Introduction
Guidelines for selection of electrical control valves
Thermostatic expansion valves and mechanical regulator valves
have been used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry
to control superheat and refrigerant mass flow since its very
beginning. As today’s systems require improved energy
efficiency, tighter temperature control, wider range of operating
conditions and incorporate new features like remote monitoring
and diagnostics, the application of electronically operated
valves becomes mandatory. Only they offer the controls
performance necessary to meet these needs.
As more new refrigerants appear on the market requiring an
ever increasing number of different charges and settings for
thermostatic expansion valves, electrical control valves can
solve this problem too.
ALCO electrical control valves are the solution for the
challenges above. The latest technology and more than 80
years of experience in design and production of flow controls
including Thermo® expansion valves have been incorporated in
the design of the EX4, EX5, EX6, EX7 and EX8.
The following guideline should be taken in to the consideration
in order to obtain full advantages of ECV:
Published capacities are maximum. There are no reserve
capacities.
Larger size of valve leads to shorter pull down period and
shorter travel time i.e. faster respond. For example, EX7
has maximum 3.2 seconds travel time. The valve has
approximately 1.6 seconds travel time at 50% capacity
operation.
Construction
EX4/EX5/EX6/EX7/EX8 consist of two main internal
assemblies, the valve and the stepper motor. The stepper motor
is connected directly to the slide and cage assembly of the
valve. Similar to the technology used in compressors, the motor
is exposed to refrigerant and lubricant and the materials used
are identical. The housing of the motor and valve assembly is
fully hermetic, utilising exclusively brazing and welding
technologies and eliminating all gaskets.
This design offers several technical advantages. The motor is
direct coupled to the valve assembly for easy and reliable
movement of the valve slide, no need for any other seals and
eliminating the use of bellows and diaphragms which could be
subject to lifetime limitations and leaks.
Four electrical pins connect the motor to the outside. These
pins are applied to the housing using melting-glass process
technology. The EX4/5/6/7/8 pins require a M12 electrical
connector.
The complete housing of the ECVs is made from stainless steel.
Unlike to mechanical expansion valves, EX4/5/6/7/8 are
equipped with ceramic slide port.
Features:
Wide range regulation (10 … 100%) with one slide orifice
for each valve
Linear characteristic over entire capacity range
Positive shut-off

ALCO Selection Tool
For easy and quick selection of Electrical Control Valves an
Excel based selection tool can be ordered from the ALCO sales
offices, or use the quick selection tables mentioned in this
datasheet.
Example:
System with R407C having two different operating conditions:
A) 110 kW capacity at +4°C/+50°C with two stages compressor
at 50%/100% capacity
B) 137 kW at +4°C/+30°C with two stages compressor at
50%/100% capacity
EX6 with 126 kW covers condition A, however is not sufficient
to cover condition B. It is recommended to select the larger
valve EX7 which offers 337 kW at condition A and 293 kW at
condition B.
Condition A:
Full load ratio =
110
= 33%
337
Partial load ratio =
(110 / 2)
= 16%
337
Condition B:
Full load ratio =
137
= 47%
293
(137 / 2)
= 23%
293
The capacity ratios of system to valve are in all conditions
higher than 10%. It is recommended to use EX7 rather EX6.
Partial load ratio =

Remarks: Bi-flow versions are not released for use below -40°C.
EX6, EX7 and EX8 must be installed with motor downward in suction line applications.
This insures the valve life expectancy.
Multiply above nominal capacities by following factors to obtain capacities at different pressure drops:
∆P, bar
Correction factor
0.10
0.82
0.15
1.00
0.20
1.15

Electrical Control Valves
Alco Controls
Driver and controller
In contrary to thermo-expansion and regulator valves, stepper
motor driven valves are not self operated actuators and require:
a stepper motor driver which generates the digital pulse
sequence needed to move the stepper motor in clockwise
or counter clockwise direction
an algorithm which determines the opening of the valve as
a function of system parameters and conditions.
Alco Controls offers several solutions for this task:
EC3-X33 Superheat controller as stand alone for all
applications and EC3-X32 Superheat controller for use in
TCP/IP networks. The modules contain all required algorithms
for full operation of ALCO ECVs. For further details please refer
to EC3X33 or EC3X32 technical data sheet.
EC3-33x Cold Room Controller is a digital temperature
controller primary for refrigeration applications such as cold
rooms. It features temperature control, superheat control and
defrost, compressor and fan management where applicable.
For further details please refer to EC33x technical data sheet.
The following information is for those customers who want
to develop their own driver/controller/algorithms:
Function
1) Motor
A 2-phase bipolar stepper motor drives the EX4/5/6/7/8. This
motor follows the basic operating characteristics of any stepper
motor i.e. the motor will be held in position unless current
pulses from a driver board initiate rotation in either direction.
The direction of the rotation depends on the phase relationship
of the current pulses, the amount of rotation is dependent on
the number of pulses. One pulse will drive the motor one step
i.e. the rotor will move by α=1.8°. Successive pulses will lead to
continuous rotation.
The drive shaft of the rotor is connected to a spindle which
transforms the rotation into linear motion of the valve slide.

EXD-U Universal driver is a stepper motor driver which uses
an analogue input signal to define the valve opening. It enables
the operation of EX4/EX5/EX6/EX7/EX8 as:
• Electronic expansion valve
• Capacity control by means of hot gas bypass or evaporating
pressure regulator
• Crankcase pressure regulator
• Condenser pressure regulator
• Liquid level actuator
• Liquid injection valve
The input signal for the driver module can be 4…20mA or
0…10V. The output pulses provide the proportional
opening/closing of EX4/EX5/EX6/EX7/EX8 and consequently
the control of liquid or vapour refrigerant mass flow. The
universal driver module can be connected to any controller
which provides the analogue signal. This gives system
manufacturers the extreme flexibility to use any desired
controller in conjunction with the universal driver module to
achieve different functionality. For further details please refer to
EXD-U technical data sheet.
The patented valve control module VCM is a hybrid integrated
circuit, which provides the superheat algorithm and the stepper
motor driver to those customers, who want to integrate the
valve control into their own system controller. This solution is
mainly for OEMs having serial mass production systems.
2) Valve
The gate type valve is optimised to provide a wide range of
capacity with a linear relation between flow and positioning of
the valve (capacity vs. number of steps). Slide and ports are
made from ceramic for precise flow characteristics, high
resolution and infinite life.
The compliant slide eliminates undesirable horizontal forces
caused by differential pressure (across the valve) to the cage
assembly and shaft of stepper motor. The internal design of the
EX4/5/6/7/8 is patented.
Total valve travel is 750 full steps for EX4/5/6, 1600 steps for
EX7 and 2600 steps for EX8.
A mechanical stop in the fully closed position of the valve acts
as reference point. The controller is reset by driving the valve
towards the fully closed position against the mechanical stop.
By overdriving the valve i.e. applying more than the full number
of steps, it can be assured that the reference point is correct.

3) Driving of stepper motor
There are many different options to drive stepper motors like
the one used in the EX4/5/6/7/8. Alco Controls stepper motors
need a driver board with chopper drive function (constant
current), an interface and a controller.
Chopper drive (constant current)
The stepper motor of EX4/5/6/7/8 is a bipolar, 2-phase
permanent-magnet motor and operates with constant DC
current in each phase. A driver board with chopper drive
function feeds a DC current as indicated below to the windings
of the stepper motor.
