color=#0000ff size=2>Most of the simultaneous systems we have found to be not-so
cost-effective for our clients. That isn't to say we haven't utilized them
before, but, more often, we go with the non-simultaneous kind because of the
same superior efficiencies and lower first-cost.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=123035901-20052009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>With the systems that do not simultaneously heat and cool,
very high efficiencies are still obtained due to the fact that the compressor is
only using as much energy as the system needs to remove heat from one place to
the other. This compressor speed change occurs while the evaporator and
condenser remain the same size. In the old days, If you wanted to increase the
efficiency of a refrigeration system, you increased the size of your condenser
and evaporator. With VRV, you keep the evaporator and condenser the same
size, just shrink the load you put on them. Therein lies the true genius of VRV:
the varying capacity.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=123035901-20052009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Your
statement is true about utilizing the diversity of loads to maximize efficiency,
and if you have that load diversity, you will probably find better payback and
the extra expense of the system will probably become much less of an issue. Most
of my clients are K-12 schools, and there isn't a lot of core areas, at least in
older buildings. Considering that most of my building is heating in the winter
with little to no areas requiring cooling, simultaneous heating and cooling
doesn't do me very well, hence the reason why I haven't spent time figuring out
how to make it work.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
