VRF Condensing Unit – AutoCAD Drawing and Design Overview

What Is a VRF Condensing Unit?

A VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) condensing unit is the heart of a VRF air-conditioning system. It controls the flow of refrigerant to multiple indoor units, allowing simultaneous cooling or heating across zones.
In AutoCAD drawings, a VRF condensing unit is represented as a compact HVAC block placed on the mechanical roof plan or equipment layout.

These units are popular in commercial, residential, and mixed-use buildings because they offer energy efficiency, flexibility, and modular expansion.

Main Components

A complete VRF condensing unit typically includes:

• Compressor modules – variable-speed inverter-driven compressors.
• Refrigerant piping connections – suction and discharge lines.
• Electronic expansion valves – maintain refrigerant flow balance.
• Control boards – manage communication between outdoor and indoor units.
• Fan and coil assembly – air-cooled heat exchange unit.

AutoCAD Block Information

The VRF Condensing Unit DWG block contains:

• Top and front views with standard HVAC layer naming.
• Accurate connection points for liquid and gas piping.
• Dimension reference for unit placement and coordination.
• Editable attributes for equipment tag, capacity, and manufacturer.

It’s compatible with AutoCAD 2010 and above, as well as DraftSight and BricsCAD.

Application in Design

VRF systems are ideal for:

• Office buildings and hotels with variable load requirements.
• Apartments or villas needing zone control.
• Retrofit projects where ductwork is limited.

Using standardized DWG blocks for the condensing unit ensures consistent symbol usage and easier coordination with mechanical and electrical layouts.

How to Use

1. Download the DWG file.
2. Insert it into your HVAC equipment layout.
3. Connect refrigerant lines to indoor units via Y-joint fittings.
4. Add annotation tags for capacity (e.g., 8HP, 10HP).
5. Include reference to manufacturer (Daikin, Mitsubishi, LG, etc.).
