The flexible pre-programmed EKE superheat controller from Danfoss provides ultimate software control, allowing you to tailor the performance of your system to your exact requirements. EKE is ideal for controlling a wide range of commercial air conditioning and refrigeration applications, such control helps you to achieve the highest efficiency in the system reducing the operational cost by upto 20% with minimal effort.
EKE is generally used where there is a requirement for accurate control of superheat or temperature control in connection with air conditioning and refrigeration. The superheat is regulated to the lowest possible value within a short period of time. It regulates the superheat of the evaporator by charging optimally even when there are great variations of load resulting in reduction of energy consumption and operational cost.
Typical Applications :
• Chillers
• Processing plant / Cabinet cooling
• Cold store (air coolers)
• A/C plant / Air conditioning
• Heat pumps. Residential Heat Pump
• Transport cooling
