Highlighted products

Evaporator and room control

Danfoss offers a range of evaporator controls with thermostatic expansion valves or with electric expansion valves.
Pack controllers

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.
System managers

The system manager is the key component of the intelligent Danfoss ADAP-KOOL® refrigeration system for food retail.
CTR electric expansion valves, transcritical CO₂

CTR 3-way heat reclaim valve is designed to allow full proportional control of the surplus heat from compressor pack into the heat exchanger of transcritical heat reclaim solutions, securing availability of heat and hot water. The CTR valve prevents pressure peaks eliminating costly system down-time and the risk of insufficient heat supply for store heating and hot water, regardless of installation size.
CCMT electric regulating valves, transcritical CO₂

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.

Case studies

“A real win-win situation!” Danish organic food company reduces climate footprint with CO₂ cooling solution

A stronger environmental profile and energy savings of approx. 30% from a cooling solution that can be expanded as needed. These are the results so far for Danish organic food company Aarstiderne. Since Q1 2018, the company’s facilities at Barritskov, Denmark, have relied on a CO₂ cooling system with Danfoss components delivered by refrigeration installer company JF Køleteknik A/S.
The Danfoss Multi Ejector range for CO2 refrigeration: design, applications and benefits

Danfoss offers a complete portfolio of gas and liquid ejectors that provide significant benefits in CO₂ refrigeration applications. Here we take a closer look at these offerings: the Multi Ejector Low Pressure (LP), the Multi Ejector High Pressure (HP), and the Liquid Ejector (LE). All three ejector products are only available as a complete Multi Ejector Solution™ where the ejector is bundled with the AK-PC 782A pack controller to provide the robust system controls necessary for efficient and reliable operation.
Selecting the right evaporator injection algorithm makes a world of difference

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).
