Basic Training Manual

PREFACE
The latest technological innovations of air conditioners make remarkable progress. We are not able to perform our duty
without mastering the proper basic theory and knowledge in service skills and techniques.
The field of VRV system particularly
shows such a rising tendency. The techniques on trouble shooting and trouble removing corresponding to the
computerized and systematized products are required. Based on these requests, therefore, we have prepared this
manual, emphasizing the understanding on VRV system.
We wish that you would use this manual as a guidebook for the service of VRV system or as a reference book for
education of service personnel, which leads to the development of skills in whole service group of Daikin.

2Introduction
1. What is a VRV System?
VRV System
Thirty or more indoor units can be connected to single system.
There are "cooling / heating selection -standard- type" and "individual operating system of
cooling and heating" according to type of the system.
One of the biggest characteristics is mounting of expansion valves ⊗to the indoor unit as
well as to the outdoor unit.
SkyAir, Residential Air Conditioner
Pair Type
Single indoor unit is connected to single outdoor unit.
(The expansion valve is mounted to the outdoor unit only.)
SKY AIR System for Simultaneous Operation (Twin, Triple, and Double-Twin)
These series are included in SkyAir. These types can be connected to two to four indoor
units to single system. However, the individual operation is not available, only the
simultaneous operation.
(The expansion valve is mounted to the outdoor unit only.)
Multi System for Individual Operation
Each indoor unit can be operated individually.
However, refrigerant piping is connected to each indoor unit using separate connecting
piping, not using halfway branch piping.
(The expansion valve is mounted to outdoor unit by each indoor unit.)
