Abstract
Energy is a big variation of a different site and different system. So Design is the one of the tool of a calculation and smart
integrated system So energy efficiency has been prime importance in HVAC system. I want to design of a HVAC with VRF
technology of a space house in Ahmedabad and calculate instantaneous gain, Space Load, all electrical element load, Primary
energy demand, Ventilation Load, Energy Efficiency ratio (EER) and cost.
Keywords: HVAC, VRF, EER

system
1) Comfort:
VRF systems are capable of simultaneous cooling and heating. Each individual indoor unit can be controlled by a programmable
thermostat. Most VRF manufacturers offer a centralized control option, which enables the user to monitor and control the entire
system from a single location or via the internet.
2) Flexible Installation:
When compared to the single split system, a VRF system reduces installation cost by about 30%. A VRF system provides
reduction in copper tubing and wiring costs.
3) VRF:
Systems are lightweight; require less outdoor plant space and offer space - saving features
4) Reliability:
Continuous operation is possible even in the event of compressor failure. There is no immediate system shutdown if trouble
occurs in any compressor. The other compressors can continue to operate on an emergency basis.
5) Aesthetics:
Indoor units are available in different capacities and multiple configurations such as wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted cassette
suspended, and concealed ducted types
6) Design Flexibility:
A single condensing unit can be connected to wide range of indoor units of varying capacity (e.g., 0.5 to 6 tons ducted or
ductless configurations such as ceiling recessed, wall-mounted and floor console).
7) Energy:
VRF systems benefits from the advantages of linear step control in conjunction with inverter and constant speed compressor
combination, which allows more precise control of the necessary refrigerant circulation amount required according to the system
load.
1) Refrigerant Piping:
Concerns have been raised about health, expense, and environmental impacts from refrigerant leaks. It is important that the
designer/building owner is aware of these limitations.
2) Oil Management:
As the system has a larger spread, the refrigerant pipes traverse long lengths; hence their pressure testing and protection becomes
critical. Long refrigerant piping loops also raise concerns about oil return. Typically, each compressor has its own oil separator
which is optimized for the VRF system.
4) Maintenance:
Regular maintenance of VRF systems consists of changing filters and cleaning coils for the fan coil units.
VI. CONCLUSIONS
The variable refrigerant flow system is considered to be one of the most promising energy saving technologies gaining its
momentum in recent years. That is a big variation of a different star rating split air conditioner and VRF system for a cost saving.
However, a viable energy efficient technology is needed to conserve energy as well as to achieve better human comfort. So this
is been relatively new and efficient way to design HVAC system with VRF technology.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
It is indeed a pleasure for me to express my sincere gratitude to those who have always helped me for this research work. I wish
to express my gratitude to my parents, whose love and Encouragement have supported me throughout my education.
