Recently, Daikin VRV and Mitsubishi Electric VRF have become a popular choice of heating and cooling due to their capacity and flexibility in use. Residents of Melbourne now opt for these units because they are cost saving, energy efficient and offer individual control to each head. For instance, each Daikin VRV and Mitsubishi Electric VRF series can be used to connect between 12 to 14 indoor units to one outdoor unit. These heads can then be set to any mode, at any temperature for complete control. Hence, these systems are much larger than an average multi-head system and are not restricted by the user setting the heads to the same mode, i.e. all on heating, or all on cooling at the same time.

What is a VRV / VRF system?

A VRV / VRF unit is a larger scaled multi-head unit for residential and commercial buildings. Developed by Daikin, the system makes use of variable refrigerant flow control as the heating and cooling medium. Thus, residents are able to control the temperature of each room or floor in the building. It offers residents with independent control of indoor units and the luxury of distributed airflow. The system is able to provide simultaneous heating and cooling by varying and controlling the refrigerant flow through several evaporator coils. With VRV / VRF, you can now provide heating and cooling for all indoor units simultaneously.

Difference Between Daikin VRV & Mitsubishi Electric VRF Systems?

VRV stands for Variable Refrigerant Volume, while VRF stands for Variable Refrigerant Flow. Essentially, both systems are practically the same. However, VRV is copyrighted by Daikin. Both systems operate using the same mechanism of simultaneous heating and cooling.
