Inverter control + energy efficiency Indoor unit – cooling mode Temperature sensors Refrigerant pipe connections Pulsed modulating valve Pressure sensor
Inverter control + energy efficiency PMV (Pulsed Modulating Valve) Maintains suction superheat at 6º Temperature sensor measures suction gas temperature Pressure sensor measures refrigerant pressure and converts it to saturated (evaporating) temperature Suction gas temperature minus evaporating temperature equals superheat High superheat – PMV opens Low superheat – PMV closes

Modular Multi System – Oil Management SV3C Pressurises oil management system TK1 Monitors flow of discharge vapour TK3 Monitors oil dilution TK2 - Monitors flow of oil out of oil vessel At the start of an oil check a record is made of the temperature at TK1, TK2 & TK3 for reference SV2 – (if in cooling mode) Adds hot gas to c/case if: TK3 < 2ºC Fan speed <20% SV3A - Adds oil to balance pipe
Modular Multi System – Oil Management Toshiba has developed an oil management system for its Modular Multi outdoor units which ensures that each compressor within the Modular Multi system operates with the optimum oil charge thus increasing compressor reliability and operating efficiency. The oil management system is time-controlled. The first check is carried out after one hour’s operation and every 30 minutes thereafter assuming that a satisfactory oil level has been determined. The temperatures measured by sensors TK1, TK2 and TK3 are stored for reference .
Modular Multi System – Oil Management When an oil check is initiated solenoid valve SV3C is energised (opened) for 15 seconds and hot (discharge) gas flows towards the oil tank past sensor TK1 Solenoid valve SV3A is energised allowing oil to flow past sensor TK2 into the compressor suction pipe. If the temperature measured at TK2 is less than that measured at TK1 it is assumed that the oil tank (and therefore the compressor) contains sufficient oil and the oil check is terminated. If the temperature measured at TK2 is the same as that measured at TK1 it is assumed that the oil tank - and therefore the compressor- is empty. .
Modular Multi System – Oil Management If the tank is empty an ‘A1’ judgement is made. An ‘A0’ judgement is made if the tank contains sufficient oil. [Refer to Page 105 of the Service Manual for further details.] In the case of an ‘A1’ judgement the system does not lock out but reschedules the next oil check after 5 minutes. If, during this 10-minute period the low oil level indication self-cancels, the system will continue to operate and carry out the next oil level check after 30 minutes. If the ‘A1’ judgement remains for a further 17 x 5 minute cycles the system will shut down and a D7 fault code will be displayed at the faulty outdoor unit. .
Modular Multi System – Oil Management Solenoid valve SV3A on the unit from which oil is to be recovered and solenoid valve SV3B on the unit which is demanding oil are both energised for 15 seconds allowing oil at discharge pressure to pass from the donor unit into the suction pipe of the recipient unit. If there is no other unit from which oil can be recovered the unit indicating a low oil level will shut down. .

What are the ‘rules’ for installation?
Installation rules All pipes must be of refrigeration quality, hard-drawn or soft copper All copper used must be new and previously unused Pipes must be cut using a pipe cutter – not a hacksaw!
Installation rules All cut pipe lengths must be capped after use If in doubt over pipe quality – don’t use it!
