The Value of VRF

Setting the Standard for Flexibility,
Efficiency & Performance

What exactly is Variable Refrigerant Flow? It’s an HVAC

system that uses refrigerant to heat and/or cool a space.

A multi-split solution, VRF systems can connect up to 64 indoor units to a single modular
outdoor unit system. The system calculates the refrigerant required by each indoor unit and
adjusts the amount provided to the fan coil units based on the space’s operating conditions.
In other words, it controls and varies the refrigerant flow to ensure the desired comfort level
of each space without over-cooling or over-heating.

How? VRF system outdoor units have all inverter-

SAMPLE APPLICATION: HOTEL

The Situation: A hotel in a national chain with over 100

rooms, this large new build required an HVAC system that
would provide maximum guest comfort while operating
quietly and taking up minimum space.

Minumum
Space
100+ Quiet
Rooms Operation

The Solution: Carrier VRF Heat Recovery

Given the number of indoor units needed and the limited space on each floor,
Carrier VRF heat recovery was the best system to satisfy the design. All refrigeration
distribution devices were placed on the top floor and then piped down through chases
to feed the rooms on floors two through seven. Outdoor units were cleanly installed
across the roof, providing easy access for maintenance and troubleshooting.

The Results: Because of the system’s small footprint and non-modular design,
the Carrier VRF heat recovery system reduced the amount of piping work needed
on-site. The system also provides simultaneous heating and cooling, extremely
quiet operation (as low as 58.4 dB(A)) and occupancy control via i-Vu Building
Automation System.

SAMPLE APPLICATION: ASSISTED LIVING

The Situation: An assisted living facility was renovating

an existing building that housed both long- and short-term
rehabilitation patients, as well as constructing a 37,000
square foot addition. As part of this renovation and expansion,
the company was looking for an HVAC system that could
provide zoned control and optimal comfort while helping
meet the required ventilation rates for assisted living facilities.

The Solution: Carrier VRF Heat Recovery

A 132-ton Carrier VRF heat recovery system met the project’s unique requirements
while providing segmented heating and cooling. The system also incorporated
i-Vu Building Automation System for greater occupancy control and advanced
system visibility.

The Results: Because of the system’s ability to deliver zone-by-zone control,

occupants and staff are provided with simultaneous heating and cooling for
individualized comfort. And, with DOAS units with enthalpy wheels for ventilation,
the system brings outside air into the space to help the facility meet its ventilation
rate requirements.

The Carrier VRF Multiport Distribution Controller (MDC) allows you to G G Twinning MDC Ports
connect up to 48 zones. The main multiport distribution controller can
connect up to two sub multiport distribution controllers. For indoor units
with capacities greater than 54 kBtu/h, two MDC ports must be twinned
using the Y-joint to create a single port. The two ports to be paired should
be next to each other. The first port of the pair should have an odd number
and the second port should be the next sequential even number.

24V INTERFACE – 40VM900008

The 24V Interface for Carrier VRF systems is a device that enables
the use of a conventional 24VAC thermostat with indoor units.
The Interface receives 24VAC signals for cool, heat and fan.
This translates these commands to the system’s communication
protocol and sends the commands to the indoor units over the HA/
HB communication bus.

LOW PROFILE “BUTTON” SENSOR – 40VM900009

The Low Profile “Button” Sensor is ideal for locations where

aesthetics are as important as the temperature measurement. The
inconspicuous wall sensor mounts easily by pushing through a small
7/16” hole and secured with a peel off tape strip. The only visible
portion is a flush 7/8” dot on the wall.
