    They are essentially the same thing, EXCEPT the term VRV is copyrighted by daikin. for example a system by daikin may be called a VRV, but a similar system made by fujitsu is a VRF.

    VRV = Variable Refrigerant Volume, VRF = Variable Refrigerant Flow.

    .

    It's as Acidslasher remarked.

    They are two interchangeable terms for the same machine. It means the same.

    Following Daikin's registration of 'VRV' as a 'trade name', VRF has become the accepted generic term for these machines.

    VRF as used by Mitsi and others is the more acurate term.


    VRF - Variable Refrigerant Flow is essentialy what goes on inside the system.


    VRV - Variable Refrigerant Volume does not really happen so therefore Daikin can keep their Guarded terminology!

    yeah the actual volume of refrigerant doesnt change, so i dont know why its called variable. Flow is much more accurate.

    Refrigerants, when they exist in gaseous state, they are compressible and so their volume can be varied.

    I think you will find Daikin invented and patented the first VRV system. Other manufactures then followed by designing there own VRF system, most of which were copies.

    Personally I think the latest VRV heat recovery is far superior to the present VRF systems:
    Ø Higher COP
    Ø Continuous heating during defrost
    Ø No capacity loss during indoor mode change
    Ø Heating mode high capacity start up (providing rapid heat up of indoor coils)
