LG Commercial Air Conditioning

Prepared by:
EnergySoft, LLC
Submitted to:
California Energy Commission
Purpose

Under section 10-109(b)4 “Exceptional Methods” the Building Energy Efficiency Standards
(Standards) allow for the introduction of new compliance approaches which cannot be properly
accounted for in the current adopted regulation or modeling assumptions. Applications under
the exceptional method are called compliance options. The following document is an
application for a compliance option that would allow consideration of variable refrigerant flow
(VRF) system under the Standards for nonresidential buildings. This application was submitted
by EnergySoft on behalf of a number of the manufacturers of VRF systems.
Staff has reviewed the document and while the general position of staff is supportive a number
of concerns still need to be resolved. Therefore, before a final position can be taken which
would hopefully lead to a recommendation to the Commission for approval of this compliance
option, staff has held a public meeting to vet out all possible concerns.

Executive Summary
Variable Refrigerant Flow systems are energy efficient air-conditioning systems that offer savings of
electricity and TDV energy as well as reduction of peak electricity demand. However, the 2008
California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24) do not provide compliance credits for VRF
systems, because modeling procedures do not exist in the nonresidential ACM manuals. This
application, pursuant to §10-109 of Title 24-2008, recommends modeling procedures to offer credit
for VRF systems for nonresidential buildings.
The VRF system is a R410A refrigerant-loop heat pump system which works like the conventional
water-loop heat pump (WLHP) system, except the VRF system uses an outdoor unit to remove or
add heat to the refrigerant loop, while the WLHP system uses a cooling tower to remove heat and a
boiler to add heat to the water loop. A heat recovery VRF system can serve multiple zones with
some zones demanding cooling while others demand heating. A VRF system has an air-cooled
outdoor unit, multiple indoor units, the refrigerant piping loop, one or more optional distribution units,
and corresponding system and zone controllers. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show components of a heat
recovery VRF system.

Figure 1 – Example Daikin Heat Recovery VRV System Components

The VRF system uses inverter technology by varying the speed of the compressor in the outdoor unit
to meet the changing load requirements of each indoor unit. The heat recovery VRF system recycles
the energy in other zones to provide comfort only to the zones calling for cooling or heating. The VRF
system is energy efficient, quiet in operation, and saves duct work space.
This application is organized in the following sections:
1. Executive Summary – describes the scope of the application and how VRF system works as
well as its benefits.
2. Eligibility Criteria – describes VRF system design requirement for compliance credit for
nonresidential HVAC systems.
3. Acceptance Requirements – describes acceptance requirements for VRF systems.
4. Modeling Procedures – describes how VRF systems would be modeled for nonresidential
HVAC systems.
5. Proposed Nonresidential ACM Amendments – describes needed modifications and additions
to the nonresidential ACM manual.

Coefficient Data used in the DOE-2 modeling for the various product lines.

Description of VRF Systems
Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems are still relatively new to the U.S. market, but have been
used in Asia and Europe for more than 20 years. The U.S. has the most comprehensive
requirements when compared to other markets worldwide, so there are several issues with testing
VRF systems. The first issue is the relatively new testing standard 1230, which is recently released
by the Air-conditioning Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). The second issue is in regards to
the set-up, data collection, and control of these complex systems. The systems can be tested with up
to five indoor units; in many cases, there may not be enough test room space for the units and all
testing apparatus to adequately collect the airflow data. Also, because VRF systems are more
complex than standard rooftop or split-system units, with integrated controls and multiple indoor
units, the testing time is greater and the cost of set-up and testing becomes very expensive very
quickly.
Most VRF manufacturers have requested and subsequently received waivers from the Department of
Energy (DOE) to be able to sell their systems. The waivers were requested because the older testing
standards (ARI Standards 210/240 and 340/360) did not provide adequate information for testing
multi-split systems that can have up to 50 indoor units; each outdoor unit can also have thousands of
indoor unit combinations. Since the initial waivers, AHRI members have worked with DOE to develop
an acceptable testing method, which had been used for the two Mitsubishi systems tested for this
report; AHRI has released the AHRI Standard 1230 to test VRF systems. We believe these test
results show there is still need for improving testing techniques and capabilities to properly reflect the
energy savings potential of VRF systems.

