managers know it as HVRF or hybrid variable refrigerant flow it's become the ideal solution for a vast array of heating and cooling applications for business and industrial buildings worldwide & it's quickly replacing traditional HVAC technologies inside the blueprint visited the Georgia based company headquarters that's leading the way Brand electric train us VRF technology around the world has been very popular it's become more popular in the United States over the past 20 years or so and the reason is the efficiencies are very high the installations are more simple because you're running refrigerant lines rather than a lot of duct work in the building & it actually gives the building owner more space to operate there's a big advantage of hybrid VRF in that by moving from refrigerant to a water source to the occupied space you eliminate refrigerants in those small occupied spaces which can be a concern for some in especially the hotel industry this product's actually been in use in Europe since 2013 it debuted there as a result of the f-gas regulations that the European commission put into place these are slowly phasing out the conventional refrigerants that were in use and bringing in a new set of refrigerants with lower global warming potential the HVRF concept gives us the best of both worlds a low GWP refrigerant and water for circulating the heat and air inside the building hybrid VRF is a unique two-pipe heat recovery system that replaces refrigerant with water from the indoor branch controller to the occupied space within the building which addresses ASHRAE 15 and 34 concerns hybrid VRF is able to modulate refrigerant flow fan speed and water flow to match the loads & it provides energy efficient zoned comfort and for those who've experienced variable refrigerant flow technology this is the next advancement they've been looking for this product is an extension of the success we've had with VRF it relies on the same outdoor unit where the refrigerant flow takes place but a whole new set of indoor units it brings the two together in what's really a very proven solution we've seen it succeed in Europe over the past eight years & we think it's going to ramp up very quickly in the US over the next five years, so it leverages our experience here and in Europe to bring a very new technology but one that's proven the big advantage of hybrid VRF over VRF is that there is no refrigerant in the occupied spaces' water is actually the cooling medium or heating medium to the space and the refrigerant is contained just between the outdoor unit and the HPC and Brand is so quiet you could hear a pin drop HBRF really reduces the carbon footprint of a building when we compare a VRF system versus a hybrid VRF system we compare any other type of technology by using 40 less refrigerant or more we reduce the carbon footprint and the impact on the environment Brand electric train a world leader that's not only setting the standard in hybrid VRF but revolutionizing features and benefits enjoyed in mid-size and large-scale building deployments HVRF is actually really well suited to both new construction and retrofit the building we're in right now is a high-rise building in New York City in Manhattan & we have HVRF system within this building we were able to install this very easily using small diameter copper pipes versus installing large diameter duct work within the space water piping indoors simplifies the installation and allows for fewer brazed connections which means fewer potential failures or leaks Berkeley, college of music likes the advantages of VRF and hybrid VRF works extremely well in their dorm rooms due to the flexibility and safety of the product Brands, hybrid VRF at its highest evolutionary state is a standard of excellence not just in the US but worldwide and hybrid VRF offers simultaneous heating and cooling with full heat recovery ideal for a huge array of applications and commercial environments hybrid VRF is specifically designed for spaces where quiet energy efficient simultaneous heating and cooling is valued HVRF is a unique product it's the only one in the world that can do simultaneous heating and cooling by using refrigerant from the outdoor unit to the HPC and water from the HPC to the indoor units and providing full cooling and heating simultaneously there's nothing else like it on the market all of our products are designed to accomplish two goals provide the best personal comfort and contribute to our communities everything we make is designed for energy efficiency and sustainability for more information on Brand electric's leading edge solutions for business and industrial heating and cooling needs
