Efficient new 450-ton Turbocor VTX is Danfoss’s largest oil-free compressor yet

September 2020

Efficient new 450-ton Turbocor® VTX is Danfoss’s largest oil-free compressor yet

Danfoss has announced the launch of its highest-capacity oil-free compressor yet—bringing the benefits of Danfoss Turbocor® magnetic bearing technology to larger water-cooled chillers.

With a nominal capacity rating of 450 tons/1 600 kW, the Danfoss Turbocor® VTX1600 is well placed to bring efficiency and long-lasting performance to larger applications like hospitals, data centers and university campuses. Multiple configurations, delivering capacities in excess of 3 600 tons / 12 600 kW, are possible.

The VTX1600 is built around the same Turbocor® technology that’s proven so effective in more than 80,000 chillers worldwide—delivering high efficiency, low maintenance, and low noise, with zero performance degradation over the compressor’s life.

Like all Danfoss Turbocor® compressors, it’s built in the USA and China to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards, with unparalleled service and support from the world’s leading supplier of oil-free compressor technology. The permanent magnet synchronous motor and integrated variable speed drive provide high efficiency and enable compact design. Two-stage compression allows for stable operation over a wide range of application conditions.

But the VTX1600 offers a step up in more than just capacity. Its Inlet Guide Vanes (IGV)—adapted from the most popular Turbocor® models—and advanced aero design combine industry-leading full-load efficiency with outstanding unloading capability, even at constant entering condenser operating conditions.

The result is a high-capacity compressor that delivers world-class efficiency under all load conditions, using the world’s most trusted oil-free technology and a large operating map to suit a wide range of application conditions.

"VTX1600 represents five years of refinement and innovation at the high-capacity end of the Danfoss Turbocor® range," said Eddie Rodriguez, Aftermarket Product and Service Manager for Danfoss Turbocor®.

"Chiller OEMs have wanted this for some time. Now, they’re able to use the Turbocor® technology they know and trust to deliver efficiency and long-lasting performance in larger applications. Compared to screw non-inverter compressors, that means they can do away with oil management maintenance, cut noise, and improve part-load efficiency by up to 30%."

The Danfoss Turbocor® VTX1600 is designed for use with R134a, and offers a choice of three discharge connection alignments for maximum design flexibility. Danfoss will accept orders from July 2020.

Danfoss reliable backup power module for electronic stepper motor valves

July 2020

Danfoss releases long-lasting, reliable backup power module for electronic stepper motor valves

Monday, July 13, 2020
Danfoss has just released its EKE 2U backup power module for applications such as chillers, heat pumps, cold rooms, CRAC, and food retail—making it easier than ever to protect the compressor in the event of a power outage.

A reliable, easy-to-use alternative to battery packs and solenoid shutoff valves, the Danfoss EKE 2U backup power module reacts quickly to prevent liquid from entering the compressor should the mains power fail.

The module’s ultracapacitor-based technology can be fully charged within 150 seconds, and eliminates the need for battery changing—common with many traditional backup solutions. Meanwhile, its state-of-health indicator helps to quickly identify an unexpected failure—enabling OEMs to deliver a reliable failsafe.

Importantly, the EKE 2U’s galvanic isolation protection and reverse polarity protection also means that its 24v AC/DC power supply can safely be shared between several compatible controllers—such as the Danfoss EKE 1 series—reducing the number of components and additional power supplies, and simplifying system design. This helps reduce overall costs.

Other key features and benefits include:

Two LED arrays—to indicate module status and errors.
Protected power input and output—to eliminate the risk of reverse polarity and shorting.
Active monitoring—to ensure healthy operations.
Ease of use—with plug-and-play installation for Danfoss controllers.
Long life—longer operating life than battery-powered modules and greater reliability due to state-of-health monitoring.
Victor Marinich, Global Segment Director—Air Conditioning at Danfoss said: "The EKE 2U is a great support for OEMs looking to improve backup power reliability in their systems. Its use of a capacitor rather than batteries—plus its unique LED status, error display, and ability to communicate module status to the controller mean that maintenance and replacements can be kept to a minimum."

The EKE 2U is another welcome addition to Danfoss’s extensive portfolio of electronic components which includes the MCX, EKE and EIM365 Superheat controllers, along with a wide range of temperature and pressure sensors.

The module can also be used with third-party controllers and valves—making it a versatile option for a wide-range of systems.

The EKE 2U is now available from Danfoss suppliers worldwide.
