ventilation air system to Humidify cool dry supply air through moist exhaust air Send moisture from supply air to the dry exhaust air 38

40 Water-Source VRF Systems High annual system COP levels Consistent performance Low-or-high ambient heating or cooling No defrost cycles Multi-layer heat recovery Nominal capacities for entering water temp: Heating - 21 C Cooling - 29 C 40
41 Air-Source VRF Systems External ambient design applications between 115 and -20 F High-sensible-heat-ratio cooling applications External ambient heating-dominant applications lower than -13 F Supplemental Heating Strategies to offset ambient derating at lower temperatures - Zone or Condensing Unit Side 41
42 Low External Ambient Heating Dominant Applications Four strategies: Integration with supplemental heating sources Water-source VRF systems High-heating-performance air-source VRF units Locating air-source unit in a temperate or controlled ambient environment 42
43 Integration with Supplemental Heating Sources Supplemental heating components can be enabled based on: Preset ambient temperature measured at outdoor unit Zone-by-zone basis 43
44 High-Heating Performance Air-Source VRF Units 100% nominal heating performance as low as -15 C ambient and 80% heating output at -25 C Strategies used to achieve above levels include: Flash injection technology Staged compression cycle with intermediate economizer 44
45 Flash Injection Technology Flash injection cycle only operates in heating mode Increased heating output at lower ambient temperatures Compressor speed is optimized based on the circuit load 45
46 Staged Compression Cycle Alternative approach to achieving highertemperature outputs at lower ambient conditions Adopts compound compression with intermediate economizers 46
47 Generating Radiant Heating/Cooling and Domestic Hot Water System includes a refrigerant-water indoor heat exchange module with integrated controls Strategies for achieving each capability include: Radiant floor or cooling/heating panel that receives water from a refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger replaces indoor unit(s) VRF system can generate domestic hot water with leaving water temp 71 C by using a heat exchanger with a booster refrigeration cycle Refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger can be used for preheating purposes 47
48 VRF System Design Example 1. Performing a Load-Profile Analysis 2. System Type Selection, Zoning and Potential for Heat Recovery 3. Accurately Sizing Outdoor & Indoor Units 4. Selecting Indoor Units 5. Ventilation Air Strategy 6. Refrigerant Piping 48
49 Performing a Load-Profile Analysis Careful planning at the design stage Detailed analysis of project needs Building s annual H/C load profiles are required before equipment is selected and sized 49
50 System Type Selection, Zoning and Potential for Heat Recovery System selection driven by determining best balance between operating costs and capital costs per unit area. A complete energy analysis of the building: To evaluate system type(s) To determine most appropriate system for application 50
51 Accurately Sizing Outdoor & Indoor Units Factors to consider include: Outdoor unit size: Based on actual peak cooling or heating load Effect of local ambient conditions on system performance Derating factor: Verifies chosen system will provide the required capacity at design temps Connected nominal capacity of indoor units is within operating parameters of selected system 51
52 Design Example: Outdoor Unit Sizing Outdoor Unit Sizing is based on actual peak cooling or heating load, whichever is higher. Peak cooling load at 3:00pm in August = 27.5 kw Peak heating load at 8:00pm in January = 21.7 kw 28 kw ODU should be selected: 28 kw cooling load 31.7 kw heating load Account for derate and corrected heating capacity factors: Heating: Design winter ambient = 9 C, Derate factor = 0.74 Refrigerant piping length correction factor at 37 m = 0.98 Corrected heating capacity = = 23 kw Cooling: Design summer ambient = 34.4 C db, Derate factor = 1.00 Refrigerant piping length correction factor at 37 m = 0.98 Corrected cooling capacity = = 27.6 kw 52
53 Selecting the Indoor Units Factors to consider: Peak cooling and heating capacities Ratio of sensible to latent cooling load Air change rate (following ASHRAE Standard 62 criteria) Sound performance criteria Terminal unit air-side distribution and location restrictions Ventilation air strategy Any integration with supplemental heating components
54 Design Example: Indoor Unit Sizing Connected nominal capacity of IDU must fall within operating parameters of the selected system: VRF HP systems with a connected nominal capacity of up to 130% of OFU nominal capacity. Total indoor unit connected capacity = 35.8 kw Nominal outdoor unit capacity is 28 kw Therefore, 35.8 kw/28 kw = 128% The reception area requires other design considerations: Peak cooling load = 6.6 kw Peak heating load = 5.5 kw Air change rate = 4 ach Sound performance criteria = NC 35 Ventilation supply = 0.04 L/s Designer could choose a ceiling-recessed IDU with: Nominal cooling output of 7 kw Nominal heating output of 7.9 kw Sound performance rating of NC 30 Nominal airflow rate of L/s 54
55 System Ventilation Air Strategy Three main strategies: Direct Integrated Decoupled Selection depends on: Climate Application Equipment type 55
56 Refrigerant Piping Design Refrigerant liquid and gas piping sizes System design verification based on: Max height and length differences Ratio of indoor unit to outdoor unit nominal capacity Equipment bill of materials/quantities Project numbering and product specifications Control and power schematics 56
57 Local System Control Individual control by local controllers Temperature sensing at the return air or local controller Several indoor units can be grouped together under one local controller (shown above). Grouped indoor units may operate under individual control but must function in same mode Functions include: Local setpoint control Scheduling and setback capability Cooling/heating/auto modes Fan-coil/fan speed control 57
58 Central System Control Users can monitor and optimize the operation of multiple zones, including any decentralized compatible energy recovery ventilators Functionality offers: Seasonal scheduling Remote monitoring and diagnostics Ability to integrate building plans and schematics System energy management such as sliding temperature control, optimized start-up control, and setback capabilities 58
59 Remote System Monitoring and Control Users can access system remotely for: Operation Monitoring Optimization Access can be secured through: Web-based access licenses Manufacturer-specific software tools 59
60 Gateway Control to Integrate with Third-Party, Protocols, Devices or Systems VRF systems can monitor and control third-party devices through network-based control components. VRF systems may be integrated with building management systems (BMS) through a single-interface module that communicates with industry standard communication protocols. 60
61 Safety Considerations for Refrigerants ASHRAE Standard 15 specifies: Safe design, construction, installation, operation and inspection of mechanical refrigeration systems To successfully apply ASHRAE Standard 15 to a project requires: Classification and RCL of the refrigerant used Classification of occupancy type in which indoor unit or piping will be located Total amount of refrigerant used in system Any individual occupied zone(s) geometry and connected zones Methodology to calculate maximum amount of refrigerant that can be safely dispersed into a specific zone NFPA Standard 70 specifies: Options available to manage smaller spaces ASHRAE Standard 34 lists the most current information related to: Refrigerant designations, safety classifications, and refrigerant concentration limits (RCL) 61

