People usually ask “are VRV and VRF two different things?”

The answer is ‘NO.’ 

There have been instances where people think that VRV and VRF are two different HVAC technologies. But to your surprise, both terms refer to a similar type of technology just with two different terms. The term VRV refers to “Variable Refrigerant Volume” whereas VRF refers to “Variable Refrigerant Flow”.

Back in 1982, Daikin became the first company to invent Inverter technology-based compressor – VRV HVAC systems. Being one of the leading companies in the industry, Daikin registered the term VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) as an official trademark. Due to this, other companies had to come up with a different term for the same technology. They termed it as VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow). It is widely used by the rest of the manufacturing companies in the industry.

The VRF air conditioning systems / VRV system is designed to regulate the temperature within commercial buildings to the specific needs even under high ambient conditions.

The systems    

The Variable Refrigerant Flow or the Variable Refrigerant Volume, both abbreviated as VRF and VRV respectively, are the air conditioning systems that are designed to regulate the temperature within a given space even in the harshest summer times, and yet be extremely energy-efficient.  VRF air conditioning systems consists of outdoor unit and several indoor units along with pipes, communication wiring, etc., some manufacturers have two types of VRF systems such as:   • Digital VRF air conditioning systems • Inverter VRF air conditioning systems     The VRF air conditioning systems are highly energy-efficient and with Digital Compressor Technology, it is able to regulate the cooling needs even under high ambient conditions like the extreme summer heat.
