Introduction
Features and Benefits

VRV Heat Pumps are a highly efficient method of conditioning a space.

Daikin invented the technology in 1982. Refrigerant matched precisely
with the load, rather than water or air, is used to transfer
heat within the room.
»» Simplified Installation: A simple modular design allows for quick
and easy installation often within a day’s work.
»» Scalable Design: The modular design of VRV systems allows for
the flexibility of simplified future expansion.
»» Quiet Operation: Standard low operating sound levels for
undisturbed home comfort.
»» Year Round Comfort: Wide range of operation with heat pump
heating down to -4º F, connection of gas furnace for colder climates,
and cooling up to 122º F.
»» Individual Comfort: Personal comfort control in each room or zone.
»» Total Zone Control: Cool or heat only the rooms needing
indoor comfort.
»» Daikin residential (RXSQ) VRV LIFE™ systems are AHRI certified in
accordance with Standard 210/240 for unitary air-conditioning
and air source heat pump equipment.

Inverter Driven Compressors

The inverter driven compressor is the heart of Daikin’s VRV system to help
maximize energy savings. Daikin’s inverter technology is responsible for
delivering intelligent comfort, at a variable capacity, with efficiency, based
on demand.
Variable Capacity Output
Daikin’s inverter driven compressors will only provide the required amount
of refrigerant needed to meet the capacity demand. Daikin inverter
technology helps systems run at an energy-conserving level, despite
the climate conditions, by making slight adjustments to the compressor’s
speed. Daikin inverter systems will reach the desired temperature faster
and maintain a more constant temperature compared to traditional
Desired speed ON/OFF systems. It will
not frequently start and
stop the “old fashioned
way” just as a car is more
speed

efficient and comfortable

traveling on a highway
than it is in stop-and-go
Time city traffic.

Less Energy Consumption

With an inverter driven compressor, average energy 30%
savings of 30% are easily obtainable, when compared
to traditional DX systems.

Efficient Part Load Performance

Daikin’s inverter driven VRV system operates most
efficiently in part load conditions. A VRV LIFE™ system
will operate most of the time at part load conditions.
75%
(A typical VRV system will run 3/4 of its operating hours
at less than 70% of full capacity.)

First VRV with Dual Fuel Capabilities

Daikin has continued on the path of continuous

innovation with the VRV LIFE™, optimized for
residential applications.
Daikin’s VRV LIFE includes several new
beneficial features. Not least, the first VRV
heat pump system that can pair with a
gas furnace.

Refrigerant Piping Connections
Standard pipe sizes are recommended. However, there are applications
where larger sized refrigerant lines exist due to previously installed HVAC
systems. Replacement of existing refrigerant lines can pose challenges,
VRV LIFE™ systems can be configured to re-use these refrigerant lines.
See the table below for allowable connection sizes. See ODU installation
manual for field settings when using non-standard sizes.

Refrigerant Piping Insulation

It is recommended that both the liquid and gas refrigerant lines are
insulated. Liquid line insulation is imperative in the following situations:
»» If it is intended to operate the system at reverse ambient
temperatures (ex. Cooling: outdoor temp<indoor temp).
»» If the ODU(s) is above the IDU(s)
In applications with existing liquid main line
sets, insulation may be excluded provided
the conditions above do not apply.
»» However accessible portions and
portions located outside must
be insulated.
A field setting is required based on
gas pipe size and liquid line insulation
(See installation manual). Factory
Default Setting:
–– Gas Pipe = >standard
–– Liquid pipe = insulated

EXPOSED units often offer the home owner the most economical
installed cost solution on a VRV LIFE™ system. These types of units are
ideal for applications that do not have a ceiling void available or the attic
does not allow for a viable duct run. Exposed units are common in historic
homes or applications where minimal reconstructive work is desired.

Considerations:
»» How big is the space?
»» Where can the unit be located?
»» Is piping/condensate run clear?
»» Is the home owner accepting of exposed units?

Remote Temperature Sensors:

Most applications do not require the use of a remote
temperature sensor. Typically an IDU will use an
internal return air temperature sensor or the sensor
on the navigation remote control for feedback to
condition the space.
However, there are applications in which the unit
may not have a return air sensor and/or the navigation
control location is not ideal for temperature sensing.
These applications require the use of a remote
temperature sensor.
Note: The FXTQ and the CXTQ must use the navigation control or a
remote temperature sensor (KRCS01-2UA) as they do not have a return
air sensor within the unit

Installation Considerations

Outdoor Unit Installation Space

The three primary criteria to consider
when installing the ODU are
Air Starvation, Short Circuiting,
and Service Space.
Be sure to consider environmental
effects such as wind and snow that
can potentially impact performance
of the ODU.
Required service clearances for common standalone ODU configurations
are shown below. For further details and example configurations
please refer to the installation manual.

