Maximum Δp in reverse flow * Based on water measurements ** Based on mass flow at: Tc = 41ºF; 2.7ºF; 8ºF; SC = 7.2 F Number of circuits 8 MO 80% OD Valve type Active valve type Number of circuits: Refers to amount of evaporator circuits, hence number of feeder tubes Valve type: Can be Single Orifice (HP) or Multi Orifice (AC). Main difference is that the Single Orifice HP version offers the silent defrost feature. Active valve type: Refers to the test condition. The 80% OD refers to a system with two EcoFlow valves installed, one of the valves will be in reverse mode (in example above a 8 run air-conditioning valve) and one active regulating EcoFlow valve. In the test the regulating valve has been set to an opening degree of 80% (there are only flow through the reversed valve 80% of the time). OD = Opening Degree SO = Single Orifice (HP) MO = Multi Orifice (AC) SF = Steady Flow SH = Super Heat SC = Sub Cooling SF" means "steady flow". The description refers to a system with one EcoFlow valve installed, and one regulating TXV or EXV installed (there are a static flow through the reversed valve). Regarding the 4 run valves, there is no difference in pressure drop between the Single orifice (HP) and Multi Orifice (AC) version, therefore the 4 run curves have no valve type reference. OD detailed explanation: OD simply means opening degree and describes the open / close ratio for the EcoFlow. So, 80% OD means that if a full revolution of the distributor disc is 10 sec. (also called cycle time), then 8 sec. will be spend on injecting refrigerant into the evaporator, whereas 2 sec. will be used to rotate the distributor disc and/or have the valve paused in a closed position. 6
Function The EcoFlow contains 3 primary functions 1. Superheat sensor calibration 2. Minimum stable superheat adjustment 3. Distribution adaption 1. Superheat sensor calibration When the EcoFlow system is put into operation for the first time, a calibration sequence of the superheat sensor will start up. The procedure is to measure the saturated temperature-pressure for the refrigerant used in the system at the current operating conditions and thereby calibrating the SHS (Super Heat Sensor) for the refrigerant at the current condition in the system. The required time for the calibration process is up to 15 minutes. If the calibration is not successful, the process will continue up to 45 minutes after which an alarm will be initiated. (see chapters for alarms and trouble shooting). A lower cooling capacity can be expected during this process. Recalibration during operation A re-calibration will be initiated when the pressure has a certain deviation from the initial calibration point. The new calibration data will be added and stored together with the initial calibration calculation. After a number of calibrations have been done, the entire operational pressure range of the unit will be covered with calibration factors. Fig. 1 shows the collection and storing of the measured data. The final result of the calibration is an Approximated Saturation Curve for the refrigerant used in the unit. Replacing the SHS The calibration is only valid for the specific SHS with which the calibration was done. If the SHS superheat sensor is replaced in the system, or the SHS sensor is unplugged from the EcoFlow controller, a new calibration sequence is automatically started. Replacement of the superheat sensor must be done while the EcoFlow controlleris powered on otherwise the calibration process will not be started, with a high risk for refrigerant entering the compressor. Necessary conditions during the superheat sensor calibration The refrigeration unit should run constantly during the superheat calibration period. If the unit is shut off during the calibration, the calibration routine will restart at next start up. It is not allowed to increase or decrease cooling capacity during the calibration process. Multi and variable speed compressors should be kept at constant capacity during the calibration process and other changes in conditions must also be avoided. 2. Minimum stable superheat adjustment and control After superheat sensor calibration has been performed, the EcoFlow controller will start up the process to find the minimum stable superheat level for the unit at the running condition. The superheat reference is initially set to 10.8 F/6 K. From this superheat level, the controller will continue to adapt the superheat to the lowest possible stable superheat in the heat exchanger at the running conditions. A too low SH will immediately be detected via fluctuations in the superheat signal from the superheat sensor. (See fig. 2 below) The initial superheat adjustment will take approximately 30 minutes. When the lowest possible stable superheat level has been reached, the distribution adaptation system will start up in order to adjust superheat in each single evaporator circuit. The superheat is continuously controlled and kept at minimum at all operating conditions. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Danfoss A/S (AC-SMC / bpv) 04-2011 7
