General Information Benefits of VRF
The Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) product segment is one of the fastest growing areas of the air conditioning industry due to the inherent flexibility of the system. Specifiers are selecting this type of air conditioning product because it provides the economy and stability of a network system with the versatility of an independent system. The system is ideal for variable load situations such as hotels, offices and shops. VRF systems are compact and discreet which makes them ideal for applications when the air conditioning system is being retro-fitted to the existing building. [. . . ] The design also facilitates servicing, as service engineers can slide the compressor in/out on the tray. The refrigerant control circuit in the outdoor unit is equipped with two parallel pulsed modulating valves. The valves enable precise control of refrigerant volume, maintaining comfort levels, yet saving energy.

* Heating capacities only apply to heat pump systems.
By using an inverter unit or linking it with the specified fixed speed units, system capacities from 22. 4 kW to 128. 8 kW are available. The grouped systems closely match the capacity demand for the specific application and are able to adjust for the variations in load. For MMS linked systems, the inverter is always the unit closest to the indoor network and has a capacity equal to or larger than the largest fixed speed unit. The fixed speed units are linked with the largest units closest to the inverter unit. Only the system configurations outlined in the table above are authorised by Toshiba. The 16. 0 kW (6 hp) fixed speed unit is available for the 38. 4 kW (14. 0 hp) and 60. 8 kW (22 hp) only.

Outdoor Units
Benefits of Linking the Outdoor Units Include:
· · · · · Reduced costs with single inverter serving larger capacity system Reduced refrigerant charge versus sum of separate systems Unique Toshiba OMS Oil Management System allows transfer of oil between units System operation can continue during outdoor unit service Reduced riser requirements with single set of main pipes for system
Small Riser Space
Example for a 84 kW (30 hp) system
Mode Priority
This outdoor unit is set to operate with the heating mode taking precedence. This priority can be switched between Heat and Cool mode using DIP switch 07 on the outdoor unit interface PCB (MCC-1343-01).

Outdoor Units Toshiba's OMS Oil Management System
Advanced Oil Separation
Oil is retrieved from the compressor discharge with advanced separator technology.
Oil Level Verification
Compressor oil levels are continuously monitored. An oil reservoir stores and supplies oil as needed to the compressor.
Active Distribution Between Units
The balance pipe within the linked outdoor units allows oil to be transferred from one compressor to another.
Low Temperature Protection
At temperatures below 3°C, hot gas is injected in the compressor to protect against liquid in the oil.
Hourly Oil Retrieval from Network
Indoor units are flushed once per hour to recover the oil in the network.

Calculating the performance of an indoor unit during peak load
When the actual load requirement is greater that the available output (i. e. total indoor duty required: Capacity of outdoor unit, is greater than 1:1), the performance change in the indoor unit may be calculated using the instructions described in chapter 11. [. . . ]
