What is VRF “Air conditioning on a dimmer switch” DC inverter driven compressor with load matching
software algorithm that varies the output to match multiple fan coil unit capacity demands.
Pulse modulated electronic expansion valves control refrigerant flow through evaporator coil.
Branch controller unit changes flow of refrigerant based on the demands of the space.
Transfers energy through refrigerant allowing for heat recovery during simultaneous mode operation.
Extremely efficient in part load conditions.

Ventilation Air Refer to ASHRAE Standard 62.1 2016 Ventilation for
acceptable indoor air quality. https://www.ashrae.org/resources--publications/bookstore/standards-62-1--62-2
Ventilation air can be direct or decoupled from the VRF fan coil units.
Examples of Ventilation air systems DOAS with an energy recovery wheel. DOAS with an energy recovery core. ERV/HRV. VRF outdoor air processing unit.
