Samsung DVM S and Mini DVM S Eco
System Training
Option B: Online/Onsite Technical Training
Required for those who cannot attend the 2-Day Training
This is a three-step training course designed to train an individual who
wants to purchase a Samsung DVM S System on how to install and
start the system.
Steps include:
Step 1: Take online four-hour training course
Step 2: Design phase
• Meet with your sales representative and operations engineer onsite
to review the design and layout of your system
Step 3: Final Installation Training
• Meet with your sales representative and Jacco’s Service Manager to
review the unique features of your system/building and to ask/answer
any specific remaining questions.
Samsung VRF Piping
• During brazing, use low pressure nitrogen to
prevent carbon buildup, which can cause
contamination of the system.
Purging with Nitrogen

VRF Concept –
• Think of a VRF system as a heat pump chiller that
circulates refrigerant to each zone instead of water
• A VRF heat pump system is equivalent to a 2 pipe chiller
– Smaller heat/cool changeover zones
• A VRF heat recovery system is equivalent to a 4 pipe

Why VRF
Energy Efficiency - INVERTER-driven compressor technology, can simultaneously heat and cool, virtually
eliminating duct loss.
Zoned Comfort - Each individual zone can have personalized comfort as the system delivers the right
amount of refrigerant to precisely meet the load in a space.
Quiet Operation - Indoor and outdoor units are so quiet that they can be placed just about anywhere, giving

Metrics - IEER
• IEER vs. IPLV
– IPLV did not consistently set part
load capacities.
• Not accurate for multi-stage
or VFD compressors
– IEER requires ratings at specific
load conditions
• Uses sliding ambient
temperature scale (IPLV was
fixed at 80°F)
ASHRAE – Standards 15 & 34
Safety Requirements for Refrigerating
Systems
ASHRAE 15
The purpose of Standard 15 is to ensure the safe
design, construction, installation and operation of
refrigeration systems by establishing safeguards
for, health, and property and prescribing specific
safety requirements.
ASHRAE 15/34
•Establishes maximum allowable volume of R410A refrigerant
concentration level (RCL) in an occupied space
•26 lbs per 1000 cubic feet for commercial and residential
occupancies
•13 lbs per 1000 cubic feet for institutional occupancies
Occupied Space
• Occupied space is the smallest room volume.
• Other spaces not air tight to the smallest room are
considered as part of it.
– Example:
• False ceiling voids.
• Crawl ways.
• Ducts.
• Movable partitions.
• Doors with transfer grilles.
• Undercut Doors
Example
Occupied space
12 x 12 x 9 ft
= 1296 ft3
Calculation
• R410A Refrigerant (proposed limit)
– Max ref charge = max concentration x vol small
space.
– Max ref charge = .026lb x 1296 ft3.
– Max ref charge = 33.69 lbs
Door Grille
Door undercut
1” x 36 = 36 sq in
Occupied space = ?
Refrigerant Alarms
• Refrigerant detectors and alarms are permitted by the
standard.
• Detectors and alarms must be appropriately maintained.
• Refrigerant detectors cost about $500 each.
• Generally not feasible due to high cost.
Zoning System Lay Out
VRF Zoning & System Layout
• Make you think about all variables..
• Considerations before you begin
– Listen to what the customer is asking for…
– Common VRF misconceptions
– Controls / CU/FC Selections
– Building diversity & zoning overview
– Efficiency benefits of heat recovery
– Practical example exercise
Before You Begin - Back to Basics
• Listen first, then take the time to evaluate the
possible options that can be offered to the
customer
– Do they need individual control in every
zone/room?
– Are they more concerned about first cost or
system efficiency/operating cost?
Total First Costs
Running Costs
Total Life Cycle Costs
Zone Control
Before You Begin - Back to Basics
• Make sure you understand both the customer’s
needs and wants for their particular project
– Do they need simultaneous heating and
cooling?
• If yes, is there load diversity in the building to
take advantage of this?

