Our Water-Based DVM Chiller Solution: Modular & flexible
DVM systems combine benefits of VRF and Chiller technologies to provide a chilled water solution suitable for retrofit and new design projects.
The DVM Chillers water-based concept eliminates the need for refrigerant inside the building1 and these systems offer the added advantage of being able to connect to any kind of water-based cooling system (such as AHUs and Chilled Water Fan Coils).
How does DVM Chiller work
As an air-to-water heat pump, our DVM Chiller uses water as a cooling medium to help you control your building’s climate. The DVM Chiller system can be connected to a variety of indoor Fan Coil Units (FCUs) such as the 360 Cassette or a one-way cassette, via water piping to provide cooling and heating to individual zones. It can also be connected to thermal storage systems and hot water systems.
Key features of DVM Chiller systems
Energy efficient
DVM Chillers are also optimised for energy efficiency², with high-performance compressors, advanced control systems, and other energy-saving technologies. When connecting multiple DVM Chiller units within a single system, the workload is adjusted automatically for maximum efficiency³.
Compact design
The DVM outdoor unit is both compact and lightweight, weighing in at just 450kg per unit, and measuring 1795mm by 765mm. This means you can easily combine and install multiple units even when space is limited. Plus, the Chiller's compact size can reduce transportation, installation, and relocation costs and efforts, making it more cost-effective.
Modular concept
The DVM Chiller follows a modular concept, allowing you to connect up to 16 outdoor units with a capacity range of 12 ton to 320 ton.
Future-ready investment
By utilizing water for both cooling and heating of any type of space, an DVM Chiller system eliminates the need for refrigerant inside the building. Compared to traditional VRF systems, this climate solution can reduce the refrigerant charge by up to 65%¹. This can make it a future-ready investment, considering refrigerant restrictions that are being implemented.
Versatile and flexible solution
Offers connectivity to any kind of Chilled Water Fan Coil Units (FCUs) or other water heat exchangers such as third-party FCUs, Air Handling Units (AHUs).
Easy control and maintenance:
With our Data Management Server, DMS 2.5, maintenance providers can easily manage and control your VRF Chiller system. The standardized control system can also integrate with third-party Building Management Systems (BMS) like BACNet and LonWorks.
Service and support
Samsung provides comprehensive service and support for its DVM Chillers, including installation, maintenance, repair and replacement services.

- ¹ The refrigerant charge of a DVM Chiller is up to 65 % lower than in traditional VRF systems. Compared to a Samsung DVM S 60 HP, holding R410A refrigerant, connected to twelve 14 kW indoor units and 100 meters of pipes.
- ² DVM Chiller outdoor units have a SEER (Nominal Cooling) of 5.7. Tested based on the AG042 model at test conditions: Water 35°C DB (Dry Bulb) without pump input. Results may vary depending on environmental factors and induvidual use.
- ³ At low load, the varying outdoor units are switched on at alternate intervals. At average load, the outdoor units are operated at partial load to optimise efficiency. At maximum load, all compressors of all outdoors unit are operated at maximum capacity.
