1. Reuse drain pipes

Durable PVC pipes can be easily reused. Only flow tests are required.

2.  Reuse refrigerant pipes

Pipes used for R-22 will also work with VRV-Q, thanks to the lower operating pressures of the system.

3. Reuse refrigerant branch pipes

There are no restrictions when upgrading from a Daikin VRV system. Other VRF systems require branch pipes to withstand pressures up to 3.3 MPa.

4. Reuse remote control wiring

Wiring can be reused when upgrading from a Daikin VRV system. In other cases, this will depend on the cable type.

5. Reuse indoor-outdoor wiring

Wiring can be reused when upgrading from a Daikin VRV system. In other cases, this will depend on the cable type.

6. Indoor units

Indoor units need to be replaced.

7. Outdoor units

Outdoor units need to be replaced.

    Merlin Properties

    The work consisted of replacing the outdoor and indoor units of an R-22 system installed in 1996 with R-410A VRV IV units.

    We renovated the installations by replacing the outdoor and indoor units, maintaining the rest of the original installations (refrigeration circuit, electricity, control wiring), and equipping the installations with the latest VRV IV functions: Variable Refrigerant Temperature (VRT), self-cleaning of refrigeration pipes and automatic charging.

    Benefits: energy savings, lower corrective maintenance costs, more energy-efficient equipment.
