Introduction

Application

Refrigeration appliance control with great exibility to adapt to refrigeration appliances and cold storage rooms.

Advantages:

• Control of Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TEV) and Electronic Expansion valve(EEV) applications

• Quick set-up with predened settings

• Easy conguration and service using a mobile app with Bluetooth

• Adaptive Minimum Stable Superheat (MSS) control is performed with lowest possible superheat

• Allows the suction pressure to be raised several degrees

• Adaptive Liquid Control (ALC) can be performed with superheat down to 0 degrees on transcritical CO2systems

with liquid ejectors

Principle

The temperature in the appliance is registered by one or two temperature sensors which are located in the air ow

before the evaporator (S3) or after the evaporator (S4) respectively. A setting for thermostat, alarm thermostat and

display reading determines the inuence the two sensor values should have for each individual function.

The temperature of the evaporator is registered with the S5 sensor which can be used as a defrosting sensor.

In addition to the output of the electronic AKV injection valve, the controller has relay outputs which are dened by

the application setting

Data communication

The AK-CC55 Compact controller has built-in MODBUS data communication only.

AK-CC55 Compact

Compact version for controlling one evaporator.

An application mode setting will congure inputs and outputs for the desired use. There are nine applications to

choose from.

Regulation is performed using a TXV in combination with a liquid line solenoid valve, controlling a compressor or an

AKV expansion valve.

AK-CC55 Compact is without display, and can be extended with one external display (see Figure 3 and Figure 4):

External display

There are three versions available with dierent functions:

• AK-UI55 Info: Temperature display.

• AK-UI55 Set: Temperature display with control buttons on the front.

• AK-UI55 Bluetooth: Temperature display with Bluetooth communication, for use with AK-CC55 Connect Mobile

app.

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.

Figure 8: Adaptive superheat control with AKV valve

AKV

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 CO2ejector 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.

AK-CC55 Compact

This type of control requires that the controller receives an on/o signal from (for example) a suction accumulator in

the suction line.

Figure 9: Adaptive liquid control with AKV valve

A level switch in the tank will register when the liquid level exceeds the max. level. When this happens, the

controller will switch to dry expansion, and then back to liquid control when the liquid level has dropped. The

function is dened in setting o02, o37 or o84.

The function can also be activated via data communication from a system unit. If the adaptive liquid control signal is

lost, the controller will automatically switch back to dry expansion.

WARNING:

Accidental actuation may allow liquid throughput to the compressor. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that

signal loss to the controller will not result in liquid throughput to the compressor. Danfoss accepts no responsibility

for damage resulting from inadequate installation.

Thermostatic expansion valve control

In the compact version the refrigeration (injection) can be controlled either by starting/stopping a compressor or by

opening/closing a solenoid valve in the liquid line.

valve, expansion valve and sensor positions

Brine control

When changing from ON/OFF control to modulating control in TXV applications, a solenoid valve can be PWM

controlled with a set period time from 30 – 900 sec. A number of additional brine control parameters are available in

the injection control menu. When brine control is enabled, a dedicated brine defrost can also be set up in order to

force open the brine valve while defrosting.
