TOSHIBA UNVEILS 7TH GENERATION VRF SYSTEM,
SMMS-U, WITH CLASS-LEADING EFFICIENCY,
ADAPTABILITY AND CONNECTIVITY
Toshiba has unveiled the seventh generation of its industry-leading VRF (Variable
Refrigerant Flow) air conditioning system for centralised cooling and heating of
commercial buildings. Completely redesigned
from the ground up, Toshiba claims its
innovative SMMS-u VRF has top-class
e iciency, adaptability and connectivity, as
well as its ease of installation and yearround
comfort control. Among several new
technologies is Toshiba’s exclusive triple
rotary compressor for even greater e iciency,
a space-e icient chassis and a high-capability communications protocol.
Energy consumption is minimised through the combination of the proprietary
triple rotary compressor and super-e icient heat exchanger. These technologies
position the SMMS-u as a sector-leading VRF in seasonal e iciency that helps
building owners and tenants reduce their energy bills. Notably, e iciency is
also assured in part-load conditions, which prevail 90% of the time in typical
commercial settings.
Nine single VRF modules from 8 to 24HP and up to five outdoor units can
be combined to achieve 120HP in a total building system. Alongside free
combination possibilities, around 3,000 possible solutions can be created
to meet requirements in terms of e iciency, capacity, refrigerant amount or
footprint. With total system pipe lengths of up to 1,200m, and the ability to
connect up to 128 indoor units, SMMS-u can be used in virtually any commercial
building, new-build or refurbishment.
