VRF AHU Kit 1 Introduction The AHU Kit can be connected to the heat pump/heat recovery/cooling only ODU and the third-party AHU. Every third-party AHU can be connected to one AHU Kit or to several AHU Kites in a parallel connection (up to four). This manual describes how to install and operate an AHU Kit.
The system is composed by largely indoor and outdoor parts. Outdoor part is Frigicoll VRF outdoor unit. Indoor part concludes other brand direct expansion type AHU (Local supply) and Frigicoll AHU VRF AHU Kit. AHU Kit forms the connection between Frigicoll VRF outdoor unit and other brand or Frigicoll brand direct expansion type AHU.
