Hello,
I have been given a system design that looks a little odd and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with the Samsung DVM +4 System in conjunction with Hot Water Recovery?
What I find strange is that the piping network map generated is calling for MCU's feeding all the indoor units as opposed to normal Y branches.
From my understanding, you would only need one MCU feeding the Hydro unit for hot-water generation and the rest of the system could be piped up just using Y-Branches.
To clarify, we are in a tropical environment so will never need the heat/cool option and thus no need for the MCU switch-over ability for the indoors.
I am not looking forward to having to install a load of MCU units if I don't need too as they are bulky and noisy and seem to be a good point of failure. The piping increases as well.
Anyway, is there some reason why Samsung have put in these MCU's everywhere or is it just a mistake as I suspect?
