Why choose the VRF system

Clivet offers the widest range of capacities on the market (from 7 kW/2.5 HP to 270 kW/96 HP) with Full DC inverter technology for energy saving and maximum flexibility of application thanks to the extended connectable piping (up to a maximum of 1000 m). These features provide significant benefits:

  • Reduction of time and costs. Thanks to the simplified installation compared to traditional VRF systems, extra costs such as outdoor unit modules, additional piping, larger welds and longer installation times are eliminated;
  • The considerable capacity range reduces the overall dimensions by up to 25%.
High Efficiency

Thanks to a full DC inverter range (compressors, fans) and electronic controls that allow only the power actually required by the individual zones to be supplied, the VRF system offers high efficiency and energy savings.

System Flexibility and Modularity

The VRF system is able to meet the demands of air conditioning from small to large buildings, thanks to a wide range of units and extended cooling lengths.

The system architecture is designed to be totally modular, combining units and controls according to specific needs. The automatic unit addressing function, available as standard, greatly simplifies and speeds up the installation phase. 

Wide Operation Range and High Reliability

The correct functioning of the system is ensured up to -25 ° C in heating and from -15 ° C to 52 ° C in cooling.

Reliability is guaranteed by rigorous tests in the production phase and by multiple functions, including the rotation of the compressors for balancing the operating time and the backup in case of emergency in multi-module systems.

Local or Remote Multi-Zone Control 

The wide range of control systems makes it possible to take full advantage of the total independence of the terminals located in the different areas of the building, based on the specific requests.

Commands are available for local management (individual units or centralized), or remotely (via cloud from a smartphone, tablet or PC).

VRF system

The VRF system is the direct expansion solution for year round air conditioning, particularly suitable for commercial buildings, hotels and offices.
Both on the source side and on the use side, it is based on the direct heat exchange between refrigerant and environment.
The system terminals, ie the indoor units, are an integral part of the cooling circuit, acting as an evaporator in summer operation and as a condenser in winter operation.

Compared to the SPLIT system, the VRF is characterized by the presence of the electronic expansion valve on the individual indoor units, ensuring a greater extension of the system, in addition to a high number and total operation independence of the terminals.
The offer is completed by units for air renewal: HRV recuperators, direct expansion air handling units, ZEPHIR3 units with active thermodynamic recovery.
