Carel EVD Ice in Buffalo PS-EVD Evaporators

A game changing product is now available exclusively from Actrol and the Reece Group. The Carel EVD Ice is a complete system which includes an electronic expansion valve, controller and sensors in a single package. This package is fitted in Buffalo PS-EVD evaporators only and is exclusive to Actrol and the Reece Group.
It is going to revolutionise the refrigeration industry.

The Carel EVD Ice has many advantages and a very attractive payback period.

  • Simple installation as it is already factory fitted and wired inside the Buffalo PS evaporator
  • Quicker and simpler commissioning with only two parameters to set, refrigerant type and superheat
  • Live digital superheat display which is accurate to one decimal place
  • No need to accurately set up and control the condensing pressure. It is not dependent on pressure differential
  • Proven savings of electronic expansion valve technology yields energy savings of up to 30%

Electronic expansion valves (EXV) provide improved system efficiency by better controlling
the refrigerant flow via control of the evaporator superheat. Traditional mechanical TX valves (TXV) require a minimum pressure drop across the TXV to work effectively. This is usually achieved by cycling condenser fans to keep a minimum condensing pressure. EXV’s do not require this minimum pressure differential allowing the difference between the condensing and evaporating pressures to be reduced. The lower differential pressure results in less compressor energy consumption which offers enormous energy cost savings.

The Carel EVD Ice is the first package in the world designed to fit within the evaporator and therefore inside the cool or freezer room. The controller uses plastic moulding technology developed for the automotive industry to achieve the required electrical IP rating.
