1.3 Accessories EVD ice is an electronic superheat controller for Carel unipolar expansion valves. EVD ice has been specially designed to be installed near the valve, directly on the refrigerant circuit, simplifying installation and making Ratiometric pressure probe P/N SPKT0013P0 (-1 to 9.3 bars)
Important: • install EVD ice on the evaporator away from the places where EVD ice can be installed directly on the evaporator. Mark the position and ice forms; drill the holes (Ø <4.5 mm). Then tighten the fastening screws. •...