exposed to snow consider (5” Clearance)

the following:
»» Elevate the foundation Air Adjustment Grille
as high as possible (P/N KPW5E112) Headwind

»» Attach a snow hood

(field supplied)
»» Remove the rear inlet
grille to prevent snow
from accumulating on

Strong Wind Exposure

Strong winds (≥11 mph) may force recirculation of exhaust air into the
inlet resulting in a deterioration of the system performance and possible
increased frost formation in heating mode. Consider wind effects when
placing the outdoor unit and using a wind baffle.
ODU Model Wind Baffle Model
RXSQ24TA-RXSQ48TA KPW5E112
RXSQ60TA KPW5E80 x 2

Indoor Installation of ODU

It is permissible to install the ODU indoors if it is necessary. The same
space rules apply as in enclosed areas. Airflow must not be restricted.
Each unit has a maximum static pressure of 0.10" W.C.
Short circuiting and air starvation must also be addressed.

42
Receiver Tank Kit Installation
A receiver (liquid refrigerant tank) is required in applications where the RXSQ
is connected to both a gas furnace and other VRV IDUs.
The receiver kit (BHL-02A) ships from the factory in a sheet metal
enclosures. The refrigerant tank is independent of refrigerant flow direction.
Either one of the 3/8” connections can be connected to the liquid connection
on the ODU.
Adhere to the following installation guidelines:
»» Install the tank in the nearest
and most convenient location
to the ODU near the liquid
service valve. The tank can
be oriented to the front, rear,
or side of the ODU.
»» Refer to the ODU installation 7.91”

manual for clearance and

service space around

Heat Pump Changeover

There are four ways to provide heat/cool changeover on a VRV LIFE™ system.

Master
Controller
Return Air
Sensor

MANUAL
CHANGEOVER AUTO CHANGEOVER
via Master via Master Unit
Controller

Master
Unit

Master Unit
The simplest way to address heat/cool changeover automatically is to
nominate a master unit. When the unit’s return air sensor measures outside
the temperature set point limitation, the unit switches itself and all other
units on the system to the different mode.
Master Controller
Similar to the previous option except mode selection is made manually by
a designated master controller. Again, all other units on the system will
switch mode in unison.
Note: A common pitfall is to elect an area that is not in constant use or
has no easy access to all occupants (bedroom). In both applications above,
if the unit isn’t running then mode change is not possible without
manual intervention.

47
Heat Pump Changeover

AUTO CHANGEOVER
Ambient
Sensor via Master Unit

MANUAL
CHANGEOVER

Summer/Winter Switch
A Daikin supplied switch is attached to “ABC” terminals on the outdoor
unit to allow manual change over from a central location. This is common in
applications that usually require year round cooling.
3rd Party Ambient Sensor
This option was developed to provide an automatic version of summer/
winter switch previously described. A remote ambient sensor will dictate
when mode change occurs. Although possible, it is an option rarely seen
on residential applications.
Summary: With ALL changeover options, when a system mode is changed,
the indoor units on the system are not forced into heating or cooling. If there
is no demand in the room for the mode that has been selected, the unit(s)
will run in fan only mode.

48
Auxiliary Heat

VRV LIFE™ systems (RXSQ) can provide heat pump heating with
ambient temperatures as low as -4º F. However, it may be necessary to
incorporate an auxiliary heat source to avoid oversizing the ODU to meet
a low design day temperature or for heating in temperatures below -4º F.
The switchover point from VRV heating to auxiliary heating is typically
based on a balance point considering several factors such as climate,
load, available capacity, fuel/system cost, and environmental impact.

Gas Heat vs Heat Pump Auto Changeover

VRV LIFE™ systems are capable of auto switchover from heat pump heating
to gas heat at a gas furnace ambient engage temperature (balance point).
A recommended switchover temperature is calculated in the WebXpress
selection software and is configured at the ODU.
»» Balance point: (G/F Engage Temp) is a field setting on the
ODU, calculated balance point must correspond to valid
field setting (2-14)
»» Heat load: linear approximation from inputted heat load at

Similar changeover logic is available for each
VRV IDU via the Auxiliary heat PCB (KRP1C

A third party auxiliary heating device
(ex. Electric heater) is required.
This would be necessary for zones
needing auxiliary heat and that are
being conditioned solely by a VRV IDU
(no gas furnace).

Note: The FXTQ IDU has the option of integrated auxiliary electric heat up to
25 kW without the need of the KRPIC 74/75.

Refrigerant Piping Design

REFNETs
REFNET joints and headers are a factory designed option for the branching
within the refrigerant piping network. These fittings are engineered to allow
for uniform refrigerant flow and distribution, and smooth oil return.
