VRF is very simplified refrigerant piping system. More flexible than water piping.
Feature Chiller system MULTI V III (VRF)
System Chiller Cooling tower Outdoor unit (air-cooled type)

composition FCU (Fan Coil Unit) Water piping, Duct working Indoor unit
AHU (Air Handling Unit) Water pumps Refrigerant piping

5. Maintenance Comparison Water treatment

(For Chiller Water treatment is required for clean water)
Water Water treatment is required

No water treatment is needed
treatment (deficient service can cause legionary disease in the system)
<Polluted Cooling Tower>
5. Maintenance Comparison Scale cleaning

(For Chiller) Maintenance & cleaning periodically by exclusive company
Scale Need to clean the water pipes

No water pipes : No scale (use refrigerant)

5. Maintenance Comparison Maintenance Staff

(For Chiller) Certified maintenance staff is needed

The system requires certified maintenance
Maintenance staff not only for chillers but also pumps, No need special maintenance staff.
Staff boilers, cooling towers etc. Economic and easy maintenance
More expensive maintenance cost.
< Maintenance Staff> <NO Maintenance Staff>
6. Reliability Comparison Pipe Erosion

Reliability
(For Chiller) Certified maintenance staff is needed

Pipe erosion can cause leakage.
Pipe System capacity reduction. Refrigerant does not cause corrosion therefore
Erosion Brines use increase corrosion, anti corrosion no pipe damage occurred
additives needed
< Water pipe leakage > <Cooper Pipe>
