Products ‘OPTYMA-L’ TEMPERATURE CONTROL Danfoss has released inverter variable speed technology versions of its Optyma Plus packaged condensing units. The Optyma Plus Inverter with variable speed scroll compressor and drive deliver the best Seasonal Energy Performance Ratio (SEPR) on the market for refrigeration applications in medium temperatures for cooling capacities ranging from 2 to 9kW. Offering a wide stepless capacity modulation ranging from 30 to 100Hz, Optyma Plus Inverter enables tight temperature control to within ±0.3°C. Danfoss inverter scroll technology allows from 20 to 30% higher energy efficiency for medium temperature refrigeration applications compared to fixed-speed or mechanically modulated condensing units. The permanent magnet motor, inverter-driven modulation, intermediate compressor discharge valves, together with the micro-channel condenser contribute to a SEPR of 3.84, a performance level certified by ASERCOM for R407F. Optyma Plus UP THE ANTE Carel’s range of pCO programmable controllers for the management of HVAC/R applications and systems has been extended with the addition of High-Speed controllers providing a faster response to the efficiency of HVAC/R systems which translates into faster unit set-up. The calculation speed of the pCO5+ HS means it can respond more quickly and precisely to variations in the main unit input values (temperature, pressure, humidity, etc.). pCO5+ HS guarantees compatibility with the entire range of pCO3 and pCO5 controllers, in terms of both hardware and software. Furthermore, Carel can be used to load the binary files onto the new pCO5+ HS. The pCO5+ HS makes the controller ideal for: • Chillers • Process chillers • Data centres has been developed to operate with R404A alternatives R407A and R407F.
