These systems work by utilizing individual air handlers for various zones of the building that are all attached to an outdoor compressor. The “VR” in VRV/VRF stands for “Variable Rate”, which represents these systems’ ability to adjust the flow of refrigerant going to each air handler as needed. This feature greatly increases the efficiency in large-scale applications and also allows for the simultaneous heating and cooling mentioned above.

What’s The Difference Between VRV And VRF?

There is no difference between VRV and VRF systems. The difference is entirely legal. VRV is an HVAC technology that was developed in the 1980s by a company called Daikin Industries. Daikin trademarked the technology as VRV which stands for “Variable Rate Volume”.

The technology eventually became known and used by other companies, who had to develop a term that wouldn’t infringe on Daikin Industries’ copyright on the term “VRV’. This led to the adaptation of the phrase “VRF” or “Variable Rate Flow” by the rest of the industry to avoid legal issues.

Benefits Of VRV/VRF

Being what is essentially the bleeding edge of large-scale HVAC technologies, VRV/VRF systems offer many benefits over other types of solutions. A few of the most obvious benefits enjoyed in buildings with VRV/VRF systems are:

• Highly energy efficient – As their name implies, VRV/VRF systems can actively monitor the temperature in each zone and adjust the rate of refrigerant accordingly. This means that instead of a simple on or off state, these units can function at partial capacity if that is all the energy that’s required.
• Zoned heating/cooling – Like mini-splits, using air handlers for individual zones allows for specified temperature control at each zone.
• Heat recovery – Further increasing efficiency, some VRV/VRF systems can utilize heat from one part of a building in another part of the building where it’s needed. Utilizing this heat energy, instead of letting it dissipate into air, goes a long way in increasing overall efficiency.
• No ductwork – It’s been reported that ductwork can account for up to a 30% loss in efficiency in an HVAC system. The removal of ductwork not only removes this potential for energy loss but also frees up the space that would have been required for ductwork.
• Long-term money savings – Most of the features mentioned above combine and have the potential in contributing to serious long-term savings.
