1.1 Smooth lines on MPXPRO: how it works
The main target of the Smooth lines function, available on MPXPRO version 3.2 and higher, is to keep the
control temperature very stable around the set point, avoiding frequent ON/OFF cycles of cooling request.
The parameters involved in the Smooth lines confi guration are listed in the following table:

The function works as follows: when the control temperature reaches the set point + half of the diff erential,
the control is not stopped, and a special PID algorithm increases the working superheat set point in order
to modulate the expansion valve. This special algorithm works until the control temperature exceeds St –
PLt.
