What are VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) and VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) systems?

Question

Accepted Answer

VRF and VRV systems are advanced HVAC systems that provide individual control over the temperature in different zones of a building.

VRF and VRV systems use refrigerant to transfer heat between the outdoor unit and multiple indoor units.
They are energy-efficient as they can vary the flow of refrigerant based on the heating or cooling requirements of each zone.
VRF systems are typically used for larger buildings with multiple zones, while VRV systems are a specific brand name for VRF systems manufactured by Daikin.
These systems offer precise temperature control, zoning capabilities, and can be integrated with building automation systems for enhanced efficiency.
VRF and VRV systems are popular choices for commercial buildings, hotels, and residential complexes.