Function (continued) 3. Distribution adaptation The EcoFlow valve controls the injection into each evaporator circuit individually. This makes it possible to optimize the distribution for the evaporator. An optimized distribution will result in optimal efficiency and capacity for a given system. If the optimal distribution does not vary too much among individual systems of a certain model, the average optimal distribution for these systems can be preloaded in the valve. During normal operation at the end-customer, the distribution can be optimized either automatically by the valve itself or manually by the system master controller, if this is able to determine the optimal distribution. Automatic Distribution Adaptation The EcoFlow distribution controller will automatically adapt the injection in each circuit to get an optimal distribution in the heat exchanger. Method The adaptive distribution method takes advantage of the non-linear behaviour of the superheat of the refrigerant along the length of an evaporator circuit. The temperature at the beginning of the dry zone increases rapidly, and then increases more slowly, converging towards the air inlet temperature (counter flow). The EcoFlow controller tests how full a certain circuit is by adding slightly more refrigerant to this circuit, while reducing the amount to others, keeping the total mass flow constant. If the superheat measured by the superheat sensor drops, the circuit under test is sensitive to small changes in refrigerant flow and must have a quite small dry zone. Less refrigerant will be injected into the circuit from then on. If, on the contrary, the superheat is virtually unchanged, the dry zone must be rather large. In this case more refrigerant will be injected into the circuit from then on. The procedure is done in turn for all circuits. Figure 3. shows that the superheat temperature is increasing or decreasing rapidly when the liquid zone is close to the circuit outlet and the mass flow is adjusted. The distribution control is using this change in superheat to adjust the amount of refrigerant injected in each circuit. The distribution adaptation is an iterative procedure. The initial distribution adaptation of several iterations will take approximately 3-4 hours depending on the number of circuits in the heat exchanger design and the stability of the system. The cooling capacity during this process is not affected. If a significant change in conditions happens during an iteration, e.g. compressor or fan speed change, the iteration will be cut short. If the unit is shut off during the distribution adaptation, the process will continue at next start up. During normal operating conditions the distribution adaption system will optimise the distribution to remove changes in the mal distribution, by occasionally running a distribution adaptation iteration. Manual Distribution The master controller of the system has full control of the distribution, if it chooses so. In this case, the automatic distribution function will not be run, and any distribution found by it will be inactive. The manual distribution can be enabled and changed at any time via modbus communication with the EcoFlow. Distribution adaption hypothesis test Fig. 3 Blue Red 8
Function (continued) Silent Defrost in Heat Pump Applications In conventional heat pump systems, defrost is done by system reversal or electrical heaters, both of which impose a large penalty on capacity and efficiency. Taking advantage of EcoFlow controlling the refrigerant injection into each evaporator circuit independently, it is possible to avoid conventional defrost at ambient temperatures above freezing. Instead, a control scheme called Silent Defrost is employed. During Silent Defrost, one or two circuits at a time get no refrigerant injected. The ambient air with a temperature above freezing will remove the frost that has built up on the circuits that get no injection. By keeping the cycle time between silent defrost of each circuit much shorter than the traditional defrost cycle, only a small amount of frost will have accumulated during one cycle. This small amount can quickly be removed. In this way, the system can run without traditional defrost. 