Variable refrigerant flow

Popular solution across the world

Variable Refrigerant Flow systems (VRF) are quickly becoming popular for air conditioning solutions across the world. VRF systems not only provide flexible and energy efficient air conditioning, but also heating and hot water for residential and commercial applications.

Some of the features of this type of an air conditioning system with variable refrigerant flow include:

  • Cooling only, or reversible for heating, including heat recovery options
  • Air or water cooled systems
  • Variable capacity compressors
  • Optimised for a number of conventional and environmental refrigerants
  • Up to 64 indoor units with individual metering

Features and benefits

  • Compact, space-saving components

  • High energy efficiency

  • Optimised for environmentally friendly, low GWP refrigerants

  • Reduced applied costs and short payback times

  • Dedicated technical and customer service around the world

  • Eco labelling options
