Innovation in the Design and Implementation of 7th Generation VRF Systems
Green’s 7th Generation VRF systems (GRV7) are designed as one of the most advanced HVAC solutions to meet the demands of modern and complex projects. These systems not only provide higher energy efficiency but also offer unparalleled flexibility to engineers and project contractors through proprietary design and installation technologies. This article reviews the key technologies implemented in GRV7 from a design and execution perspective.
Long-Distance Piping with Significant Elevation Differences
A distinctive feature of GRV7 is its capability to support piping lengths up to 1,000 meters. This feature enables HVAC design in high-rise buildings, multi-block projects, and complex architectural structures.
Advantages:
• High flexibility in unit placement
• Reduced need for multiple separate systems
• Space savings
Challenges:
• Controlling refrigerant pressure drop
• Ensuring oil return to the compressor
• Delayed system response
• Necessity for precise insulation
Solutions:
• Use of oil traps
• Advanced design software
• Precision sensors
• Parallel piping layouts
180-Degree Sinusoidal Flow Control in Compressors
One of the standout technologies in GRV7 is 180-degree sinusoidal flow control in compressors. By shaping the current waveform closer to an ideal sinusoidal form, this technology provides:
• Extended compressor lifespan through reduced coil heating
• Reduced electrical noise and mechanical vibration
• Higher efficiency and reduced energy losses
• Stable performance under partial load conditions
This technology utilizes Field-Oriented Control (FOC) and SVPWM algorithms to ensure precise coordination between rotor position and applied voltage.
Non-Polar Communication: A Revolution in Control Networks
GRV7 employs non-polar communication technology, eliminating the need to distinguish between positive and negative cable polarity. This feature ensures:
• Stable and high-quality signal transmission over long distances
• Easier system expansion in the future
• Faster and simpler installation
• Reduced human errors
360-Degree Pipe Connection
In modern projects, restricted pipe installation angles have often been a challenge. GRV7 addresses this issue with its 360-degree pipe connection technology.
Advantages:
• Faster installation
• Reduced human errors
• Greater flexibility in complex piping layouts
Connection Types: Rotational, press-fit, and threaded with full rotation capability
Features: Reduced refrigerant leakage risk, improved serviceability, and maintenance cost savings
Design Excellence Driving Efficiency
The combination of advanced technologies such as long-distance piping, sinusoidal flow control, non-polar communication, and 360-degree connections makes GRV7 an ideal choice for large-scale and complex projects. These features not only enhance system performance but also ensure design flexibility and high-quality execution.
