Smart refrigeration case control
Your refrigeration system is the natural place to look for energy efficiency gains. To unlock that potential, you need a controller, expansion valve, and high accuracy sensors that are smart enough to make the technology work together—and a system manager that can help you see and control the bigger picture.
The power of adaptive refrigeration
To optimize refrigeration efficiency, it’s important to match capacity to demand. An adaptive case controller, like the Danfoss ADAP-KOOL® series, can balance refrigeration performance to the load. The Adaptive Superheat Control algorithm maintains the minimal stable superheat, so there’s always just enough cooling. The advanced controllers connect to the internet and the compressor pack controller via a system manager. They’re also easy to use, simplifying the complexity of a modern refrigeration system, so you can focus on optimizing efficiency.
