VRV 5 3-Pipe Heat Recovery and Automatic Leak Detection

Daikin's VRV 5 Heat Recovery technology offers remarkable sustainable climate control benefits including energy efficiency values of up to 298.3%.

The VRV 5 system also offers major benefits to installers including its new 3-pipe heat recovery BSSV box which has been specifically developed for lower GWP R32. This feature alone reduces pipework, labour times, and material costs.  

Installer benefits of the 3-pipe BSSV box include:

- Faster and easier installation thanks to Refrigerant Flow Through

- Fewer brazing points and joint kits

- Less pipework required

- Less ceiling height - box can be installed at just 5mm from the ceiling

- No limitation on room size

- Quick on-site settings

- Up to 16kW capacity available per port

- Connect up to 250 class units (28kW) by combining 2 ports

- No limit on unused ports allowing phased installation

- Allows multi-tenant applications

- Easy servicing in ceilings via a slide-down PCB panel

 

Automatic, real-time leak detection

Another huge benefit of the 3-pipe BSSV box is the integrated shut-off valves which ensure that in the rare case of a refrigerant leak, only the specific branch is closed off.

Features include:

- Automatic, real-time leak detection and refrigerant containment controls

- Fully compliant with product standard (IEC60335-2-40), reducing the risk of direct CO2 eq. impact from a refrigerant leak

- Real-time leak detection sensors, triggering refrigerant containment safety measures in the unlikely event of a leak.

Easy servicing via a new slide-down panel

Another key feature of the new 3-pipe BSSV box is the new slide-down PCB panel. This allows installers to easily access the PCB board, reducing on-site time and costs.

Even more free heat

Daikin’s 3-pipe technology needs less energy to recover heat, meaning significantly higher efficiency during heat recovery mode – more free heat.

The system can recover heat at a low condensing temperature because it has dedicated gas, liquid and discharge pipes. In a 2-pipe system, gas and liquid travel as a mixture so the condensing temperature needs to be higher in order to separate the mixed gas and liquid refrigerant. The higher condensing temperature means more energy is used to recover heat resulting in lower efficiency.

Key benefits:

- Lower pressure drop means more efficiency

- Smooth refrigerant flow in 3-pipe system thanks to 2 smaller gas pipes results in higher energy efficiency

- Disturbed refrigerant flow in the large gas pipe on 2-pipe system results in a larger pressure drop.