The VRF system is a R410A refrigerant-loop heat pump system which works like the conventional
water-loop heat pump (WLHP) system, except the VRF system uses an outdoor unit to remove or
add heat to the refrigerant loop, while the WLHP system uses cooling towers to remove heat and
boilers to add heat to the water loop.
A VRF system may have multiple compressors, typically one constant speed and one variable speed
with inverter technology. The variable speed compressor system will have multiple capacity control
steps which allow the amount of refrigerant flowing in the system to vary depending upon the
fluctuating needs of zone loads. This delivers maximum efficiency during partial load conditions and
provides precise temperature control in all zones. Each indoor unit incorporates an electronic
expansion valve that continually controls the flow rate of refrigerant. In this way, the VRF system
maintains a nearly constant room temperature without the typical temperature fluctuations that occur
with a conventional ON/OFF control system. By using multiple compressors to regulate capacity,
switching losses or power surges are minimized.
The heat recovery function is achieved by diverting exhaust heat from indoor units in cooling mode to
areas requiring heating and vice versa. The VRF system keeps running cost at an absolute minimum
by controlling each zone individually and shutting down completely in unoccupied areas if required.
There are two types of VRF systems: the Heat Recovery type which allows for simultaneous zones
cooling and heating, and the Heat Pump type which allows for either zones cooling or zones heating
operation. A VRF system has an air-cooled outdoor unit, multiple indoor units, the refrigerant piping
loop, one or more distribution units (Heat Recovery models only), and corresponding system and
zone controllers. An indoor unit needs to connect to a distribution unit if its operation mode needs to
be switched automatically from cooling to heating or vice versa independent of the operational mode
of the condensing unit. The heat recovery VRF is a three-pipe loop with two pipes connecting each
indoor unit to the loop (allows cooling only) or to a Distribution unit (allows either cooling or heating

3
with automatic switching) and three pipes connecting all Distribution units to the outdoor unit. The
heat pump VRF is a two-pipe loop with indoor units directly connected to the loop; no Distribution unit
is necessary.
Figure 1 and 2 show components of a heat recovery series and a heat pump series VRF system.
Figure 3 shows capacity control of a VRF system.

Figure 3 - The Capacity Control of a typical VRF System

A VRF outdoor unit can connect multiple indoor units with a total capacity of typically 130% - 150% of
the outdoor unit’s rated capacity, although some manufacturers do allow higher ratios.
VRF systems have been installed in buildings throughout Asia, Europe, and other regions for many
years with great success and customer satisfaction. Specifically, VRF systems have the following
benefits:
 Energy efficient. The outdoor unit uses a variable speed compressor system to provide highly
responsive cooling and heating performance. By responding to indoor and outdoor
temperature fluctuations by monitoring system suction pressure, the system varies power
consumption by adjusting the compressor speed to optimize energy usage. The variable
capacity indoor units are controlled by electronic expansion valves. This feature allows
operation only at the levels required to maintain a consistently comfortable indoor
environment without wasting energy. Heat pump operation also offers high heating capacity
and efficiency and is more efficient under part load conditions. The nominal cooling efficiency
EER can be above 12.0, while the heating COP can exceed 3.5, however, the efficiency
values are significantly higher at part load conditions.
 Flexible indoor layout and design. Each individual zone can have its own indoor unit or a
group of indoor units that precisely control the indoor temperature. Multiple styles of indoor
units can meet requirements of indoor unit layout and design.

4
 Zoning comfort control. Zones are actively cooled in one zone while heating another (heat
recovery). Set up zones to maximize simultaneous operation: interior/exterior, eastern
exposure/western exposure. Each zone gets the cooling or heating that is needed at any
time. Simultaneous cooling and heating over three-pipes provides air conditioning and control
flexibility to each and every zone. Zoning comfort can also be achieved with the Heat Pump
VRF system.
 Quiet operation. VRF is designed for the quietest possible operation both indoor and outdoor.
Outdoor units are as quiet as 58 dB(A) and indoor units as low as 28 dB(A), which makes
VRF systems a huge advantage especially for classrooms, schools, universities, hospitals,
healthcare facilities, and libraries, where quiet conversations are paramount.

5
Eligibility Criteria
VRF systems are energy efficient and eligible for Title 24 compliance credits. The following sections
describe the requirements for obtaining the nonresidential credit for VRF systems.
New or existing nonresidential buildings can obtain compliance credits for the VRF systems for
space cooling, space heating, and fan if the following eligibility criteria are met:
1. Eligible systems shall:
 Be R410A based refrigerant-loop heat pump systems with multiple direct expansion
indoor units and an outdoor unit attached to the loop.
 Have an air-cooled outdoor unit.
 Have a variable speed compressor in the outdoor unit to vary the refrigerant flow to meet
the changing zone loads.
 The Heat Recovery VRF outdoor unit can automatically switch operation between cooling
mode and heating mode using the "auto" changeover mode. This mode helps move the
existing "energy" in a building to the areas it can best be utilized /or is needed, and as
such perform heat recovery operation. For the VRF Heat Pump system, users can
manually switch the operation mode from cooling to heating and vice versa.
 Have no supplemental cooling or heating equipment attached to the loop.
 Have no storage tank.
 Have each indoor unit operation controlled by a zone controller and/or a system
controller.
 Have a cooling connection ratio (total of indoor unit capacity / outdoor unit capacity)
between 50% and 130%.
 Be installed and tested according to manufacturer installation and operation manuals.

