VRF Air Con

Hybrid VRF is the latest development in air conditioning that optimises the benefits of refrigerant and water to deliver the best of both worlds. It combines the comfort and flexibility of  traditional VRF chilling but removes the need to use refrigerants in occupied spaces and, with this, the requirement for leak detection equipment. As legislation has become ever more stringent to protect the environment, for example F-Gas, R22 and BS EN378, it makes it easier for a business to achieve its CSR targets and reduces the expense and complications of compliance.

Why VRF Hybrid is really very clever:

• Hybrid Branch Controller (HBC)  This is the clever box that controls the system. It connects to an external City Multi unit using standard refrigerant pipes  and then on to indoor fan coils but now using water, all in its unique two-pipe system. This can provide cooling and heating to sixteen different ducted, cassette or floor-standing units.
• How effective is it?   Up to fifty individual areas or rooms can be heated and cooled simultaneous using two main HBC’s and two sub units, these connected to one City Multi outdoor unit. This creates a powerful system with centralised control and individual operation for simultaneous cooling or heating. All with the flexibility of VRF design, phased installation and no need for refrigerants in occupied rooms. It also reduces the total volume of refrigerant in the system.

Inverter technology is the big innovation in climate control. It optimises efficiency through a simple principle: to adjust the energy used to the precise requirements of the rooms in your building. Inverters are the ‘must have’ investment if you use your air conditioning all year round for heating as well as cooling.

The benefits are:

• Improved comfort   Fast start-up times and the continual adjustment of cooling and heating outputs ensure that the required room temperature is reached quickly and constantly maintained.They are quiet and there are no temperature fluctuations.
• Energy efficiency   Inverter match the power used to actual requirements – no more, no less – in this way energy consumptions can be up to 5o% less than a traditional system.
