Industrial Refrigeration Evaporator Control Panels Type PXE 02 and PXE 04
Distributed control logic panels designed specifically for industrial refrigeration evaporator control applications
The Danfoss evaporator control panel PXE 02 and PXE 04 are distributed control logic panels designed specifically for industrial refrigeration evaporator control applications. The PXE 02 can control up to 2 separate evaporators and their corresponding valve stations while the PXE 04 can control up to 4 evaporators and their corresponding valve stations. There is 200+ control application options for each evaporator that cover most industrial refrigeration evaporator control requirements. Each evaporator application is configured separately and may be either duplicated or take completely different configurations to the other connected evaporators.
Application-specific, energy-efficient control algorithms in each panel, achieve optimal space-cooling and defrost sequences for safe, efficient, trouble-free evaporator operation. Furthermore, all IIAR1 safety recommendations for hot gas defrost are complied with. Please note that evaporator power components such as motor starter protection, drives and contactors are not components contained within the PXE 02 or PXE 04.
Each evaporator application is setup and configured on your laptop via a free downloadable user-friendly graphical interface or via the panel’s display navigation hardware.

Applications
Application principles: General
The Danfoss evaporator control panels have many different application choices available that are designed for Industrial Refrigeration applications. It is possible to assign different control applications to each of the evaporators, if required. Some of the control possibilities offered are as follows:
•Flooded ammonia/CO2 /HCFC/HFC.
•Direct expansion (DX) ammonia/CO2/HCFC/HFC.
•Superheat Control by:
◦Fixed Superheat reference
◦Load defined reference
◦Minimum Stable Superheat
•Modulating or simple ON/OFF room temperature control
•Media temperature control of suction line valve with motorized valve
•Media temperature control of suction line valve with servo valve
•Pressure control of suction line valve with motorized valve
•Pressure control of suction line valve with servo valve
•Modulating room temperature control by modulating the valve in the liquid line of ‡ooded systems
•Supports Multiple Defrost methods:
◦by pressure
◦by liquid drain
◦by water or brine
◦individual defrost schedules by single weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays
•Defrost starts:
◦via Modbus or DI start by time interval (time since last defrost start)
◦according to accumulated cooling time
◦via defrost schedules and Real Time Clock
◦forced manual defrost via the HMI or Modbus
•Defrost stops:
◦on time duration
◦on temperature
•Separate Drip tray Hot Gas control separate from main Hot Gas valve
•Emergency cooling - failsafe operation
•Safe startup procedure after power failure
•Additional product temperature alarm option
