- This type of system consists of a number of indoor wall or ceiling mounted evaporator units (possibly up to 100) connected to a modular external condensing units
- The refrigerant flow is varied using either an inverter controlled variable speed compressor, or multiple compressors of varying capacity in response to changes in the cooling or heating requirement within the air conditioned space.
- The Heat Pump system enables switching between the heating and cooling modes but never simultaneously.
- In more sophisticated Heat Recovery versions, the indoor units may operate in heating or cooling mode independently of others.
- A Heat Recovery VRV contains possible energy savings when heating and cooling are required simultaneously in different zones.
- This system allows for minimal outdoor components and greater indoor capacity.
- Applications can vary from office, retail, hotel, and luxury homes.
- Indoor applications can very between wall mounted, cassettes, ducted hideaways and heat pumps.