1 2 3 4 Fig. 4 =Frost Product type File name Date Figure 4 shows a snap shot of the defrost cycle with frost is shown as ice crystals. In this example with four circuits, the circuits are Silent defrost defrosted one at a time in the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 34F40 2. Currently circuit 3 is defrosting. The refrigerant at the beginning of circuit 3 will soon have boiled I.S.2010.06.30 away, after which the last frost on the circuit will be removed. Circuit 2 which was defrosted just before circuit 3 has only accumulated a little frost, circuit 1 has accumulated some more and circuit 4 has accumulated most in this snap shot. Circuit 4 will be defrosted next. Capacity and energy efficiency advantage In Figure 5, the capacity of a system with conventional defrost is compared to the same system equipped with an EcoFlow valve running silent defrost. The conventional system gradually loses capacity as the coil accumulates frost. At some point, defrost by system reversal is necessary. The EcoFlow system, on the other hand, keeps a constant capacity as long as the ambient temperature is above freezing. If the system using conventional defrost has a very good distribution, it can have a slightly larger peak capacity when the circuits are still frost free. This is because the conventional system simultaneously injects refrigerant in all circuits when the system is not defrosting, while one or two circuits are out of play at any time in the EcoFlow system in silent defrost mode. 9
Function (continued) However, as shown in figure 5, the blue area which is the integrated capacity advantage of the EcoFlow system, is many times larger than the red area where the conventional system has a slightly higher capacity. The energy efficiency of both systems will have a variation (development) over time similar to the variation (development) in capacity. Fig. 5 Initiating a Silent Defrost and how it is done The silent defrost system is initiated and controlled and operated by the unit master controller via Modbus communication (see Modbus parameter list PNU, page 14). The master controller must switch the EcoFlow valve to manual distribution, when silent defrost is initiated. Subsequently the manual distribution factor of the circuit(s) to be silently defrosted must be set to 0. After completing silent defrost of the circuit, the distribution factor of the circuit(s) must be set back to its original value. The optimal defrost time for each circuit as well as the optimal defrost sequence ofthe circuits are found during the manufacturer s testing of the unit. When the defrost process of all the circuits has been done the same circuit sequence will be followed again for the next defrost. (Normally yes, but it is entirely up to the master controller). The defrost process can either stop for a selected time or can operate continuously depending upon application and experience. Distribution Adaption during Silent Defrost The distribution adaption system will not run during a Silent Defrost. However, it is recommended for the master controller to use the automatically found optimal distribution factors for the circuits in operation (i.e. those not under silent defrost). 10

Application (continued) Mechanical installation Indoor units Danfoss recommends installing the EcoFlow valve on the side of a indoor evaporator coil as shown on fig. 6. This allows smooth bending and length adjustment of the feeder tubes and also a good fastening via a bracket bolted to the mounting holes on the EcoFlow valve body. Danfoss also recommends to mount a cover for additional protection of the electronic board as protection against water drops. Fig. 6 Outdoor units In outdoor units Danfoss recommends to install the EcoFlow in, or in connection with the compartment for the sensitive electronic components as seen in fig. 7. This secures that no snow or rain will penetrate into the electronic board in the EcoFlow valve. Having the EcoFlow board in the electronic compartment allows easy access for the cables and virtual access to the alarm LED on the EcoFlow board. Fig. 7 In outdoor units Danfoss recommends to install the EcoFlow electronic board in compartment for the sensitive electronic components as seen in fig. 8. This secures that no snow or rain will penetrate into the electronic board in the EcoFlow valve.

