Until recently I had never heard of a VRF system, this type of system eliminates the single, immense and noisy central component with multiple, smaller indoor air handlers that can be individually controlled, however variable Refrigerant Flow systems have the ability to regulate the amount of refrigerant supplied to each air handler, making them seriously energy efficient.
The compressor can accurately identify the needs of each zone and provide the precise amount of refrigerant necessary for maintaining consistent comfort.
This innovation eliminates frigid and warm spots and effectively handles humidity issues, while other types of systems are either blasting at max capacity or shut down completely, VRFs are designed to operate at varying speeds. They constantly run at lower capacity less frequently, which consumes less energy. There’s the added perk of heat reclaimy. The system captures heat that is expelled while in the cooling process and delivers this heat to other zones that require heating, then another benefit of a VRF system is quiet operation. The loud condensing component is normally installed outside. The compact air handlers are especially quiet, and there’s none of the noise acquaintanced with HVAC duct. VRFs are great for homes or commercial buildings with limited space. They eliminate fans, HVAC duct, bulky pipes to circulated fluids and water pumps. They install honestly and without major disruption and the modular design accommodates growing demands, but more air handlers can be incorporated as needed. An added and surprising perk of a VRF system is the choice to simultaneously heat and air condition unusual zones, but especially in commercial operations, it’s actually possible to require cooling in particular areas while others need heat.
