Clivet’s latest VRF on R32

ITALY: Clivet’s new VRF CVT9 series of VRF heat pumps, using R32, are available in capacities from 25.2kW to 45kW.

These Eurovent-certified units feature an EVI inverter scroll compressor and enlarged surface 310° heat exchanger, enabling them to achieve SCOPs up to 4.9 and SEERs up to 8.6.

Available in five sizes 25.2kW, 28,kW, 33.5kW, 40kW and 45 kW, up to two modules can be combined to reach a total capacity of 90kW. Operating range is from -15°C to 55°C in cooling and from -30°C to 30°C in heating.

Installation operations quicker and more flexible by taking advantage of the free topology EasyCom communication bus.

The included SafeBox 2 system, with its IP68 protection rating, isolates electronic components from rain, dust and humidity, while shut-off valve boxes and leak sensors stop the refrigerant flow in the event of anomalies.

To ensure maximum stability, the circuit boards are actively cooled by the refrigerant circuit, maintaining an ideal operating temperature of 30°C.

The fan can be set to ensure up to 120Pa of available pressure. In this way, the outdoor unit can be installed in areas where the correct natural air flow cannot be ensured, ducting the air exhaust from the unit to the outside 

New features arriving in 2027 will allow the system to connect directly to a PV plant, without installing a dedicated inverter, thanks to the new DC power supply setup.
