Electric expansion valve
Type AKV 10P and AKV 10PS
For liquid injection into evaporators
AKV 10P and AKV10PS are electric operated
expansion valves designed for refrigeration
plants.
The AKV 10P and AKV 10PS valves are normally
controlled by a controller from Danfoss range
of ADAP- KOOL® controllers, that ensures a
precise liquid injection into evaporators.
The AKV 10P and AKV 10PS valves are supplied
as a part program, as follows:
• Separate valve
• Separate coil with terminal box, DIN plug or
cable
• Spare parts in the form upper part, orice and
lter
The orice and piston assemblies are
replaceable. The AKV 10P and AKV 10PS valves
cover a wide capacity range.

Electric expansion valve, type AKV 10P and AKV 10PS
Features
Precise control of liquid injection
• Optimum utilization of the evaporator
• Increased energy eciency and COP
• Improved overall system performance
• Enables energy saving minimum stable superheat and adaptive defrost algorithms due to turbulent ow
• Provides excellent distribution and oil return
• Repetitive operation of the valve at all conditions
Superior valve technology
• Soft pulse operation makes possible to have a low noise valve that guarantees precise ow control and increased
energy eciency of the system
Fully Serviceable valve
• Fast troubleshooting during system diagnostics
• Replaceable lter and orice assembly
• Special Service coil available for installation and servicing
Fast opening/closing within sec.
• Quick reaction to the operating condition.
• Minimizes the risk of liquid refrigerant owing into the compressor at shut down and low pressure cut out at start
up
• Normally closed Solenoid tight shut-o valve
• Prevents migration of the refrigerant during stand-still
• Reduced complexity by reducing number of components in the system
Supports variety of refrigerants with wider regulation range
• This product is validated in accordance to ATEX, EN 378, ISO 5149, ASHRAE 15, IEC 60335-2-x or equivalent
standards.
• Ignition risk is evaluated in accordance to ISO 5149 and IEC 60335.
• See safety note below.
WARNING:
Safety notes:
• The product can be applied on systems with R454C, R454A, R1234ze, R1270, R290, R32, R444B, R452B, R454B,
R600, R600a, R455A, R516A, R1234yf as the working uid.
• For countries where safety standards are not an indispensable part of the safety system Danfoss recommend the
installer to get a third party approval of the system containing ammable refrigerant.
• Note, please follow specic selection criteria stated in the datasheet for these particular refrigerants.
• The valve must only be used in closed circuit refrigeration system, where no oxygen is present acc. EN 378, ISO
5149 ASHRAE 15 or IEC 60335-2-x or equivalent standards.
WARNING:
It is recommended to selected Servo operated AKV 10PS valves for those application where higher MOPD (with low
coil power) and high dampening is required.
Technical data - Standard coils for AKV 10P / AKV 10PS
The products (only refer to IP65/67 coils) are validated in accordance to ISO 5149, IEC 60335 (ref. IEC/EN
60079-15). Ignition risk is evaluated in accordance to ISO 5149 and IEC 60335 (ref. IEC/EN 60079-15). See safety
note below.
2.
Please make sure that there is no spark, arc during the application, especially the connection of coils.
3.
Follow the instruction to mount the coil correctly and apply the O-ring for sealing, to prevent the moisture
penetrate inside the coils.
4.
Always install a fuse ahead of the coil to avoid short circuit (fuse size should be around 2 times of rated current,
and time lag: medium);
5.
The coil used in an area of not more than pollution degree 2.
