Highlighted products
Danfoss offers a range of evaporator controls with thermostatic expansion valves or with electric expansion valves.
Danfoss offers a range of compressor and condenser capacity controls for use in food retail, in compact systems as well as in large power packs.
The system manager is the key component of the intelligent Danfoss ADAP-KOOL® refrigeration system for food retail.
The CCMT is an electric operated valve designed specifically for operation in CO2 systems. The valve is capable of functioning either as an expansion valve, as a pressure regulator for the gas cooler or as a gas bypass valve with back-pressure regulation in trans-critical or subcritical applications.
AKV are electrically operated expansion valves designed for refrigerating plants. The AKV valves are normally controlled by a controller from Danfoss’ range of ADAP-KOOL® controllers.
Case studies
Canneberges Drummond Inc. recently completed a major modernization of their pumping system, transitioning from diesel to an eco-friendly, automated solution—thanks to the collaboration of Kopers and 6MGB. By integrating Danfoss VLT® AQUA Drive FC 202, MCT 31 Harmonic Calculation Software, and the VLT® Advanced Harmonic Filter, the cranberry producer achieved: reduced CO2 emissions, improved system reliability, lower operational costs.
With the approaching HFC phasedown, the demand for environmentally friendly cooling systems is driving chiller manufacturers to innovate. Washington-based Pro Refrigeration, Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier of chillers for the industrial and beverage processing market, including the dairy, beer and wine industries, recognized an opportunity with CO₂ chillers.
Before digging into the secret of Danfoss adaptive defrost, let’s first take a look at the most common methods of defrosting refrigerated display cases, and why they’re necessary.
Looking to evolve its refrigeration strategy to anticipate evolving refrigerant regulations and reduce cost, supermarket chain Weis Markets partnered with Danfoss to slash the global warming potential of its refrigeration systems by deploying its first transcritical CO2 refrigeration system.
Like any supermarket chain, Giant Eagle operates in a very competitive marketplace where energy management can be a crucial ingredient to success and profitability. That’s why the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based chain carefully manages its stores’ critical energy consumers: lighting, refrigeration, and HVAC equipment. When Giant Eagle learned its utility—PJM Interconnection—offered a demand response program that provided incentives to reduce electric consumption, they talked to Danfoss to see how they could take advantage of the opportunity.
Danfoss has pioneered two control algorithms that help you achieve this balance. The Minimum Stable Superheat (MSS) algorithm has been an important part of the Danfoss ADAP-KOOL® offering for years and is still the ideal choice for adaptive evaporator control for dry expansion. Now Danfoss introduces the next generation: Adaptive Liquid Control (ALC).

Building on a successful collaboration established in 2019, Danfoss and Microsoft are expanding their partnership to accelerate the development and deployment of AI and cloud-based solutions that enable the industry to optimize energy consumption, reduce food waste, and lower emissions across food retail.
Supermarkets are a pivotal part of communities worldwide – but they also account for a substantial amount of energy consumption. Danfoss reimagined energy-efficient food retail in its first-ever integrated Danfoss Smart Store and Application Development Center, which opened in 2023 in Nordborg, Denmark. The store features cutting-edge technology and off-the-shelf solutions for reducing energy consumption, food loss, and carbon footprint, exemplifying Danfoss’ journey towards a net-zero supermarket.
