recovery system makes use of refrigerant control boxes that reclaim the heat removed from the spaces and divert the hot gas to other spaces that require heating .
Another advantage of the VRF airconditioning system is the ability to integrate with the building ’ s domestic hot water systems . Mitsubishi offers technology whereby the VRF system is able to supply heating via what is known as a ‘ booster unit ’. The ‘ booster unit ’, comprises an inverter
driven compressor and a plate heat exchanger . The booster unit is coupled to the domestic geyser by using a simple water circulating loop and plate heat exchanger . The energy made available by the VRF system is then able to heat the building ’ s daily domestic hot water demand , without using electrical elements . This solution ensured that the most sustainable system was selected in terms of both energy consumption and initial capital costs .
