calibration (Pt1000 ohm sensor).
• Support of user dened temp. sensor type
• Integrated MODBUS communication
Injection control
Adaptive superheat control
Liquid injection in the evaporator is controlled by an electronic injection valve of the type AKV. The valve operates
as both expansion valve and solenoid valve. The controller opens and closes the valve based on sensor readings.

The superheat is measured via a pressure sensor Pe and temperature sensor S2. By using a pressure sensor, and
temperature sensor a correct measurement of superheat is achieved under all conditions which ensures a very
robust and precise control. The signal from one pressure transmitter can be shared by max. 10 controllers, but only if
there is no signicant pressure dierence between the evaporators in question.
The function contains an adaptive algorithm which independently adjusts the valve’s opening so that the
evaporator constantly supplies optimum amount of refrigerant.
Adaptive liquid control
Adaptive liquid control is used in trans-critical CO
2
ejector systems, which allow liquid ow. When adaptive liquid
control is initiated, the superheat of the evaporator will be minimized so that a controlled amount of liquid is
present at the outlet of the evaporator.