Our experience indicates that problems can occur with communication due to the following weaknesses: Long wire ends Do not strip more of the cable insulation than strictly necessary. Max. 3-4 cm. Continue the twisting of the cables right up to the terminals. Stubs Avoid stubs on the cable. Feed the cable right to the end and then back again. Cable type Cables twisted in pairs must be used, and they may be provided with a screen. Some types of communication require a cable with a screen to be used. The conductor s cross section must be at least 0.60 mm. Examples of cable types: Belden 7701NH, single-thread 1 2 0.65 mm, without screen Belden 7702NH, single-thread 2 2 0.65 mm, without screen Belden 7703NH, single-thread 1 2 0.65 mm, with screen Belden 7704NH, single-thread 2 2 0.65 mm, with screen LAPP UNITRONIC Li2YCY (TP), multi-thread 2 2 0.65 mm, with screen Dätwyler Uninet 3002 4P, single-thread 4 2 0.6 mm, with screen Conductors The wires in the cable that is connected to the controller must be correct. Although there are four wires in the cable inside the screen, you cannot simply choose colours freely. The wires are twisted in pairs, i.e. 2 and 2, and you must use a pair that is twisted around each other. If there are several vacant wires in the cable, they must be used for nothing else than data communication. Noise sources Keep the cable away from electrical noise sources and power cables (relays, contactors and especially electronic ballast for strip lights are strong noise sources). A distance of at least 10-15 cm will be sufficient. Cable length extremities Each section of data communication must be terminated correctly. See the relevant communication form on the following pages. Screen See the respective communication forms. Danfoss A/S (AC-SMC / bpv) 04-2011 16
Requirement to Installation (continued) Cable tray MOD bus wiring When the cable is ducted with other cables, there is a strong risk that electrical noise will be transferred. Keep away from live cables. The cable must be with screen. The cable is connected from controller to controller, and no branches are allowed on the cable. If the cable length exceeds 1200 m a repeater must be inserted. Number of controllers The total number of controllers on an MOD bus connection can be 100. Conductors When the cable is ducted in a cable tray, the cable must be fed out and right up to the controller. The fast solution where only wires are fed out will cause problems. The wires are looped from device to device. A is connected to A B is connected to B. The screen must be connected to the system device, all controllers and any repeaters. A screen must always be looped from device to device. The screen must not be connected to anything else. (The screen is earthed inside the system device and must not be earthed in any other way.) Min. 10-15 cm Keep a distance to relays, their cables and other things emitting electric noises. Danfoss A/S (AC-SMC / bpv) 04-2011 17

Check if the SHS is connected properly to the EES controller 2. Disconnect the SHS sensor cable from controller and measure the resistance between the pins in the SHS plug. (See fig. 12 table 2) 3. If a shortage or break is measured in the SHS, the sensor must be replaced. Warning! Disconnection of the SHS sensor when the EES is powered up will initiate a SHS calibration routine in the EES controller. See page x chapter yyyy. SHS sensor service and disconnection should be done while the EES and the compressor are disconnected from the power supply. 1. Reboot the system, and check if motor is running (Valve buzz/ vibrate slightly) a. If error reoccurs - proceed to 2 b. If error does not reoccur - possibly periodic failure 2. Check wire and plug connections between PCB and valve 3. Check the motor coil resistance: unplug cable at PCB side, and check resistance. See fig. 13 and table 3 a. If inside tolerances, go to 4 b. If outside tolerances, dismount motor wire at valve side and check motor coil resistance on glass seal pins. See fig. 11 and table 1. Warning: Dismantling the plug will damage the cable for good, fig. 15. i. If outside tolerances, motor is defect. Valve should be replaced. ii. If inside tolerances, replace the motor cable. 4. Measure hall sensor signal from PCB with oscilloscope. See fig. 14. Nominal voltage 2.5 ± 0.1 V d.c..

Trouble shooting (continued) Dismantling of motor plug connection: The electrical plug connection between valve and electronic cable is a snap-lock connection. Using the wrong dismantle method will destroy the plug, and could damage the valve. This is how it should be done: Rotate the cable gently round and round at least 10 times, as shown on the pictures, while pulling with maximum 1 kg force. Be sure to keep the pull constant while changing pull direction 360 around and around Only tilt about 10-20 Only pull with a maximum force of 1kg. Do not use tools to dismantle. This will most likely destroy the plug. The cable will come gently of when both snap-locks are disengaged. By pulling to hard, or tilting to much, the plug will be damaged, and has to be replaced. Also female plug on the valve can be damaged, resulting in a damaged valve. Fig. 15 21