2. Performance data for indoor and outdoor units shall be based upon testing temperature
conditions defined in AHRI Standard 1230 for multi-split equipment, which is based on ISO
15042, ARI 210/240, and ARI 340/360 standards.
3. Building types are either nonresidential or high-rise residential.

Acceptance Requirements
The following amendments are proposed to the Appendix NJ of the 2008 Nonresidential ACM
Manual.

VRF Acceptance

These acceptance requirements apply only to VRF systems, and are in addition to those for other
systems or equipment such as economizers, packaged equipment, etc.
Construction Inspection
Prior to performance testing, verify and document the following:
1. The air-cooled outdoor unit is installed.
2. For a single VRF system, the actual piping length and total equivalent piping length to the
most distant indoor unit is no greater than manufacturer’s recommendations. The system total
piping length is no greater than recommended. Total piping equivalent length = (actual piping
length from the outdoor unit to the farthest indoor unit) + equivalent piping length of branches
on the piping.
3. The maximum level difference between the outdoor unit and indoor units is no greater than
manufacturer’s recommendations.
4. The VRF system components are installed correctly per manufacturer’s installation manual,
including correct refrigerant (R410A) charge and piping configurations.
5. The correct outdoor and indoor model numbers are installed (as indicated in compliance
documents with rated cooling and heating capacities and power consumption of indoor and
outdoor units).
6. All refrigerant lines are insulated per the requirements of Title 24 Part 6 Section 118
Equipment Testing
For Heat Recovery VRF Systems:
1. Force the controls to indicate all zones demand for cooling. Make sure that all indoor units
operate in cooling mode, and the outdoor unit also operates in cooling mode.
2. Force the controls to indicate all zones demand for heating. Make sure that all indoor units
operate in heating mode, and the outdoor unit also operates in heating mode.
3. Force the controls to indicate some zones demand for cooling while others demand for
heating. Make sure that indoor units demanding for cooling run in cooling mode, while indoor
units demanding for heating run in heating mode. The outdoor unit runs in cooling mode if the
total cooling demand is greater than the total heating demand of indoor units.
4. Force the controls to indicate some zones demand no cooling or heating while other zones
demand cooling or heating. Make sure those indoor units with no demand for cooling or
heating do not operate while others do and the outdoor unit also operates.

For Heat Pump VRF Systems:


1. Force the controls to indicate dominant cooling demand by zones. Make sure that:

7
 Indoor units operate in cooling mode for zones demanding cooling
 Indoor units do not operate for zones demanding heating
 Outdoor unit operates in cooling mode
2. Force the controls to indicate dominant heating demand by zones. Make sure that:
 Indoor units operate in heating mode for zones demanding heating
 Indoor units do not operate for zones demanding cooling
 Outdoor unit operates in heating mode

Modeling Procedures
DOE-2 cannot model the performance of a VRF system; therefore a VRF system function has been
developed for DOE-2 to calculate the cooling, heating, and fan energy use of a VRF system. The
VRF function takes inputs of the VRF system performance data, hourly indoor and outdoor air
temperatures, and hourly zone cooling and heating loads to calculate the hourly outdoor unit power
consumption and indoor fan power consumption. The VRF function can be directly called by DOE-
2.1E to facilitate the simulation of VRF systems.
To model a VRF system in DOE-2.1E, the system type is set to HP which is a DOE-2 code word
representing the hydronic heat pump system. The VRF function is an ‘after system’ function which is
called after the HP system routine completes an hourly calculation. It basically uses the dummy HP
system type and overwrites the way DOE-2 calculates the cooling, heating, and fan energy use for
the HP system. The VRF function is called by each VRF system. The VRF function does not change
any other energy use in zones, for example, lighting, plug-loads, and any process loads.
For the heat recovery VRF system, the VRF function calculates the hourly cooling and heating
electricity use of the system according to the zone loads and VRF system performance data. For the
heat pump VRF system operates in cooling mode, the VRF function calculates the hourly cooling
electricity use of the system according to zone cooling loads and VRF system performance data, but
the hourly heating energy is calculated based on zone heating loads.
In addition, a user input auxiliary heating system may be specified for colder climates. Should this
not be specified, the modeling procedures will automatically define a default electric resistance
backup heating system to ensure all loads are met. This methodology is similar to the way a
conventional heat pump is handled by the ACM procedures.
The same methodology is applied to the cooling system. Should the cooling system be undersized
or have unmet load hours, the equations will automatically assign a default minimum efficiency
cooling system (13 SEER) to handle unmet loads and ensure all hours of conditioning are reported.
This section details the calculation algorithm for a VRF system. The code of the VRF DOE-2 function
is listed in Appendix A – VRF DOE-2 Function.
Appendix A – The VRF DOE-2 Function

Determination of Operation Mode for a Heat Pump VRF System

For a heat pump VRF system, when it is on, it can operate either in cooling mode or heating mode.
For a given hour when the VRF system is on, get the hourly total zone cooling loads QCZ, and hourly
total zone heating loads QHZ. If QCZ ≥ QHZ, then the VRF system operates in cooling mode,
otherwise in heating mode.

