Improves COP and lowers swept volume of the MT compressors in all CO2 systems
Liquid Ejector is a part of the CO2 Adaptive
Liquid Management (CALM), Danfoss' solution
to handle liquid in all types of transcritical CO
systems in all climates. Due to higher suction
pressure, Liquid Ejector, together with Adaptive
Liquid Control (ALC), enables lower energy
consumption and better utilization of
evaporators, resulting in operational savings.
Improved system performance results in fewer
or smaller compressors and a minimal suction
accumulator.
2
Liquid Ejector is designed for CO2 transcritical
systems to pump the CO2 liquid from the low
point in the suction accumulator back to the
receiver resulting even in 8 bar pressure lift
after mixing with gas coming from the gas
cooler.
The Liquid Ejector, AK-PC pack controllers, AKCC case controllers, and AK-SM system
manager comprise the Danfoss CALM.

Features
First Cost savings
• Lower cost compared to standard booster system due to lower swept volume of compressors (i.e. smaller
compressors or less number of compressors).
• Reliable and robust design
• Fully integrated solution not requiring any additional components like check valves or motorized ball valves
• Fully serviceable - wide range of spare parts and accessories
• Easily accessible strainer / lter for fast maintenance
• Brings rst cost savings
• Enables 5 - 10 % savings on compressor swept volume, compared to standard booster systems
Fast Pay Back – Energy saving
• Improved COP and lower swept volume to the MT compressors , resulting in lower energy consumption.
• Savings for end users
• Fast payback – lower energy consumption
• Less compressors and higher eciency on the systems, leads to shorter payback time of less than 2 years on
avarage globally
• The combination of CTM 1 and CTM 2 Liquid valve and the Danfoss CALM controllers ensure an easy setup and
commissioning, robust control of the system that ensures many years of problem free operation
Functions
The Multi Ejector function
An ejector is a device that uses expansion energy to compress another uid. In this case with the transcritical system
there is up to 20% of the compressor work that can theoretically be recovered in the expansion.
In this case with the Multi Ejector system the work is coming from the CO2 leaving the gas cooler. The high pressure
CO2 (PH) is entering the nozzle where the expansion is taking place. At the exit of the nozzle the speed is very high
and as a consequence of that the pressure is low.
This low pressure is used to drag liquid from the MT suction accumulator (PL). From there the two ows are mixed in
the mixing chamber where the pressure will be lower than at the drive inlet due to the mixing of vapour from a
higher pressure.
After the mixing the ow enters the diuser where the ow is slowed down. The shape of the diuser enables the
conversion from kinetic energy (velocity) to potential energy (pressure). After the diuser the ow is returned to the
receiver.

Applications
Application
The Multi Ejector is designed to lift a part of the liquid from MT suction and mix it with the gas coming from the gas
cooler at medium pressure level.
Ejectors with the highest capacities (longest ejectors) must be placed closest to the suction connector C.
Any blank ejector should be placed after the ejectors.

Danfoss CALM controllers
Pack controller AK-PC 782A
Danfoss oers a wide range of market leading Pack Controllers.
Being the ag ship and best in class controller for transcritical CO2 packs controls, the AK-PC 782A oers the highest
possible eciency with the Multi Ejector, CTM.
The complete application control features:
• Complete booster pack control of up to 3 suction groups (max. 12 compressors) and high pressure system
• Signicant savings with heat recovery for tap water and heat reclaim
•
Extensive control of oil ow and pressurization
• Best in class safety monitoring and fail-safe functions
• Minimal energy consumption while ensuring optimal food quality
• Auto-congured, easy-to-use graphical representation with Danfoss System Manager
• Independent, customised control and monitoring of auxiliary function
Danfoss AK-CC 550A and AK-CC 750A case controllers manage refrigerated display cases, cold rooms, or
refrigeration cabinets. Controlling Electronic Expansion Valves (EEV), they optimize evaporator utilization and
energy consumption using the Minimum Stable Superheat (MSS) or new Adaptive Liquid Control (ALC) algorithm,
giving you the best possible refrigeration capacity from the energy consumed and ensuring food safety.
AK-SM 8xx system manager
The Danfoss AK-System Manager (AK-SM) is a modern solution for the food retail markets. The AK-SM uses the latest
technology to provide the maximum benet to the end user, both in terms of energy saving optimization, control
options and user friendly access.
AK-SM ensures a shift mode of operation in AK-CC case controllers: Minimum Stable Superheat (MSS) or Adaptive
Liquid Control (ALC) based on feedback from pack controller AK-PC.
