VRV IV keeps customers comfortable in Vodafone’s new store
The ability to react quickly to rapid changes in demand, plus its quiet operation, was key to Vodafone choosing a VRV IV climate control system for its new retail outlet in Gyula.
The discrete indoor units match the interior design scheme perfectly; they are also very quiet and easy to control.

Daikin has supplied climate control systems to most of Vodafone’s stores in Hungary. One of the latest to open is in Gyula, 250km south east of the capital Budapest.
As in most retail environments, demands on heating and cooling in the 250m2 store can vary dramatically throughout the year. It was vital, therefore, to ensure the chosen climate control system had the ability to react quickly, not only to changes in the outdoor temperature, but also to how many customers were shopping in the store.
VRV IV provided the ideal solution. Along with inverter control, the latest version of Daikin’s market-leading system features Variable Refrigerant Temperature technology, which continually adjusts refrigerant temperature to match heating or cooling demand and the outside temperature quickly. This means less power is needed, efficiency is higher and comfort is improved.
One VRV IV Classic outdoor unit serves four ceiling suspended units in the Gyula store. These discrete units match Vodafone’s interior design schemes perfectly, with the added benefit that they are very quiet in operation and allow staff to set comfort levels simply and accurately.
The compact HVAC system components can be installed in small voids, making them ideal for refurbishment projects.
The ceiling suspended indoor units and fresh air inlets are hidden above the store’s elegant false ceiling.
Daikin’s wired controllers are simple to use, allowing staff to maintain a comfortable shopping environment.