Heat Recovery VRF Systems
For zones served by a heat recovery VRF system, some may demand cooling while others demand
heating. To determine whether the outdoor unit operates in cooling mode or heating mode, first
assumes the VRF system operates in cooling mode and calculates the CAPpi_c and OUCLKW
based on cooling zones, then assumes the VRF system operates in heating mode and calculates the
CAPpi_h and OUHTKW based on heating zones. If CAPpi_c + OUCLKW >= CAPpi_h, the outdoor
unit operates in cooling mode and OUCLKW is the outdoor unit electricity consumption, otherwise
the outdoor unit operates in heating mode and OUHTKW is the outdoor unit electricity consumption.
Compared with heat pump VRF systems, distribution units are used in heat recovery VRF systems
and they consume a small amount of electricity, which is manufacturer specific.

Refrigerant Line Lengths

When modeling the losses associated with the refrigerant lines, the modeling procedures will default
the line length to the value shown in the table below taken from the AHRI 1230 standard.

Proposed Nonresidential ACM Amendments
This section provides recommended language for inclusion in the Nonresidential Alternative
Calculation Method Manual.
There are two proposed amendments to the Nonresidential ACM Manual: 1. Section 3.3.18 VRF
added to the Optional Capabilities chapter; 2. Section NJ.13 VRF Acceptance added to the
Nonresidential ACM Appendix NJ.

3.3.18 Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems


Description: Nonresidential ACMs may model VRF systems using the DOE-2 function listed in
Appendix A.
DOE Keywords: These keywords apply to the VRF systems in the proposed design only.
Zone Keywords
ZONE-FAN-KW takes user input of zone fan power in kW/cfm for each zone served by the
VRF system.
System Keywords
1. SUBR-FUNCTIONS HTPUMP-1Z = *SAVEQZN*: This function is called for each zone served
by the VRF system to save and transfer the hourly zone loads and fan power. This statement
should be written right after the statement “INPUT SYSTEMS ..”.
2. SYSTEM-TYPE = HP: The DOE-2 system type of VRF systems must be set to HP (Hydronic
Heat Pump).
3. FUNCTION = (*NONE*, *VRF*): This keyword calls the VRF function. This keyword should
be inserted right after the SYSTEM-TYPE keyword for each VRF system. This keyword
means the VRF function will be called after the HP system routine to calculate the hourly
system cooling and/or heating electricity use, and the total of zone fan electricity use. If there
are multiple VRF systems, each VRF function name should be unique such as VRF1, VRF2,
etc.
4. SUPPLY-STATIC = 0.0001: This keyword is to zero out the system fan power as zone fan
power is calculated in the VRF function.
5. SUPPLY-EFF = 0.5: A dummy system fan efficiency.
6. GET-IT-INTO-SYS = (VRFType, OUCCAP, OUHCAP, OUCCOP, OUHCOP, PEL, LD, CR,
FANCtrl, HAuxType, HAuxEff): This is an added system keyword to define the design data of
a VRF system. Eight user inputs are:
1) VRFType: type of a VRF system – 1 for Heat Recovery VRF, 2 for Heat Pump VRF
2) OUCCAP: outdoor unit rated cooling capacity in Btu/h
3) OUHCAP: outdoor unit rated heating capacity in Btu/h
4) OUCCOP: outdoor unit rated cooling efficiency COP
5) OUHCOP: outdoor unit rated heating efficiency COP
6) PEL: equivalent piping length between outdoor unit and the farthest indoor unit in feet
7) LD: installed level difference between the outdoor unit and indoor units in feet

