Overview
This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above). However, if you are not licensed in Ohio, it is suggested that you purchase the self-paced version of the course.

In Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems, you'll learn ...

  • How Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems work
  • Typical applications, pros and cons of VRF systems
  • Why VRF systems are the commercial HVAC system of choice in Europe, Japan and other parts of the world
  • Why the U.S. market has been slower to accept VRF technology

Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) has about 24% of the global commercial air conditioning market, and over 35% market share in China, India, the European Union, and Eastern Europe. The VRF share of the U.S. market is still only about 3%, but multiple manufacturers sell these systems in the U.S. and sales are growing.

This 3-hour course describes how VRF systems operate, as well as why these systems have the potential to provide energy savings over the traditional systems used in U.S. commercial buildings today.

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Commercial building energy use by appliance
  • How VRF systems work
  • How a heat pump operates
  • Different heat pump operating cycles
  • Differences between VRF and DX systems
  • Advantages and disadvantages of VRF systems
  • Types of facilities that are best suited for VRF systems