VRF Indoor Units
• Reasons for using particular indoor units
– Ducted units
• Common areas
• Open plan areas
• Offices or cubicle farms on one heat/cool
changeover group
• Think “VAV” approach
VRF Indoor Units
• Reasons for using particular indoor units
– Non-ducted units
• Single rooms, offices or zones requiring individual
temp. and/or operation mode control
• Equipment rooms, electrical risers or IT rooms
(RAC single split or CAC one-to-one systems)
• Zones where ductwork is impractical or cost
prohibitive
Mode Change Units
(Heat Recovery)
3 Sizes available
– 2, 4 & 6 port
Common Misconceptions
• VRF just a large multi-split system
– VRF is a modular heat pump chiller that is
circulating refrigerant instead of water
• I have to put an indoor unit in every room
– Think about the design layout the way you
would design a VAV system
Common Misconceptions
• VRF is only good if I need ductless
– This can leads to an indoor unit in every
room/zone
– Over 50% of VRF indoor units sold in North
America are actually ducted units
• The whole application must be VRF
– Combine VRF with rooftop units for large
open plan spaces or large amount of outside
air
– Mix and match HP and HR to suit the
application
Diversity & Zoning

“Block Load” Review
• Systems selections are based on indoor peak loads and
overall system block loads
• The system block load can be defined as the largest sum
of all zone loads at any one time of day (year)
– Here are load calculations for three different times of day. The
largest total load occurs at 12:00pm. This would then be your block
load used to size the ODU.
70
“Block Load” Review
• You’ll notice zones A and C have a higher load at
a different time of day
71
“Block Load” Review
• Zone peak and system block
loads need to be determined
before beginning
• Piping lengths need to be
determined or estimated to
account for adequate capacity
de-rates
• You wouldn’t size a chiller system
without this information and this
shouldn’t be any different
– VRF is simply a small heat pump
chiller that is circulating
refrigerant instead of water

Considerations for higher connection

Heat Recovery Systems
• Guidelines on when and
where to use heat
recovery mode change
units
– Conference rooms
– Hotel applications
– Multiple tenant/shared
condenser
applications
– Nursing Homes
– Building areas with
usable diversity
Building Example
• 10,000 ft² single floor office space
– 4 open plan office spaces, 8 single offices & a server room
– Office Space has a peak load of 26 tons & block load of 20 tons
• Customer requests temperature control in each room

*Nominal conditions with no correction factors have been used for example purposes only
Building Example - HP
• The most cost effective way is to design around heat pumps, right?
• This project consists of 3 main heat cool changeover groups
– This would mean 3 VRF heat pump outdoor units
– Approximate VRF Installed Cost = 100% (this will be used as the
baseline cost)

Ventilation Market Requirements
• Direct Method
• Integrated Method
• Separate Method (Decoupled)
Direct Method
• Untreated ventilation is supplied directly to the indoor
unit
• Small projects where low cfm volumes are required
• Projects with budget constraints
• Suitable for mild climates
Direct Method
• Checklist Indoor unit Mixed Air Conditions
– Indoor unit type must have
ventilation capability
• Ducted
• Cassettes
– A booster fan may be required
• If using a booster fan Interlock
with indoor unit
– Mixed air must be within the
indoor unit limitations
– Unit control must be from the
space temperature not return air
– Indoor unit must be sized for both
space and ventilation loads
– Ventilation % should be
considered
Integrated Method
• Pretreated ventilation is supplied directly to the indoor unit
• Small to medium applications
• Suitable for all climates
• Allows for sharing load between ventilation system and
VRF system
“NEW” ERV The Basics
• Pre-condition the ventilation air by capturing
waste heat from the exhaust air stream
• Powered Energy Recovery
– Supply fan
– Exhaust fan
• Total Energy Recovery
– Sensible - temperature
– Latent - moisture
• Flexible control strategies
Separate Method (decoupled)
• Pretreated ventilation directly to the space
• Suitable for all applications and climates

360 Cassette – Flow Control Mechanism
• Due to the shape of the coil and chassis, booster fans are required to provide even flow
from the 360 cassette
• Each 360 Cassette has 3 booster fans that operate from 500 ~ 2,000 RPM
• These booster fans also provide air direction control similar to a standard 4-way
cassette’s louvers.
As booster fan inside makes low-pressure area nearby outlet, air flow is dragged to the low-pressure area.
