Free Webinar: Variable Refrigerant Flow/Volume (VRF/VRV) for Commercial Buildings, September 13, 9-11am PT
Event Description
Variable Refrigerant Flow/Volume (VRF/VRV) are building heating and cooling air conditioning systems which utilize refrigerant as the medium of heat transfer and are currently the standard for residential and commercial systems in Asia and Europe. They continue to gain market share in the United States as a reliable, modular, and highly efficient alternative to traditional residential fixed-speed compressor systems and commercial air/water heat transfer systems. Attendees will be provided with an overview of VRF heat pump and heat recovery systems, including a descriptive breakdown of indoor fan coils and outdoor condensers, system accessories and interfacing options for commercial applications. They will cover optimization for selection and basic design of VRV heat recovery and heat pump applications. Attendees will be able to recognize applications, where and when to use, and considerations for optimized installation of VRV systems, components, and accessories.
The objective of this course is that at the conclusion, participants will be able to:
Recognize heat pump vs heat recovery - where and when to use the systems
Recognize outdoor unit application - considerations for optimized installation of the condensing unit
Recognize branch selector boxes - single port vs multi port - optimizing heat recovery design
Recognize system accessories - options available to enhance system application
Discuss types of VRF systems
Design applications
Climate location
Heat Pump and Heat Recovery
Outdoor equipment and location
Branch Boxes
System Accessories
