Danfoss extends the Optyma Plus™ condensing unit range

Danfoss continues the investments in condensing unit development to facilitate installer’s activity and secure the food chain without compromising on the environmental impact. At the start of the year 2014, two new models for LBP refrigeration are launched.

Optyma Plus™ New Generation has 2 more models for LBP applications.

The range today allows installers to offer the Optyma Plus™ in cold rooms, convenience stores, petrol stations and in mini- and supermarkets which require from 0.6 to 16.5 kW cooling capacity in medium temperature refrigeration and from 0.7 to 9.6 kW in low temperature refrigeration.

The two new models in housing 4 LPHM215LLP00E and LPHM271LLP00E are proposed with Danfoss scroll compressors LLZ selected for their high efficiency. They offer a cooling capacity of 7.4 and 9.6 kW*. ”The ambition is to stay number one in terms of easy installation, low noise level and energy performance. The models for MBP refrigeration already complies with the coming ErP and we will continue to extend the range in coming months” says Holger Naumann, Sales Director in GSA & Benelux.

New stainless steel valves from Danfoss Industrial Refrigeration

Danfoss now launches a new range of stainless steel line components - SVL SS Flexline™. The new range of stainless steel line components is based on the successful modular concept from the products in the Flexline™ family, covering ICV, ICF and SVL valves. The stainless steel line components will therefore now offer many of the same benefits known from the Flexline™ concept.

Based on a common housing (angle- or straightway) the function modules in the SVL SS platform offer five different functions: stop, stop/check, check, regulating and filter. All function modules fit in the same housing offering great flexibility and simplicity.

Customer benefits with the new SVL SS Flexline™

The SVL SS Flexline™ line components offer benefits to both end-users, service companies, contractors and wholesalers. Some of the benefits are:

Shared spare parts and modular design

• Reduces complexity and stocking costs and allows for fast and easy service.
• Selection of spare parts is easier by virtue of fewer code numbers.
• With multiple applications for a given spare part code number, spare parts inventories will be more flexible, and useful.

One common housing allows easy and timesaving switch between the functions

• If, for some reason, a component has been mounted in the wrong location in the system, it may be quickly solved by replacing the insert.

New packing glands featuring both static and dynamic sealing components

• Ensures a unique, tight and secure seal throughout the operating conditions within specification. As a result, the SVL SS delivers a smooth opening and closing operation, along with very high reliability.

New coloured seal caps and ID rings

• Allows for easy identification of valve function. Red caps for standard and long neck SVA stop valves. Yellow caps for REG-S regulating valves and Green caps and markings for SCA-X stop check valves and CHV-X check valves.

Stainless steel products from Danfoss

Stainless steel valves are needed in many industries where either corrosion is a high risk due to a harsh environment, or due to high hygiene requirements. Examples of these industries could be fishing vessels, breweries, dairies and meat processing industries. With this introduction Danfoss has improved its offering of stainless steel valves for such industries.

The other stainless steel products from Danfoss are: OFV-SS overflow valves, SNV-SS needle valves and EVRS and EVRST solenoid valves.

New TG310 compressor combining low GWP with high efficiency

Danfoss Turbocor highlighted the release of the TG310 compressor, which utilizes the ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant HFO -1234ze(E).

The TG310 compressor is now available for packaged water chiller applications and has the CE PED compliance. It is suitable for use with 400 volt, 50 Hz power supplies. Similar to the current TT series compressors, the TG310 models are oil-free, variable-speed, magnetic bearing centrifugal compressors. The products provide outstanding full and part load energy efficiency and feature a small footprint, light weight, low vibration, very low sound, intelligent controls, and soft starting characteristics.

The ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP <1), zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) refrigerant HFO-1234ze(E) was developed and commercialized by Honeywell, and is trade named Solstice®ze. The refrigerant exhibits improved energy efficiency compared to the current model using HFC-134a. When combined with the extraordinary environmental metrics for GWP and ODP, the TG310 offers customers a new benchmark in overall operational sustainability.

During the show Danfoss gave a 30min seminar to present the technical and environmental advantages of the TG310. There was a strong interest in the new technology from both customers and competitors incl. a short question and answer session with additional contributions from Honeywell. 

“The TG310 is a highly energy efficient and environmentally progressive compressor, and represents the innovation our customers expect from the pioneer and world leader of oil-free, centrifugal compressors for the HVAC industry,” said David Williamson, Danfoss Turbocor Managing Director Europe. “We look forward to the rapid adoption of the technology as customers seek to enhance the sustainability of their HVAC systems.”
