EVDCool is a controller for single pole stepper motor which manages one electronic expansion valve. it controls refrigerant superheat and optimizes the efficiency of the refrigerant circuit, guaranteeing maximum flexibility, being compatible with various types of refrigerants and valves (Danfoss, Sporlan, Emerson, CAREL, SANHUA). It features low superheat (LowSH), high evaporation pressure (MOP), and low evaporation pressure (LOP) protection, and can manage, as an alternative to superheat control, special functions such as the hot gas bypass, evaporator pressure regulation (EPR) and control of the valve downstream of the gas cooler in transcritical CO2 circuits.
As regards network connectivity, the controller can be connected to either of the following:
• a UX* controller via RS485/Modbus;
• a supervisor or IOT platform via RS485/Modbus.
In this case, On/Off control is performed via digital input 1, if suitably configured. As well as regulation start/stop, digital inputs 1 can be configured for the following:
- valve regulation optimization after defrosts;
- valve forced open (at 100%);
- regulation backup;
- regulation security.
Another possibility involves operation as a simple positioner with 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 Vdc analogue input signal.
EVDCool has one build-in LED display and one keypad with four keys, so that the user can change/configure parameters easily. normally, the user just needs 4 parameters to start basic regulation:
refrigerant
Valve
Pressure sensor
main regulation
