Data Sheet
Electric expansion valve
Type ETS 8M
ETS 8M is a 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 system. The valve comes with two €ow curve options, a linear and a S-shaped characteristic.
ETS 8M can be applied for applications i.e.
Modular Chiller and Low Ambient Temp Heat
Pump in single/bi-€ow operations.
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.
Features:
• High MOPD to comply with compressor operating envelope
• Low internal leakage
• Long lifetime and durability
• Optimized valve €ow characteristic
• Stable €ow control at low opening degree
• Dedicated €ow control curve for heat pump
• Compatible with existing valve drivers
• Bi-€ow, with good performance in both €ow directions
• Flexible installation: vertical orientation ±90°C
• Coil enclosure up to IP67
• In accordance with ◦ JB/T 10212
◦ RoHS (China and EU) ◦ REACH
◦ PED

Electric expansion valve, type ETS 8M
Portfolio overview
ETS 8M 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 8M as to control functionality and connections.
The electronic controller requires precise temperature input from a temperature sensor (refrigerant temperature) and precise pressure inputs (evaporator pressure) from a pressure transmitter.

Product specification
Design
The ETS 8M 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 magnet needle valve assembly which moves when electrical signals are applied to the surrounding coil. Within the coil structure, there are diˆerent winding con†gurations, 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.
