Superheat controller, Type EKE 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D

1 Introduction

The exible pre-programmed EKE superheat controller from Danfoss provides ultimate software control, allowing

you to tailor the performance of your system to your exact requirements. EKE is ideal for controlling a wide range of

commercial air conditioning and refrigeration applications, such control helps you to achieve the highest eciency

in the system reducing the operational cost by up to 20% with minimal eort. EKE is generally used where there is a

requirement for accurate control of superheat or temperature control in connection with air conditioning and

refrigeration. The superheat is regulated to the lowest possible value within a short period of time. It regulates the

superheat of the evaporator by charging optimally even when there are great variations of load resulting in

reduction of energy consumption and operational cost

Typical Applications:

• Chillers

• Processing plant / Cabinet cooling

• Cold store (air coolers)

• A/C plant / Air conditioning

• Heat pumps. Residential Heat Pump

• Transport cooling

• Stepper Motor Driver
