VRF 50/60Hz
the required heat load is 10.5kW.
Provisionally select an outdoor unit using the sum of the capacity indexes (CIs) of the selected indoor units (as shown
•
in Table 1-5.5), ensuring that the combination ratio is between 50% and 130%. Refer to Table 1-5.6. As the sum of CIs
of the indoor units is 120. For the 10kW unit is not suitable, try to select 12kW unit.
•
The number of connected indoor units is 4 and the maximum number of connected indoor units on the 12kW outdoor
unit is 7, so the number of connected indoor units is within the limitation.
•
Calculate the corrected capacity of the outdoor unit:
a)
The sum of the indoor unit CIs is 120 and the CI of the 12kW outdoor unit is 120, so the combination ratio is 120 /
120 = 100%.
b)
Using the outdoor unit's cooling capacity table, interpolate to obtain the capacity ("B") corrected for outdoor air
temperature, indoor air temperature, and combination ratio. Refer to Tables 1-5.8 and 1-5.9.

Calculate the corrected capacity of BV-V42W/DHN1(At) ("C") by using K1:
•
The corrected capacity 10.84 kW is larger than required total heat load 10.5kW, so selection is complete.
