Frequently Asked Hisense VRF Questions
What are VRF units and how do they work?
VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) are advanced and energy-efficient HVAC systems that are available in various configurations to suit every need and application. Allowing for very precise temperature control in different zones, they work by varying the flow of refrigerant, ensuring energy-efficient heating and cooling across commercial and residential buildings.
What is the difference between R410A and R32 refrigerant in VRF systems?
R410A has been widely used in VRF systems for many years now, while R32 is a newer, lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant. Many manufacturers, including Hitachi, are transitioning to R32 for compliance with F-Gas regulations and improved energy efficiency.
Should I choose a single-phase or three-phase VRF unit?
Single-phase VRF units are typically suited to smaller commercial premises or residential projects, while 3 phase VRF systems are designed for larger buildings with higher power demands. The right choice depends on your site’s electrical supply and load requirements. Here at The MEP Shop, we can help you choose the right system for your project.
What are the benefits of VRF units compared to traditional HVAC systems?
VRF technology offers zoned climate control, reduced energy costs, quiet operation, and compact installation. Compared to split systems or central chillers, VRF outdoor units provide greater flexibility and efficiency, particularly for modern low-carbon building projects.
How do VRF units support decarbonisation and green building standards?
Modern VRF units use lower GWP refrigerants, high efficiency compressors, and smart controls that reduce wasted energy. This makes them ideal for projects seeking BREEAM, LEED, or Part L compliance, and helps meet sustainability and decarbonisation targets. The MEP Shop is passionate about helping the UK reach its net-zero targets, as a result, we're here for you every step of the way to help you achieve your green building goals.
How can Hisense VRF solutions help me and my project?
Hisense VRF systems can be either cooling only or heat recovery (which provides both heating and cooling simultaneously). Hisense's Hi-Smart & Hi-FLEXi range of VRF systems can be suited to any project or application. Here at The MEP Shop we stock a wide range of Hisense VRF products and are on hand to help with any need or enquiry.
