Danfoss Industrial Refrigeration (Ammonia) Controls & Valves


Solutions for ammonia refrigeration

Liquid Level Control


Situations:
  • Electronic probes require calibration with the level column (standpipe) and are susceptible to damage or bending and signal drift.
  • Sealed motorized control valves do not close upon power failure and they do not give a visual indication of valve position.

Solutions:
  • Danfoss AKS 4100/4100U liquid level sensor introduces the proven technology TDR (Time Domain Refl ectometry) ensuring reliability and high accuracy is a very reliable choice. All sensors in the new AKS 4100/ 4100U family are easy to install and fully fl exible. No on-site calibration is needed, and the probe length can easily be adjusted on site.
  • The Danfoss ICM motor valve equipped with ICAD actuator will close the valve upon power failure. The ICAD actuator also confi rms valve position and closure. Furthermore the special V-port design in the ICM regulating cone provides stable and smooth control characteristics compared to valves having a traditional fl at port design. It enables the temperature set-point to be adjusted to a higher level, which provides a higher suction pressure, and a much better COP, ultimately leading to signifi cant enegy savings.



Evaporator Control


Situations:
  • A valve combination for a fl ooded evaporator operating on/off from a thermostat and with hot gas defrost is required. Pipe dimension is 25 mm, and there is a demand for butt weld DIN connections. It is a request to have 4 sideports for external connectors.

Solutions:
  • For this application ICF 20-6-3, code number 027L3020 is recommended.
Situations:
  • On the same evaporator a hot gas valve to inject the gas into is needed. Pipe dimension is 32 mm, and there is a demand for butt weld DIN connections. It is a request to have 2 sideports for external connectors.
Solutions:
  • For this application ICF 25-4-9, is recommended.

The Safer Drain Valve


Situations:
  • Liquid refrigerant can be trapped between the stop valve and drain valve causing an unsafe, high-pressure situation, or potentially damaging either valve.

Solutions:
  • The internal relief device in the Danfoss QDV allows refrigerant to slowly bleed if internal valve pressure exceeds 260 psig. Further, the valve is easily actuated by hand (without tools), and has an internal spring mechanism to instantly close the valve if the actuator is let go. All QDV valves are in angle orientation with FPT outlet, suitable for safe draining.



V-Port for Chatter-Free Check Valve Operation


Situations:
  • Check valve chattering at low load (fl ow) conditions.

Solutions:
  • Danfoss CHV (check valves) and SCA (stop/check valves) provide an optimum solution to chattering with a V-port design. Active below 25% of opening to maintain adequate velocity at low capacities, the V-port eliminates chatter and noise. Available in angle and globe versions, the CHV and SCA are ideal for discharge lines in reciprocating and screw compressors including economizer



Check Valve Without Orientation Limitations


Situations:
  • Pulsating lines, such as reciprocating compressor discharge lines, require a piston check valve that typically has orientation limitations.

Solutions:
  • The compact, piston in-line NRVA check valve off ers the fl exibility for multiple orientations, maximizing ease of installation. Available in most common fl ange sizes up to 2½’’.