76 Why Do the RCL Values Sometimes Differ from Those in ASHRAE 34? The value listed in CSA B52 Table 1 references the allowed % volume of refrigerant which is equivalent to 69,100 ppm/v (6.9% vol.) of refrigerant. This is the value used in calculating RCL when a building is located at 1500 m (or higher) above sea level taking into account for the adjustments in air density and associated impact on oxygen levels. The value listed in ASHRAE 34 Table 1 references the allowed % volume of refrigerant which is equivalent to 140,100 ppm/v (14% vol.) of refrigerant. This is the value used in calculating RCL when a building is located at sea level. The adjustment factor for RCL considering ODL and ATEL. For a 100 m above sea level RCL = lbs/1000 ft 3
77 Refrigerant Concentration Levels Evaluating R 410 A ATEL & ODL Location Altitude, m ATEL, kg/m 3 ODL, kg/m 3 R-410 A RCL, lbs/1000 ft 3 Halifax 145 m Quebec City 98 m Montreal 233 m Ottawa 70 m Toronto 105 m Winnipeg 238 m Saskatoon 481 m Calgary 1084 m Edmonton 671 m Vancouver 152 m The lowest value of ATEL vs. ODL must be applied in each case 77

79 What if the Refrigerant Concentration Exceeds the Code Levels? 1. Reduce the system refrigerant volume Decentralize Condensing Units/System CU 10T IU IU IU IU IU IU CU 5T CU 5T IU IU IU IU IU IU 79
80 What if the Refrigerant Concentration Exceeds the Code Levels? 1. Reduce the system refrigerant volume Re-evaluate VRF System Selection - Heat Recovery vs. Heat Pump VRF System N Heat Pump System # 1 Heat Pump System # 2 S 80
81 What if the Refrigerant Concentration Exceeds the Code Levels? 2. Increase the refrigerant dilution volume Re-evaluate System Zoning IU 1000 ft ft ft 3 Connecting Spaces - Total Dilution Volume = 3000 ft 3 Code Table 1 Note (c) When the air duct system serves several enclosed spaces, the permissible quantity of refrigerant in the system shall not exceed the amount determined by using the total volume of those spaces in which the airflow cannot be reduced to less than one-quarter of its maximum when the fan is operating. 81
82 What Next if the Refrigerant Concentration Exceeds the RCL Levels? 2. Increase the refrigerant dilution volume Re-evaluate Dilution Transfer Openings ASHRAE Non-connecting Spaces Where a refrigerating system or part of therefore is located in one or more enclosed occupied spaces that do not connect through permanent openings or HVAC ducts, the volume of the smallest occupied space shall be used to determine the refrigerant quantity limit in the system. The Japanese Refrigeration Standard [JRA-GL13] defines a permanent opening as one that has an area of 0.15% or more of the total floor area of the smaller enclosed occupied space in which refrigerant-containing parts are located. ISO/FDIS Dilution transfer openings for natural convection Dilution Transfer Area Opening = x M/(QLMV * V) where, A = required opening area, m 2 M = refrigerant charge, kg V = room volume, m 3 QLMV = RCL is the maximum refrigerant concentration for the space, kg/m 3 82
83 System Expansion for Future Reconfiguration During design phase, designer and client can discuss any possible future or changing needs within the building envelope Easy system expansion or reconfiguration as building needs change, like: Upsizing VRF outdoor units to anticipate supplementary indoor units Indoor units can be added to the VRF system Indoor units can be exchanged for different models or capacities 83
84 Optimizing VRF Systems Minimize Environmental Impact Part-load capabilities, modular design, zoned approach, heat recovery operation, and use of VFD compressors provide comfort while consuming less energy Factors that increase efficiency: Correct sizing System control Proper maintenance Correct installation Maximizing heat recovery potential Zone control and energy performance optimization

90 Complete Building Integration with the Environment 90
91 Where Do I Start and Where Do I Finish? Five key strategies for optimizing the performance of building systems: 1. Where feasible, reduce the total output or the duty seen by the system. 2. Make use of available environmental resources (thermal for HVAC systems). 3. Optimize the efficiency of the individual components of the system. 4. Accurate system control and functional coordination of the components. 5. Where possible, offset system energy input with renewable energy sources. 91
