5 main benefits of installing a VRV air conditioning system into your space

Do you need a new air conditioning system for your office this year? Here’s an option you should consider: a VRV System has many advantages for commercial spaces. The benefits of a VRF system include improved comfort, saving energy, and customizable operation. In a nutshell, these are the advantages of a VRV air conditioning system :

     . Consistent comfort

     . Quiet operation

     . Energy efficiency

     . Installation flexibility, great for tight spaces

     . Heat & cool simultaneously

     . Zoned heating & cooling

     . State-of-the-art controls

This operating model provides a level of flexibility that brings some excellent advantages for commercial use. Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of the VRF system.

Top five advantages of a VRV air conditioning system

1. Consistent comfort

The compressor unit of a VRF system has the ability to accurately identify the requirements of each zone and send the precise amount of refrigerant needed to each air handling unit. So, a computer room can get more cooling than a south-facing office that gets a lot of sun. This precise flow eliminates cold and hot spots and humidity issues, and facilitates the consistent comfort that will help promote employee productivity. When looking into the benefits of VRF systems, outfitting your building with consistent comfort is a no-brainer.

2. Quiet operation

With a VRF system, the louder condensing unit is typically located outside your building or in a mechanical room. And, the VRF’s smaller air handlers are smaller and quieter than those associated with a large central unit with bulky ductwork. So you won’t have loud AC noise disrupting business.

3. Energy efficiency

One of the appealing benefits of a VRF system is it promotes energy efficiency. Other systems run at a single speed: on or off. A VRF system is designed to run at varying speeds, suppling the precise amount of refrigerant necessary to cool a room under a room’s current condition. This results in the system running at a lower capacity and less frequently, which uses less energy. The system also has the ability to capture heat as part of the cooling process and channel this heat to other locations in the building, which may need heating.

4. Installation flexibility for small spaces

Another one of the advantages of a VRF system is its compact size and flexibility. A VRF system travels lightly. There’s no need to tie up space for a large maintenance room or service shafts. Distribution fans, hefty pipes to circulate fluids and water pumps are not required for its operation. Besides these benefits of a VRF system providing for an easier install, it also translates into less space for your air conditioning system and more space for your use. That’s a big plus considering the cost of real estate in New York City.

Since VRF systems do not normally require ducts and use relatively small air handlers, it gives you more flexibility for handler locations and obviates the need to take up wall and ceiling space for large ducts. This is welcome news to anyone who does not want to introduce ductwork into high ceilings. If you’re cramped for space, a VRF system is a space-saver because ductwork and mechanical rooms may not be not necessary.

5. Heat & cool simultaneously for zoned comfort

One of the attractive benefits of VRF a system is that it can deliver cooled air and heat simultaneously to different zones. VRV air conditioning systems capture heat recovered from the cooling process and can redistribute this excess heat to an area of your building that needs heat. Another one of the advantages of a VRF system is different heating andcooling zones can easily be accommodated. Often different rooms have different heating and cooling demands.
