Dubai, United Arab Emirates , 2 June 2022 – Midea Building Technologies launches the V8 series VRF system in Dubai. This featured product is capable of addressing many of the industry’s pain points through Shieldbox, SuperSense and HyperLink technologies.

The trend of smart low-carbon solutions and the constraining of traditional VRF industry hotspots are forcing a change in the industry. Gene Sun, general manager of Midea KONG Intelligent Building Ltd, introduced the concept of iBuilding solutions. Through big data, IoT, 5G and other technologies, iBuilding solutions can achieve interoperability of humans, equipment and space throughout their life cycle.

Industry consultants exposed the critical points of the construction industry and the VRF. Vent holes in the electrical control box of traditional VRFs lead to internal device damage from sand, dust, snow, and insects, which is a major problem in various environments such as the Middle East and Africa. Installing traditional VRFs also increases construction difficulty and the repair process is costly and time consuming.

Peter Wu, chief R&D engineer of Midea DX Product Company, detailed the innovative exploration of Midea’s V8 series VRF system from the point of view of quality, design and low carbon emissions. Midea launched the industry’s first fully enclosed electrical control box (ShieldBox) to prevent internal components from damage caused by harsh environments. From the installation point of view, Midea’s self-designed communications chip (HyperLink) achieves arbitrary topology in contrast to the traditional method, which reduces installation cost and improves installation efficiency. For its operation, the V8 series VRF system is equipped with 19 sensors (SuperSense), the most complete range in the industry,

On the design front, Midea’s V8 series VRF system features a side discharge series on its outdoor unit, reducing its footprint and making it easy to transport. A diversified range of indoor units can be accessed to meet the demands of increasingly complex indoor spaces, removing height limitations for the product. In terms of power saving, Midea’s V8 series VRF also takes the lead by implementing direct current in all indoor and outdoor units, and has introduced power partitioning for zone power management.

Midea’s V8 series VRF system has obtained several certifications from Intertek, and the V8 series also received the gold award for its energy solution at the Inventions Geneva 2022 exhibition. By developing global standards for VRF systems in zero emission buildings, Midea aspires to achieve a sustainable future.
