Sanhua has released a new EEV controller and valve package that slashes the cost to a level comparable with mechanical valves.
The benefits of electronic expansion are well documented and include increased system efficiency through optimal coil utilisation, head pressure floating as well as the ability to control difficult applications.
Sky Refrigeration managing director, Pete Schey, said that although electronic expansion has been in Australia for over 15 years, cost has been a major barrier for many businesses.
“This new release addresses the price problem,” he said.
Sanhua has released a standalone plug and play controller featuring display, push button programming, multi-refrigerant algorithms and heat pump control allowing different control strategies for heating and cooling, along with fixed or system optimising minimum stable superheat.
“Successful field trails in Australia have included the Sydney fruit and vegetable market, stand alone supermarket cases and geothermal heat pumps, all with positive feedback,” Schey said.
The controllers are supplied in kit form with pressure transmitter and temperature sensor for under $295 rrp and valves starting at $25rrp up to $95 rrp (126kw R410A).
The products are available from leading wholesalers, or contact Sky Refrigeration on 03-9735 2313.
