Trane® / Mitsubishi Electric
HVRF
Trane® / Mitsubishi Electric HVRF, the world’s only two-pipe Hybrid Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system that exchanges heat between refrigerant and water using our unique Hybrid Branch Controller (HBC), which can reduce the use of refrigerant on the outdoor side and keep the piping in the indoor space refrigerant-free.
This cutting-edge system combines VRF zoned comfort with hydronic chiller system advantages. The result is a new, all-electric heat pump that can heat and cool simultaneously, making it ideal for zoned comfort and sustainability.
Advantages That Create Better Buildings and Businesses
All-Electric Heat Pump
This 100% electric heat pump with heat recovery uses energy more efficiently, making it better for buildings and the planet.
Reduced Refrigerant
By introducing interior water lines, HVRF reduces the amount of refrigerant in the overall system by up to 30% compared to conventional VRF. Fewer refrigerant lines (and less refrigerant) make compliance easier with current and future regulations.
IEQ-Minded
Simultaneous heating and cooling maximize individual comfort, while the utilization of water helps limit noise.
Simplified Installation
Interior water lines use multilayer composite pipe (MLP) which costs less than copper and requires no brazing to connect joints.
SETUP
How HVRF Is Configured
Trane offers all necessary accessories and cost-effective local support to achieve a fully packaged solution.
All indoor unit models provide optimized comfort, quiet operation and easy maintenance, with both ducted and ductless options available depending on your logistics and goals.
The Horizon® DOAS Enhances ventilation and humidity management. Our family of dedicated outdoor air systems provides a range of units to meet your performance and budget goals.
Hybrid Branch Controller (HBC)
The HBC exchanges heat between refrigerant and water via 8/16 ports that can connect up to 50 indoor units, enabling simultaneous heating and cooling.
Refrigerant and Water Pipes
Two refrigerant pipes connect outdoor units to the Branch Circuit Controller, while two water pipes connect indoor units to the Branch Circuit Controller.
