First developed in Japan by Daiken in the early 1980s, VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) technology is growing in popularity in the United States.
According to ASHRAE, VRF technology allows a system to control the amount of refrigerant flow, resulting in differing capacities and configurations.
The advantages of VRF technology include individualized comfort, simultaneous heating and cooling in different zones, and heat recovery from one zone to another.
While first cost of VRF systems is higher than more traditional systems, it is generally accepted that the return on investment is recouped in 5 years or less.
EnviroControl Systems offers experience in VRF technology in a variety of applications including retail, schools, and historic reuse projects.
