With the new Modular Multi System (MMS),
Toshiba once again demonstrate that we are in
touch with tomorrow. The design team looked to
the future to develop a highly efficient,
environmentally friendly system, with state of the
art controls.
Linking the precision performance of their leading
inverter technology with the functionality of fixed
speed units,Toshiba have created a range of
systems from 22.4 to 128.8 kW (8 to 46 hp). The
inverter unit adjusts performance to match the
desired output as each fixed speed unit operates
as needed.
Modular Multi 2 pipe, heat pump and cooling only
systems provide an economical solution to many of
your heating and cooling needs and when
combined with the Super Multi 3 pipe system,
Toshiba covers the full spectrum of VRF
applications.

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.
Since the air is conditioned locally there is no
need for large ductwork throughout the building
for the flow of heated/cooled air. Only small
pipes are necessary to carry the refrigerant to
the desired location. Because the air is cooled
to the desired temperature at the point of use,
the end user gets rapid, precise temperature
control.
When integrated with control systems the
performance can be optimised to achieve ultra
low energy consumption, particularly when
there is high diversity in the capacity demand.

Energy Efficiency
The inverter system reduces the energy
consumption by adjusting output to match capacity
demands.Toshiba’s research team has led the way
in the development of inverter technology and
continues to deliver products that are best in class.
Refrigerant Detection and Containment
System (RDC)
As an additional precaution an optional refrigerant
detection system is available. This senses the air
quality within a room and if refrigerant levels
exceed preset limits, it will emit an audible alarm
and transmit a signal that can activate auxiliary
valves, isolating the indoor unit from the system
and preventing further leakage to the environment.

General Information
Benefits of the Modular Multi System
Applying the Modular Multi System is easy. The following flowchart outlines the basic steps of the
process, which are typical for almost all air conditioning applications.This manual is structured with
separate chapters focusing on each of the steps along with a separate chapter on each type of indoor
unit.We have also included a chapter which outlines an example of an MMS application.
As with all air conditioning applications, proper zoning is important.
Zoning
Indoor units connected to a common system should have similar
loading characteristics, thus minimising the potential for conflicting
demand.
Indoor unit
selection
Capacity
correction
Outdoor unit
selection
Piping design
Indoor units are selected based on the predicted heat load as well
as the style and layout of the space to be air conditioned. Air
distribution and sound level characteristics may also be factors for
consideration.
Indoor unit capacity will be adjusted based on the expected length
and height of pipe runs and environmental conditions.
The outdoor unit capacity is then determined, based on the
expected demand.This is calculated by summing the capacity of the
indoor network and predicting the peak load.
The piping network for the indoor units will be based on the zoning
requirements and building layout. Numerous options are available
due to the flexibility of the system.
Controls selection
Wiring design
14
The controls selection is dependent on the specification. Toshiba
has a wide range of control systems available and has collaborated
with customers on the development of unique systems to meet
specific application requirements.
Each of the indoor and outdoor units will have its own power supply.
Control wiring requirements will be determined by the controls
selection.
Indoor units
Intelligent Indoor Units
11
The Modular Multi System indoor units are compatible with both the Cooling Only and Heat Pump outdoor
units. The MMS dedicated indoor range has precise capacity control.
Each MMS indoor unit has the following additional components:
•Pressure and temperature sensors to determine the superheat conditions of the refrigerant
•A pulsed modulating valve (PMV) to optimise refrigerant flow
•A printed circuit board to communicate system parameters and demand to the outdoor system
2
Temperature sensors
The added intelligence of the indoor units provides precise capacity control without a multi controller
unit. Localised sensing of the refrigerant conditions and internal controls provide excellent performance
in all conditions.The units compensate for the piping resistances allowing greater flexibility in piping
design. Communication between the indoor and outdoor network means greater performance and
efficiency as system output closely matches the demand of the indoor network.
Pulsed modulating valve
Pressure sensor capillary
Modular Multi System
Very good capacity control because of the indoor unit knows the exact superheat value through constant
monitoring of the coil temperature sensors and the pressure sensor. This allows the PMVs to adjust and
account for all resistance in the circuit and achieve the desired capacity.

De-rating
1.The Modular Multi indoor units have a de-rating option that can be implemented to match actual load
requirements.The full output range including the de-rated units is outlined in the table shown.
2.When an indoor unit is derated the initial opening pulse of the indoor unit PMV is adjusted according
to the capacity rating.
3a. In cooling code, the PMV pulse is then adjusted along with the inverter compressor frequency to
ensure optimum superheat conditions at each indoor unit.
3b. In heating mode, the PMV pulse is then adjusted along with the outdoor unit PMV & inverter
frequency to ensure the optimum subcooling condition at each indoor unit.
* For all practical purposes NR and NC curves may be regarded as mutually interchangeable. (Ref: CIBSE Guide Vol. B, page12-4. )

Air Distribution Control
Conditioned air can be distributed through 2, 3 or 4 sides of the unit to optimise the flow distribution in a
room. Insulation blocks are included with the unit to close off the airflow to certain sides of the unit.The
diagram below defines which sides of the unit may be closed for each of the capacities.
Choose the number of airflows that are required, depending on the shape of the room and the location of
the indoor unit.

Design Features
Flexible Air Distribution
Conditioned air can be distributed through 2, 3 or 4 sides of the unit. In addition, a motorised louvre
facility allows the air to be directed in either a pre-set or a sweep pattern. Cassettes also have a branch
duct facility for better air distribution in irregular shaped rooms.The combination of these two features
gives the occupants total control over air movement within the room via an easy-to-use remote controller.
Fresh Air Facility
An additional advantage of Toshiba’s 4-way cassettes is that outdoor air, as well as conditioned air, can
be introduced into the room. (Tempering to 15°C minimum is recommended.)
Quiet Operation
Noise levels have been reduced dramatically, thanks to the specially designed fan inlet that smoothes the
airstream as it flows into an aerofoil fan and aerodynamic louvres.
Performance Tuning
Units are preset to a standard setting, however capacity code adjustments can be made to optimise
cooling or heating.
Precise Capacity Control
Each indoor unit has pressure and temperature sensors for localised monitoring of refrigerant condition. A
pulsed modulating valve (PMV) controls the refrigerant flow and the capacity demand is communicated to
the outdoor system. This ensures excellent performance at all conditions. A 3-speed fan controls the
cooled airflow volume automatically or manually (4-speed heating mode). Even at the highest fan speed,
the unit is quiet in operation.
Easy to Install and Maintain
The 4-way cassette can be concealed within most ceiling voids, with an ultra-thin 20 mm grille. This onepiece panel is easy to install. Its surface is easy to wipe clean, a feature it shares with the synchronised
louvre blades.The long-life washable filter also minimises maintenance.

Drain Piping
Precautions
Ensure that the entire indoor drain piping is correctly heat-insulated otherwise condensation may result.
Also, insulate the section which connects it to the indoor unit.
If nylon cable ties are used to secure the insulation, take precautions not to over-tighten them because
deformation of the heat insulation will reduce its effectiveness.
Ta ke care not to apply excessive force or pressure at the unit side where the drain piping exits the indoor
unit.
The drain piping must be placed on a downward gradient (1/100 or greater) and there should be no
upward or downward curves in the pipe which obstruct the drainage, unless a drain pump is employed.
The drain pipe should be sufficiently supported to prevent warpage.
When one drainage system is used for a multiple of indoor units, install the piping as shown below:
