ETS 5M is a compact and lightweight stepper
motor driven electric expansion valve with a
high level of reliability, and it provides a precise
solution for expansion and ow control in a
wide range of refrigeration and air conditioning
systems.
The portfolio is available with a wide capacity
range and is designed for use with uorinated
refrigerants.
ETS 5M can be applied for applications i.e VRF,
IT cooling, Heatpump, Mini Chiller, Bus /
Transport application in single/biow
operation.
Valve operation is by means of a uni-polar
motor, and as such it is compatible with a
number of electronic controllers from Danfoss
or third-party vendors. With an EKE1 series/EIM
336 superheat controlleres and AKS sensor, a
superheat accuracy better than ± 0.5 K can be
obtained.
Features
• Low ow noise and operation noise.
• Optimized valve ow characteristic.
• Accurate valve control, also at low opening
degrees.
• Bi-ow, with full performance in both ow
directions.
• Higher degree of freedom of installation
orientation.
• Future-proof regarding refrigerants.
• Compatible with existing valve drivers.
• Largest nominal capacity, R410A : 20.6 kW, 5.8
TR.

EIM 336 Superheat controller
EKE 1 series superheat controllers (EKE 1B is shown)
EIM 336 is designed as a controller on a pcb, i.e. must be built into a suitable
cabinet before use.
EKE superheat controllers are for DIN rail mounting, and comes in three versions
with dierent combinations of inputs and output relays and dierent
functionality.
Pressure transmitter (DST P110 shown)
EKF 1A/2A Stepper Valve Driver
EKE 2U Backup power module
DST P110 is a digital ratiometric pressure transmitter.
Depending on controller type, other ratiometric
pressure transmitters can be used as
well (e.g. AKS 32R).
EKF series is an economical stepper valve driver that
translates analog signal provided by master controller
to valve driving sequence .
EKE 2U Backup power module ensures sucient
power in case of power failures to the controller
to ensure closure of the electronic valves.
Electric expansion valve, Type ETS 5M
Portfolio overview
ETS 5M is a system product whose function is controlled through a Danfoss electronic controller, or a third party
vendor electronic controller that is compatible with the ETS 5M as to control functionality and connections.
Danfoss recommends the use of the EKE1 series / EIM 336 superheat controller together with ETS 5M. (See separate
data sheet on EIM 336 for details). with EKE1 series / EIM 336 or similar Danfoss electronic controllers, a superheat
accuracy better than 0.5 K can be obtained.
The electronic controller requires precise temperature input from a temperature sensor (refrigerant temperature)
and precise pressure inputs (evaporator pressure) from a pressure transmitter.
• 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.
NOTE:
• The product can be applied on systems with R454C, R454A, R1234ze, R290, R32, R452B, R454B, R455A, 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.
The ETS 5M Electric expansion valves open and close to regulate refrigerant ow by means of a screw, whose
rotating motion is transformed into linear motion. This occurs by the rotation of a magnetneedle valve assembly
which moves when electrical signals are applied to the surrounding coil. Within the coil structure, there are dierent
winding congurations, and the polarities are changed by the electrical signals applied.
By application of the appropriate combination of signals, in the form of pulses, the coil forces the rotor of the valve
to move in a stepwise fashion. Application of multiple pulses will make the valve mechanism move through a series
of steps in the chosen direction, in order to set the valve with the required opening degree.

Flow characteristics
Air ow characteristics are provided for ETS 5M20 with normal and reverse ows.
ETS 5M is an angleway valve designed with a valve body in steel and ODM or ODF solder connections in copper,
with inlet and outlet sizes

⁄4 in or 5⁄6 in.
The copper connections are highly congurable and can be produced with the following shapes.
Table 6: Connection conguration
NOTE:
Not all combinations of sizes and congurations are available. The table shows currently available congurations
Table 7: Mechanical conguration options
Electrical connection
Electrical connection is via a xed cable in a number of lengths from the coil to the controller. Cables up to 2.7 cm
length are available with a JST XHP-5 / JST-XHP6 connector. See ETS 5M coil Ordering for details.
Electrical and motor specications
Valve operation is by means of a uni-polar motor, designed as a separate coil that clicks onto the valve body.
Being highly congurable, ETS 5M can be delivered with a number of dierent mechanical connections according to
requirements. This includes design conguration shape types L, h and u. See ordering details below.
Parts program
ETS 5M is a parts program consisting of a valve body and a separate uni-polar motor coil (ETS 5M coil). Each
component is purchased separately.
