Main Thermostat
The main thermostat is a wired color touch
display master unit used to configure the DZK
system. It can also be used as the thermostat
for one or all of the zones.
CONTROLS AND
STANDARDS
Zone Thermostat
The zone thermostat is a wireless, battery
powered, touch display unit that is used for
one zone. Each zone thermostat monitors and
allows the user to select a comfortable room
temperature, and program or adjust the control
functions for the room.
Advantages
Reduces system hardware cost - fewer Indoor units required
Increases comfort levels by allowing more individual zone control
Reduces installation expense and maintenance costs
Reduces the amount of refrigerant required in the installation
Increases the flexibility of the VRV application design

OCCUPANCY The type of end user will often trump any other
consideration. Typically a multi-tenanted site will require a heat
recovery system as the ability for individual mode control is
paramount. Typical examples of this include hotels, assisted
living, condos as well as offices. It is always important to establish
from the outset if an office application is to have multiple tenants.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
SYSTEM SELECTION
A ground-source VRV
heat pump system combines
the advantages of both
technologies into one
system, making it one
of the most efficient HVAC
systems available and
achieving savings over
either GSHP or VRF on their
own. The constant ambient
conditions below ground
also ensure that these savings
are realized year round.

Shown here and on the following page are two options of piping
connection for the same scenario. Pipes & joints are sized for units
being served downstream. By simply having the main pipe from
the outdoor unit cut in at a different location on the circuit, there is
a marked decrease in joint & pipe sizes and therefore install costs.
