Optyma™ Plus P00 – new NTZ A2L models for extended low‑temperature applications
As part of our product range offering improvement, we are pleased to inform you that below aforementioned condensing units are all validated as standard with A2L refrigerants (factory setting).New model OP-LPVM096NTP00E has been launched to re-enforce the cooling capacity range product availability.


Details
Cooling capacity have been updated inside catalogue and will be release by week 51 inside CoolSelector. Installers shall ensure that the application envelopes are within the limits mentioned in instruction guideline and Coolselector. All instructions must be followed as provided in the Instruction Manual and user guide. For enhanced safety, the condensing units are equipped with built-in protections including high pressure, low pressure, and high discharge temperature safeguards refer Instructions and User guide for more detailed information.
More information
For instructions and usage with approved refrigerants, customer shall refer to the literatures available in Danfoss approved channels like Coolselector, Product store and here bellow:
New service cable for EKE 100/110 products
We are pleased to inform you about an important update regarding the service cable of EKE 100 and EKE 110 controllers. To ensure compatibility with the latest KoolKey version PV04, we are introducing a new service cable.
Product details
Current cable 080G5058 New cable 080G5067

The existing service cable (080G5058) will be phased out and replaced by the new service cable (080G5067). This change is necessary to maintain seamless communication between EKE 100/110 and KoolProg using KoolKey PV04.
Compability

Note: All new orders for KoolKey will be delivered with PV04 versions.
Affected controllers
- 080G5050 - Superheat controller and valve driver EKE 100 1V IP00
- 080G5051 - Superheat controller and valve driver EKE 100 1V IP20
- 080G5052 - Superheat controller and valve driver EKE 100 1V IP20 with display
- 080G5055 - Superheat controller and valve driver EKE 100 2V IP00
- 080G5056 - Superheat controller and valve driver EKE 100 2V IP20
- 080G5057 - Superheat controller and valve driver EKE 100 2V IP20 with display
- 080G5066 - Superheat controller and valve driver EKE 100 2V IP20
- 080G5059 - Injection controller EKE 110 1V IP20
Availability & ordering
For all future orders, please ensure that you order the new service cable (080G5067) instead of the previous cable (080G5058). This will guarantee compatibility and functionality when used with EKE 100/110 controllers, KoolKey, and the KoolProg PC tool.
The new service cable will be available for sale starting from week 5 of 2026.
Extension of the minimum frequency range to 20 Hz for HGX24 CO₂ T

We are pleased to announce that the HGX24 CO₂ T compressor series will be equipped with an extended frequency range in the future. The minimum operating frequency will be reduced to 20 Hz, matching the existing capabilities of the HGX34 CO₂ T, HGX46 CO₂ T, and HGX56 CO₂ T + LT transcritical CO₂ series.
Benefits for your applications
- Optimized partial load capacity for refrigeration and heat pump applications with high partial load requirements.
- Increased system efficiency through better adaptation to real operatingconditions.
- Product line harmonization for simplified system integration and control.

Please note that reliable oil return must be ensured when operating at low frequencies. The minimum frequency must be selected depending on the application and require careful coordination with the system components. We recommend to make adjustments in close consultation with your system design and control system.
Affected BOCK compressor ranges
- HGX24 CO₂ T (transcritical) / UL-HGX24 CO₂ T (transcritical)
- HGX24 P CO₂ T (with LSPM motors) / UL-HGX24 P CO₂ T (with LSPM motors)
- HGX24e CO₂ LT (subcritical) / UL-HGX24e CO₂ LT (subcritical)
Introduction
A new design key for compressors is being introduced to indicate the change. Compressors are assigned design key 085. The design key can be found on the compressor's nameplate (the least 3 characters of the machine number (No.)).
The minimum frequency of 20 Hz will be available for new compressor from the date of order receipt in calendar week 08/2026 (from February 16, 2026).
