XPOWER VARIABLE REFRIGERANT FLOW UNIT (VRF)

A whole new definition to comfort.

This document details the Carrier XPOWER Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Unit, designed for advanced comfort and efficiency.

Product Overview

The Carrier XPOWER VRF system represents a significant advancement in climate control technology. It offers a sophisticated solution for heating and cooling diverse spaces with exceptional efficiency and reliability.

Visual Description: A prominent outdoor unit is depicted, featuring the Carrier logo and 'XPOWER' branding. The unit has a clean, white exterior with a textured ventilation grille, suggesting robust airflow management.

Carrier: Efficient, Dependable Performance

Carrier delivers efficient, dependable performance, inside and out.

Reliability

The operating sequence of the individual compressors is rotated, balancing their operating hours and distributing load evenly. Inverters reduce the risk of compressor failure and eliminate on/off power surges.

Functionality

A single VRF system can power up to 64 independent indoor units, depending on the system. This provides superior zoning because the refrigerant flow can vary from location to location, delivering only the necessary capacity to each zone.

Controllability

The entire system can be run from a central location or monitored remotely – perfect for diverse applications with a range of heating and cooling needs. Timely alerts aid in maintaining the system and keeping it running at its most efficient.

Key Technologies

Innovative Compressor Technology

Xpower's infinitely variable, inverter-driven control continually adjusts the operating speed of the compressors in real-time. This ensures that the capacity output precisely matches the demand from the end user. The advantage of this control is further optimized by incorporating all inverter twin rotary compressors.

Diagram Description: An ambient temperature expansion chart is shown, indicating the operational ranges for Cooling (from -5°C to 52°C) and Heating (from -25°C to 15.5°C).

Diagram Description: A detailed cutaway illustration of a twin rotary compressor is presented, highlighting its internal mechanics and design.

Diagram Description: An illustration showcases the new dual vane technology and Diamond Like Carbon Coating applied to compressor components, emphasizing enhanced performance and efficiency.

Increased Compressor Displacement

Increased compressor displacement extends the compressor's capacity output. A single unit with two compressors can now achieve a capacity output of up to 20 HP, offering increased operation range and more precise control.

Dual Vane Technology

The new dual vane technology is unique to Xpower twin rotary compressors. Its new design minimizes pressure losses between high and low-pressure chambers, increasing system efficiency while further enhancing compressor reliability. The brand-new "Diamond Like Carbon Coating" ensures maximum operations without the fear of increased mechanical wear and tear.

Intelligent Flow Technology

This unique control continually adjusts the operation of both indoor and outdoor units, based on feedback from multiple sensors located throughout the system. Refrigerant flow to each indoor unit is precisely controlled by the outdoor unit, ensuring even distribution of capacity throughout the entire system. The evaporative and condensing temperatures are continually adjusted automatically to maintain an optimum indoor room temperature, regardless of the unit's load or its physical distance from the outdoor. This ensures optimum performance while maximizing system efficiency.

Diagram Description: A bar chart illustrates capacity distribution across four hypothetical units (A, B, C, D) relative to a 'Target Capacity' line. It demonstrates how excess capacity in units A & B can be redistributed to units C & D, ensuring perfect operation throughout the entire system.

Xpower's "IFT" technology ensures that any surplus capacity can be re-distributed to achieve optimum performance and efficiency throughout the entire system. This technology ensures that the flow of refrigerant to the FCUs is precisely proportional to the demand of each individual indoor unit. Where demand exceeds the output of the CDU, the refrigerant is evenly distributed throughout the indoor network, ensuring stable capacity regardless of the unit's location within the building.

Infinite Variable Control

The control system has the ability to adjust the compressor rotational speed in near-seamless 0.1 Hz steps. When matched with Xpower's newest Twin Rotary compressors, this control allows the system to respond precisely to the capacity needs of the end user, while minimizing energy losses.

Diagram Description: A graph plots Compressor Speed (Hz) against Capacity. A marker highlights the 0.1 Hz step capability, illustrating precise control adjustments.

Innovation Heat Exchanger and Fan Blade Design

The new 3-row heat exchanger design features a reduced pipe size (from 8mm to 7mm) and an increased total number of passes, improving both system performance and efficiency. A 4-sided heat exchanger ensures maximum possible flow rate across the entire coil, maximizing system efficiency. The 3-way variable heat exchanger design allows the CDU to select the most efficient heat exchanger size, precisely matching the indoor capacity load. A new sub-cooling heat exchanger increases system operating performance and allows for a total piping length of up to 1,000 m.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows a 4-way heat exchanger within a machine room, depicting balanced airflow.

Diagram Description: A diagram illustrates a variable heat exchanger, differentiating between 'Max. operation' (100% total capacity) and 'Min. operation' (20% total capacity), indicating 'Use' and 'Nonuse' scenarios, such as cooling operation in high outdoor temperatures.

Outdoor Fan

The new outdoor fan blade includes a unique profile, ensuring smoother, uninterrupted airflow. The new propeller design reduces sound pressure levels while maximizing airflow volume. The outdoor fan motor now incorporates a 3-phase motor to maximize performance and efficiency, while reducing the minimum circuit amps value of the outdoor unit.

Diagram Description: An illustration of the outdoor fan highlights its advanced blade shapes, with labels pointing to "New anti-eddy projections on the back of the fan" and "New profiles of the reverse-arc shaped wings" for better airflow management.

Expanded Installation Flexibility

The new compact design of the Outdoor units provides increased performance that defies their compact module size. This delivers greater freedom in layout design, minimizes weight-related restrictions, and allows for quicker installation. The compact design features a reduced footprint.

Capacity up to 20HP can be covered with a single module, reducing pipe work and overall installation time. The system can be expanded to a maximum combination of 56 HP in one system, supporting up to 64 connectable indoor units.

The maximum piping length is 1,000 m, with a farthest equivalent length of 235 m. The maximum vertical distance between indoor units reaches up to 40 meters.
