International. When Daikin launched the VRV HVAC system in 1982, it introduced the world's first variable refrigerant flow control. Also known as VRF, variable refrigerant flow, this technology only circulates the minimum amount of refrigerant needed during an individual heating or cooling period. This mechanism offered end-users the opportunity to individually control several HVAC zones at once.
What is the great achievement of this technology? VRV alternates the coolant volume of a system to suit the precise requirements of the building. Only a minimal amount of energy is necessary for the system to maintain setpoint temperatures and ensure shutdown when no occupants are detected in the room. This unique mechanism achieves more long-term sustainability, as end users save on energy costs while reducing a system's carbon emissions.
The Daikin VRV system has been adopted by markets around the world for 30 years, during which time it has evolved, adding new features to meet the growing demands of the market. From increasing load capacity to incorporating more recovery technologies, its function is to achieve the best in comfort, efficiency and reliability.
Today, with its VRV IV system, Daikin sets new standards of efficiency for buildings, interior comfort for users, ease of installation for installers and adaptability to the needs of the consultant. "Daikin's total VRV solution can be used to manage the building's energy consumption, for huge cost savings. Therefore, we have not only worked on making our indoor units more efficient and easy to install, but we have also done so to increase the efficiency, comfort and ease of installation of all other components," says Alex Arencibia, Sales and Product VRV Manager, Daikin Applied Latin America.
Alongside its VRV IV, Daikin proudly displays its iTouch Manager (iTM) BACnet Client Option, an advanced and cost-effective solution for building management system (BMS) applications. This option provides more flexibility to enhance the function of the iTouch Manager (iTM) as a mini BMS. In addition, with this new option, the iTouch Manager (iTM) can manage DOAS systems and other third-party equipment via the BACnet/IP protocol. By registering computers connected to a BACnet server as management points in the iTouch Manager (iTM), it is now possible to monitor and control the equipment through it.
With solutions tailored to the needs of your building, Daikin continues to lead the market, ready to continue responding to the HVAC demands of today's smart buildings.