20
8) CR: combination ratio – total of indoor unit rated cooling capacity / outdoor unit rated
cooling capacity, a range between 50% and 150%.
9) FANCtrl: Indoor fans operation mode – 1 for Always On, 2 for Cycling with Loads
HAuxType: Auxiliary heating system type –, 2 for electric resistance, HAuxEff:
Auxiliary heating system efficiency –Plant Assignment Keywords
All VRF systems can be grouped into one or more PLANT-ASSIGNMENT which cannot have any
normal DOE-2 hydronic heat pump systems. Under the PLANT-ASSIGNMENT, the following
keywords must be set in order to zero out the energy use of boilers, cooling towers, and
circulating pumps attached to the loop:
1. BOILER-EIR = 0
2. BOILER-HIR = 0.0001
3. CIRC-HEAD = 0
4. TWR-EIR = 0.000001
5. TWR-PUMP-HEAD = 0
Input Type: Required
Tradeoffs: Yes
VRF DOE-2 Function: The VRF DOE-2 function written in FORTRAN code is listed in Appendix A.
The VRF function should be inserted between the system “END ..” line and the “COMPUTE
SYSTEMS ..” line. This can also be done by inserting an include statement “##INCLUDE VRF.func”,
and putting the actual DOE-2 function file VRF.func at the DOE-2 executable files folder.
Modeling Rules for Proposed Design:
Optional proposed systems shall be modeled as input by the user, according to the plans and
specifications for the building, subject to all of the restrictions specified in the Required Systems and
Plant Capabilities. User inputs for a VRF system include:
1. VRF system type: Heat Recovery VRF which allows simultaneous zones cooling and heating;
Heat Pump VRF allows for either zones cooling or heating
2. Outdoor unit rated cooling and/or heating capacity in Btu/h
3. Outdoor unit rated cooling and/or heating efficiency COP
4. System piping equivalent length and level difference in feet
5. System combination ratio
6. Indoor fan control
7. Auxiliary heating system type and efficiency
For heat recovery VRF systems, the cooling and heating energy use is calculated according to the
VRF systems design data and performance curves. For heat pump VRF systems operate in cooling
mode, the cooling energy use is calculated by the VRF function, while the heating energy use is
calculated according to the auxiliary heating system type and efficiency. For heat pump VRF
systems operate in heating mode, the heating energy use is calculated by the VRF function, while
the cooling energy use is calculated according to the Title 24 defaults of packaged split DX systems
(nonresidential three-phase) with cooling efficiency of SEER = 13 (EER = 10) and default
performance curves.
The proposed design is sized to meet the zone loads. If the outdoor unit cannot meet the loads,
auxiliary cooling and heating energy is calculated to meet the unmet loads. The outdoor and indoor
unit load unmet hours are reported in the DOE-2 SS-Z reports.

21
Modeling Rules for Standard Design (New):
Standard system types and applicable system parameters are chosen according to Table N2-10 for
Multiple Zone systems. The air flow and supply air temperature for the standard design will be
optimally controlled in the reference method. All efficiency descriptors shall be determined according
to the requirements of the Required Systems and Plant Capabilities.
Modeling Rules for Standard Design (Existing Unchanged & Altered Existing):
ACMs shall model the existing system as it occurs in the existing building using DOE-2 default
performance curves. If the permit involves alterations, ACMs shall model the system before
alterations.

22
Compliance Forms
To facilitate the reporting and enforcement of the VRF systems, three items are recommended in this
application.

1. Add a note on the PERF-1 in the Special Features and Modeling section that will alert the
building department to the use of a VRF system. This is consistent with other ACM manual
requirements for special features. In addition, it has been specified in the ACM language
provided that the ACM must also alert the building department to the need for a Certificate of
Acceptance for VRF systems.

2. The MECH-2-C reports the outdoor unit’s Mandatory and Prescriptive Measures

3. The MECH-5-C, Part 1 of 2, reports the outdoor unit specifics in the Central System Ratings
section. The Central Ratings section lists:

a. System Name

d. Heating

e. Cooling

f. Quantity or number of indoor units

23

Appendix A – The VRF DOE-2 Function
Function Description Section
$
$ This DOE-2 function is created to calculate the energy performance of air-cooled VRF systems
$
$ Last updated 7/13/2008.
$
$ How a VRF system works
$ A VRF system has one or more outdoor unit (compressors + condenser) that cools or heats
$ refrigerant (R410A) which is delivered to multiple DX indoor units for cooling or heating.
$ Each zone has one or more indoor unit (a DX coil + a small fan).
$ A VRF system operates as a refrigerant-loop heat pump system without extra heating or
$ cooling from other equipment.
$
$ There are two types of VRF systems: Heat Pump VRF and Heat Recovery VRF.
$ The Heat Pump VRF system can work either in cooling mode (all zones need cooling)
$ or heating (all zones need heating), but not simultaneous cooling and heating
$ (some zones need cooling while others need heating).
$ The Heat Recovery VRF system can work in simultaneous cooling and heating mode.
$ A heat recovery VRF system can operate in three modes: all zones in cooling,
$ all zones in heating, and simultaneous zones cooling and heating.
$ For Heat Pump VRF system operates in cooling mode, the heating energy of zones demanding
heating
$ is calculated based on user defined heating type (gas, electric, hydronic) and efficiency.
$ For Heat Pump VRF system operates in heating mode, the cooling energy of zones demanding
cooling
$ is calculated based on T24-2008 defaults of packaged split DX system (three phases) with
efficiency of SEER = 13, EER = 10.
$
$ This function allows DOE-2 to calculate the hourly HVAC electricity use, including the
$ kWh of indoor unit fans, branch controller (for Heat Recovery VRF only),
$ and outdoor units for a VRF system.

