Daikin VRV®III Heating Only: the economical heating solution for public buildings
Governments and public authorities are expected to deal wisely with expenditures on public buildings. Thus, the lowest possible heating cost is to everyone’s advantage, especially when the same heating system is able to ensure optimum comfort for the building’s occupants and contribute to reduced CO2 emissions. The solution that does it all: Daikin VRV®III Heating Only.
Economy, low emissions…
The VRV®III Heating Only system by Daikin uses renewable energy from the outdoor air to drive the heating process. It generates 4 kW of usable heat for every 1 kW of electricity consumed, which makes it much more efficient than heating systems that burn fossil fuels. Hence this system reduces both the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of a building. Even when the electricity used comes from non-renewable sources, CO2 emissions are still much lower than boilers that burn fuel oil or natural gas. Thus VRV®III Heating Only reduces a building’s heating costs and its environmental footprint.
The variable refrigerant flow concept behind the VRV® technology was developed by Daikin, and has been improved continuously over the past 25 years. It is an ideal solution when buildings have separate zones with individual heating requirements.
… and optimum comfort
VRV®III Heating Only uses inverters to dynamically adapt compressor speed – and thus heating output – to actual building demand. The system’s full capacity can be used for quick warm up times, and once the rooms are at their optimum temperature, the system throttles back, generating just enough heat to efficiently maintain comfort levels. VRV®III Heating Only also quickly responds to any changes in outdoor and indoor temperatures. Each indoor zone can be controlled individually. Hence, occupants enjoy optimum temperatures, ventilation and humidity, while the system operates at peak efficiency.
Efficient heat for every application
VRV®III Heating Only is designed for buildings of all sizes with diverse heating needs. It is ideal for public buildings in climates where summer cooling is not required. Outdoor units from 25 to 170 kW support up to 64 separate indoor units, with each indoor unit receiving exactly the heat it needs. Long piping lengths are possible and the system’s modular construction results in quick installation. Start-up costs can be spread with phased installation, and of course, there is no longer any need for fuel storage tanks and pumps.
Fifteen different indoor units are supported, including ceiling mounted, floor-standing and wall mounted models. Ventilation and Biddle air curtains can be integrated, and the system supports a wide range of control possibilities, including multiple building monitoring from a central location via Internet.
In short, VRV®III Heating Only is an ideal heating solution for public buildings in climates where summer cooling is unnecessary. It offers top efficiency, low operating costs and reduced CO2 emissions, while retaining optimum comfort throughout the building.
