Until recently I had never heard of a VRF system, however this type of system eliminates the single, large plus noisy central unit with multiple, smaller indoor air handlers that can be individually controlled! Variable Refrigerant Flow systems have the ability to regulate the amount of refrigerant supplied to each air handler, making them severely energy efficient.
The compressor can accurately identify the needs of each zone plus deliver the precise amount of refrigerant necessary for maintaining consistent comfort.
This innovation eliminates freezing plus warm spots plus effectively handles humidity issues, but while other types of systems are either blasting at max capacity or shut down completely, VRFs are designed to operate at varying speeds. They properly run at lower capacity less frequently, which consumes less energy. There’s the added perk of heat salvagey. The system captures heat that is expelled during the cooling process plus delivers this heat to other zones that require heating, and another benefit of a VRF system is quiet operation. The loud condensing unit is normally installed outside. The compact air handlers are especially quiet, plus 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 plus water pumps. They install absolutely plus without major disruption plus the modular design accommodates growing demands, however more air handlers can be incorporated as needed. An added plus surprising perk of a VRF system is the opportunity to simultaneously heat plus air condition different zones! Especially in commercial operations, it’s honestly possible to require cooling in unique areas while others need heat.
