Liquid Level Controller

EKC 347

Application
The controller is used for regulation of the
refrigerant level in:
• Pump reservoirs
• Separators
• Intermediate coolers
• Economisers
• Condensers
• Receivers

System
A signal transmitter will constantly measure
the refrigerant liquid level in the reservoir -
the controller will receive the signal and
subsequently control the valve, in order to
control the refrigerant liquid level according to
liquid level setpoint.

Functions • Liquid level control

LED's on front panel
• Alarm if the set alarm limits are exceeded
• Relay outputs for upper and lower level limits Opening signal to valve
and for alarm level
• Analog input signal which can displace the Indication of upper level limit
reference
• PI control Indication of lower level limit
• Low or High side control
• When AKV/A is selected, a MASTER/SLAVE All Indication of alarm level
system can run up to 3 AKV/A with distributed
Opening Degree
• Manual control of output
• Limitation of Opening degree possible
• ON/OFF operation with hysteresis

EKC 347 The controller receive a signal and are then able
to contol low or high side applications. A analog
input signal (voltage/ current) can displace the
setpoint and then remote change of setpoint is
thus possible.
EKC 347 does support 2 types of Danfoss expan-
sion valves. (see below)
One analog input is available as feed back from
ICM in order to indicate Opening degreee of the
ICM.

used AKS 4100/
ICM - ICM are direct operated motorized valves AKS 4100U
driven by digital stepper motor type ICAD
AKV/A - AKVA or AKV are pulse-width modulat-
ing expansion valves.

Extra options PC operation

The controller can be provided with data com-
munication, so that it may be hooked up with
other products in the ADAP-KOOL® range of
refrigeration controls. Operation, moni­toring and
data collection can then be performed from a PC
- either in situ or at a service company.

meter data communication
Normal display Level control
The liquid level is indicated in % - Liquid level
The % value is calculated on the basis of the input signal and the definition in ”o31”.
The valve’s actual opening degree can be displayed by giving the lower button a brief - OD %
push (1s). Cf. also o17.
Reference
Set point - SP Liquid Level
Regulation is based on the set value provided that there is no external contribution
(o10).
(Push both buttons simultaneously to set the setpoint).
External contribution to the reference r06 r06 Ext. Ref.offset
This setting determines how large a contribution is to be added to the set reference
when the input signal is max (20 mA or 10 V. Cf. also o10).
The value is set in %-points.
Start/stop of regulation r12 r12 Main Switch
With this setting the level regulation can be started and stopped. Start/stop of level
regulation can also be performed with the external contact function. Regulation is
stopped if just one of them is OFF.
Alarm Level Alarms
The controller can give alarm in different situations.
When there is an alarm the three lowest LED’s at the front of the controller will flash,
and the alarm relay is cut in
Limit for upper level A01 A01 Upper Dev.
Here you set the limit value for the upper level indication. The value is set in %. The
relay for the upper level will become activated when the level exceeds the set value.
Limit for lower level A02 A02 Lower Dev.
Here you set the limit value for the lower level indication. The value is set in %. The re-
lay for the lower level will become activated when the level drops below the set level.
Time delay for upper level limit A03 A03 Upper Delay
When the limit value is exceeded a timer function will start. The relay will not become
activated until the set time delay has been passed. The time delay is set in seconds.
Delay for lower limit level A15 A15 Lower Delay
When the limit value is exceeded a timer function will start.The relay will not become
activated until the set time delay has been passed.
The time delay is set in seconds.
Limit for alarm level A16 A16 Limit Alarm
An alarm level can be set which when passed will activate the alarm relay- The value is
set in %. Cf. also the definition in A18.
If the limit alarm (A3) is not required, it can be avoided by means of the following set-
ting in A16:
100 : If the rising level definition has been chosen. (A18=0 or 2)
0: If the falling level definition has been chosen. (A18=1 or 3)
Time delay for alarm level A17 A17 Limit Delay
When the alarm level is exceeded a timer function will start. The relay will not become
activated until the set time delay has been passed.
The time delay is set in seconds.

Control parameters Injection Settings
Definition of regulating principle n35 n35 Low/High Pr.
Here you set whether the controller is to open or close the valve when the liquid level
is rising.
Low (0): Regulation on the low-pressure side. The valve closes when liquid level is
rising.
High (1): Regulation on the high-pressure side. The valve opens when liquid level is
rising.
Period time n13 n13 AKV per.time
An AKV/A valve is operated with pulses of a given length. The length depends on the
opening degree required. If a large opening degree is required, the pulse will last for
an entire period time. A period time will thus comprise both open and closed valve.

Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
Valve and output signal o09 o09 AO type
The controller can control three types of expansion valves - ICM or AKV/A.
With AKV/A up to three EKC 347 controllers can be linked up to a MASTER/SLAVE
function (this function is only used if there is a need for several parallel AKV/A expan-
sion valves). The application is selected with one of the following settings:
1: ICM. AO: 4-20 mA
2: ICM. AO: 0-20 mA
3: AKV/A, AO: 4-20 mA
4: AKV/A, AO: 0-20 mA
or, if the master/slave function is used::
5: AKV/A, MASTER
6: AKV/A, SLAVE 1/1. AO:4-20 mA
7: AKV/A, SLAVE 1/1. AO:0-20 mA
8: AKV/A, SLAVE 1/2. AO:4-20 mA
9: AKV/A, SLAVE 1/2. AO:0-20 mA
10: AKV/A, SLAVE 2/2. AO:4-20 mA
11: AKV/A, SLAVE 2/2. AO:0-20 mA

16: AKV/A, SLAVE 2/2. AO:4-20 mA- AO always updated
17: AKV/A, SLAVE 2/2. AO:0-20 mA- AO always updated

With settings 1 and 2 the AO [mA] signal is dedicated for the motor valve ICM.
With settings 3, 4, AO [mA] will be send out a signal for process indications.
With settings 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11, AO [mA] on EKC 347 SLAVE, will be send out a signal
for process indications.
With settings 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17, AO will also be updated (active) when DI is OFF
Reference displacement o10 o10 AI type
If you wish to connect a signal that is to displace the controller’s control reference, the
signal must be defined in this menu.
The signal is connected to terminals 19-21 or 20-21
0: No signal
1: 4 - 20 mA
2: 0 - 20 mA
3: 2 - 10 V
4: 0 - 10 V
(The min. value will give no displacement. The max. value will displace the reference
with the value set in menu r06).
Input signal from the level-measuring unit o31 o31 Levelsign.
The input signal for terminals 14-16 or 15-16 must be defined:
0: No signal
1: Current signal of 4-20 mA
2: Voltage signal. The voltage range must be set in the next two menus. (If the con-
nections are a master/slave system and the signal to the master is 4 to 20 mA, the
setting in the slave modules must also be selected to 1 – this must be done, even if
the signal is connected to the voltage input).
Voltage signal’s lower value o32 o32 Lev. V. Low
(only if the setting in 031 = 2).
Voltage signal’s upper value o33 o33 Lev. V. High
(only if the setting in o31 = 2)
Position signal o34 o34 Valve feedb.
If a ICM valve is selected it is possible to have ICM valve position as a [mA] feed back
signal
0: Not used
1: ICM mA feedback signal from connected ICAD.

Language o11 o11 Language

This setting is only required when data communication is connected to the controller.
Settings: 0=English, 1=German, 2=French, 3=Danish, 4=Spanish, 5=Italian, and 6=
Swedish
When the controller is operated via data communication, the texts in the right-hand
column will be shown in the selected language.
When you change the setting to an other language you must activate o04 before "the
new language" can be visible from the AKM program.
Selection of parameter for displays and AO o17 o17 Display / AO
The selection depends on the setting made in menu ”o34”. The selected value to
display is also send to AO, except when ICM or AKV/A as MASTER, has been selected
as valve type (o09=1 or 2 or 5)

If o34 has been set at 0, the subsequent setting of o17 will mean:
0: The liquid level will be shown in the ”normal display”
1: The valve’s opening degree OD will be shown in the ”normal display”

If o34 has been set at 1, the subsequent setting of o17 will mean:
0: The liquid level will be shown in the ”normal display”
1: The ICM valve position feed back signal [%] will be shown in the ”normal display”

The normal display has now been selected. If the other is requested, activate the con-
trollers lowest button This will give a display showing of liquid level/opening degree
- or vice versa. After five seconds the display will revert to the original mode.

ON/OFF application Low pressure system

Beside of modulating PI control EKC 347 does also
support ON/OFF operation with hysteresis.

To ensure this operation:

P.Band must be (n04)=0%//OFF
Hysteresis is given by (n34)
Setpoint as normal procedure. (pushing the
upper/lower buttons simultaneously)
Low or High side system. (n35)
