Daikin Australia has launched the newest addition to its VRV range – the VRV R Series (REYQ-BYM).
The sixth-generation model enables simultaneous cooling and heating operation in a single VRV system and boasts a number of improvements over previous generations.
The new system was designed for both single and multi‑module combinations that help to reduce the overall space required for mechanical equipment and the number of electrical and piping connections.
Single modules starting at 8HP capacity are now available in three sizes thanks to the addition of a large-capacity XL chassis with 22 and 24HP (67.0kW) capacity that sits at 1,750mm wide x 765mm deep x 1,660mm tall.
This represents a four per cent reduction in total footprint and 11 per cent reduction in weight compared to the fifth‑generation VRV Series.
The new VRV R is equipped with hardware and software innovations designed to improve the energy efficiency of the system.
The patented High Efficiency P-Type Compressor is optimised for part-load performance and delivers a part load EER (at 50 per cent load) of up to 7.82.
This represents an efficiency improvement of 25 per cents.
Refrigerant piping lengths of up to 165m are possible and the maximum height difference between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit has been extended to 110m, an improvement of 20m from the fifth-generation model.
