Liquid level transmittter, type AKS 41 / 41U

Introduction

AKS 41 / 41U liquid level transmitters are used to 

measure the liquid level in refrigerant vessels.

The AKS 41 / 41U transmits an active 4-0 mA 

signal which is proportional to the refrigerant 

liquid level.

Special features

”Plug and Play”:

  

no calibration required.

Service friendly:

 

electronic head and sensor tube can be 

separated without emptying the standpipe.

Damping of output signal available.

Supply voltage and load: 

4 V a.c, –15% / +5%, 50/60 Hz  

4 V d.c, ±10% 

1.5 W

Signal output:

   

4-0 mA

Refrigerants:

 

AKS 41 / 41U supports the following refrigerants:

R717 (factory setting) 

R404A 

R134a 

R744 

R718 (H

O)  - R717 and R718 will give the same 

AKS 41 output 

Temperature range: 

–60/+100°C (–76/+1°F) 

 

 

When used in refrigerant above +60°C  

 

(140°F), a Min. Calibration must be    

 

carried out after 1 week of operation.  

 

Subsequently only a Min. Calibration   

 

once a year is needed.

Pressure range:

 

The AKS 41 / 41U is designed for: 

Max. working pressure: 100 bar g (1450 psig)

Connection:

 

Pipe thread ISO 8/1 - G 1A or 3/4 " NPT

Max. load resistance:

 

500 ohm

Ambient temperature:

 

During operation: –5 to +55°C (–13/+131°F).

During transport:  –40 to +70°C (–40/+158°F).

Enclosure:

 

IP65

Connection:

 

4-pole plug (DIN 43650)

Approvals:

 

EMC directive 89/336/EEC 

EMD directive 9/31/EEC 

EN 50081-1 

EN 5008-1

Material:

 

Thread:

  

Stainless steel. AISI 303 

Reference pipe:

  

Stainless steel. AISI 304 

Inner electrode:

  

PTFE 

Electronic top part:

  Cast Aluminium

Technical data

Improved calibration: 

 

AKS 41 / 41U range/signal output can be 

adapted to suit the actual application.
AKS 41 / 41U can be supplied with a LED 

Bargraph indication of Liquid Level, as option 

The 4-0 mA signal from AKS 41 / 41U can be 

used in conjunction with a controller to control 

the refrigerant liquid level.

The Danfoss EKC 347 liquid level controller, is a 

dedicated controller for use with the 

AKS 41 / 41U.
