American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is an international membe
organization founded to advance the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration an
issues.

The Multi V commercial air conditioners use a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat recovery system that makes it possible to operate coolin
heating simultaneously using only one outdoor unit, serving both cost and energy-efficiency needs. The inverter VRF systems use both a vari
inverter compressor and constant-speed compressor. According to the manufacturer, instead of shutting off once the desired temperature is
inverter compressor continues to operate at a low speed to maintain that temperature, resulting in quieter operation and greater energy effic
compared to conventional models that cycle on and off. The constant-speed compressor is utilized only when the overall capacity of the syste
be increased. The outdoor units incorporate a modular design. The series offers Btu levels ranging from 38,000 to 192,000. The series featur
range of indoor unit options, including the Art Cool picture frame system, standard wall mounted, ceiling cassette, ceiling concealed duct, cei
suspended, and floor-standing models. Other features include total piping lengths over 3,000 feet, branch-to-branch piping up to 295 feet, au
system refrigerant leak monitoring, automatic refrigerant charging, as well as compatibility to BACnet and LonWorks building network s

System Effect Factor: How it Affects Operating Cost

System effect factor (SEF) is caused by poorly designed and installed duct fittings, and wastes significant energ
over the life of the building. SEF is the most common cause of the difference in predicted and actual fan hp. Th
covers how to predict and prevent or mitigate SEF, and better ensure that the building will operate as intended
