AK-CC55 Multi Coil

Introduction

Application

Complete refrigeration appliance control with great exibility to adapt to refrigeration appliances and cold storage

rooms.

Advantages:

• Universal controller for control of up to 3 AKV valves in same refrigeration section

• Quick set-up with predened settings

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

• Energy optimization of the whole refrigeration appliance

• 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 to three S4 air temperature sensors which can be located in

the air ow of the evaporator. A setting for display read-out determines, if thermostat A temperature, the average S4

temperature or the highest S4 temperature is read out in the display.

If two displays are connected, it can be selected to read-out thermostat A temperature in display 1 and thermostat B

temperature in display 2.

The temperature of the evaporator is registered with one or two S5 sensors which can be used as a defrosting

sensor.

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

by the application setting.

Data communication

The controller has built-in MODBUS data communication. If there is a requirement for a dierent form of data

communication, a Lon RS 485 module can be inserted in the controller.

The connection must then be to the module.

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 7: Adaptive superheat control with AKV valve

Danfoss

84B2732

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.

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

the suction line.

AK-CC55 Multi Coil

Figure 8: 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.

Temperature control

The temperature in the appliance is registered by one up to three S4 air temperature sensors.

The actual temperature control can take place in three ways (same thermostat set point used for all evaporators):

As an ON/OFF regulation with a dierential using the individual S4 sensor per evaporator.

As a modulating control, using the individual S4 sensor per evaporator.

As one ON/OFF thermostat common for all evaporators. It can be selected to use:

◦the S4A air temperature sensor,

◦the average of all S4 air temperature sensors,

◦the highest value of all S4 air temperature sensors for the common thermostat.

There is, however, a limit to the use of a modulating control as it can only be used in remote cabinets. It is not

recommended to use modulating thermostat control in low temperature applications. In applications with one

evaporator and one compressor the thermostat function with ON/OFF control should be selected. In remote

cabinets, the thermostat function may either be selected for ON/OFF control or modulating control.

Temperature monitoring

The individual S4A, S4B and S4C air sensors are always used for temperature alarm monitoring independent of

which sensor is dened as thermostat sensor. Common settings for High temperature limit, Low temperature limit

and alarm delays are used for all 3 sensors, and alarms are generated for each individual evaporator section. A

longer time delay can be set for high temperature alarm. This time delay is active for pull-down after defrosting,

appliance cleaning and start-up.
