COMPARISION - VRF SYSTEM VS SPLIT & PACKAGED UNIT AIR-COND

VRF SYSTEM SPLIT & PACKAGED UNIT AIR-COND

- One set of outdoor unit. Optimize of the area usage. - Multiple set of outdoor units, required more space for
outdoor units.

- One single collective piping from outdoor to indoor - Multiple set of piping has to be lay to all the units.
units.

- Inverter fuzzy logic control electrical load regulation. - No electrical load regulation. System load is cut in and
Response speed and stability enhanced cut out.

- Precise temperature control. The temperature - Lack of precision temperature control. The temperature
fluctuation is +- 0.50C, (Good comfort ability). fluctuation at least 2~30C (Bad comfort ability).

- Piping length can go up to 160 meters total pipe length - Split unit maximum piping is 15 meters , great loss in
and the vertical lift are able to achieve 50m. the efficiency performance.

- Capability of superlink system central control. - No central control feature available.

- Able to interface with BMS system. - Not able to interface with BMS.

- Self Diagnostics capability available. Improvement of - No Self diagnostics capability available.

service ability. Failure of indoor and outdoor are shown (Required Longer troubleshooting time)
on the liquid crystal display on the remote controller.
Therefore shorten the time of trouble shooting.

- Automatic address setting function. - No failure code indication.

- No Automatic address setting function.

- VRV outdoor can be place at one location. Building - Every outdoor unit has to be place near the indoor unit
looks neat. or at the window of the building due to piping length
limitation. It looks messy.

- One set of outdoor unit involve in one system circuit. - More maintenance work incur due to more outdoor unit.
Relatively less maintenance.

- Inverter system by using inverter compressor. Capacity - Split unit only uses constant speed compressor. Capacity
range form 20%~130% (load regulation). range is 0 or 100% (no part load operation).

- VRF system uses soft start, ie it do not require auto - It require auto trans starter panel for 5HP and above
trans starter panel for all range of HP. (Additional cost), and more electrical load shall be
provided for starting the units.

- Self diagnose available. - Self diagnose not available.

- With the fully Inverter Control System, the electrical - Electrical consumption for the Split or Package Unit
consumption are basically able to save from 20% to will consume 20% to 30% more compare to Inverter
30% compare to conventional type. System.
