Operation
Liquid injection
Liquidinjectionintheevaporatoriscontrolledbyanelectronic
injectionvalveofthetypeAKV.Thevalvefunctionsasbothexpan-
sionvalveandsolenoidvalve.Thevalveopensandclosesusing
signals from the controller.
Thefunctioncontainsanadaptivealgorithmwhichindependently
adjuststhevalve’sopeningsothattheevaporatorconstantlysup-
plies optimum refrigeration.

tant.Thesensormustbelocatedsoastoreadtheevaporating

locatedontherstpipebendontheevaporator.
Temperature control
The temperature in the appliance is registered by one or two
temperature sensors which are located in the air flow before the
evaporator(S3)oraftertheevaporator(S4)respectively.Asetting
for the thermostat, alarm thermostat and display reading deter-

Temperature monitoring
Just as is possible for the thermostat, the alarm monitoring can be
setwithaweightingbetweenS3andS4sothatyoucandecide

temperature and time delays. A longer time delay can be set for
high temperature alarms after defrosting, appliance cleaning or
start-up.
