Data Sheet

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, orice and

lter

The orice and piston assemblies are
replaceable. The AKV 10P and AKV 10PS valves
cover a wide capacity range.

The valve capacity is regulated by means of pulse-width modulation. Within a period of six seconds a voltage signal
from the controller will be transmitted to and removed from the valve coil. This makes the valve open and close for
the ow of refrigerant.

The relation between this opening and closing time indicates the actual capacity. If there is an intense need for
refrigeration, the valve will remain open for almost all six seconds of the period. If the required amount of
refrigeration is modest, the valve will only stay open during a fraction of the period.

The amount of refrigeration needed is determined by the controller. When no refrigeration is required, the valve will
remain closed and thus function as a solenoid valve.

AKV 10P0 - AKV 10P8 is a direct operated valve which can operate at 0 bar/0 psi dierential pressure.

AKV 10PS4 - AKV 10PS8 is a servo piston operated valve which needs a minimum dierential pressure of 0.1 bar /

1.45 psi to open the valve and keep it open.

Appendix: Dimensioning of the liquid line

Correctly dimensioned liquid line

To obtain a correct supply of liquid to the AKV 10P/PS valve, the liquid line to the individual AKV 10P/PS valve must
be correctly
dimensioned.

The liquid ow rate should not exceed 1 m/s (3 ft/s).

Dimensioning of the liquid line must be based on the capacity of the valve at the pressure drop with which it is
operating and not on the evaporator’s capacity.

Symptom

Possible Cause

Remedy

Valve does not open

Lack of proper electrical connection/Power

Check the connection between valve and a controller

Incorrect voltage/frequency

Check coil

specication against measured operating

voltage

Dierential pressure too high/low

Check

dierential pressure of valve against technical

speciifcation

Replace with suitable valve and or coil

Impurities in the valve

Check dirt inside valve and clean out impurities

Burnt out coil

Never take the coil

o the valve if voltage is applied.

The coil can burn out

Check the wiring diagram and wiring itself

Check relay contacts, lead connections and fuses

Valve stuck open after being assembled

Check Instruction if all correct parts are used, and cor­rectly assembled

Valve does not open after

orice has been exchanged

to a larger capacity due to high dierential pressure

Replace with suitable valve and or coil

Internal leakage/ valve does not close or closes parti­ally

Continuous voltage on coil

Do not remove powered coil

o the valve

Impurities in the valve

Check dirt inside valve and clean out impurities

Pulsation in discharge line

Dierential pressure too
high in open position
Check pressure and

ow conditions

Check the supply voltage in the coil

Replace with suitable valve

NOTE:

The conditions are the same as for the rated capacities.
Evaporating temperature is -10 °C for refrigeration and -30 °C for freezing.
The super heat is 8 K for both refrigeration and freezing.
Pipes are according ANSI or DIN-EN.
If conditions deviate from above, the pipe dimensions should be checked.

Symptom

Possible Cause

Remedy

Insucient capacity

Valve capacity too small

Check refrigeration system capacity and compare
with valve capacity

Replace with larger valve if necessary

- larger capacity orice in AKV 10P

- larger capacity piston in AKV 10PS

Suction pressure too low Evaporator superheat too
high

Check superheat performance, the settings SH min
and SH max. in the super heat controller

Check valve capacity

Check coil excitation time

Also check section "High Superheat"

Valve blocked with foreign material

Valve strainer blocked, replace strainer with a new
one

Evaporator fully or partly iced up
Valve blocked with foreign material

Replace valve strainer/lter

Also check ''Insucient capacity''

De-ice evaporator

High superheat
Lack of sub-cooling

Check refrigerant

Also refer to section Insucient capacity

Controller is not setup/tuned properly

Check the controller superheat settings and sensors
connected to it Tune PID parameters in the controller

Flash gas

Lack of sub-cooling ahead of valve

Check refrigerant for ash gas ahead of valve/external
subcooler If the valve is placed much higher than
condenser outlet

Check pressure dierence

Oversized valve selected

Limit max opening degree of the valve setting in con­troller

Check refrigeration system capacity and compare
with valve capacity

Use proper valve size suitable for the system

Pulsations in liquid line

High ow velocity, max. 1 m/s

Check ow velocity, using coolselector2

Change to AKV 10PS for maximum dampening eect

Use larger diameter pipes to reduce ow velocity

Overheating coil
Armature is not moving when coil is energized

Check section valve does not open
Too high voltage supply, dirt in valve, too high MOPD)
