Abstract: A variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system for a building. The VRF system includes at least one outdoor VRF unit configured to heat or cool a refrigerant for use in heating or cooling the building. The at least one outdoor VRF unit includes a sub-cooler and a bypass expansion valve configured to control a flow of the refrigerant through the sub-cooler and an extremum-seeking controller configured to generate a sub-cooling temperature setpoint for the at least one outdoor VRF unit. The extremum-seeking controller is configured to determine a total power consumption of the at least one outdoor VRF unit, generate a sub-cooling temperature setpoint for the at least one outdoor VRF unit using an extremum-seeking control technique that drives the total power consumption toward an extremum, and use the sub-cooling temperature setpoint to operate the at least one outdoor VRF unit.

Abstract: A variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system for a building includes a plurality of outdoor VRF units configured to heat or cool a refrigerant for use in heating or cooling the building and an extremum-seeking controller. The extremum-seeking controller is configured to determine a total power consumption of the plurality of outdoor VRF units, generate a pressure setpoint for the plurality of outdoor VRF units using an extremum-seeking control technique that drives the total power consumption toward an extremum, and use the pressure setpoint to operate the plurality of outdoor VRF units.