29
$
$ Input parameters to the function:
$ 1) Hourly variables from BDL
$
$ 2) Variables from DOE-2 input file
$ The DOE-2 input file should AUTOSIZE capacity of boilers and towers of the PLANT
$ ASSIGNMENT serving the VRF systems, and set BOILER-EIR = 0, BOILER-HIR = 0.0001
$ (DOE-2 minimum), CIRC-HEAD = 0, TWR-EIR = 0.000001, TWR-PUMP-HEAD = 0,
$ MIN-FLUID-T = 40, and MAX-FLUID-T = 120 to zero out the energy use of the boiler,
$ the cooling tower, and the circulation pump.
$ For each VRF system, set SUPPLY-STATIC = 0.0001, SUPPLY-EFF = 0.5 to zero out the
$ fan kWh calculated by DOE-2 as the indoor unit fan kWh will be calculated by this
$ function.
$
$ 3) The design data for the VRF system
$ ZoneFankW- Indoor unit rated fan power in kW
$ ZoneCCAP - Indoor unit rated cooling capacity in Btu/h
$ ZoneHCAP - Indoor unit rated heating capacity in Btu/h

$ OUCCOP - Outdoor unit cooling COP. AA(NSP+320)
$ OUHCOP - Outdoor unit heating COP. AA(NSP+321)
$ PEL - Piping length in feet, maximum equivalent piping length from the

Appendix B – Daikin Sensitivity -Analysis
Introduction
The sensitivity analysis shows credits that a Daikin VRV system can get for compliance with Title 24-
2008.
A 2,250 square feet mixed use building is selected for the sensitivity analysis. This is test C11A10
from the ACM Manual. EnergyPro version 4.4 is used to calculate the TDV Energy of a Proposed
Design using a Daikin VRV system with outdoor unit of REYQ96 and various indoor units for both
space cooling and heating needs via the Title 24-2008 Standard Design.

Building Description
This prototype (prototype A from the ACM Manual) is a one-story building measuring 30 ft by 75 ft
and is 12 ft high. Glass exists in a continuous band around the entire building perimeter with the sill
2.5 feet above the floor. The building has a single thermal zone.

Roof: JAIV: 02-A5 – Wood Framed Rafter w/CRRC-1 Certified Roof

Walls: JAIV: 11-A2 – R-11 Metal framed


JAIV: 13-B2 + IV19-F7 – Solid Unit Masonry with Added Exterior Insulation

Glazing: North – U-Factor = 0.47, SHGC = 0.51


Non-North – SHGC = U-Factor = 0.47, SHGC = 0.36

Floor: JAIV: 21-A2 – R-11 Raised Floor

HVAC System Description


The outdoor unit REYQ96MTJU has a rated cooling capacity of 96 kBtu/h and a rated heating
capacity of 108 kBtu/h.

Climate Zones
All sixteen California climate zones are used in this sensitivity analysis.

Simulation Runs
A Proposed Design has been created using EnergyPro for each climate zone with building envelope,
lighting, and DHW minimally compliant with the prescriptive requirements of Title 24-2008, and using
a Daikin VRV system with outdoor unit REYQ96 and multiple indoor units. All sixteen proposed
designs are run with EnergyPro to demonstrate the TDV energy savings of Daikin VRV Proposed
Designs compared with the Title 24-2008 Standard Designs (results listed in Table 1)

Appendix L – Mitsubishi Sensitivity Analysis
Introduction
The sensitivity analysis shows credits that a VRFZ system can get for compliance with Title 24-2008.
For the sensitivity tests, Certification test C11A10 was taken from the Alternative Calculation Method
Manual. This building is a 2,250 square foot mixed use building. EnergyPro, version 5.1, calculates
the TDV Energy of a Proposed Design using a Mitsubishi VRFZ system with one outdoor units, the
PURY-P96, and four indoor units for both space cooling and heating needs via the Title 24-2008
Standard Design.

Building Description
This prototype (prototype A from the ACM Manual) is a one-story building measuring 30 ft by 75 ft
and is 12 ft high. Glass exists in a continuous band around the entire building perimeter with the sill
2.5 feet above the floor. The building has a single thermal zone.

Roof: JAIV: 02-A5 – Wood Framed Rafter w/CRRC-1 Certified Roof

Walls: JAIV: 09-A3 – R-13 Wood framed

Glazing: North – U-Factor = 0.47, SHGC = 0.51


Non-North – SHGC = U-Factor = 0.47, SHGC = 0.36

Floor: JAIV: 21-A3 – R-19 Raised Floor

HVAC System Description


The outdoor unit, PUHY-P108TGMU-A has a rated cooling capacity of 108 kBtu/h and a rated
heating capacity of 120 kBtu/h. We chose a building with peak cooling and heating loads close to the
rated capacities of the outdoor unit so that both the CCR (cooling combination ratio) and HCR
(heating combination ratio) are close to one.

