In 2 of the key global markets – China and Europe, there is a transition happening in the light commercial market towards VRF systems. The VRF segment has been growing at 2x the base market growth rates in most countries globally. This growth is being driven by aggressive new product introduction from the Japanese, Korean and Chinese manufacturer. There are over 20 OEMs who now have a wide product range in VRF from 3HP – 64HP in R410A. The VRF systems are priced higher than the regular fixed speed systems and they offer benefits of lower life cycle cost, flexibility, additional end user features and of course, better room temperature control.
