Improves COP and lowers swept volume of the MT compressors in CO2 systems with parallel compressors
Danfoss Multi Ejector SolutionTM, consists of a
CTM 6 High Pressure valve and an AK-PC 782A
controller. This solution makes CO2 refrigeration
systems economically competitive with the
HFC systems at all ambient temperatures by
improving COP in comparison to standard
parallel compressor systems.
CO2 systems with Multi Ejector SolutionTM can
be installed in any climate delivering lower
energy consumption than i.e. R404A. It
removes the CO2 equator entirely.
CTM 6 HP is designed for CO2 systems with
parallel compression to lift a part of the gas
from MT suction and mix it with the gas coming
from the gas cooler at medium pressure level.

Features
First Cost savings
• Lower cost compared to parallel compression transcritical CO2 packs 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.
◦ High pressure valve becomes redundant
◦ Enables 15 - 35 % savings on compressor swept volume, compared to booster systems.
Fast Pay Back – Energy saving
• Improved COP, enhanced operation of parallel compressors 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 payback time of less than 2 years on avarage
globally.
• The combination of CTM 6 High Pressure and the AK-PC 782A ensure an easy setup and commissioning, robust
control of the system that ensures many years of problem free operation.
Functions
The Multi Ejector function
Figure 1: 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
The Multi Ejector is designed to lift a part of the gas from MT suction and mix it with the gas coming from the gas
cooler at medium pressure level. Pre-compressed gas is taken from the receiver to parallel compressor which works
more eciently due to lower pressure lift required.
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.