Climate Zones
All sixteen California climate zones are used in this sensitivity analysis.

Simulation Runs
A Proposed Design is created using EnergyPro for each climate zone with building envelope,
lighting, and DHW minimally comply with the prescriptive requirements of Title 24-2008, and using a
Mitsubishi VRFZ system with outdoor unit PURY-P96 and multiple indoor units. All sixteen proposed
designs are run with EnergyPro to demonstrate the TDV energy savings of Mitsubishi VRFZ
Proposed Designs compared with the Title 24-2008 Standard Designs (results listed in Table 2).

Appendix R – Mitsubishi CITY MULTI PURY-P96 Outdoor Unit
Specifications

EnergySoft, LLC 210


EnergySoft, LLC 211
Appendix S – Correlation Testing of Mitsubishi CITY MULTI
VRFZ Systems
The two units tested were a PURY-P96 VRFZ system with heat recovery capability and a PUHY-
P168 standard VRFZ heat pump system. Testing the two CITY MULTI VRFZ systems was
conducted at the Underwriter Laboratories (UL) facility in Plano, Texas. The intent of the testing was
two-fold. First, to run the systems at standard test conditions for third-party verification of data found
in the CITY MULTI VRFZ Engineering Manual; second, to run the systems at part load conditions to
provide data that shows the energy saving capabilities of the CITY MULTI VRFZ Systems. The UL
Labs had not tested a VRFZ system before testing Mitsubishi units, so there was a learning curve,
especially with the simultaneous heating and cooling PURY unit.
The AHRI Draft Standard 1230 was used as the basis for the testing. The tests conducted were:
 System Cooling Capacity and Efficiency at 95ºF Outdoor Dry Bulb
 System Heating Capacity and Efficiency at 47ºF Outdoor Dry Bulb
 System Heating Capacity and Efficiency at 17ºF Outdoor Dry Bulb
 System Integrated Part Load Value
 System Efficiency While Operating in Simultaneous Heating and Cooling Mode (PURY-P96
only)

The 14-ton PUHY-P168 system was tested first in the large, 20-ton UL test room. Besides the fact
that this was their first exposure to a VRFZ system, the main challenge was installing the five
ductless indoor units so that the air-flow from these units, two ceiling cassette units, and three wall-
mounted units could be adequately collected.

Due to limited test room availability, the PURY-P96 was tested 8 months later in the smaller 12-ton
test room. The testing for the PURY-P96 was negatively impacted by squeezing the outdoor unit and
four indoor units into the smaller test room. We decided to use the smaller room because the
availability of test rooms in the U.S. was very limited due to many HVAC companies reserving lab
space because of the change from refrigerant R22 to refrigerant R410A in their product lines.

The following pages from the Mitsubishi Submittal Sheets show the specifications for the two
systems tested. The summarized results of the testing are next, showing a comparison of the
Mitsubishi data, the EnergyPro data, and the UL test room data.

The following pages contain tables presenting and comparing data and test results. First, the UL Lab
test data was compared to Mitsubishi test lab data; then the UL test lab data was compared to
EnergyPro data. The data compared favorably with the others—except for the heating operation
testing of the PURY-P96 (especially at part load)—considering that this was the first time UL tested
the units.
The cooling testing for the PURY-P96 was conducted first and was not adversely impacted by the
test room set-up. However, the test room set up did adversely impact results for the PURY-P96
heating testing. The notes below detail the problems that impacted the PURY-P96 heating test
results. By the time these issues were discovered and the sources of the problems realized, the
testing was almost complete and allotted time in the test room had already been exceeded by over a
week.

Important Notes about PURY-P96 Testing


(Please refer to the PURY-P96 testing set-up on the following page)
1. Inlet air temperatures of the indoor units are unbalanced ⇒ the actual inlet
temperature of the indoor units is lower than the inlet measurement point of "Average
Indoor Inlet Dry bulb" by 4 to 8%.
- The imbalance of actual inlet air temperature will cause the capacity
to decrease at least 3%.
- As actual inlet air temperatures of the indoor units decreases, the
condensing and evaporating temperatures fall than they should be,
which will make the heating capacity decrease by at least 3%.
2. Due to the limited test room space for the indoor side, the BC controller was
installed in the outdoor room, causing heat loss, which could decrease the heating
capacity by 2% or more.
3. The discharge airflows of the four indoor units were collected into a single duct
going to the mixer. The "duct loss" was larger than anticipated. When two of the test
runs were compared, one had a higher condensing temperature but was getting lower
heating capacity than the other.
4. When the heating part load data of the PURY-P96 is compared to the PUHY-P168,
the results show that the heating capacity of PUHY-P168, when operating at the
target discharge pressure, reached 111.7% against the data in the manual, with an
input (power consumption) of 118.9% versus. the data book data. The PURY-P96,
was operating in heating part load at the same target discharge pressure, it only reach
77.3% against the data on manual, with input (power consumption) at 114.2%. The
difference between the test data of the two units is significant.
5. The imbalance of inlet air temperature of indoor units had a significant effect,
especially when the unit is operating in the lower part load range. See Appendix T –
Mitsubishi CITY MULTI PUHY-P168 and PURY-P96 Test Data.

