1.1 Introduction
The AKD 102 ADAP-KOOL Drive from Danfoss Food Retail has been designed with our refrigeration customers clearly in
mind. The drive is designed to make commissioning and installation a simple and easy task. The built in “wizard” set up
menu guides the installer through the set up of the drive in a clear and structured manner, and has been constructed with
reference to the industries refrigeration engineers, to ensure that the text and language used makes complete sense to the
installer.
The AKD 102 drive comes with a common user interface which covers all power ratings between 1.1- 250 kW. Thus ensuring
that once you have learnt how to commission one drive you understand how to commission them all. Included on this local
control panel is an “info” button which is essentially a built in drive instruction manual which help the user to both gain
information and also suggests other parameters which may need to be changed. The AKD 102 also features a built in “pack
controller” controlled via the drives own standard software. This allows the drive to control the lead compressor via variable
speed and the bringing on line of another 2 compressors in fixed speed mode. This leads to extremely efficient pack design
which also adds the energy efficiency of variable speed control. Using the drive in this way eliminates the need for an
external pack controller thus giving financial savings to the customer.
The drive can be supplied in either of two protection classes IP21(IP20 up to 7,5kW) or IP55 (IP66 on request); this insures
that our customers benefit from having the most robust of designs supplied directly from the factory, without the need for
additional cabinets in which to house the drive. The AKD also benefits from the inclusion of having built in RFI filters as
standard which means that the problems associated with radio interference and long cable runs are no problem for our
customers.
The modular construction of the AKD means that you only have to pay for what you need. Each AKD is manufactured only
when we receive a customer order and so is built exactly to customer specification with any chosen options added at this
stage. But by using this manufacturing and design philosophy it means that should options such as ADAP-KOOL Lon be
required at some future date they are a simple retrofit inside of the drive which can be done by anyone with extreme ease.
Warranty: Each AKD comes with 18 months warranty from date of manufacture or 12 months from date of documented
installation, whichever comes first thus ensuring that our Food Retail customers have complete peace of mind when
choosing AKD as their drive of choice.
