VRF/VRV System: Installation & Maintenance

Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems are used for effective and efficient climate control in buildings. This is an advanced solution that provides optimal conditions for living and working. The use of this type of equipment significantly reduces energy consumption. Our company has been installing VRF systems for 16 years. We have a team of specialists, modern equipment, and the necessary knowledge and skills for high-quality installation and repair of air conditioning equipment. We work in Salt Lake City and other cities in the district. If you want a reliable partner near you, contact us.

Where is it appropriate to install VRF systems?

Modern technologies allow for the installation of VRF in buildings and premises of various types. However, there are places where their use is especially appropriate and profitable.

• Office buildings – Thanks to precise regulations, it is easy to ensure comfort for each employee and reduce electricity bills.
• Hotels – After installing the VRF system, you can adjust the temperature in individual rooms. All guests get comfortable conditions, and the owner saves money.
• Shopping centers – For large open spaces and shops, VRF is one of the best solutions. After all, you can effectively manage the load on the system depending on the number of customers and external conditions.
• Medical facilities – In hospitals and clinics, VRF systems precisely control the temperature and humidity of the air, which is critical for patients and medical staff.
• Mixed-use buildings – For residential buildings with commercial spaces on the first floor, personalizing climate settings in all parts of the building is easy, considering the difference in modes and requirements.
• Large buildings with high internal traffic – In airports, exhibition centers, and other public buildings with complex configurations, VRF satisfies the need for air conditioning.

Installation features

Before installing a VRF, it is important to know all the manufacturer's requirements and building codes to ensure the safety and efficiency of the equipment. Installation of climate equipment is a complex process that requires professional knowledge and experience. Our specialists have undergone appropriate training and have permits for such work. They constantly improve their professional level to guarantee quality services.

Main stages of VRF installation

• Planning and design – These include selecting the optimal system configuration, placing internal and external blocks, as well as calculating the power and length of lines. It is important to develop the project of VRF systems before starting repair work in the building.
• Preparation of work – This includes preparing the location of external and internal blocks, including cleaning the site and preparing the power supply and ventilation systems.
• Installation of external units – These are placed on roofs or the ground next to the building. During installation, it is necessary to ensure the blocks and connection to the electrical network are correctly fastened.
• Installation of indoor units and pipelines – These are placed indoors and are connected to outdoor units with the help of pipelines.
• Electrical connections – Work includes connecting external and internal units to the power grid and controllers.
• Vacuuming and filling – Work is carried out on pipelines to remove air and moisture. After that, the systems are filled with refrigerant recuperators using special equipment.
• Setup and testing – Control parameters are adjusted, various operating modes are tested, and possible leaks and other problems are checked.

After completing all these steps, the VRF system is ready for operation, and the client receives any relevant documents and quality guarantees. Our company provides a full range of installation, repair, service, and post-warranty services. Entering into a contract for equipment maintenance is beneficial. Every year, the number of our regular customers grows because we know how to solve complex problems in a way that does not create discomfort for customers.

VRF maintenance

After the successful installation of the VRF system, it is time to maintain it. Highly qualified specialists do this work. The process includes:

• inspecting all system components regularly;
• cleaning the filter;
• controlling the cooling recuperator level;
• performing other procedures aimed at maintaining the optimal operation of the equipment.

There are no small things in the maintenance of VRF systems. In addition to checking its operation, it is important to pay attention to the condition of specific components, such as compressors, fans, and heat exchangers. Regular maintenance and replacement of defective parts and assemblies prevents serious breakdowns and ensures the continuous operation of air-conditioning equipment in any condition. The work is carried out according to safety standards and does not affect the work process of the enterprise.

Repair of VRF systems

Despite the high reliability of VRF systems, they can sometimes fail. Specialists with considerable work experience repair VRF systems. They can quickly find faulty nodes and accurately diagnose problems, and they work neatly and harmoniously. Some nodes and parts that may require repair or replacement include:

• Compressors – Damage leads to a decrease in system power or its complete inoperability.
• Fans – Heat exchange worsens, and efficiency decreases when they fail;
• Heat exchangers – Pollution or corrosion reduces heat exchange, as they are responsible for the transfer of heat between the refrigerant and air;
• Electronic boards – Damage or failure leads to the loss of communication between components;
• Pipelines and connections – Damage to pipelines or poor connection leads to leakage of the refrigerant and a decrease in pressure in the system.

It is important to promptly identify and correct problems with outdoor units, fan coils and piping. This will ensure efficient and reliable operation of the VRF system. Quick and professional troubleshooting minimizes system interruptions and helps to maintain a comfortable climate in the building.

Our company has spare parts available for repair. When necessary, we will deliver them without delay. We are well-oriented in the climatic equipment market and advise which equipment to choose for modernization. We can replace outdated equipment with modern energy-saving options.