The testing configuration of the four PKFY indoor units with PURY-P96 is included; refer to this page
when reading the notes below. The heating operation data was more significantly affected by the
issues with the set-up and the temperature imbalance as discussed below. The correlation was very

EnergySoft, LLC 217


high among the PURY-P96 cooling operation data, except for the part load comparison where the
EnergyPro data was about 8% lower than the UL data. The data to calculate the DOE rating point of
cooling efficiency, from all three data sources, were within 5% of each other, which would meet the
AHRI requirements for test results.

Overall, the comparison shows very good correlation of the data. The PUHY-P168 UL test lab data
was only within a few percentage points of the Mitsubishi test lab data. The EnergyPro data was then
compared to the UL test lab data. Again, the data was within a few percentage points, except the
75% cooling part load EnergyPro data was about 7% lower than the UL test lab data; and the inputs
at the UL test lab for low heating and 75% part load heating were higher than the input data from the
UL test lab data. For the 75% heating part load heating, the capacity at the UL test labs was also
more than 10% higher than the EnergyPro data. The data to calculate the two DOE rating points of
heating and cooling efficiencies, from all three data sources, were within 5% of each other, which
would meet the AHRI requirements for test results.

systems are normally installed with the total indoor unit capacity greater than nominal outdoor unit
capacity to capitalize on the diversity of the building.
To show another point of comparison between the system capabilities, we ran each system in the
Sacramento climate area with two additional indoor units, increasing the capacity ration of indoor
units to outdoor unit by about 30%. This enabled us to generate a Performance Certificate of
Compliance for each system. It is not feasible to try and generate capacity and efficiency
performance in EnergyPro, so it is our belief that this method shows that our systems are better than
the standard system. After performing this test run, we discovered that there is an apparent issue
with the fan values of the standard system—we believe that they are unrealistically low. The table
below shows a comparison of the data:

PURY - P96 (3,100 sq ft) PUHY - P168 (5,100 sq ft)


Energy Standard Proposed Compliance Standard Proposed Compliance
Component Design Design Margin Design Design Margin
Space 1.81 0.23 1.58 1.11 0.11 1.00
Heating
Space 79.83 69.51 9.81 87.64 66.26 21.39
Cooling
Indoor 10.49 17.64 -7.15 10.32 16.13 -5.82
Fans
Totals 4.24 16.75

The data shows that the standard design fans are unbelievably low for the given square footage.
Mitsubishi indoor units all use fractional horsepower motors, so that the total horsepower for each
system is barely over one horsepower while standard systems would have to use motors with much
higher horsepower. We request CEC change the way the indoor fan values are calculated for the
standard design.
However, if just the space heating and cooling numbers are considered, especially the cooling, it is
apparent that CITY MULTI VRFZ systems perform extremely well when compared to the standard
design.
Overall, the test data and the two EnergyPro compliance runs show that there is very good
correlation between EnergyPro performance and actual system performance.

Appendix V – Sanyo Sensitivity Analysis

The Sanyo VRF product offerings consist of two lines of outdoor units, the ECO-i product, which is
available in 8 and 12 ton capacities, and the Mini-ECO-i, a smaller model available in 3 and 5 ton
capacities. All of the outdoor units utilize inverter controlled compressors to maximize energy
efficiency and perform well at part load conditions. In addition, the ECO-i units are offered as both
heat pump units, as well as heat recovery units that will allow for energy exchange between the
various zones, similar to a water source heat pump system. Both products are combined with an
offering of various size indoor units to complete the system, and utilize R410A refrigerant.
A 2,250 square foot mixed use building is selected for the sensitivity analysis. This is test C11A10
from the ACM Manual. EnergyPro version 5.1 is used to calculate the TDV Energy of a Proposed
Design using a Sanyo VRF system with outdoor unit of CHDZ09052, three UHX0752 indoor units
and two DHX0952 indoor units for both space cooling and heating needs via the Title 24-2008
Standard Design.
Building Description
This prototype (prototype A from the ACM Manual) is a one-story building measuring 30 ft by 75 ft
and is 12 ft high. Glass exists in a continuous band around the entire building perimeter with the sill
2.5 feet above the floor. The building has a single thermal zone.
