Software helps design Panasonic VRF air-conditioning systems

Panasonic, VRF air conditioning

Panasonic’s ECOi VRF Designer software enables systems designers, installers and dealers to very quickly design and size systems using Panasonic’s VRF range, create wiring diagrams and issue bills of quantities.

The program continuously checks system designs for piping limitations in terms of height and length, capacity matches between indoor and outdoor units, correct piping and correct wiring. Correction factors are automatically applied to the capacity of indoor units depending on height differences, piping lengths, indoor/outdoor ratio capacity and design conditions.

VRF Designer will also calculate the quantity of refrigerant required.
