Hybrid Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems

Thursday, March 21^st, 2024

Fogo de Chao

King of Prussia, PA

Please join us for lunch at Fogo de Chao on Thursday, March 21^st.  Dave Auciello and Rob DiFerdinando will be presenting on the topic of Hybrid VRF Systems.

Synopsis:

Hybrid Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system that exchanges heat between refrigerant and water can reduce the use of refrigerant and keep the piping in the indoor space refrigerant-free.  Air or water source units connect to a Hybrid Branch Controller by a two-pipe refrigerant system allowing for simultaneous heating and cooling in the same way as standard VRF.  Hybrid VRF uses the same outdoor units and controls package as VRF with added capacity range ensuring a more efficient installation that requires less space.
