VRF,VRV difference

Question

VRF,VRV difference

Accepted Answer

VRF and VRV are both air conditioning systems that use refrigerant to cool or heat a space, but VRF is a more advanced version of VRV.

VRV stands for Variable Refrigerant Volume and is a trademark of Daikin Industries, while VRF stands for Variable Refrigerant Flow and is a generic term used by other manufacturers.
VRV systems have a limited number of indoor units that can be connected to a single outdoor unit, while VRF systems can handle a larger number of indoor units.
VRF systems use advanced controls to adjust the flow of refrigerant to each indoor unit based on its cooling or heating needs, while VRV systems have a fixed refrigerant flow rate.
VRF systems are more energy-efficient and offer greater flexibility in terms of zoning and temperature control than VRV systems.
Examples of VRF systems include Mitsubishi Electric's City Multi and Toshiba's SMMS-i, while examples of VRV systems include Daikin's VRV IV and Fujitsu's Airstage.
